To kick off his campaign, Brock has recorded "Put A Redneck In The White House," his first single in more than four years, which will hit radio this week.  The anthem is the basis for Brock's campaign, which touts the slogan: A Common Man for the Common Man. "People think rednecks are folks who drive big trucks, drink beer and hunt all day long," Brock explained. "But that's not rednecks. You have rednecks in every state in this wonderful country—they get up every morning, and they go to work in factories or on farms or at desks, and they struggle every day to make ends meet. They're paying four dollars a gallon for gas, and trying to keep food on the table for their families. They're having a hard time, and I think they're ready for a redneck in the Oval Office." Brock hopes he can begin a grassroots candidacy, and although he knows his chances of becoming the leader of the free world are slim, he hopes speaking out will bring some positive change. "Even if I don't get elected, my hopes are that this campaign will inspire voters to look behind the candidates' images and rhetoric for their real message."
