The campaign (2012):
For their second Presidential outing the Boston Tea Party, which was partly a home for refugees from the Libertarian Party, held on online convention shortly before Christmas, 2011 and nominated Tiffany Briscoe of Maryland for President and Kimberly Barrick (née Johnson) of Arizona for VP.
Briscoe, who operated a retail business merchandising clothes, handbags, and perfume, filed with the Maryland State Board of Elections as a Democrat on Mar. 9, 2011. After her Presidential nomination she filed with the FEC under the Boston Tea Party on Feb. 12, 2012.
In Mar. 2012 it was discovered Briscoe had some serious discrepancies in her resume and the BTP asked that she either step down or explain. She explained her version of events, and in the end the Party still wanted her to step down. On the BTP side, there were differences of opinion on what course to take. On Briscoe's side she appeared to initially want to run under the BTP banner even if it meant no Party support but ultimately took the stance of, "You can't fire me, I quit!"
And so she continued to run as an Independent, although as far as Maryland was concerned she was still registered as a write-in Democrat.
On St. Patrick's Day, 2012, Briscoe's website offered her rendition of the split from the BTP, and the announcement of a new running-mate, James Ogle--
The fight for liberty and peace is far from over. We have a long way to go until we obtain the ultimate goal of a free society, based on free markets and free minds. But all signs point toward an eventual victory of the liberty movement. In many aspects of our lives, we are more free than we were 50 years ago, 100 years ago, or a thousand years ago. This is a relief, but as the greatest minds in history have stated, freedom depends on the willingness of individuals to fight for it.
Our campaign is just one little front in the overall battle. But it is not unimportant whatsoever. In fact, it brings about a great opportunity to either accelerate victory or let the battle drag for longer. But it needs to be managed in a more efficient way to help our cause. This is why the Briscoe for America presidential campaign has decided to make a few, meaningful changes to enhance voters' powers this November.
To begin with, the campaign chose not to run with a party in this election cycle. We went from Democrats to a ticket for the Boston Tea Party. We thank both entities for their well-accepted support, but Tiffany Briscoe is not meant to follow a definite political party. Lately, a controversy arose within the party's internal structures, which led to an referendum on Tiffany's status as presidential nominee. She unfortunately lost, by a couple of votes, even though the referendum was unbinding and meaningless legally-speaking. And while our decision to leave the BTP had nothing to do with this event, as it originated from earlier thoughts and discussions, we still wish a good luck to the Boston Tea Party, which remains one of the last political entities faithful to the Constitution.
Another change made was Tiffany's choice for Vice-President. Kimberly Barrick is a great woman who truly loves liberty in a way that only a few people can understand. However, she chose to stay with the BTP as a formal vice-presidential nominee for a headless ticket. After a long analysis of the different choices available, Tiffany came with the conclusion that the best general choice to second her ticket was James Ogle. James is a great pro-democratic activist who constantly challenges the legislative establishment through his organization, USA Parliament. James respectfully agreed to join the Briscoe for America campaign as Tiffany's vice-presidential pick, even though USA Parliament remained neutral on this particular matter.
The two will run a national campaign, focused on the principles they both share of liberty, peace, and prosperity, as Independents, in order to reflect this largest voting group during this election cycle. In the minor changes, we can count the moving of our campaign headquarters down south to Homestead, Florida, and the hiring of a new Communications Director, Vakhtang Davrichachvili.
James Orlando Ogle III, an artist based in California, had declared his candidacy for President as a Libertarian in Oct. 2011. He won the Missouri primary by defeating "Uncommitted" in pursuit of the nomination. Also in 2012 he sought the VP nomination for the Boston Tea Party and had expressed a desire to be Roseanne Barr's running-mate in the Peace and Freedom Party.
Ogle said he was descended from two early Maryland governors. He co-founded USA Parliament in 1995, a fantasy-political game that champions the concept of ranked choice voting and proportional representation. Ogle filed with the FEC for President in 1996 in place of Marcus Denoon (1966-2004) of the Pot Party, who decided he did not want to run.
On his 2012 campaign website, Ogle described another claim to fame, his alleged influence on the creation of Google, and in turn how that influenced his decision to run for office--
As one of the founders of the USA Parliament, a non profit which received recognition by the Federal Elections Commission on August 1st, 1995, I've been maintaining and promoting its activities as a non-profit and political voter registration drive every year for seventeen consecutive years.
Harry Browne [Libertarian] Elected
In the first election held in Usenet in 1993, Honorable Harry Browne [Libertarian] was elected #1 in the election because many Libertarians across the country voted for him.
Several election cycles and four years later in October of 1997, a student at Stanford University whose name I believe is Sergie Brin, discovered our activities on Deja News Usenet (now named Google Groups) by searching with his then unnamed search engine program and asked; "What is a joogle?".
Joogle was my email address and personal logo when I was first posting in Usenet about the USA Parliament and ranked choice voting (joogle@netcom.com), starting in 1993.
Someone replied "I don't know what a joogle is, but a google is a number."
About one week later Sergie Brin came back to Usenet and announced that he had named his search engine "google.com".
Because of me, he misspelled the word googol, which is the actual spelling of the number.
That didn't hurt Google's business and may have actually helped to kick-start Google's success because the parliament had been like the "juice" that the no-name program needed.
Many of my friends were Google's first customers. The political free speech and my personal artistic nature may have been applied. I am a painter/artist/sculptor, my shop signs actually used the colored letters in 1995 to 1997 at my Cannery Row, CA. art studio, which was located about in Monterey CA, a short drive to the beach from Stanford University.
The funny sound of my logo "Joogle" was a cool idea to immitate, and at that time in Usenet the parliament represented a cutting edge concept; voting for a virtual parliament through ranked choice voting.
I was in a debate with computer scientists around the world, and we were seeing the attitudes of peoples' writings change from violent revolution to peaceful voting systems revolutions.
Google's "page rank" program, artistic applications to the logo and cost free nature may have also been influenced by the US Parliament project, although in the first ten years Google search could not locate the usparliament.org web site, and traffic towards the words "parliament" and/or "parliamentary" was instead directed to the various Robert's Rules of Order sites which became high profile.
Robert's Rules of Order uses mostly plurality voting and single winner election systems, and so a lot of energy, time and money has been invested in methods which end up dysfunctional and exclusionary while being labeled "parliamentary".
After all these years I am still struggling to get my message out, but meanwhile my name has become a multi-billion dollar gateway. I would like to capitalize on that somehow, so I thought I'd run for president and/or vice president.
His campaign slogan was Go Ogle 2012.
The Briscoe/Ogle ticket received 18 votes in Maryland.
Ogle filed with the FEC in order to run for President in 2014 and the agency politely informed him the next election was not until 2016.
The campaign (2016):
Terry Wayne Wheelock of Fort Worth, Tex. filed with the FEC as an Independent for President on June 18, 2015. It was his second of three consecutive runs for the White House.
Wheelock, a former gymnast, waged part of his campaign on Facebook--
Feb. 13, 2016
HE INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE response to the questions asked on the Democrat Debate!
Opening Statement
My name is Terry Wayne Wheelock and I am The INDEPENDENT Candidate for President of the United States in 2016, I am THE BEST CHOICE because as an INDEPENDENT and I am the ONLY candidate who CAN and WILL SERVE, REPRESENT, RESTORE, and PROTECT the FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS of ALL the people, WE the PEOPLE! NO Republican or Democrat can do that because they are BEHOLDEN to their parties and NOT WE the PEOPLE! They can ONLY be a Republican President or Democrat President, BUT I CAN and WILL BE an AMERICAN PRESIDENT! I am also that THIRD CHOICE EVERYONE is looking for due to the incompetents and negligence of the “party” Presidents who have and are tearing AMERICA apart! It is TIME to DUMP the parties and be INDEPENDENT as were the FOUNDERS of this GREATEST NATION! I will be on the ballot in ALL 50 States in November, so I want EVERYONE to VOTE and Vote! WHEELOCK! 2016
How will I control the deficit?
As President I will bring the deficit budget up to a balanced budget in a step-by-step approach that will right the wrongs of the SKIMMING SCHEME that the Republicans and Democrats have and are perpetuating on AMERICANS with their FRAUD, WASTE, and ABUSE! I will create the environment so PEOPLE can start businesses that create JOBS! Putting AMERICA to WORK! I will end the Republican and Democrat era of FISCAL SLAVERY for the people, ALL the PEOPLE! The PEOPLE will have the CHOICE to SUPPORT and FUND the PROGRAMS, PRODUCTS, and SERVICES according to what THEY USE, CHOOSE, and BELIEVE IN!
How much larger should government be?
Government should ONLY be of the size that, WE the PEOPLE CHOOSE it to be, it exists to SERVE US and PROTECT US when necessary, as opposed to what ANY of the other candidates will actually do and that is expand government for THEIR special interest lobby parties by raising TAXES to fund THEIR LIFESTYLES at the expense of EVERYONE else! As President I will give the POWER to THE PEOPLE to SUPPORT and FUND the programs, products, and services THEY USE, THEY CHOOSE, and THEY BELIEVE IN! AMERICANS WILL control the size of government as opposed to the government telling Americans how big government will be! A revolutionary concept but think of what the size of government would be WHEN the PEOPLE have the CHOICE to cut the FRAUD, WASTE, and ABUSE! An AMERICAN GOVERNMENT that IS OF the PEOPLE, BY the PEOPLE, and FOR the PEOPLE!
What will be the cost of your government expansion plans? (How will you fund, tax, or pay for it?)
The question ASSUMES that government will expand, WHY does it have to? Again, simply as President I will give the PURSE STRINGS to the PEOPLE to pay for or fund it, thereby giving THEM the control over how BIG government is. I WILL in a stepped approach ABOLISH TAXATION! TAXATION is the FISCAL SLAVERY holding this NATION and WE the PEOPLE back from OUR LIFE, OUR LIBERTY, and OUR PURSUIT of HAPPINESS! I will ABOLISH the IRS and replace it with THE OFFICE OF OPERATIONAL FUNDING in which WE will NO LONGER be TAXPAYERS but rather CITIZENS who EXERCISE THEIR RIGHT to fund what they USE, CHOOSE, and BELIEVE IN! This is the ONLY way to allow WE the PEOPLE to control OUR DESTINY! I WILL cut the double and triple DUPLICATION, the FRAUD, WASTE, and ABUSE of government programs and consolidate government into a size that the PEOPLE choose and will manage! So that the government is a SERVANT to the PEOPLE!
What do women need to know about you?
As President I will love them, support them, and aid them in achieving ANY of THEIR DREAMS so they TRULY have EQUAL RIGHTS, EQUAL CHOICE, EQUAL PAY, EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, EQUAL ABILITY, and WHATEVER OTHER EQUAL you want to add to the list so that ALL WOMEN at home and AROUND the WORLD are EQUAL in EVERY RESPECT!
Should women voters feel obligated to support women candidates?
NOT ONE BIT! They should support a CANDIDATE because of the CONTENT of THEIR PLATFORM not the SEX of THEIR SKIN! My momma taught me don’t like a woman just because she is a woman, like her because she is and EQUAL! It is a NO BRAINER, ANY candidate who DOESN’T support FULL EQUALITY for WOMEN, or ANY PEOPLE for that matter should be LEFT SWIPED!
How would you address the disproportionately high black male prison population?
As President I would use EVERY power of the President to stop bias sentencing, remove judges who show negligent bias, reform what is at this time a PENAL SYSTEM and reform it into an actual CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM so that the purpose is to rehabilitate NOT incarcerate. So that no matter what the color of your skin is, those who do commit crime serve JUST time and are REHABILITATED to emerge back into society with EVERY RIGHT and RESPONSIBILITY of ANY Citizen! We must also create the environment and OPPORTUNITY for EQUALITY for AMERICANS of AFRICAN descent! Because if a person has a JOB that will allow them to achieve LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT of HAPPINESS, the hands will not be able to do the crime that will bind them for time!
What would you do to improve race relations? (How has Obama done?)
Relations among the “races” for MOST people isn’t really an issue an issue anymore, WE are ALL EQUAL, there is ONLY one RACE the HUMAN RACE! “BUT” there are those on EVERYSIDE that profit from continuing to divide the races. They are the MINORITY now. I don’t have a RACIST bone in my body or BEING and as President I call on ALL PEOPLE, of ALL the RACES, to unite and put racism to bed. I will use EVERY power of the Presidency to eliminate racism In government, law enforcement, military, and ANY other facet of AMERICAN LIFE! I believe it was Obama’s intention to improve race relations but I believe he has stoked the fears of ALL races! Unknowingly he along with the Republican and Democrats and “journalism” have perpetuated the survival of and inflamed the promoters of racism for political, personal, and monetary gain. We ALL must adopt a policy of ZERO TOLERANCE for racism in AMERICA and AROUND the WORLD!
Do some white Americans have a right to feel resentful? (Is it wrong to be describing it as a racial thing?)
Well, as an AMERICAN, it is wrong to be putting ANYTHING in front of AMERICAN, except YOUR RELIGION, because WE are ONE NATION UNDER GOD! Which that is a whole different issue but suffices to say that I can see that some people are, I don’t know if I would call it resentful, but rather attentive to the descriptive terminology used to try to classify people and seeming raise one race, color, nationality, etc. over the others. There are those again that want to perpetuate the “race wars” for profit and destabilization of this NATION founded on FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS and the WE are ALL CREATED EQUAL! Race, color, nationality, origin, etc. should all be put behind the FACT the WE are ALL AMERICANS FIRST!
Should undocumented families fear deportation?
ANYONE who comes to America “illegally” should “fear” deportation, because they have committed a crime against AMERICA! Now having said that IF they DO NOT come forward, identify themselves, stand before judgment, and make restitution for their crime, and SWEAR and DEMOSTRATE ALLEGIANCE to the United States of America, then they should be and will be deported, no matter WHAT the reason is that they came here for. When a person goes to someone else’s house they should enter the FRONT DOOR and NOT the WINDOW. As President, WE and I will secure the BORDER and create a PATHWAY to the FRONT DOOR! WE will update and reform what needs to be within the IMMIGRATION SYSTEM to allow those who wish to IMMIGRATE to AMERICA and become AMERICAN the ability to LEGALLY do so! We must differentiate between, IMMIGRATION, MIGRATION, REFUGEES, and ILLEGAL ENTRANTS. Those here illegally have a CHOICE to make to PAY the PRICE, to become AMERICAN! The FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS that are INALIENABLE and GOD GIVEN to ALL AMERICANS have been secured by the BLOOD of the FOUNDERS, and if some wants that FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS then they must pay the PRICE!
How will you insure that the basic needs of senior citizens are met?
By creating and addressing the environment, programs, and infrastructure so that seniors can “insure” their own needs. WE ALL will have “needs” when we are “seniors”, so EVERYONE must choose to contribute to what WE as seniors will need when we get OLD! Unless we can find a cure for aging! Citizens will have the CHOICE of PUBLIC, PRIVATE, or INDIVIDUAL “social security” plans for retirement or “senior” years. Elimination of TAXATION will allow people to put funds toward THEIR SENIOR NEEDS! As with anything we will use a MULTIFACETED approach so that today’s youth can plan for THEIR SENIOR YEARS! For those who are seniors now they will receive the benefits they have earned and prepared for, and for those who haven’t prepared they will have to work in their senior years to fund those years. NOTHING is FREE, someone is paying for it somehow, and this FREE to ME SOCIETY that Republicans and Democrats are trying to secure will FAIL, just as with any FLAWED FORMULA, the math will always fail and this is where and what your math teacher was talking about when they told you one day math would SAVE YOUR LIFE!
What influence will your campaign contributors have on your administration?
NONE! People contribute to my campaign for President because if elected I CAN and WILL do EVERYTHING within the PRIVILEGE of the President to bring about the policies I have put forth in my platform. That is MY WORD and that is MY BOND! I will create the environment so WE the PEOPLE set the priority of issues, and as President, policy will not be “INFLUENCED” it will be implemented. They will be contributing because they believe in CHANGE WE CAN ACHIEVE! There will be no place to “influence” a policy, because if a person compromises their policy they are WRONG in the FIRST PLACE! If ANYONE thinks they can pay to influence me as President, then they do NOT understand the meaning of the word NONE! The whole way of electing the President must be RESTORED to it original intent! That the LEADER of the PEOPLE must be OF the PEOPLE, BY the PEOPLE, and FOR the PEOPLE, ALL the PEOPLE EQUALLY!
Are there any areas of government you’d like to reduce?
ALL the double, triple duplication, ALL the FRAUD, WASTE, and ABUSE! ANY area in any program, service, product that the government has the PRIVILEGE to provide the Citizens of this NATION! One of the things I do to earn my keep in this world is WEEDEATIN! As President I will take a WEEDEATER to the “government” at all levels to eliminate the WEEDS so there is nothing left but GREEN GRASS on BOTH sides of the fence! Eliminating TAXATION will give WE the PEOPLE the POWER that is THEIRS to reduce government, balance the budget, and ONLY fund what government THEY USE, CHOOSE, and BELIEVE IN!
Is the US ready for the next attack against the homeland?
We are as ready now as we have ever been and will ever be in a FREE SOCIETY! As a FREE and OPEN SOCIETY we are vulnerable to attack, so we must ALWAYS be looking for and implementing capabilities, technologies, and policies that will allow us to respond to and thwart when possible ANY attack upon this nation. Restoring AMERICA as a SUPER POWER and stop being a SUPER BULLY will go along way to eliminating the “perceived need” to attack America. To those who are bent on bringing down FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS for ALL whether they be FOREIGN or DOMESTIC WE and the REST of the WORLD are rising to eliminate DICTATORIAL, AUTHORITARIAN, or ANY CoK (Convert or Kill) IDEOLOGY around the world, because EVERYONE worldwide wants FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS! As President no OPTION will be off the table to protect AMERICA!
What is your strategy for dealing with Russian president Putin?
As President I will create the environment for him to bring FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS to the PEOPLE of RUSSIA whom he is a SERVANT to. We will do what is RIGHT for ALL the PEOPLE whether they are AMERICAN or ANY OTHER! He has a CHOICE to FREE the PEOPLE or THEY WILL DEAL WITH HIM! He must understand that the age of CONQUERING is over and AMERICA, RUSSIA, and CHINA must work TOGETHER in COOPERATION to build a world based on FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, that is the purpose of government to SERVE, REPRESENT, RESTORE, and PROTECT when necessary the PEOPLE! The FIRST part of the “strategy” I would implement is to say to Putin, Jinping, and ANY OTHER is FREE YOUR PEOPLE, create the environment for THEM to PROSPER!
What more should the US do to lead the effort to help refugees?
We should create the environment for “REFUGEES” to solve the issues within their countries for themselves so they can return and NEVER allow the BAD people to rise up and take control of any country. And, simply if we and the “refugees” don’t have agreement that ALL people will have FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS when they return, then there will NEVER be any effort that can help ANYONE! To those who are destabilizing regions that are causing the refugees to flee, YOUR DAYS are numbered! AMERICA and the rest of the WORLD will NOT allow another Hitler or ISIS to rise and threaten the progress to WORLD PEACE! The final “war” between FREEDOM and OPPRESSION has begun and those who choose block the rise of FREEDOM worldwide will LOSE!
Name two leaders who would influence your decisions on foreign policy? (One American, one foreign)
No one leader would influence my decisions on foreign policy, because no leader in history has faced the issues that we as a nation face today. The only thing that will set the direction of what foreign policy will be is the FACE of a child on FOREIGN SOIL that lives in FEAR of DEATH because the leaders have NOT risen to the challenge of creating a country or nation in which they can LIVE, LIVE FREE, and PURSUE the HAPPINESS of FREEDOM! That goes for the “leaders” of AMERICA too; the children of AMERICA deserve LIFE, LIBERTY, and PURSUIT of HAPPINESS and the FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS that are INALIENABLE and GOD GIVEN!

Hi, I like your show, how about doing an interview with the ONLY candidate who has a VIABLE chance to beat Hillary!

Trump is just NUTS! The ONLY candidate who has a mathematical chance, a VIABLE platform, and can gain enough electoral votes to beat Hillary is TERRY W. WHEELOCK, The INDEPENDENT Party Candidate who is on the ballot in ALL 50 States, DC, and 4 Territories, is polling higher than Trump and Clinton when put head to head with them, is THE INDEPENDENT PARTY candidate who has the independent vote throughout the US, the evangelical vote, the conservative vote, the liberal vote, and the ONLY candidate who can work between the R/Ds to unite America!

VP nominee Ogle had apparently earlier expressed an interest in entering the primaries desiring the Republican nomination for US President. He called the Wheelock/Ogle ticket an "Independent/Republican" one.
Ogle had filed with the FEC for the 2016 election as a Democrat for President on Nov. 21, 2013. On Jan. 24, 2014, he filed again as a Democrat for the "2014" Presidential election, generating some humorous publicity. So he refiled for 2016, again as a Democrat, on Mar. 23, 2014. On Nov. 12, 2014 he changed his party affiliation to Republican.
Although the campaign website claimed "Presidential Candidate Wheelock is On the BALLOT in ALL 50 States!!!" I can find no evidence the Wheelock/Ogle ticket were on any ballots or even registered as write-ins.
On Apr. 15, 2017 Wheelock filed with the FEC to run for President in 2020 as a member of the Independent Party of the United States of America. Ogle filed to run for President in the 2020 election under the Green Party banner on July 6, 2018, but switched to Libertarian on May 23, 2019. He filed for the 2024 election on Dec. 12, 2020 as a Libertarian.
