Former Congressman Bill Sali said he does have something to file with the Secretary of State's office today, but it's not a candidacy filing, it's formation papers for a new nonprofit. Sali said it will be called "Preserving America's Legacy," and will distribute books, CDs and DVDs about the founding fathers to "anybody who wants to learn about the legacy of this country." He said his wife likely will take a major role in running the group; he's just getting it started and getting a board together.
