Thinking about running for president 2016 ?
I am a online radio show host of the big d zone and the big d zone news But I love to run for office in 2012 I ran as a write in candidate for Boston city council as a write in candidate. Even though it did not work out in 2012 or when I first ran for president in 08 I will try again and keep trying untill I am elected! Americans need another choice to vote and I will do my very best to serve this great country! I want run for president of the united states of america. It is time for a third party candidate that will be in touch with the voters.
As President one of my goals is to work on a help our veterans now bill this bill will ensure that veterans get the help they need when they come home from serving our great country.

My name is Deshon Porter I am 41 from Springfield MO I am married to a wonderful woman Donnell Porter. I am running for president in 2016. I am GOP and Springfield tea party member. I stand for Israel we should help them. and the right of the poor middle class disabled persons college students veterans. I am for a balance budget but not on the backs of the poor or the disabled. The way to do it is with less aid meaning money to other countries, just give them military aid and supplies but no money we need the money here. stop bailing out banks and help out the people. A veterans now bill to help new members and veterans not after they come from training or war but when they say yes to serve our great country, when they serve so do their families serve as well. Colleges need to stop raising the price to go to school making it harder to get a degree. I want to say yes this country is a christian nation! I am pro life pro a real marriage between a man and a woman. I have more to say in the next coming weeks
Apr. 1, 2015
On April 24 or the 26 I will make my announcement plubic about my Presidential run in 2016.No one is talking about my run for president in the main stream news . This must be made known that I am very serious about this! Why do they not see that I will make a difference by throwing my name into the hat as they say? As a careing American Christian I will stand for Isreail , college students will be able to get a degree people who serve our great country will not wait to get the help they need to help their families. Standing for real marriage between a man and a woman! People who are disabled will not be forced to get a low or almost no paying job we deserve the same chance to work at a better paying job. No employment testing people need jobs now! We can have a balanced budget but not on the backs of the poor middle class ! Only give help to other countries by military aid and goods not in money we need the money right here! We must take a stand to get our country back!

First Radio show host then bakers Deshon Porter forced to drop out of the president race due to same sex marriage anger. Kim Davis who didn't give marrage to same sex couple due to her christian belief's and now DR. Ben Carlson! Just because he said that Muslims shouldn't be president now they want to silence him to? What is wrong? They the Muslims tried to stop people from saying pork or pig because it offending them Carlson have just as the same rights as Donald Trump have. I thought we lived in a country that it is OK to agree to disagree, now people are killing dreams just because of a belief? The bakers have had the right not to bake a cake for a same sex wedding but now they lost their bakery You mean to tell me that you can not even say a certain group shouldn't be president and they will tell you not to run? I can say that Donald Trump is too rich to be president he is a billionaire and already successful he don't need to be president. Well Carlson have The same freedom of speech as all Americans that lives in this country! To DR. Carlson please keep running for president don't let the status quo and the Muslims silence your voice our country need you. Stand up for your rights to free speech.

I thought that I was going to run for president in 2016 instead I dropped out angry with the Supreme Court in June deciding to side with same sex marriage . that same day as the ruling I got so angry that I quit and announced on my radio show. But I Still wanted to run for office and make a difference in the state of Missouri. So I found out that I am of age and can run for Congress. The 7 district where me and my princess wife live in is held by congressmen Billy Long. I hope to win his seat it is time for a outsider to represent our district our rights and freedoms. Yes I have no experience in office but I am a citizen of this country and I care I watch the news pray and I want to do something about what our district is going through. Slogan serving God first then country.Here is the new campaign website.
In Nov. 2015 Porter endorsed Dr. Carson for President. In Feb. 2016 he backed Sen. Cruz.
On May 29, 2016, Porter offered this reflection--
I wish I could have stayed in the 2016 race ! Would have gave voters another choice on the ballot. We are forced to choose between Trump for the Republican side and maybe Hillary Clinton? Come on Bernie Sanders! I wanted Ted Cruz to stay in for he is a Christian! We don't have the lesser of two evils at all. What would it be like if I was elected President? For starters there will be no plan parenthood ever, no more killing of innocent babies. No doctors would be allowed to do that at all. Second I would do is choose a new head of the VA to help our veterans get better treatment here in our own country to let veterans go to any hospital for care. To help them to stay in there homes and not be put on the streets. We must end homelessness and poverty. People who have disability shouldn't have less money forced to fend for themselves they must have a cost of living increase. Just like our seniors have to choose between food and medicine they should have more money as well. We need a better trained military not weakening. How by cutting the raises of Congress and the Senate. The IRS is gone there will be a simple tax return all college loans will be forgiven for the department. Education will be closed there will be another opportunity for aid for college one way is to make college free if not a four year college at least a two year college and make scholarship easy to get for deserving students don't make them jump hoops. Schools will be given back to state and local government only , Homeschool with be a right! Health care Obama care is a thing. of the past there will be Porter care my wife Teri Donnell Porter who will be a wonderful first lady will be in charge of the Porter care team that will bring our healthcare system back into shape. Pre existing condition will still qualify for Porter care. NASA will be back in full capacity but not sending people to Mars there is no way to come back or people will die along the way. Let's send them to planets other than the moon that is close to earth. We will stand by Israel and help our Jewish friends for if we do we will be blessed if not we will be cursed. No more inaugural events in cold weather it should be done in the spring time. When the weather is nicer. War should only come to another country under Congress vote not till then we send troops into harms way for our freedoms.
In a Youtube presentation June 18, 2016, Porter sort of re-entered the race when he said he was open to having delegates in the Republican, Democratic, and Green parties cast their votes for him at their conventions. He also stated he was running for President in 2020.
In the general election of 2016 he voted for Jill Stein of the Green Party. Porter also announced shortly before the election he would be running for the City Council of Springfield, Mo.
Running-mate Stowe's Facebook indicated support for the Electoral College, a celebration of gun culture and fishing, and defending what he described as the "Confederate battle flag." Stowe lived in Maysville, Ark. and backed Trump in 2016.
Election history: none
Other occupations: truck driver
Notes:
In a bittersweet postscript, Porter had married in 2014 but became a widower Aug. 28, 2016.
