A lot of people are running for president, but one candidate's had the second toughest job in America. One candidate's got a plan for immediate property tax relief, now, not next year. And one candidate's put principle above party to stand up for his beliefs instead of keeping silent. Whether you're a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, if you're tired of the same old words and the same old faces, switch to John Lindsay. He's proved he's Independent. He's proved he's a fighter.
