In a press release issued by her campaign, Brown not only challenges Republicans, but also fellow Democrats, saying the country faces "abominable unemployment, dire budget problems, an imminent threat of war, and a clinically insane president."

A full copy of Brown's press release is below:

Sometimes you've got to get to the point.  I'm going to tell you the truth, keep it short, and propose what needs to be done.  Right now our nation is in a deep crisis with   We've committed our nation to support a hyperinflationary bailout which doesn't work and is not only preventing a real change from occurring, but is actually driving the world's economies into disintegration.  Our president is a representative of foreign interests, namely the British empire, and he must be removed by impeachment or the 25th amendment.  These are the conditions which I warned about and acted upon in my last campaign against Barney Frank.  I invite all citizens to join with me now.

To save our economy we must restore Glass-Steagall and return to a Hamiltonian credit system. Glass-Steagall, as I fought for in my last campaign, wipes the gambling debt off of the books of our federal government, while the credit system directs federally-issued credit to productive areas of the economy, driving the entire economy to a higher level of energy-throughput.  Since the Massachusetts' Bay Colony's Pine Tree shilling, since Hamilton's shaping of the Constitution and establishment of the First National Bank, and since Lincoln's greenback policy, our nation has recognized that subservience to a private financial power undermines our development and the interest of our people.  True values lies in human creativity and our contribution to the future.

There are projects ready to go now which will drive our economy in this process:  NAWAPA, a large-scale water project which will drive scientific research in the Arctic relating to the Earth-galaxy relationship, and a Moon/Mars colonization project, driven by fusion propulsion.  These projects will restore productive physical employment and an optimistic sense of identity for our people, as well as advance mankind to a higher platform of understanding and technology, placing more of the universe at our fingertips.  Our planet is entering a region of the galaxy which puts us at risk of high amounts of cosmic radiation and consequent changes on earth, we need to prepare for that now. 

Support my fight, along with that of the entire national slate of LaRouche candidates.  The way out of this mess is not to ignore it- there is an active attempt by the British empire to launch WWIII against Russia and China who could be our partners in developing the planet and beyond- thus, Obama must be removed now.  We are not going to give up, and you shouldn't either. We can restore these great principles of our nation, and unleash a new Renaissance for mankind!
