In 2008 he ran, unsuccessfully as an Independent candidate for Senator. In fact, it seems that he has a long list of offices that he has unsuccessfully run for (also check here and here).
In fact, it's confusing exactly what Rex is running for, his website says he's running for governor, but he also evidently announced that he is running against Rep. Mike Simpson for the 2nd District seat in the US House of Representatives.
Mr. Rammell is also an author. Here is a long quote from the beginning of the book, A Nation Divided: The War for America's Soul...
In the beginning there were socialists and capitalists. The socialists said “let us force our neighbors to be charitable that all mankind may be equal.” The capitalists said “let us give our neighbors freedom that they may choose to be charitable for charity freely given is true charity.” But the socialists disagreed that man could ever rise to be charitable; he must be forced. The capitalists disagreed. And henceforth the war for freedom began.
And men made themselves kings and rulers. And despotism and tyranny abounded. And man lost his freedom. And the capitalists fought back as blood covered the earth. And the great Father who sits on his throne in the heavens watched and wept as man fought for his freedom. But man was not worthy of freedom. And more blood covered the earth. Then a righteous people arose and the Father said it is time for man to be free. And the people fought against the King and the Father sent his angels. And the people won their freedom. And the people knew they must bind the ambitions of men. So they assembled their wisest and counseled together and asked the Father to help them create a Constitution. But men’s thirst for power continued. And the Constitution was argued and its meaning distorted. And men began again to lose their freedom…
You can't make this stuff up... 'And despotism and tyranny abounded. An man lost his freedom. And the capitalists fought back as blood covered the earth...' I must of missed that day in US history (or maybe world history, not sure). Then he introduces us to his war against Satan...
…And the capitalists fought back for their freedom and vowed to save the Constitution. And God was on their side. And the armies of socialism led by Satan began to fear. And good men and women rallied to the cause. And the Constitution’s original meaning was accepted. And America reset her course. And she returned to her glory. And freedom and happiness were once again found in America!
That said, the guy does seem to have a pretty good sense of humor.
The interesting thing is how organized these folks are. He's seems to be somehow affiliated with the Freedom21 Conference (it's a right-wing conspiracy-minded show-and-tell in Oklahoma City of all places--coincidence? I think not), and a whole host of other extremist organizations. Just five minutes on Google and the layers of this are truly astounding.
Got the book quotes here.
