The campaign:
Samuel L. Hurt, aka Levi Chevarim Hurt, was a Pittsburgh-based associate rabbi for the Church of God and Saints of Christ, a religion categorized as belonging to the Black Hebrew Israelites.
Hurt developed a pattern, starting with his 2012 Presidential campaign and after, of thinking out loud when it came to running-mates and trying different combinations before settling on a choice. Using social media as his main method of campaigning, tracking his tickets can be challenging. For 2016, he selected former California Governor Schwarzenegger a day before the election.
Hurt registered with the FEC for President as a write-in on Aug. 21, 2015 but he had been running as early as Mar. 2015.
He introduced himself on his campaign webpage--
Democratic Presidential Write-In Candidate for 2016 Election

Giving thanks to G_D for all He has done for us, and allowing me to rise to this occasion! It is with a humble heart, that I offer the following platform, asking your support in the 2016, November, General Presidential Election!
I am a Independent Progressive Democratic candidate for the office of President of the United States, and, I’m asking for your help and vote! As our current President, continues on frontiers, bringing Democracy; a democracy made to preserve human life and relief from oppression, while giving humanitarian aid in the Middle East, that a greater need has been manifested by the hardship of war and a fallen economy!! Imposing hardship on common citizens through a failed Stimulus Plan bailing out Banks and Corporations, three wars and threat of future wars; imposing more hardship on America, that I humbly ask you my for the Presidency of the United States of America; leading America on the course to greater prosperity through the acceptance of G_D's Commandments, guided by a New Revised, United States Global Constitution!
Just to let you know a little about myself. I am the eldest son of the late Samuel L. Hurt and Mary Boekhoudt Hurt. I' m married thirty six years to my wonderful wife Julinda; the mother of our children Sojah, Rachel, Samuel Levi lll, and Joshua Caleb! I' am fifth generation, descendant of Hebrew slaves; and third generation, descendant of Hebrew/ Caribbean and Eastern European Jew. I' m a Hebrew/Dutch American who embraces Judaism as a Way of Life', a follower adherent to the Prophets of Old, as recorded; in the Hebrew Scriptures of the Old Testament! I was born and raised in Cumberland, Md! After graduating from high school, I volunteered to serve four years in the United States Navy! After discharge, I worked in the Naval Shipyard, as a rigger, while attending Norfolk State University. Later moving back home to Cumberland, Md; I enrolled at Frostburg State College studying political Science; transferring all credits to Point Park University in Pittsburgh, PA, acquiring a degree in Business Administration.
A thirty six year resident, residing in the City of Pittsburgh, PA; I am an Associate Rabbi, a member of Temple Beth El (Church of G_D and Saints of Christ)! I' am Co Founder and Chairman of the Perry Central Neighborhood Council, Inc., Founder and Chairman of The Contractors Minority Participation Coalition, Inc., and past board and general member of the Perry Hill Top Citizens Council, Inc., a former Parent Student Advisor for the Pittsburgh' Board of Education!
Having worked diligently bringing reform and development in my community and City of Pittsburgh, fostering: economic and educational development opportunities to disadvantaged individuals, bringing needed services to my community, and challenging how funding was not distributed in a fair and equitable manner; Then and certainly now, at the national level, relief is needed to reform and restructure government, bringing political change, to a uneven and unfair system of distribution of the nations wealth! Redirecting resources and services for the needs of common people, no longer serving the special interests!
To long, the rich, corporations, authorities, and individuals, have lobbied Congress for laws that protect big business at the peoples expense. No longer can a nation expect to remain sovereign while exploiting its masses, and protecting and ensuring imposed rights of oppression of laws of suppression! All being done while claiming to be a democracy!
Real change is taking place everyday. We see it in the climate, the environment, our economy, the world economy, nations uprising, and wars; while the rich continue to get richer, and the poor increases in numbers! Something is fundamentally wrong, yet proclaiming that we are a Nation under G_D!
If you, want a better life for yourselves, your children, a good life free of oppressive acts of government perpetuated by corrupt politicians who put their corporate interests above the people's interest:
Once elected, my first order of business will be to convene Congress; Amending the United States Constitution to address present day and future concerns. I believe it was all right then, but, does not reflect or address future changes that has taken place in the Twenty First Century!

My fellow Americans, Writing or Typing In: Samuel L Hurt, in 2016, will be a victory for the poor and middle class in America! As your candidate, I have not taken any money from any individual, special interest groups, or corporations! I will not sell myself to them owing them anything! My allegiance is with you! As Hillary Clinton campaigns for the Democratic nomination, should she win, her name will be on the ballot! The system throughout the years has benefitted the candidates who has the most money. Consider this scenario, a candidate winning by a Write or Type In vote. The power of the Write In; for a candidate guided by the spirit of G_D, someone whom He has raised up from among us, having your interests at heart! A candidate truly for the poor and middle class people of America! Don't allow yourselves to be taken by the hype of the media; publicizing polls, supposedly, with fake numbers saying that Democrats are supporting Hillary or the Nominee of the party in large percentages! In 2016, should you vote for me, you will see the power of G_D manifested in me! I ask that you put your faith and trust in me, I will never lie or let you down, I will always weigh the situations, coming up with solutions and decisions that will most benefit you! Let me now take time to let you know how I feel about the following:
The Commandments
Incorporate the Commandments into the United States Constitution, instituting the Seventh Day Sabbath, a day to be honored and observed throughout America.
War
I will only use our troops when our National Security is threatened by any force, domestic or foreign. During peace time, the troops will be used for natural disasters and emergencies
Environment
We must put strong measures in place to off set climate change. Replacing fossil fuels, using alternative energy sources, cutting down on carbon. Putting strict regulations in place to force the oil companies to limit off shore drilling and fix the leaking valves on the ocean floor and cleaning our water ways. Increased manufacture of hybrid vehicles cutting down on gasoline and oil emissions (same from state to state). Eliminate fracking in America polluting our water and soil
Food and Drug Administration
Stop GMO from being placed in the food! Total elimination of GMO's in America
Economy
The only true way to stimulate Job growth is through new business development, increased manufacturing, in disadvantaged neighborhoods providing Jobs. Regulate Wall Street, lowering the interest rates setup by the Federal Reserve, elimination of Predatory Lending practices which charges high and excessive rates of interest and charges
Student Loans
College must be free in America. To date, college loans are the biggest asset providing money to the government. As many students complete their curriculum, obtaining a degree, many are unable to find work in their fields, If they do, they are paid mediocre wages that stagnate their potential to repay the loans! Causing many to default on the loans, giving them bad credit, once done, they are placed in a dilemma, unable to pay other bills, unable to move out from their parents, unable to afford an apartment or buy a house or automobile. I will set in place, a Student Forgiveness program allowing those who are facing Hardships to be relieved of the debt
Minimum Wage
I will set in place across the board a federal Living Wage w/ cost of living increases
State Lotteries and Casino's
Incorporate taxes to help offset Real Estate Taxes, College Tuitions, providing money to States, Schools, and Colleges
School Breakfast and Lunch Programs
Replace junk food with good whole foods, full of nutrition, curving obesity
Real Estate
A fair standard price for apartments, condo's and houses, based on square footage
Affordable Health Care
Incorporate dental care and eye care into the Affordable Care Act
Uniform Laws State to State
Different Laws exist from state to state. There must be a uniform code applying to every state.
The aforementioned topics does not comprise a complete list, other items will be added from time to time! I encourage all Americans to give their input for other items they would like addressed in America! You can email: samuelhurt1@gmail.com to state what you would like to have expressed!

My Latino Brothers and Sisters, all Immigrants, don't worry about Donald Trump! He and his bigoted followers will be defeated in 2016! The Majority of Americans, the many of us whose parents, grand parents, and great grand parents were immigrants, we would not be citizens today! Spread the word, tell it to all, change is coming in America: I will in my first three months sign a Comprehensive Immigration Act, allowing the many who have been deported, separated from children, residing in America, reuniting them! Trump is a Bigot, and the many others supporting him are covert racists! If we aren't descendant of Native Americans, we all are immigrants! Trump is an out right racist, what he really wants is a race war! We mustn't allow him or any following him feed into this frenzy! His style of politics is dangerous to America
Aug. 21, 2015
My fellow Americans, we all are in the boat together! We all are facing hardships brought on by uncaring self aggrandizing politicians driven by greed! All the problems in America can be attributed to many in Congress and the Senate, the Supreme Court, our past and current Presidents! Since President Obama became President, the deficit now is approx.: 19 trillion dollars, austerity has increased worldwide, many innocents have died from military actions, poverty has increased (gap between the poor and rich widens with the wealth of the 1% equaling that of the 99%), the month of July is the hottest in the history of the world as result of climate change and our President allows Shell Oil to drill in the Arctic speaking with a fork tongue, immorality is the new order allowing sin to become more pervasive in America, racism on the rise in America, etc. America is in a bad way! We need G_D to intervene, and the only way He will is if we acknowledge Him by honoring His Commandments! Having put our faith in corrupt individuals in Government, electing politicians who have their own vested interests, not the interest of the American people! Basic values are being compromised and set aside through political maneuvering, instating laws in opposition to life preservation. Destroying our environment, corrupting the morals of people, and it's all been for profit and lust for flesh!
If you allow me to become America's next President, I will prosecute corrupt politicians, judges, corporate heads, inside traders on wall street, non profit organizations receiving federal funds not going to where they are intended, Lastly, I will bring prayer back into the Public School System making it mandatory!
In order to make America a prosperous nation, we must move in a positive direction, doing what is right and acceptable to our Creator!
With the Current decision made by the Supreme Court on same sex marriage, clearly, Church and state has been violated! The Justices overstepped their boundaries placing State over Church! Once elected, I will have a Referendum placed on the ballot allowing Americans to overturn this ruling instating marriage the way G_D intended it to be!

Fellow Americans, Face Book is doing everything to block my Presidential Platform link! Throughout the months, I and others have been effective garnering support! Many Americans are frustrated, tired of the circus of nominees (both Republican and Democrat), coming into realization that I am the best Candidate to lead America in 2016! Soon I will be posting my Web Site: www.samuelhurtpresident2016.com, it's under construction.
Mark Zuckerberg, I promise, once I become President, I will do everything in my power to make Face Book public owned! You will no longer be able to stop people from posting certain posts, stop your deletions of our posts, stopping your exploitation and deceptive ways of charging for Ads. etc.
Sept. 21, 2016
Trump will not be President. Those following him had better realize he has used everyone and thing to get where he is today! To quote the Commandments of G_D is hypocritical and has distanced from G_D, he will further distance us from G_D bring G_Ds Wrath down on America! This is a price we Americans can't afford!

I CHOOSE ARNOLD SCHWARTZENEGGER AS MY VICE PRESIDENT.
Nov. 8, 2016
The race is not over, I will not concede until every Write in vote is counted and accounted for. I will be contesting this election. The whole process is Rigged for the Elite. Hillary will win, because she was selected, and all the hype in voting is just to make you think you're a participate in the process.
Schwarzenegger probably never knew he was a VP for an Independent Democrat. In 2011 the former governor had rebooted his acting career and in 2016 was filming Killing Gunther. He had also taken over Trump's position as host of the television program Celebrity Apprentice. Schwarzenegger's very public troubled marriage with Maria Shriver was nearing an end and made tabloid headlines.
Considered one of those rarest of political creatures-- a moderate to liberal Republican-- Schwarzenegger endorsed Gov. John Kasich during the primary season. After Kasich dropped out, Schwarzenegger said he would not vote for Trump--
For the first time since I became a citizen in 1983, I will not vote for the Republican candidate for President. Like many Americans, I’ve been conflicted by this election – I still haven’t made up my mind about how exactly I will vote next month. I have been a proud Republican since I moved to America in 1968 and I heard Nixon’s words about getting the government off our backs, free trade, and defending our liberty with a strong military. That day I joined the party of Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan. But as proud as I am to label myself a Republican, there is one label that I hold above all else – American. So I want to take a moment today to remind my fellow Republicans that it is not only acceptable to choose your country over your party – it is your duty.
His statement came the day after a videotape had been released where Trump is heard to say, "You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p—y."
It appears Hurt did not register as an official write-in in any state. Schwarzenegger's birth in Austria as a non-USA citizen would have been a major Constitutional obstacle in the event of their victory. Hurt would run again in 2020.
Election history:
2003-2011 - Governor of California (Republican)
Other occupations: Austrian army, Chairman of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, bodybuilder, actor, businessman, author, Schwarzenegger Institute for State and Global Policy
Notes:
Full disclosure: I supported Georgina "Georgy" Russell (D) in the 2003 recall election. Unfortunately for her, I was a Washington State voter.
Full disclosure 2: I have never seen Celebrity Apprentice.
Full disclosure 3: Although I have a vast library of films, none of them feature Schwarzenegger.
