Williamson not your typical presidential candidate

BERLIN — Marianne Williamson is not your typical candidate for president. She has never held public office. Her speech is sprinkled with phases like political technocrat, righteous commerce, non-violent revolution and corporate aristocrats. She is a best-selling author and lectures on what she says are her spiritual convictions and political activism.

But Williamson argues the future of the country is too serious to be left in the hands of traditional politicians. She said public policy has allowed the transfer of wealth into the hands of a few and millions of Americans have been left without a lifeboat.
