Meet Mike Beitiks, the only candidate that is brave enough to say, "We are all going to die!"
From his campaign site:
ISIS. Obamacare. Russia. The NSA. Wealth disparity. Immigration reform. Gun control.
What do all of these hot issues for the 2016 election have in common?
None of them matter because were all going to die.
Every forecast on Climate Change predicts severe consequences without dramatic measures. And yet, Federal legislators do essentially nothing.
In light of this, I offer myself as a candidate for U.S. Senate.
If elected, I vow to address Global Warming like a human being with basic reasoning and any sense of proportion.
In other words, a dramatic measure.
Please vote for me. If for no other reason, then at least so we dont all die.

And an article on him where he admits:
I dont expect to win the election. I would love toI would be more than happy to carry out as many of campaign promises as I can before they kick me out or I get assassinated. But my hope is to remind people who are ultimately going to be having this debate that there are people who feel as strongly about something as they do.
