Let Freedom Bowl!!!

Bowling with the President

When elected President one my first executive orders will be to establish the White House Bowling League (WHBL). This league will bring together Americans from across the country to knock down pins of intolerance, bigotry, prejudice and hatred. This bowling league will be about splitting our differences and working together to spare those less fortunate. The alley will provide us with a forum to discuss the key issues of the day and frame the debate. Bowling together we can pick up the 7/10 split of social security and healthcare. To the anti-bowling turkey naysayers seeking to throw this great country into the gutter, I say not on my watch! Instead we shall unite to strike those who stand against us freedom and the American way of life.

The league will be bi-partisan and roll in the White House Bowling Alley. Any U.S. citizen is welcome to join; however, space will be limited due to the size of the alley. Whether you bowl from the left side or the right side, all will be welcome to loft their ball. Those interested in joining the WHBL please post a comment on the blog to the attention of WHBL Commissioner, Stephen "Car Crash" DeRose.

Shoe rental will cost $1.00 and bowling balls in various weights will be made available.

History of the White House Bowling Alley:
In 1947 bowling lanes were built in the ground floor of the West Wing (in the location of the present-day Situation Room) as a birthday gift for President Truman. The lanes were moved to the Old Executive Office Building in 1955 to make way for a mimeograph room (a duplicator for making many copies that utilizes a stencil through which ink is pressed.) In 1969 friends of President and Mrs. Nixon paid for a new one-lane bowling alley to be built in an underground workspace are below the driveway leading to the North Portico.

We Are Back!!!

Though the blog has been a way for a while the campaign has continued.

I want you to know that I am launching a full investigation to determine who was behind this vast conspiracy to silence not just my voice but the voice of America as well. While political operatives may have tried to derail, disrupt and shut down this campaign they have only invigorated, energized and galvanized our movement. The similarities I share in common with the past Presidents have struck a nerve with those in power.

Blog-gate, was an attack not just on me but on America. Our ideas and stances on the issues not only have resonated with the American public but have put a fear in the established political parties. Whether it was the Democrats, Republicans, lobbyists or special interest groups, we will not let America be bamboozled, hoodwinked or bewildered by dirty tactics. This attempt to silence me was an attempt to muzzle America, to mute the Statue of Liberty, to crack the Liberty Bell more, to shred the Constitution and edit the Bill of Rights. Well, I will not sit or stand for it. I say, let freedom ring, let the bald eagle soar, let the Statue of Liberty stand with her arm raised high to the sky.

I am proud to report that Freedompalooza was a record breaking success this summer. I want to thank everyone who turned out particularly during our swing through the South and our tour of the beaches along the East coast. Shoshi and I loved meeting each of you and appreciate your support, kind words and warmth you showered upon us was we traveled this great country.

President-esque Part III - Things I have in common with past Presidents

Part III in this series examines the many shared characteristics, experiences and hobbies I have in common with presidents 22 - 32 (1885 – 1945).

Grover Cleveland personally answered the White House phone. I too personally answer my phone. "Gregg Rosenberg how can I help you?"
Benjamin Harrison conducted one of the first "front-porch" campaigns, delivering short speeches to delegations that visited him in Indianapolis. I am holding a "front-porch" campaign but because I don't really have a porch they are more like "lobby talks" or "doorway conversations".
William McKinley was the first president to ride in an automobile. I too have ridden in an automobile.
Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a small bear cub and thus the teddy bear was named after him. I too refuse to shoot small bear cubs and I also had a teddy bear.
William Howard Taft liked milk so much that he brought his own cow to the White House. I too like milk. (I do not have any plans at this time to bring a cow to the White House.)
Woodrow Wilson went to school in New Jersey. I went to school in New Jersey.
Warren G. Harding had the largest feet of any President, he wore a size 14 shoes. I too have size 14 shoes.
Calvin Coolidge loved having his head rubbed with Vaseline while he ate breakfast in bed. I enjoy breakfast in bed, however I skip the Vaseline head rub.
Herbert Hoover played a game called Hoover-ball during his presidency which was a combination of tennis, volleyball and a medicine ball. White House physician Admiral Joel T. Boone invented the game to keep President Hoover physically fit. I too plan to invent a game called Gregg-ball to be played during my presidency. Specific details to follow.
Franklin D. Roosevelt liked foods "he could dig into," according to Henrietta Nesbitt, the White House housekeeper. Among his favorite dishes were scrambled eggs, fish chowder, grilled cheese sandwiches, hot dogs, and fruitcake. I too love scrambled eggs, grilled cheese sandwiches and hot dogs (not necessarily in the same meal.)

President-esque Part II - Things I have in common with past Presidents

Part II in this series examines the many shared characteristics, experiences and hobbies I have in common with presidents 11 - 21 (1845 – 1885).

James K Polk, as president, expanded the borders of the United States to the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Ocean is one of my favorite oceans.
Zachary Taylor was the first president not previously elected to any other public office. I too have not previously been elected to any other public office. Taylor’s nickname was “Old Rough and Ready” or as his close friends called him “Double R.” My nickname in junior high school was “Double G.”
Millard Fillmore was one of six Presidents born in a log cabin. I grew up playing with Lincoln Logs.
Franklin Pierce was the first president to memorize his inaugural address and recite it from memory. I am working on memorizing my inaugural address.
James Buchanan was a Pisces. I am a Pisces.
Abraham Lincoln was over six feet tall. I too am over six feet tall.
Andrew Johnson was Vice President before becoming President. I was Vice President of my junior high school.
Ulysses S. Grant is pictured on the $50 bill and can be found in Grant's Tomb. I like $50 bills and have visited Grant’s Tomb on several occasions.
Rutherford B. Hayes was the first president to have a telephone in the White House and had a Greyhound dog named Grim. I support the use of telephones in the White House and have ridden on Greyhound buses.
James A. Garfield was the first left-handed president. I am left-handed.
Chester A. Arthur was nicknamed "Elegant Arthur" for his fashion sense. I have been told that I have an elegant fashion sense.

Newsweek, Truman and the 2008 Field...

Wanted: A New Truman. Does Anybody in the 2008 Field Have What it Takes?

News flash - what presidential candidate doesn't want to be likened to Truman, Lincoln or Washington? Does anyone really expect a candidate to say they want to be like William Henry Harrison, Millard Filmore or Jimmy Carter?

Evan Thomas of Newsweek points out that 1953, the year Truman left the White House; his administration was accused of corruption and blamed for the Korean War. I ask, if the present field of candidates were campaigning for President in 1953, do you think any of them would associate themselves with Truman or be singing his praises? Every candidate wants to be associated with the giants of our great history; that's a no brainier (See my posting on how I share many characteristics, experiences and hobbies with the past 42 Presidents who have led this great country).

Leadership is not about listening to high-priced consultants or taking a poll to figure out what you believe or your stance on an issue. Leadership is doing the right thing because it is what you believe. Leadership is about having convictions that don't change with the breeze and yet being principled enough that they are not necessarily intractable when faced with new developments.

I say let the other candidates spend tens of millions of dollars on their consultants and polls. I use my ears to listen to what the American people are saying, my eyes to see how they are doing and my heart to understand how they are feeling.

Time Magazine - List of the Most Influential People in the World...

I would like to state for the record that even though I was never approached by anyone at Time magazine, I was never interested in being profiled or even having my name appear on their list of most influential people in the world. I don't believe in labels whether they are leader & revolutionary, builder & titan, hero & pioneer, artist & entertainer, scientist & thinker. I like to think of myself as all of these things and thus I call myself an American!

Yes, I am running for president and was named Time's Person of the Year in 2006 but who is to say that makes someone influential. I say this to you, America, had they asked me to be on this list I would have said no thank you. As far as I'm concerned this list carries as much weight as People Magazine's World's Most Beautiful People (which I was also not asked to be on) or Forbes Magazine's The World's Billionaires List (I'm waiting for them to come out with a Thousandaires list.)

To the 100 people the made this list, congratulations. I consider myself a man of the people and happily count myself among the 300,000,000+ Americans and the 6,200,000,000+ non-Americans who are not on the list.

President-esque....Things I have in common with past Presidents - Part I

For those of you I have not already met you might be wondering why you should vote Gregg Rosenberg for President. I share many characteristics, experiences and hobbies with the 42 Presidents who have led this great country. See for yourself in the first of a four part series. Part I looks at the first ten presidents (1789 – 1845).

George Washington refused to wear a powdered wig. I too refuse to wear a powdered wig.
John Adams got lost on his way to the White House. I too have gotten lost on the way to the White House.
Thomas Jefferson had Jewish ancestors, I have Jewish ancestors.
James Madison was the first President to regularly wear trousers instead of knee breeches. I too prefer trousers to knee breeches.
James Monroe under took a goodwill tour after being elected that resulted in his presidency being known as "The Era of Good Feelings." Upon my being elected I would undertake a "really goodwill tour" that will result in my presidency being known as "The Era of Really Good Feelings."
John Quincy Adams was the first President to wear trousers at his inauguration. I will wear trousers at my inauguration. (Adams customarily took a nude early morning swim in the Potomac River. I can neither confirm nor deny my swimming habits.)
Andrew Jackson was the first President to ride on a railroad train and as President sought to act as the direct representative of the common man. I too have taken a ride on a railroad train and consider myself a direct representative of the common man.
Martin Van Buren had large mutton-chop sideburns. I once grew mutton-chop sideburns.
William Harrison did not wear overcoat, hat, or gloves during his swearing-in ceremony. I too will not wear an overcoat, hat, or gloves; but I will wear long johns under my suit.
John Tyler was playing marbles when informed that he had become president upon the death of President Harrison. I have been known to enjoy a game of marbles every now and then.

Debate, Shmbate!

Tonight (April 26, 2007) in the great city of Orangeburg, South Carolina eight Democratic presidential candidates will gather at South Carolina State University to debate each other. Contrary to various rumors, I will not be attending this debate either in-person, via video conference or via telephone. I will in the great state of New York having my own debate with the American people.

South Carolina is a wonderful state that I have visited on many occasions and look forward to visiting in the future. I will not be at this debate, not just because I was not invited, but because I am not interested in participating in this fabricated, dog and pony sound bite show. My focus is on talking directly to the American people, not hanging out and schmoozing with other candidates.

Here’s what some of these “Presidential Candidates” are saying about the debate:

"I've just got to make sure I don't trip walking on the stage," Delaware Sen. Joe Biden.

"It takes me 60 seconds to clear my throat," Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.

America, Gregg Rosenberg does not often trip when he walks and he doesn’t take 60 seconds to clear his throat. I ask you this, what do YOU think people are going to do tonight watch the debate or debate what to watch (“Are You Smarter Than a 5^th Grader?” or Survivor: Fiji” or “NBA Playoffs: Detroit at Orlando” or “NHL Playoffs: San Jose at Detroit”)?

For those interested I will be available to debate and discuss any and all issues (Iraq, healthcare, the economy, what television show to watch tonight, etc.) all night long, feel free to contact me at greggforamerica.blogspot.com.

I’d like to take this opportunity to wish a happy 74^th birthday day to Carol Burnett. I’d like to express my support to the people of Chernobyl on the 21^st anniversary of the world’s worst nuclear power plant accident. Congratulations and happy 42^nd independence day to the people of Tanzania. Finally, I would like to extend a special thank you to the federal troops who tracked down John Wilkes Booth on this day 142 years ago.

BREAKING NEWS: Rosenberg Raises $00,000,000.00 in First Quarter

New York -- Bucking political convention, potential Presidential candidate Gregg Rosenberg is refusing to accept any and all campaign contributions. "My opponents can spend their time and energy focusing on money and fundraising; my focus is on the American people and making their lives better," Rosenberg declared at recent town hall meeting in Memphis, Tennessee. “I'm modeling my Presidency after George Washington. He didn't do any fundraising and neither am I."

During the first quarter of 2007 Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama, Mitt Romney, Rudolph Giuliani, John Edwards and John McCain together have raised over $100 million. Asked if thought he was putting himself at a disadvantage, Rosenberg said, "I'm not interested in taking money out of the American’s wallets; this campaign is about helping put money IN American's wallets," Rosenberg said. "Everywhere I go people offer to contribute money to my campaign and I say no thank you, just remember to vote Rosenberg on November 4, 2008."

Rosenberg said he would not accept federal funding and questioned why his opponents who are career politicians failed to fix campaign finance reform. "I refuse to take campaign contributions because my campaign is about giving back to the American people. The last thing we need is more television commercials, more junk mail or more people calling during dinner." Around Rosenberg’s campaign headquarters the only kind of PAC that is discussed is whether Ms. Pacman is a better game then Pacman.

Rosenberg’s grassroots campaign is focused on raising ideas not money. "I'm not interested in raising $300,000,000. I'm interested in meeting 300,000,000 Americans,” Rosenberg said. “This campaign is not powered by dollars; it’s powered by the American people."

For those critics who question Rosenberg’s fiscal policy he remarked, “I love capitalism and am a fan of the free market. That being said, to all the corporate donors, PACs, lobbyists and interest groups, this campaign is not for sale!"

The Declaration of Independence

Since announcing my decision to form an exploratory committee to seek the office of the President of the United States, I have been approached by countless people offering me their support and their vote regardless of their political party. Everywhere I go people want to know my political affiliation.

I have been recruited by both Democrats and Republicans, who asked me to represent them and their party in seeking the nomination of President of the United States.

I have been lobbied by people on both the left and the right, to bring my ideas and represent them and our cause.

I have been pressured by members of the political establishment who have tried to convince me not to run at this time, but to wait until 2012.

Most importantly, I have heard from many, many, many, many Americans from across this great country, who have been encouraged by this campaign and what it represents.

When people ask me what is my political party affiliation, I tell them, I AM AN AMERICAN, THAT'S MY POLITICAL AFFILIATION!

I refuse to let myself be defined by a label or to be pigeon holed. I am not a Donkey. I am not Elephant. I'm an AMERICAN.

I believe the Democrat and Republican parties have some very good ideas. However, they keep focusing and getting bogged down in the bad ideas and in the dumb ideas. My candidacy is about taking the best and brightest good ideas and smart ideas from both parties, leaving the bad and dumb ones behind.

My passport does not say Democrat, Republican, Bull Moose, Federalist or Whig. It says I’m an American.

I’m Gregg Rosenberg and I believe in the American people.

Press Coverage of Rosenberg Presidential Exploratory Announcement

Gregg Rosenberg Forms Presidential Exploratory Committee

NEW YORK (GNN) – Gregg Rosenberg said Wednesday he is taking a first step toward running for president next year.

"I will be filing papers in the near future to create a presidential exploratory committee," the New Jersey native said, adding that he will announce his final decision in the coming months.

"Our leaders in Washington are focused on the 'politics of me' when they should be working on fixing the 'politics of you'. I say we've had enough of the bickering partisanship that has plagued our country, it's time to stand up and put the U back in USA," Rosenberg declared.

In an effort to show he is serious about campaign finance reform, Rosenberg has pledged to only accept campaign contributions of less then $118 and that supportors will only be allowed to contribute once. Rosenberg said, "I don't want peoples money, I want their support and vote. Running for President shouldn't be about raising $300 million, it should be about meeting 300 million Americans."

Rosenberg said he is interested in tackling the big problems, the small problems and the problems in-between. He wants to help the middle class, the poor and the upper class. Rosenberg said, "This election is not about me, it's about a better future for America and the American people."

Rosenberg said his final decision will be made based on what he learns over the next several weeks as he travels the country "meeting people and talking to them about how they think and feel about this great country we call home."

Rosenberg spokesman Isidore Rappoport said that the potential presidential candidate will not travel to the first four states on the nomination calendar -- Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada or South Carolina -- before his announcement.

The Federal Election Commission could neither confirm nor deny that it received Rosenberg's paperwork. Forming an exploratory committee is an initial -- but not a required step -- in running for president or any federal office. Such committees allow potential candidates to begin quietly raising funds and "testing the waters" on whether they should run for office.

If Rosenberg runs, he will join an already crowded field of candidates who either have declared their intentions to seek the 2008 nomination or who are widely expected to run including Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Sen. John McCain, Former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, Sens. Joe Biden of Delaware, Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson.

According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll conducted on December 5-7, Rosenberg trailed only all candidates when registered Democrats and Republicans were asked who their top choice for the party's presidential nominee would be. When asked for comment Rosenberg said, "I don't believe in polls, I believe in the American people."

Gregg Rosenberg Announces Presidential Campaign Exploratory Committee

Rosenberg has unparalleled experience and proven record of success as an American Citizen

New York, NY—Gregg Rosenberg today announced the formation of a Presidential campaign exploratory committee, with the clear intention of seeking the nomination for President in 2008.

"One year from today, I will turn 35 and finally be eligible to serve as President of the United States. To prepare for this historic moment I am taking this step of establishing a Presidential campaign exploratory committee to let the American people know that hope is on the way. America deserves better and I know better," said Rosenberg.

"I am pro-America and am unencumbered by the baggage of partisan politics. I am pro education, pro healthcare, pro deficit reduction and pro the environment. I am pro winning the war in Iraq, Afghanistan, against Al-Qeda and drugs," declared Rosenberg. "I'm not just in it to win it, I'm in it to win it for the American people!"

In announcing his presidential campaign exploratory committee Rosenberg boldly proclaimed that he will NOT be accepting any financial campaign contributions. Rosenberg said, "I'm not interested in raising money, I'm interested in raising America's spirit. This campain isn't about fundraising, it's about raising fun for America."

Rosenberg's fiscally responsible governing style has allowed his family to tackle important priorities, while maintaining a balanced budget. His innovative policies have turned Apartment 4F's economy around, with new job opportunities, rising personal income and a growing high tech sector.

Growing up in New Jersey, Rosenberg was a member of the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. He played little league and youth soccer and was an active member his synagogue youth group.

Rosenberg served on the Cherry Hill High School West student council throughout his four years of high school. Prior to that he was Vice President of the Brainerd Junior High School where he led the school in the pledge of allegiance at his eight grade graduation.

Gregg Rosenberg has been married to his Upper West Side sweetheart, Shoshana, for two years. Rosenberg received a BA from Syracuse University in 1995 and a MA from New York University in 1998.

"I have decided to take this initial step of forming an exploratory committee in order to build the campaign organization required to pursue the highest office in our country," Rosenberg said.

The Gregg Rosenberg for President Exploratory Committee will be headquartered in New York.
