Michael Byron Nelson, June 4, 1967 (Hennepin County, Minn.) -
VP candidate for Joint Party (aka Unaffiliated) (2016)
Running mate with nominee: Brian Anthony Perry (b. 1971)
Popular vote: 4 (0.00%)
Electoral vote: 0/538
The campaign:
Mr. Brian Anthony Perry of Round Rock, Tex. filed with the FEC on Mar. 19, 2016 under the auspices of the Joint Party. As for the name of his party, Perry posted "My party isn't the Joint Party because I favor the legalization of Marijuana & hemp. It because it shouldn't be about democrats or republicans it should be about the American People and what's best for US. We should be united joined together!! #VoteForUS #99isBIGGERthan1 #ImpossibleImPossible."
Perry supplied a brief autobiography on his Youtube account--
#Iam a Presidential 2 Form Filer. I'm Running for POTUS 🇺🇸! I have walked all walks of life except gone to War. Aug. 12, 2013 I set out to #DreamChaser #GoalGetter and be homeless to make my feature #TwitterpatedMovie I documented everything via Social Media and filmed a short "@AmosntGhan" to show light on what my film would be like. During this all. I was Blessed by So Many People from ALL across Our Great Country. I know The World isn't as bad as The World wants us to think it is. I believe in you all!! However... I do believe there are evil seeds that keep us from evolving. #99isBIGGERthan1. Its time WE Evolve #rEvolution and #VoteForUS!! I am One of Y'all! How many of our current politicians who dictate how we live, where our money is spent? or even know what Student Debt feels like? Real Change doesnt come from following the same routine. Voting for the same Politicians shown in the media. This next Election #VotePerry2020 and give Our Country back to The People. #GodBlessTheUS
On Sept. 1, 2016 Perry added one of his more detailed Facebook political posts--
I would legalize marijuana & hemp. Get the federal reserve out of commission. We are designed to stay in debt forever... ever dollar we have there is interest on it. A bailout isn't a bailout. We owe that plush interest. The federal reserve is not a federal entity.
Granted I'll be killed or slandered until ruined.... but I would shut down the federal reserve. Create our own currency and back it with marijuana and hemp.
You wanna stop terrorism? Cut it at the balls!! Make their dollar worthless. The terrorist we see were funded. You don't just come up and have funds for guns explosives all the radio equipment vehicles... there is some rich white elite funding them...
If you own more then half the Worlds wealth and you can't make the World better. Your killing it.
The real terrorist are:
Rothschild (Bauer or Bower)
Bruce
Cavendish (Kennedy)
De Medici
Hanover
Hapsburg
Krupp
Plantagenet
Rockefeller
Romanov
Sinclair (St. Clair)
Warburg (del Banco)
Windsor (Saxe-Coburg-Gothe)
80% ownership of the New York Federal Reserve Bank- by far the most powerful Fed branch- by just eight families, four of which reside in the US.
They are the Goldman Sachs, Rockefellers, Lehmans and Kuhn Loebs of New York; the Rothschilds of Paris and London; the Warburgs of Hamburg; the Lazards of Paris; and the Israel Moses Seifs of Rome.
Clinton & Trump are the employees to make us feel like we have say. All our presidents say im gonna change things and don't. There are powerful people say ok this is how it works... if not we lie ruin your life or just kill you.
You want a #politicalrevolution #VoteForUS #Vote3rdWing #IamYou #JointPartyPerry #99IsBIGGERthan1 See Less
At least one Colorado media outlet covered Perry's campaign. Described as a filmmaker and "homeless hitchhiker," Perry told a reporter his motto was, "I speak the truth and smoke weed." He added, "Hey, I'm homeless. I've struggled. I've walked all walks of life except gone to war ... I suggest we create our own currency, back it through marijuana and gold and other resources."
Perry's short film @AmosntGhan was released in the 2016 election year under the name Perry B. Anthony. Two of the listed producers were Colorado residents Mike Nelson and his wife Krista Psykome Silvers Nelson. Mike Nelson would become Perry's running-mate.
Registered as write-ins only in Colorado, the Perry/Nelson ticket gained 4 votes.
Nelson shared his day-after-the-election point of view on Facebook--
Ok people, enough is enough. I'm sick and tired of all the election crap. It was all the ads, but now all the whining sore losers. The people have spoken now suck up and shut up. It's done and over. If you don't like it, I hear Canada is ready to take you in. Yes the country is doomed. But to be fair, we would be doomed with Clinton as President to. It's too bad no one can see it. You are all stuck in party line politics that you can't see it.
I will never vote for a Democrat nor a Republican, and I haven't in the last many elections. All they do is lie, steal, cheat, and tell you what they want you to hear and what they think, is best for you. They carry on and bully members of their own party. This is unacceptable. It is an embarrassment to everyone and our country.
Are these the people you really want to represent us? To represent the greatest country on the planet? Wake up people. There are so many more than the lesser of two evils. There were 16 candidates on the ballot to choose from. Any of them would have been a better choice. You might think it's a wasted vote, but voting for someone blindly is a wasted vote. Until everyone wakes up, we will have to accept things as they are. Like it or not. Now quit your complaining and boasting. I'm done with it. Suck it up. I am. You put us in this position.
In 2017 a dog named Rorschach led to a split between the Joint Party candidates. Perry explained his side in a petition--
December 13, 2015 I got a puppy I named Rorschach after the ink blot test. I have traveled with him and documented our journeys' for I'm making a feature film of a hitchhiker. I have all kinds of medical bills, pictures, and even gave my pup his own fan page. Rorschach was stolen from me 9/10/17 by Krista Psykome Silvers-Nelson and Mike Nelson.
Krista and Mike offered to Bless Rorschach and I after his injury and housed us up. So Rorschach wouldn't have to limp with his cast and cone of shame. I thought we were friends, after all we went missing in January and Krista made a Missing Persons Flyer that she wrote "He travels with his dog a blk & wht pointer."
When this happened they took Rorschach's Chip Number and put it in their name and email. I didn't know that. So when I called the cops they read his chip and it went to the Nelsons. So I fixed the information and put it under my name at found.com showed Castle Rock PD all the Emails of medical bills, pictures, and screenshots. I thought I'd get him back home for sure.
So Krista and Mike saw that and went and put Rorschach's chip number and registered him on another site under their information and filed a protection order against me where I can't be with in 100 yards of my pup. They offered to help me and I now know they only wanted to steal my baby from me.
I have walked all over this town from The Court House to the Cop Shop a couple times. I went and talked to all kinds of Deputies and after yesterdays conversation with an officer on the phone because he said he wouldn't send anyone because "I should of been working on this four days ago!" That's all I've been doing is working on this is. Well besides crying an awful lot. Please I have thousands of friends and followers who have witnessed Rorschach grow with me. He's no ones property he is my baby. I have Medical bills from 3 different vets from Texas to Colorado.
Rorschach is my pup and they are blatantly trying real hard to steal their homeless hitchhiking filmmaker's Puppy.
I was also a Legal Presidential Write-In for The State of Colorado and Mike Nelson was my Vice President Running mate. He will NOT be part of my 2020 Bid I can't trust these people.
They STOLE My Pup and I just want him back so bad!!! I didn't Abandon him. You offered to help me so I can use the Denver Library Idea Lab to edit my Short Film "@AmosntGhan" which they have an associate Producer credit which they asked for for blessing Rorschach and I. As well as go to doctors offices so I can get my Elbow fixed without having to worry about Rorschach not being able to go in these establishments with me.
They offered to help not steal my Pup from me Please Give Him Back and I'd like to press charges because after i fixed Rorschach's chip they went to register him on another site obviously they are trying real hard to steal Rorschach from me I want to press charges! i need my Dog... I'm totally not the same and I'm lost with him!! Please give me my pup back. I'm a forgiving spirit but only if I can get my baby back!
