just get your name on the ballot

     Don't like the current state of American politics? You could run for office yourself, if you don't have other gainful employment. You have to be 25 years old to serve in the House of Representatives, 30 to serve in the U.S. Senate, and 35 to run for president. You must be a citizen of the United States--born a citizen if you want to be president. Just circulate a petition and get your name on the ballot. You can start your own political party if the two major parties don't appeal to you. That's how it's done.
