The Walken Platform
These are the issues that need solutions now, and Christopher Walken is not afraid to address them. He wants his supporters and opponents to know that he is clear in his ideals and will fight to lead America to a better place.
Campaign Finance Reform:
"I believe that campaign finance is a very tough issue, with good points on both sides; but I feel, as a wealthy american, that I should have no more say than even the least fortunate American citizen. That is why I am for campaign finance reform."
Military Funding:
"I am a huge supporter of the military. I have always thought of them as our guardians, and when our guardians are making less than the poverty line, and children are suffering because their parents decided to join the military, well, I get very upset. I feel that instead of sending billions to the Pentagon's pet projects, it should go to the troops."
Stem Cell Research:
"I'd met Chris Reeve several times before he died, and after having met him it is tough to be against it [stem cell research]. I am for human knowledge and expansion of human life. If stem cells are one way to do that, I need to be a good friend of stem cells."
We appreciate the great response you've sent us, interested in more information about Christopher Walken's policies and platform. Please have patience as he puts his ideas into words, and as soon as they're available, we'll put them here. Thank you for your support.
The Bob and Tom show.
THE Chris Walken???????????????????????????????????
ok, even if this is real, and even though he'd be better than 'Er 'Einous...
JUST DAMN!
actually... that would make an interesting ticket.
He went from serving a "glass of cham-pahg-neah" to running a "political cam-pahg-neah"
I swear, I can't for the life of me tell if this is a joke or not:

The link sent me to someplace that looked like a GREENIE rant.
Okay, I just read the article and I think that this is a hoax, something from a movie he's in, or someone's idea of a prank. This isn't for real.

Actor Christopher Walken to run as Candidate in 2008 Presidential Race
For Immediate Release
New York - Early today, actor Christopher Walken, 62, held a private conference at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York in which he announced his intentions to run for the Presidency of the United States in the 2008 Election.
Said the Queens native, “I have always been a follower of politics. My father was friends with the mayor of Schodack (NY) back in the 1940’s. We would walk the streets of Schodack and the people, they would wave to him. The children adored him. That is what I love to be, a man of respect and love.”
From a statement by Walken's agent, Toni Howard: “Mr. Walken has greatly admired the celebrities who have entered politics and he wants to be able to give a good name and reputation to the acting community as well as the political community. As for going national with this news we have not made any plans for the immediate future."
Because Mr. Walken is currently contracted for more than one film production, the Walken campaign manager Michael Hansee admitted that there would be relatively minimal publicity at this early stage. "[Mr. Walken] has a full plate right now, acting in a number of different films, and can't start any personal campaign work until these obligations are fulfilled," he commented. "We're looking to spread the word and build a little support base with our website, in preparation for a full campaign in early 2007."
The campaign website is patriotic-themed, with the tag-line "To Get America Back on Track." Hansee stated that the campaign is hoping to drum up early support through their online presence, much like Howard Dean did in the 2004 race.

this is a puzzlement.
I shall await further developments before even thinking about forming an opinion on this
the link sends me here:
And yet, I know that I had read/heard that he supposedly is a Conservative Republican.
My beeber is as stuned as yours is. :-(
if anyone had ever wanted to witness KingProut's poor widdle head suffer catastrophic meltdown, now's the time.
If this is true, then WHY wasn't it on the radio and T.V. news?
I listen to WABC, 770 most of the day and into part of the evening and so, I gear the N.Y.C. news, weather and traffic. Nada, zip, ziltch, bupkiss..................
Poor baby, don't fret....
I have a wav from a movie, one of his first few, called 'The Anderson Tapes". He says, 'America man, you know it's so beautiful I wanna eat it' One of my faves.
my cable is out for some damned reason, so I cannot hop on FNC to check it out.
need to Snopes this, as well as check FoxNews.com
And her husband thought that Natalie was having an affair with Waulken and hated his guts.
snopes has nothing on it
I had FNC on from most of the night; as usual. Not a word about this tonight, nor on any night this past week.
I don't remember much about her death, just the announcement that it had happened.
