The ID card is on the original print with number one as the chairman of the union in 1992. Mega unique !!!! In 1992 Lepper formed his own political party, an organization of economically struggling farmers like himself, naming it "Self defense" (SO). Lepper organized anti-government demonstrations and other actions, most significantly against the politics of Suchocka and Buzek governments, both characterized by growing social and socio-economic injustice, especially experienced by the Polish countryside.As a party leader, he challenged Aleksander Kwaśniewski in the 1995 presidential election (1.3% votes). In the 2000, SO organized campaigns of blocking major roads to bring the public opinion and mass media attention to the growing impoverishment of the Polish agriculture.

Many SO voters live in small towns and villages with high unemployment rates, and therefore believe that they have lost out in the transition to the free market economy after 1989. However, Lepper was often criticized for not acknowledging the economic growth Poland has experienced since then .Using strongly populist messages and committing acts of civil disobedience, he managed to gain nationwide publicity and a strong following in the countryside, where he was regarded as a common man. He also protested against the selling of Polish land to foreigners. Lepper and SO opposed Poland joining the European Union, but stopped short of running a fully fledged "no" campaign, on account of the popular predisposition of the Polish population towards EU membership.Lepper's anti-EU stance was based in part on nationalism, but also on the presumed detrimental economic effect that accession would have on Polish agriculture. Lepper remaining a Eurosceptic, but later toned down his position since. During his tenure as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Agriculture, Lepper worked hard for Polish agriculture within the European structures and on his departure was described by Union officials as "pragmatic" and "professional".Andrzej Lepper was one of the few high-profile politicians that consistently opposed Poland's involvement in American global military operations. He was involved in promoting close relations with the country's eastern neighbors - Ukraine, Russia and Belarus.Some of his many famous quotes are that "It is impossible to rape a prostitute", or "I see myself as a positive dictator"Lepper was found dead in his Warsaw office on 5 August 2011.
