Draft Dobbs Web Site Launched

First Al Gore. Then Mike Bloomberg. And now, well, the URL pretty much says it all: http://www.loudobbsforpresident.org/.

Yes, the Draft Lou Dobbs movement is up and running, thanks to an organization called Americans for Legal Immigration.

"Lou Dobbs is right about the issues concerning illegal immigration, no AMNESTY, and secure borders!," the site proclaims. "Lou Dobbs is right about our deplorable trade agreements and the war on middle class America. Lou Dobbs is right about the rising military threat from communist China!"

Americans for Legal Immigration acknowledges that "Lou Dobbs does not want to run for President and does not consider himself a politician." But they say there are times when "history demands" great men act even when they don't want to. On the site, you can fill out a form if you're interested in contributing to or volunteering in the Draft Dobbs effort.

Dobbs told the Wall Street Journal last Monday that he isn't planning to run for president but "cannot say never."

In an new commentary, the CNN host argues that the "partisan nonsense and predictable platitudes of this presidential campaign does not augur well for the nation." He adds that "none of the candidates of either party is capable of extricating us from the mess their partisan politics have created."

If he were seriously not interested in running, he would be promoting Ron Paul a whole lot more. Dobbs is definitely interested in running. He''s got til March to declare. But I agree with the last guy. Put Paul on the ticket!

Lou Dobbs speaks to the very real concerns of the American people. Trade Agreements that affect jobs. Outsourcing that affects jobs. Illegal Immigration affects jobs , wages and future security. Lou is concerned about the middle class and its falling wages. He is concerned about the educational system. We need someone who knows our concerns and who has the strong desire to see our concerns addressed and dealth with properly.

We need a Lou Dobbs.

What a huge breath of fresh air should Lou Dobbs throw his hat in the ring. I would definitely vote for him. Those that ascribe to him a one issue platform definitely know nothing about him and the stances he has taken on the economy, special interests, lobbyist influence peddling, government corruption, truth in government, free trade and favored trade status issues, national security, middle class specific problems, education, food safety and inspections, the environment, China''s dangerous imports and its influence on our national deficit, NAFTA, SPP, NAU, ridiculous government treaties, crime, drugs, racial issues and the list goes on.

Lou Dobbs has talked about, taken stances on, exposed and researched more issues than any other presidential candidate ever has or ever will
