Mullins, a 50-year-old Bulls Gap resident, has registered as a Democratic Presidential candidate for the 2008 election.
"I'm trying to get signatures and get any campaign donations I can," Mullins said. "I'm a disabled American vet running on my leftover income, which don't leave much left over."
“We can end this war if we get the surrounding countries together in a summit and resolve this war and bring our boys home,” he said.
Mullins asks why citizens should vote for presidential candidates who have been ineffective in their roles in congress. “We spent the last six years with these senators and congressmen with nothing being done. None of them have accomplished anything.”
A high school drop out for ten years, Mullins later obtained his G.E.D. now holds two college degrees, an Associate's Degree in Mining Technology and a Bachelor's Degree in Mining Engineering.
“This No Child Left Behind policy isn’t working,” Mullins said. “Children are being passed who can't pass exams and can’t do math.”
“We need to get back to basics. We need to stop selling our country out to big business. How many vehicles are actually made in America? There's not much being made in America anymore. We sold our country out to China, Japan and Taiwan,” Mullins said.
"I'm just an average American citizen. I'm tired of politicians who haven't done anything for six years but squabble," he said. "They should help American people instead of worrying about lining their pockets."
