February 12, 2007 – West Palm Beach, Fl – Today 2008 Independent Presidential Candidate, Daniel Imperato, spoke out on the recent stock options scandal of President George W. Bush's uncle William H.T. Bush. 

"I hope the American people can see that, unconditionally, I understand what is going on in this country.  I have traveled around the world and the knowledge that I have gained from doing so is second to none," stated Imperato.

As early as August of 2006 (See "Leading Independent Presidential Candidate Imperato Addresses Englanders Concerns…" August 31, 2006)

"It saddens me to see that, because I am running as an independent, my views are not given the same credence as the Democrats and the Republicans.  Both the Democrats and Republicans have brushed this issue under the rug.  Now it is time to reveal all of the parties that have benefited from the war in Iraq and all of the parties who have profited illegally from insider knowledge in the stock market," said Imperato.

Imperato pointed to Bush cronyism and potential stock manipulation multiple times including during a September 2006 press release where he stated, "I ask the American people, has anyone checked the futures contracts? Have the regulatory bodies that are responsible for policing the stock market investigated persons within the U.S. government that may have purchased futures contracts, especially those individuals who may have been privy to this administration's meetings pertaining to the Iraq war?"

Imperato worried that the uncovering of the William Bush scandal may only be the beginning of the Bush administration's web of profit taking.

"There have been billions of dollars made off of this Iraq war.  To think that only $6million was illegally misappropriated is to be foolish.  There are many friends and family of the administration who have profited and now all of those persons must be brought into the light and brought to justice."

Imperato concluded his statement with the following, "we need an end to this type of manipulation and corruption in this country.  It has been going on with Democrats and Republicans for over a hundred years.  It is time that we had an independent in the White House, an independent who does not have to bow to the wishes of special interests and big business.   We need someone who is knowledgeable about this country.  I believe that I am that person and I ask the American people for their vote and most importantly, their support."
