559 people are running for President in 2016

So far 559 people have filed papers with the Federal Election Commission to run for the highest office in the land. The list continues to grow. Many people are astonished to hear that there are hundreds of people campaigning and raising money. You will never hear about most of these people because they are no names. They walk into newspaper offices after filing with the Federal Election Commission and hear laughter. Whenever they try to get news coverage, they are denied. All they have are the papers that prove they are counted in the list of candidates.
