I’ve been looking into 3rd party candidates and came across Roque De La Fuente and would like to know what additional information that people have about him. [The Voter's Self Defense System - Vote Smart](http://votesmart.org/candidate/political-courage-test/165906/rocky-de-la-fuente/#.WBVYC_krJPZ) is where I got my initial information but getting anything concrete may be beyond my Google Fu.

Thanks in advance for any information.

While there are a lot of citations there are very few about the details of his Presidential campaign. The article that is supposed to list why he was nominated is a bad link. Thanks for the link though.
