We are in the midst of a campaign muddied by hype and poisoned by corruption. A single candidate has stepped forward to describe the answer to this decay— elect an independent candidate to the presidency. These thirteen speeches made by Emanuel Pastreich between his declaration of candidacy in February and July of 2020 depict the reality we find ourselves in and offer real solutions.

Pastreich refuses to pin the blame on any one person. He suggests we return to the spirit of the constitution and rediscover the ethical foundations for good governance that have been buried by public relations firms, investment banks, and legions of politicians and self-appointed experts.
