Paul Edward Harju

VP candidate for Independent (2016)

Running mate with nominee: Piotr Blass (b. 1948)
Popular vote: ? (0.00%)
Electoral vote: 0/538

Getting a handle on the political life of perennial candidate Piotr Blass of Boynton Beach, Fla. is not an easy task. He has been running for office in Florida since the mid-1990s. Some of his multiple campaigns have been overlapping and getting a bead on where he falls on the spectrum is problematic. Here are some descriptions from the media--

Palm Beach Post, May 25, 2013
Piotr Blass, 64, is a regular at city commission meetings, where he stands out with his stringy long hair, sandals and thick European accent. He ran for U.S. Senate in 2004, governor in 2006 and Congress in 2008, before coming in last of seven candidates in the 2010 Boynton Beach mayoral race, won by Jose Rodriguez. Blass got 24 of the 4,377 votes cast.

He regularly describes his dream of a university in Boynton Beach, as well as projects that include a turbine power-generating network just offshore.

“My idea is to run and inspire,” said Blass, who said he became a citizen in 1979 with a plan to run for office. “I’m not a very good manager, but I could be a reasonable senator.”

... In 2011 Blass was a suspect in a fraud case when a former roommate, William S. Hunter, accused him of stealing and cashing his checks in 2010 while Hunter was in the Palm Beach County Jail.

Palm Beach Post, June 23, 2015
It's not a Florida election until Boynton Beach resident Piotr Blass files as a write-in candidate. Blass has been a write-in candidate in every general election since 2004.

Miami Herald, July 12, 2015
Many candidates offer refreshingly original interpretations of the U.S. Constitution. Boynton Beach’s Piotr Blass, who has a doctorate in mathematics from the University of Michigan, was born to Polish parents in Poland, which seems to run afoul of all that stuff in Article II of the Constitution requiring a president to be a “natural born citizen” of the United States. But when the Herald reached Blass by phone last week (in, ahem, Poland), he airily insisted that the Supreme Court will be on his side when he wins. “I have been a model citizen of the United States for more than 35 years now,” he explained. “I believe the equal protection clause of the Constitution means I must be entitled to equal treatment as that accorded to a 35-year-old native-born citizen.”

Blass has maintained that he, along with Tim Berners-Lee, was a co-creator of the World Wide Web in 1988.

In 2011 Blass seemed to include a Presidential campaign among his other activities. On the topic of Vice-Presidents, he made these comments on Facebook--

Apparently abandoning his run for President in 2012, Blass made a write-in bid for the US Senate. By Election Day he was endorsing Green Party nominee Jill Stein for POTUS. Blass would be back in 2016.

Right after the 2012 election a young woman died under mysterious circumstances in the home of Piotr Blass when she visiting one of the candidate's roomates. Blass himself was not implicated in the death but it brought him some unpleasant news coverage.

Dr. Piotr Blass filed with the FEC for US President on Nov. 21, 2014 under the party affiliation of "None."

Earlier in 2016 Blass had run for Mayor of Boynton Beach in the primary, placing 5th out of 5 with 3% of the vote. Also in 2016 he said he was running for the position of President of Poland.

According to his Facebook entries, Blass had initially selected Richard Andrito as his VP, but without explanation his name was replaced by that Paul Harju.

Harju later ran for Lt. Governor of Florida in 2018 on a ticket with Blass. In some notes posted on Facebook in Oct. 2018, Blass mentioned his running-mate and implied Harju was actually a resident of Michigan. Other circumstantial evidence supports that conjecture--

PH with unite Northern Michigan and Canada with Florida. He is Objibwa Native American and Finn and wounded war hero for the USA.

Harju was touted as one of the running-mates for Blass in 2020, but it seems when the dust settled the choice was Kamil Łukasz Chromiński. It is a little confusing due to Blass' cryptic comments that he was also running for President of Poland or a fictitious united Poland-USA jurisdiction.

VP candidate for Independent (aka Independent Republican) (2016)

Running mate with nominee: Deshon Porter (b. ca1973)
Popular vote: 0 (0.00%)
Electoral vote: 0/538

The campaign:

Deshon Porter, based in Missouri, is a perennial candidate for a variety of offices. In 2016 he had a rather tentative run for the Presidency as evidenced by the headline on his campaign website, "Deshon Porter 2016?"--

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.

Our Disabled Americans should not be forgotten as well better ADA laws bullying will be outlawed in every state.

Porter announced his Presidential run on Facebook, Nov. 14, 2013--

new campaign manager David Feickert press director Andrew Ray Bong running mate VP candidate  Edward Stowe  a great team for 2016! deshon porter 2016!

His electioneering on Facebook lasted from Nov. 2013 to Sept. 2015, when he dropped out of the race. Although he identified as a third party candidate on his campaign website, he thought of himself as running for the Republican nomination as well--

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!

Apr. 10, 2015
This is a reminder that on 4/26/20155 at 7 pm I will put in my bid to run for  president of our great country!  It is time to let the world know about my intentions on running for the GOP nomination for president of the USA . We need a leader who is a christian I will share my vision for our great country. This election is more important just to only be for the big name candidate.It is time for the people's voice to at last be heard.

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.

Sept. 22, 2015
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.

Jill Ellen Stein

 

Jill Ellen Stein, May 14, 1950 (Chicago, Ill.) -

VP candidate for BlueGreen Revolution Party (2016)

Running mate with nominee: James Wesley Beebe
Popular vote: ? (0.00%)
Electoral vote: 0/538

The campaign:

In a handwritten letter to the FEC Dr. James Wesley Beebe of Ventura, Calif. declared he was running for President as a Democrat on Oct. 26, 2015. He included a document entitled Twelve Visions for America.

Beebe's effort did not appear to be related to the pre-existing Twelve Visions Party. In the fall of 2015 he visited Iowa and waged a low budget campaign in preparation for the Democratic caucuses. He also sent the following missive to the DNC Chair on Nov. 8, 2015--

Dear Debbie Wasserman Schultz,
As of October 26, 2015 I became an official candidate for President of the United States of America. My e mail is ikimosabebb@yahoo.com and my Web Site is www.DrBeebeforPresident.com. I believe judging by the hundreds of interactions with voters that my candidacy adds a significant dimension to the Democratic debate. Please read my 12 Visions for America on my web site. I am a third generation retired United Methodist Pastor on my mother's side I have a Jewish Rabbi named Jacobs. I would take my confirmation classes to Jewish Synagoges and would be asked why are you doing what you do and I would say I am following after a Jewish Rabbi named Jesus. I believe we are at a crucial crossroads in America and need to look to the Pacific look to the ways of peace and we can realize the vision of Jesus to overcome evil with good. There is no greater good than water. No water, no food, no security and no life. My proposal is by 2020 to have in place at least 21desalination plants and permanently end the drought in America with a pipeline of water from the Pacific Ocean. My second vision can fundamentally change the debate on guns and change the fact that over 30,000 are killed every year by guns in America. Preserving the 2nd Amendment we will issue  a star trek like phaser that every citizen of age will have to enable people to knock people out but not mass murder people. The country that sent us to the moon and back safely can perfect this. Maybe available on our phones so that we can track any abuse. We want America to prosper and to be safe once again.

       In an interview you said you are impartial as to candidates for President and I would love to have an opportunity to join in the Democratic Debate. I could fly to the CBS debate this Saturday. I understand it is late but I have been profoundly concerned that on both the Republican and Democratic side there has been no challenge  to our foreign policy of unwittingly arming both sides in conflicts and then having to bomb our own weapons.We amazingly are occupying countries and then giving them our military technology falsely thinking we can tell who is for us and who is against us. We need to stop trying to dictate the forms of government in other countries while advocating in many non violent ways for human rights and education.                                                                                         

We need to have a strategy for peace and it begins at home but can spread around the world helping the displaced people of the world. The reality is global warming will raise the sea levels and it is a brilliant practical strategy to have new fresh water lakes here in America and all over the world. I am a UCLA graduate and have a Masters Degree and Doctorate from the School of Theology at Claremont. Ralph Nader said our number l job in our lifetime is being a citizen and now we are all global citizens. We need to do smart things in America and join the BlueGreen Revolution it  will create millions of meaningful new employment opportunities. Let me join the discussion. Aloha Dr.Beebe ps. I drove 2,000 miles to Des Moines but the campaign RV broke down and the rental did as well. I'll fly this time. My grandmother's maiden name was Schultz. We may be related at least by Adam and Eve.

On Jan. 18, 2016 Beebe changed his party affiliation to Independent. On the heels of that form came another handwritten letter indicating Beebe was running under the banner of the BlueGreen Revolution Party.

"Doc Beebe," as he liked to call himself, expressed his feeling that he was politically allied with Jill Stein and the Green Party. His Facebook post for Apr. 18, 2016--

Amazing how the population of the United States is reaching a consensus. We need better candidates! Both Trump and Hillary are underwater in disapproval. Candidates like Jill Stein of the Green Party and Dr. Beebe of tthe BlueGreen Revolution Party are going to surface when the American People wake up and realize we are going off a cliff lead by those who have sold out to the greedy unpatriotic corporations and the arms merchants. Why not give the BlueGreen Revolution a chance and give the wisdom of Jesus a chance and overcome evil with good. We occupy other countries give them our weapons and then are surprised when they turn on us. Conrad once had a cartoon with a picture of Frankenstein that read Made in America. From Bin Laden we supported against Russia occupying Afganistan to BagDaddy we encouraged at Guantanamo Bay. We create these monsters and are so surprised when they turn on us and then we congratulate ourselves when we have to take them out. We create the problem because we surrender the public good to private greed. The great lie is that people in the middle east are different they are like us. People all around the world want self determination fruits and vegetables and clear clean cool medicinal water.

Our founding fathers cheered Patrick Henry who declared Give me Liberty or Give me death. We need to learn the lesson of England and have engagement in diplomacy but a policy of reliquinishment of our occupations. We are going on 21 trillion over a cliff and almost everyone except Stein and Beebe want to keep going like mindless lemmings in lock step over the cliff to 40 and 50 trillion. Stop the insanity and look to the wisdom of the Prince of Peace and overcome evil with good. Peace, Prosperity and Plentiful Pastures here and around the world. These corrupt politicians need to get out of the way of the people of the world who want peace! wwwDrBeebeforPresident.com

On Aug. 18, 2016 he added--

Jill Stein and the Green party cannot succeed without the Blue of the Ocean making America Green! The BlueGreen Revolution!

On a Facebook post for Aug. 25, 2016, Beebe stated: "Jill Stein will make a great Vice President!" But Stein was already-- for the second consecutive national election-- the Presidential nominee of the Green Party.

Beebe appears not have registered as a write-in in any state. Whether Stein was ever aware she a VP contender is not known.
