The BBC wants *you* to write the race for them

Pretty much literally what they ask...
We're looking for Americans to help answer that question, from New Hampshire and all the states taking part in 'Super Duper Tuesday'.
This is your chance to write for the BBC with your views.
Tell us why this election matters to you, who you'll be voting for, what you think of the other candidates and which issues you care about the most.
What should the next president's priorities be?
If you'd like to participate, write to us using the form below. Tell us a bit about yourself and why you would like to be involved.

I can barely contain my evil chuckles as I hear the stampede gather pace...muahahahah!

Here's my response.
I'm a veteran that served in the US Army. I was stationed in Germany during the late 80's and also was involved during the first Gulf War. I utilized my GI benefits to get a college degree. Coming from a poor middle class divorced family I would have not had the chance otherwise.
I have considered myself a Republican my entire life but did vote for Ross Perot in 92' and 96'. I have become disenchanted with the Republican party since George Bush (I voted for him in 2000 and 2004), with a Republican Congress was elected in 2000. This represented a huge opportunity for change. Yet, nothing happened to change the course of our government towards the Republican principles.
I believe I represent the feelings of most Americans.
I'm supporting Ron Paul. The US Government no longer represents the people in my opinion. It has deviated so far from the Constitution that it is almost meaningless. The Constitution represents a contract between the government and the people and it is time we renew that contract for the good of all people, in the US and the rest of the World.
Multi-National Corporations have unduely influenced our nation and it's policies. Thus the government responds to, in effect, bribery and corruption, much more than the will of the people. This cascades into many of the issues...the War in Iraq, the War on Terrorism, the War on Drugs, Immigration, Trade, Taxes, Individual Rights, the Economy.
It's time for a big change! With Ron Paul and his message, we can become a great nation again. An example to the rest of the World and a good neighbor in the international community.

Who is Ron Paul? I am Ron Paul! We are Ron Paul!

Here's my comment to them
Hello, I am on active duty in the U.S. Air Force. I have been a registered Republican since I was of age to vote, and I've lately become disgruntled with the Republican party.
The U.S. has neither the right nor the means to continue being the world's policeman. We endeared ourselves to few in the world during the Bush years, and we're running out of money doing it. Today, more U.S. dollars belong to foreign nations than belong to the American people.
That's why my vote is for Ron Paul, and my prediction is that he will do much better than anyone in the media predicts. He is attracting more first-time voters, young people, and disgruntled Republicans (like myself) than any other candidate. He's even attracting some liberal Democrats, and scores of libertarians. Did you know that Ron Paul has raised more money from military members and veterans than any other candidate from either party? Did you know that he recently raised over $6 million in one day, an all time record in political fundraising?
It's time for a change, America, and there's only one person who brings hope to this campaign and this country -- his name is Ron Paul.

Damn it seems
everyone is the world will know who Ron Paul is except Americans.
Well, maybe maybe we will have to import British news about Ron Paul since American news media are so inept.

He's like Hendrix
Dr. Paul had to gain fame worldwide, before I noticed him.
A few months ago, I was looking at worldwide polls.
Dozens of countries were listed and I wondered who this guy Ron Paul was who was winning in almost every single country.
Didn't take more than one or two videos to zombify me.
