I Approve This Message
“I Approve This Message” is a documentary about third parties in America. It follows 2012 Libertarian Candidate Keith Blandford as he runs for Congress US District 1 in SC. The documentary is a look inside the two party system and the possible corruption that occurs behind closed doors. Does this system even work for the people anymore? If not, then why is it so hard for us to oppose it?
“I Approve This Message” explains how more people would rather vote for the lesser of two evils than “throw their vote away”. That is a self defeating philosophy.
“Blanford was fed up with all the politicians that were working for special interests and not for him. So he decided to take a stand. It is very hard to run for Congress if you are not a professional politician. They are paid to campaign, they do not have to work. Keith would sometimes log in over 60 hours a week and still have to campaign,” -Braxton Williams, Producer.
“I Approve This Message” interviews several people including members of the Green Party, campaign managers for Dr. Stein and George Wallace, Democrats, true Independents, as well as the Libertarian Presidential Candidate, Gary Johnson and his running mate Judge Gray. It gives a comprehensive look at the history of third parties leaving the viewer walking away with a better understanding of the dilemma our country faces.
The official trailer for the documentary will be available in February. In the meantime, check out the link to the teaser trailer:
