Ben Carson quickly became a tea party favorite following his criticism of some of President Barack Obama’s policies during a National Prayer Breakfast speech earlier this year. Some conservatives even called on him to run for president.

Now the retired neurosurgeon and Medal of Freedom winner has a new super PAC urging him to do just that.

The “National Draft Ben Carson for President Committee” recently registered with the Federal Election Commission and launched a website to go along with its formation — RunBenRun.org.

The site lists “9 things you can do today to help us draft Ben Carson for president” including praying, signing a petition and, of course, donating.
