|
This is a 1992 folded brochure for James "Bo" Gritz for President.It is an 8-1/2 x 16-inch sheet folded to include 8 pages of information with a photo of Gritz on the cover. Gritz is a retired United States Army Special Forces officer who served with distinction during the Vietnam War. Following his military career, Gritz became involved in various attempts to rescue prisoners of war (POWs) associated with the Vietnam War POW/MIA issue. In the 1988 election, Gritz was the candidate for Vice President of the United States on the Populist Party ticket. Initially, unbeknownst to him, he was presented as the running mate of former Ku Klux Klansman David Duke. Gritz withdrew early in the race and publicly distanced himself from Duke. In the 1992 election, after failing to secure the U.S. Taxpayers' Party's nomination, Gritz ran for President of the United States, again under the Populist Party banner. His campaign slogan was "God, Guns and Gritz", and he published a political manifesto titled "The Bill of Gritz" (a play on his last name rhyming with "rights"). He advocated for staunch opposition to what he termed "global government" and the "New World Order", called for an end to all foreign aid, and proposed the abolition of the federal income tax and the Federal Reserve System. During the campaign, Gritz openly declared the United States to be a "Christian Nation", asserting that the country's legal statutes "should reflect unashamed acceptance of Almighty God and His Laws." He received 106,152 votes nationwide, constituting 0.14 percent of the popular vote. In Utah, he received 3.84 percent of the vote and in Idaho he received 2.13 percent of the vote. In Duchesne County and on Oneida County, Idaho, his support exceeded ten percent, while in Franklin County, Idaho, Gritz received over twelve percent of the votes, falling just 23 votes short of pushing Bill Clinton into fourth place - a feat not achieved by a major party nominee in any county nationwide since 1916. Brochure is in fine condition.
