New Hampshire is the only state that requires an independent presidential candidate, or the candidate of an unqualified party, to file a declaration of candidacy before the petition itself is due (although Rhode Island requires a declaration of candidacy for independent candidates for presidential elector by June 25). New Hampshire’s deadline for that was June 13. Petitioning candidates for president who filed the form include Chuck Baldwin, Bob Barr, and Ralph Nader. Also filing the form was the Libertarian Party’s New Hampshire presidential stand-in, George Phillies. Another person who filed is unknown to this writer: she is Yonyuth Hongsakaphadana, who lives in Danbury, Connecticut, according to the New Hampshire Secretary of State’s web page. If anyone knows anything about her, please comment. She does not have a listed phone number. UPDATE: here is a link to the Secretary of State’s web page.
The list now includes Nader, and this:
“New American Independent Organization filed a Declaration of Intent indicating that they will file nomination papers for President and Vice-President of the United States”
Granted, the NAIO has a candidate (McEnulty), IIRC
Yonyuth Hongsakaphadana. I hope she is not a write in candidate!
A McKinney staffer has confirmed that Cynthia McKinney filed the necessary papers.
Classmates lists a Yonyuth Hongsakaphadana. But you never know how many Yonyuth Hongsakaphadana’s there are.
“Hongsakaphadana 2008”
Who needs a campaign slogan? That’s a bumper sticker all by itself.
Is this for real? I went to college with a Yonyuth Hongsakaphadana at University of Michigan in the early ’90’s. Yonyuth however is a male.
Hello Friend,
This is for real. Yonyuth ‘Andrew’ Hongsakaphadana is a Graduate of the University of Michigan and will be running for President in the future…
