Write In Candidate for President, Betty Figueroa, May Be Our Best Option
My readers know the angst the upcoming presidential election brings me.
RFK hits the nail on the head when he defines the problems with our current system and options. But does he provide an option that is different? I think not.
My personal standard of living has decreased during Biden’s reign. Court corruption has increased and there is little meaningful enforcement for anti-corruption laws that are already in place. (The Trump verdicts are encouraging; but we need to bring criminal charges against judges who violate individuals’ rights and hide behind judicial immunity to evade civil liability.) Still I was thinking of voting for Biden because none of his appointed judges have hit my radar for court corruption yet.
There is a new candidate that is my probable choice now. Yes, it is a “wasted” vote, because the chance she will win approaches zero. She does say exactly what I want to hear. We have met in person a couple times and she strikes me as authentic. What you see is what you get when you see Betty Figueroa.
Here is her campaign statement that she wrote with the help of the AI application Goodparty.org.

Personal Credentials:
I’m Betty Figueroa, an Independent candidate for President of the United States. While I don’t have a conventional occupation, I am always helping people and taking on new challenges. I enjoy fishing, music, and learning new things.
Motivation for running:
Having never been rich or handed anything, I understand what it means to be overlooked, not heard, and walked over. I can relate to the everyday struggles of the people and believe our system needs fixing. My experience as an advocate for people’s rights has shown me the importance of transparency and accountability in government.
Government ethics and anti-corruption measures: I am committed to promoting transparency in government decision-making to ensure it serves everyone, not just those with an agenda.
Police Accountability: I advocate for mandatory body cameras for all officers as a part of their uniform. These cameras should protect everyone, and any officer who tampers with them should face immediate termination and charges.
Differentiating Factors: Standing Apart in the Race
We’ve been lied to enough by presidents who have no firsthand experience with poverty or struggle. It’s time for a leader who knows what needs to be done and has the drive to get it done. I’ve had people released from jail and fought tirelessly for others’ rights. I bring a unique perspective and a genuine commitment to making meaningful changes.
Bio
### About Me: Hello, I’m Betty Figueroa, and I’m running for President of the United States as an Independent, non-partisan candidate. My journey to this point has been deeply rooted in my commitment to addressing critical issues that impact everyday Americans. My primary focus lies on government ethics, anti-corruption measures, and police accountability.
**Government Ethics and Anti-Corruption Measures** Transparency in government decision-making is essential. It should serve everyone’s interests, not just those of a privileged few. We are supposed to have a say in everything, yet often, we’re expected to follow orders without any input, especially the less fortunate among us. If you’re wealthy, you might not see this disparity, but it’s a reality for many. It’s time for a change where everyone’s voice is heard, and our freedoms are preserved.
**Police Accountability** Police accountability is another cornerstone of my campaign. I firmly believe that mandatory body cameras should be a part of every police officer’s uniform. These cameras protect everyone—both civilians and officers. An officer should not have the ability to turn it off, cover it, or block it in any way. Any violation of this should result in immediate termination and legal consequences. This measure is crucial for building trust and ensuring justice.
**A Voice for the Struggling** Our country has been lied to enough by politicians who seek votes without understanding the struggles of ordinary people. Many of them have been handed everything on a silver platter and have no idea what it means to be broke or overlooked. I know what it’s like to struggle in everyday life because I have lived it. My career has been enriched by my skills and achievements, like advocating for people’s rights and having individuals released from jail. I can relate to the people, and I believe our system needs fixing by someone who understands these challenges firsthand.
**Personal Touch**
On a personal note, I am always eager to help people, and I enjoy fishing, music, and learning new things. I’m always up for a challenge, which reflects my personality and commitment to our community’s betterment. Together, let’s make a change. It’s that simple. Thank you for considering me, Betty Figueroa, for President of the United States.

What I Will Say About Myself
As a dedicated advocate for government ethics and anti-corruption measures, my priority is promoting transparency in government decision-making. The transparency in government decision making should help everyone, not just serve agendas that take more of our freedoms. We are supposed to have a say in everything. The current system expects us to do what we’re told without a say, especially the poor. If you’re rich, you most likely won’t see these issues.
Police Accountability is another key issue. I support mandatory body cameras for all officers as a mandatory part of the uniform to protect everyone. Officers should not be able to turn these off. Any officer who covers, turns off, or blocks the camera should be terminated immediately and charged.
Transparency, accountability, broken systems, poverty, and real struggle in our State are my focus areas. We have been lied to enough by presidents just for a vote. People who don’t know a thing about being broke and have been hand-fed with a silver spoon can’t relate to the real struggles. It’s time for a change, for someone who has first-hand knowledge of what needs to be done to take over and get it done. It’s that simple.
Leveraging my experience in various skills, I have never been rich and was not handed anything. I know what it is like to be overlooked, not heard, and walked over. I can relate to the people. I also believe that our system needs fixing. A person who knows first-hand what it’s like to struggle in everyday life is essential. I have had people released from jail and have been an advocate for people’s rights.
What I Will Say About My Opponent
Unlike Joe Biden and Donald Trump, my approach to government ethics and anti-corruption measures is grounded in promoting transparency in government decision-making. The current system’s transparency should help everyone, not just serve specific agendas that take more of our freedoms. We need to ensure everyone has a say, not just the wealthy.
On the issue of Police Accountability, I support mandatory body cameras as a mandatory part of the uniform to protect everyone. Officers should not be able to turn these off, and any officer who covers, turns off, or blocks the camera should be terminated immediately and charged. This ensures transparency and accountability, which are lacking in the current system.
Joe Biden and Donald Trump’s approaches are often rooted in traditional politics, which have failed to address these critical issues effectively. My hands-on experience in dealing with real struggles ensures practical and realistic solutions for our community.
What My Opponent Will Say About Me
Joe Biden and Donald Trump may argue that my unconventional background and approach do not align with traditional political strategies. They might claim that my lack of a longstanding political career is a disadvantage. However, I believe that innovative solutions are what our community needs. My experience in advocating for people’s rights, having people released from jail, and understanding the struggles of everyday life make me uniquely qualified to bring about the change we need.
What My Opponent Will Say About Themselves
Joe Biden and Donald Trump will likely emphasize their longstanding political careers, positioning themselves as traditional choices for President of the United States. They will highlight their experience in handling national and international issues, portraying themselves as seasoned leaders capable of maintaining stability and continuity. However, it’s time for a change, for someone who has a fresh perspective and a deep understanding of the real struggles faced by ordinary people.
About the Candidate and Race
In this exciting race for President of the United States, Betty Figueroa’s unique background as an advocate for people’s rights and her personal flair, shown in her passion for helping people, fishing, music, and learning new things, stand against the campaigns of Joe Biden and Donald Trump. The election on November 11, 2024, will be a pivotal moment for our nation, offering a choice between traditional political approaches and a fresh perspective grounded in real-life experience and practical solutions.
***********************
If you don’t see any option for real change, consider writing in “Betty Figueroa” for president.
Do I really think Betty Figueroa is the best person in this country for the position? NO! This is parody. I thought it was a joke also when I heard Donald Trump was running.
First I have to get the 5000 signatures to get on ballot and I may not win but I’m wanting a chance to try at least.

This is what ChatGPT had to say about being a write-in candidate.
In Arkansas, there are specific requirements for write-in candidates to have their votes counted in elections, including presidential elections. Here’s a breakdown of those requirements:
These requirements ensure that the process of voting for a write-in candidate is orderly and that only serious candidates who have met the filing requirements are considered. For the most current and detailed information, it’s always a good idea to check with the Arkansas Secretary of State’s office or their official website, as election laws and deadlines can change.
