We realize that Aleister Crowley is dead. And British. And, moreover, not running for office. Nevertheless, we believe that the most effective vote you can cast in 2012 is one for Aleister Crowley.

No political party can get a candidate in the running unless he or she is bought and paid for by multinational corporations. No political party can win without corporate support, and therefore no serious candidate prioritizes the liberty of the individual.

“The absolute rule of the state shall be a function of the absolute liberty of each individual will.”

Considering staying home and not voting? You’ll be in the vast, silent, ignored majority. Until now, the only other way for voters to express their dissatisfaction was to vote for Mickey Mouse. We applaud this effort, but Mickey Mouse is a meaningless choice which does not do more than express dissatisfaction — voting for Mickey fails to send a positive message about what Americans truly want: Liberty.

If 1% of voters write in “Aleister Crowley,” then his message of Liberty will be heard around the world, as amazed media report a groundswell of support for someone they thought was not only dead and British, but still the wickedest man in the world.
