TIME FOR ACTION
by Tom Lineaweaver
We need your help. For William Tint and I to be successful, we need all the help we can get. And the biggest reason for getting us elected is, if we don't, this Country is doomed. In reading the political tea leaves, I can see the Republican Party is pushing Jeb Bush, and the Democrat Party is pushing Hilary Clinton. We don't need another Bush to carry on the family's treacherous and evil ways. I urge you the check out Prescott Bush, and even his father.
The Country is weary of the Bushes. Therefore, Hilary Clinton will be the next President. That is unless the third party movement, the Independents, and all the Constitutionalists get behind the Lineaweaver - Tint team.
Why us and not someone else? Let's say, Ron Paul? If he remains a Republican, he doesn't have a chance. Then there's the age factor. He is already 79. He'll be 81 in 2016. That doesn't necessarily bother me, but what about the rest of the American people?
William Tint and I basically has the very same message as Ron Paul. Getting back to the Constitution politically and economically. We have a non-interventional Foreign Policy. We have a plan to fix the economy and increase jobs by the millions. Of course, we'd have to get the plan through Congress. So, while you are at it, you need to support and elect Constitutional candidates for Congress.
I feel very strong about this. I keep looking for a better alternative, and there is none that I could find. William Tint and I are the best chance we have to save America. But, if we do not unite, America is doomed. The only solution at that point would be an armed rebellion, and William Tint and I would like to prevent that. Millions of Americans will die in an armed struggle with the evil, despotic, tyrannical, Government that we have now. Or haven't you noticed, police departments all over the Country are becoming militaristic. But we can prevent that by electing pro-Constitution candidates for every office in the Country.
If we don't do this folks, you will lose your money, your freedom and possibly your lives. If we don't change the direction of this Country soon, it's going to crash.
Time for a change. Time to get back to the Constitution.

THEN, NOW, THE FUTURE AND WHY
by Tom Lineaweaver
Back in 2010, I explored the possibility of running for President in 2012. That went nowhere. I had rather much given up the idea of running for anything. Then it happened.
What could be called the defining time of my political career. I was listening to the Bob Durgin show on WHP-AM 580. It was in the summer of 2011. I had rather much given up of me ever running for anything. But, on this particular show, someone called and introduced the topic of an 8 year old girl, in I think York County, Pennsylvania, her lemonade stand was shut down. I don't remember why. I do remember how it made me feel. In fact, I probably said out loud, "They've gone too far." I decided I had to do something, although running for office was not the something. What I did was call Mauree Gingrich's office. She was my State Representative at the time. I called State Senator Mike Folmer's office, who has been a friend for about 25 years at the time. And, I called the Governor's office. It was Governor Corbett's first year in office. I voiced my concerns, about how this Pennsylvania, the birthplace of Liberty. About the Declaration of Independence, etc. So, I reminded them of our founding, and asked how we got so far away from that to make it illegal for an 8 year old to have a lemonade stand on her parent's land.
Well, my concerns fell on deaf ears. These people just didn't seem to care. I got to thinking what else can I do. I decided that the best thing to happen is if we had a Constitutional Governor. For the remainder of 2011, and for much of 2012, I searched for someone that would be a Constitutional Governor. The only one I could find that seemed to be interested in challenging Corbett was Bruce Castor. I now know there were others. But, the media didn't acknowledge them at all. So, all I did hear about was Bruce Castor. So, I checked into Bruce Castor, and determined he was just another politician.
Finally, in the beginning of 2013, I decided, if I want something done, I better do it myself. I decided I was going to try to win the Republican nomination for Governor. I opened a page on Facebook for that purpose. And I opened a forum at Son of David Forums. Between the two, I was trying to gain support. I did get a little, but not near enough. I sent e-mails to media outlets. And I got very little coverage. I did get some coverage on the internet from the Green Page, I think it was called. And there were other internet pages. I got a nice write up in a Pittsburgh Newspaper, and I have been told I got a nice write up in a Northeastern Pennsylvania Newspaper. But, I got no volunteers to help me circulate nominating petitions. Then I began running a write-in campaign for the Republican nomination. But, that went nowhere as well. I do believe, if I was able to get on the ballot, I could have defeated Corbett, then as a Republican, I could have defeated Wolf. But, that obviously was not to be.
After the Primaries, I left the Republican Party, and registered Independent, and began a write in campaign. This time instead of a page, I opened a group on Facebook. The Page was converted to "People for Constitutional Government." This all happened from February 2014 to the Primaries.
Obviously, I didn't win the Governorship. But, I did gain some National attention, to the point, in October of 2014, I received a phone call from a man in Louisiana. We had a nice talk about the Constitution. He talked about all the groups he was part of. Then he made the offer. If I were to run for President, those groups he talked about would support me. Woe! How can anyone say "no" to an offer like that? I told him I would think about it. In our next conversation, I told him I would run if he was my campaign manager. But, it didn't quite work out that way. However I was given a gift I could possibly build on. And I did.
After a while, I thought, in political realities, it is best to have a Party structure to get anywhere. I considered other parties. But, I was just not comfortable. I needed a Party I felt comfortable in. That's when I started Freedom USA Party. It is designed to unite the best parts of all the parties, but specifically to promote Constitutional Governance. We simply must get back to the Constitution if we are to salvage the United States of America.
I chose a running mate by the name of William Tint. But, let me tell you. Neither he nor I are perfect. But, both of us want the Country to get back to the Constitution. Both of us care about the people of America who are struggling greatly. And both of us understand that it is the Federal Government that is causing the American people to struggle. Obamacare is a great example of what makes American struggle. And that is much of where we are today.
Now to the why. Why should I be the next President? It's because I care. When you look at the actions of the Federal Government in the most recent decades, can you honestly say there is anyone in Washington D.C. that care about the people of this Country?
Did Ronald Reagan care about the people of this Country when he chose George HW Bush as a Vice President? Then George HW Bush became President. Did he care about the American people when he signed the American Disabilities Act, which has done more harm than good? And do you remember what happened at Ruby Ridge, ID? The Government murdered American citizens, and practically with impunity. George HW Bush should have gone to jail for the rest of his life, because he's a murderer. Along came Bill Clinton. Did he care about the American people when he signed a law that forced the banks and financial institutions to make loans to people that probably could not pay them back? Did George W. Bush care about the American people when he signed the Patriot Act? That is one of the most unconstitutional laws ever passed by Congress. And now they are using it to spy on anyone they feel threatened by. Did Barack Obama care about the American people when he signed the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare? I don't have to tell you the harm that has done and will do. Unless you had your head in the sand, you should know.
There is no one in Washington DC that cares about the American people. William Tint and I do care about the American people.
Of course, our campaign is not official as of yet. We need a few things before that happens. A campaign manager that understands Federal Election laws, which, by the way, are unconstitutional. There is no such thing as a Federal Election. All elections are State elections. But, we have to deal with reality. Then when in office, we can make a difference.
At this point we are doing our best to gain support, and really, we are in an exploratory mode. If this campaign comes together where we unite in our cause. Where can get on the ballot in all 50 States, I really believe we have a chance.
If you want the change we speak of, then please come on board and help us get there.
Time for a change. Time to get back to the Constitution.
Later in March 2015 the ticket experienced a split. Tint bailed from Lineaweaver's team and switched to Robert Doggart's Presidential campaign. The announcement was made by Tint on Blog Talk Radio / Patriot Nation as he and the host also discussed conspiracy theories regarding a potential civil war and a military exercise known as Jade Helm 15. Lineaweaver's reaction was not one of surprise--

DOGGART - TINT 2016
There is no more doubt. The Doggart - Tint team materialized. It was announced on Blog Talk Radio / Patriot Nation.
Personally, I believe this has been in the works for a while. And, I believe it has to do with my view on Israel. I know Bob Doggart disagrees with me about Israel. William Tint has encouraged me not to be public with what I believed about Israel. But, I did not hide it. Why should I? Everything I said about Israel is true. In 1967 Israel attacked the USS Liberty, and killed 34 U.S. Sailors. For a long time that was covered up. On March 16, 2003, Rachel Corrie was murdered by Israelis. There weapon was a bulldozer. Rachel was unarmed. She was working for peace. She was peacefully protesting Israelis destroying the homes of Palestinians whether there was anyone at home or not. Israel killing Palestinians, and some were Christians. In 2009, there was a Baptist church in Gaza having New Year's Eve services. Israeli forces bombed a nearby building and in the process destroyed the church killing the Pastor an many attendees. I personally don't believe that was by accident.
Lately there has been news reports that Israel, along with the United States and other Countries has been supporting ISIS. Iran stopped the shipment or arms from Israel to ISIS.
Tell me why we are supporting this murderous Government. And, based on my conversations with Bob Doggart, he is a big supporter of Israel.

Robert Doggart of Tennessee had become a cause célèbre among those in the far Right conspiracy community. He had run for Congress as an Independent in 2014. Doggart had a Ph.D. from LaSalle University in engineering management and had been a federal employee with the TVA. He was also a minister with the Christian National Church (Congregational).
Doggart had been planning a terrorist attack on Islamberg, a Muslim communal settlement in the area of Hancock, N.Y. His Facebook included a post: "Our small group will soon be faced with the fight of our lives. We will offer those lives as collateral to prove our commitment to our God. We shall be Warriors who will inflict horrible numbers of casualties upon the enemies of our Nation and World Peace."
The Presidential campaign of Doggart/Tint appeared to have ceased at the time of Doggart's Apr. 10, 2015 arrest.
When Tint joined the Doggart ticket, they both had already been wiretapped by the Feds who were tipped off by informants and undercover agents. Lineaweaver's conversations with Doggart were also picked up. Some of Doggart's taped comments were played in court--
If there’s a gun fight, well there’s a gun fight. And I want to come home ’cause I love my family and I want to see my kids again. But I also understand that if it’s necessary to die then that’s a good way to die.
When we meet in this state, the people we seek will know who we are. We will be cruel to them. And we will burn down their buildings (and) if anyone attempts to, uh, harm us in any way, our stand gunner will take them down from 350 yards away ... The standoff gunner would be me.
[Islamberg] is vulnerable from many approaches and must be utterly destroyed in order to get the attention of the American people.
Those guys (ought or have) to be killed. Their buildings need to be burnt down. If we can get in there and do that not losing a man, even the better.
We’re gonna be carrying an M4 with 500 rounds of ammunition, light armor piercing. A pistol with three extra magazines, and a machete. And if it gets down to the machete, we will cut them to shreds.
I actually think we can get in and out of there without getting caught. There’s only four policemen in town. The fire department is a volunteer department, so it’ll take them 35 minutes to get there while that building will be burned down already. And we’ll be long gone by then.
I’ve got this battalion that I command and they want to go up to uh a place and take action. There is all these people all over the country that what to start what we call a flash point. … so sick and tired of this crap that the government is pulling that we go take a small military installation or we go burn down a Muslim church or something like that.
I don’t want to have to kill children, but there’s always collateral damage.
I wish somebody would kill Obama. Just do it and get it over with.
The Times Free Press reported Tint "offered to provide 50 men from South Carolina and another 150 from New York, and said he had experience in demolitions, and agreed the men should meet."
Tint was questioned on Apr. 13, 2015 and on the following Sept. entered a plea of guilty to the charge that he "did knowingly and willfully make a false, fraudulent, and fictitious material statement to FBI agents during their investigation." In June 2016 Tint was sentenced to three years probation, apparently as part of a plea bargain.
On May 27, 2015 Tint made a remark on Facebook indicating he was running for President--
Over the past few months I have withdrawn my quest for the constitutional ticket for the seat of President of the United States however I have decided whith several other people to continue to run and I will be bringing with me several members running for Congress and Senate it is my intention to restore the Constitution and free the American people.
In Aug. 2015 Tint began to show enthusiastic support for the campaign of Ed Baker, an Independent from Oregon who embraced a large number of conspiracy theories such as "No One Died at Sandy Hook," geoengineering, and later, Pizzagate.
On Election Day 2016 Tint posted--
next election I will be running and I won't have them push me out again.its time for real American people to be in control of the country. constitutionalist!!!!!
Meanwhile Lineaweaver, who apparently never settled on a running-mate after Tint, dropped out of the race in the fall of 2016 and endorsed Darrell Castle of the Constitution Party. He began his 2020 campaign for President shortly after the 2016 election.
Doggart is currently in prison serving a long sentence.
Election history:
2016 - US President (Independent) - defeated
Other occupations: US Marine Corps, militia member, military surplus dealer, South Carolina National Guard
Notes:
Tint's vision of a 2020 Presidential campaign did not seem to materialize.
