My Story: To uplift our Party's issues, I ran for President in 2007-2008 at http://www.franklynch.org. I made the tremendous investment of time, blood, sweat and tears to run for President, knowing full well that I could never get our Party's nomination. Nevertheless I chose to run because I thought it unacceptable that at July 20, 2007, even after seven long months into the campaign, every single one of the other candidates' platforms and websites failed to include Universal Healthcare (except Kucinich), Energy Independence, Free College, Extending Education, Free Daycare, Plug-In Cars, Windfarms, 20 million New Green Jobs, and Talking to Our Enemies. My goal was to get these and other issues included by our Party. After I posted these issues on my five websites of more than 180 pages including http://www.franklynch.org, succeeded in getting on the 2008 Democratic Presidential Primary ballots of some states and threatened to get on all 50 ballots, and got covered on West Palm Beach television five times the day Hillary was in my town and she did not get on TV (did that bother her staff?), and conducted a major behind the scenes, wholesale campaign using Faxes and Certified mail linked to my websites to promote these issues to the 50 Chairpersons of the 50 State Democratic Party organizations and the DNC, suddenly all these issues magically appeared as major components of Obama's and Clinton's platforms and websites, and became central to our Party's Core Issues. Having achieved that successful contribution to our Party, and for the sake of Party Unity, I withdrew as a Presidential candidate, but will continue working and blogging to improve our Party and our candidates' issues. This was so successful that today all these issues have become our Party's Core Issues, and most people forget that on July 20, 2007, none of our candidates for President were pushing these issues. Even Hillary had not revived her Universal Healthcare after its defeat in 1993, ignored it for 14 years, until I televised it during her visit. I am seeking to further our Democratic Party goals of bringing true equality to every person in America by establishing a new, non-profit, innovative University of Medicine, Bioscience, Math and Engineering dedicated to training teachers to teach these vital subjects and cure our catastrophic, nation-destroying shortage of 3,000,000 medicine, math and science teachers at http://www.fluni.com, named after my deceased father. I take no compensation, serving as Chancelor without pay. Please join me at http://www.fluni.com in adopting more progressive issues to move America a hundred years into the future, with complete equality of education and opportunity for every person in America, as rapidly as possible. http://www.franklynchfoundation.org is my broader charity, also named after my deceased father who was born in bone-crushing poverty, that will spend every dollar inside America on America's Forgotten Poor, the direct opposite of so many charities that send most dollars overseas. I keep the administrative cost and overhead truly low, so more of your donations shall reach the intended than with any other charity, and again, I serve without pay.

I ran for President in 2007-2008, and introduced many vitally important issues that our Party and Sen. Obama have since adopted. Join me to bring true equality to every person in America, and to further advance the goals of our Democratic Party by advancing education in medicine, bioscience, math & engineering, by curing our catastrophic, nation-destroying shortage of 3,000,000 teachers, and by raising teachers' pay.
