Thomas Menier was the only participant of tonight’s (July 9) independent presidential candidate’s forum sponsored by Democracy Unplugged and held at Swarthmore Borough Hall.
Menier drove up from Cape Coral, Fla. to participate.
He described himself as a Vietnam veteran who served many years overseas as a contractor for the Army Corps of Engineers including 18 months in Afghanistan.
“I met some wonderful people in the Middle East,” he said. “I met some pretty radical people in the Middle East.”
He said he was motivated to run for the nation’s highest office by the decline in the American economy.
“The truth is when you fall off unemployment, you are not counted anymore,” he said.
He said one friend has not had a full time job in seven years and is scraping to support a family doing part-time work.
He blames both parties for the problem and was especially critical of the recent trade treaty. He claimed that Walmart was able to see details that were kept from legislators.
He said he knows that weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq, and expressed a fear that many not found or destroyed could be smuggled into the United States.

The event, Declaration of Independents 2015, was moderated by Owen Powell.
While Morrison Bonpasse was unable to attend he left a flyer describing his platform which included stopping and correcting wrongful convictions in the United States; zero population growth and a single global currency.
Thomas Menier Explains Candidacy
Thomas Menier will get my vote.
I was going to cast my ballot for Hillary, but Mr. Menier outclasses even her.
By the way what ever happened to Vince Foster?
HONEY Badger, Thank you!!!! As you know I have a long hard road to get on the ballot but trust that I will get there. Once there I will follow through with all I promised and will listen to we the people.
I am running for President this 2016 election, and I am aiming to knock out my competition with my best efforts as soon as I can, and before its too late, my famous words.
No one invited me, it would have been great to speak in this forum. Don’t forget to invite me the next time you do this; and I will make every effort to attend.
In addition, I like the gentleman that attended, he is correct on all counts he spoke to.

Edie, you should have been invited. I’m surprised that you were not.
I would hope to hear your views on all pertinent subjects. Please try again.
Dear Edie, have you ever checked into the mysterious death of Vince Foster? There are those who think some foul play may have been involved.
