George the Mutt

 




George the Mutt

VP candidate for Independent (2012, 2016)

Running mate with nominee: Milly the Dog
Popular vote (2012, 2016): 0 (0.00%)
Electoral vote (2012, 2016): 0/538

The campaign (2012):

Milly the Dog, a pitbull mix from [PNW trvia alert!!!] Idaho, waged her Presidential campaign via Facebook. Some samples--

Feb. 18, 2012
I was out campaigning ALL day. Unfortunately I was on a leash so didn't get very far.

May 14, 2012
Two reason you should vote for ME tomorrow! #1 I have not put up any of those ugly signs you see all over (I have pee on a few though) and #2 I have NEVER called your house in the middle of dinner begging for votes!

May 24, 2012
I'm heading up a new committee to get more fire hydrants in this city. WHO'S WITH ME?!

Aug. 31, 2012
Are you sick of the media hype, finger pointing, lies and trash talk that goes on in an election year? Well I'm here to tell you as the 3rd choice for president this November I am taking a stand. I don't point fingers because I haven't got any. Trash? I eat trash for breakfast but I never speak it, and never has a lie crossed my fat slobbery lips. While I may not have a strong foreign policy I do have a Chihuahua as a running mate so that's ethnic diversity, right? And I can not see Russia from my house but do you know what I can see? The road, and that road leads straight to the heart of the American people. Move over Mitt and Obama, there's a new dog in town!


Sept. 2, 2012
Ahh, September. The smell of political banter fills the air. Either that, or someone needs to scoop the yard.

Sept. 8, 2012
I am proud to introduce my running mate, George. His go to attitude and confident style is just what this ticket needs. He is a strong believer in community out reach and picking up after your pets. I feel he will be the person who can begin to build bridges with our feline friends across the aisle as well as bring in the lady votes with his handsome, robust figure. Please cast your vote this November for the Milly/George ticket that can get this country on leash and on track!


In the photo, George does not appear to be the chihuahua mentioned earlier as the VP.

The campaign (2016):

More from Facebook--

Apr. 12, 2015
Ladies and gentlemen, dogs of every variety, it is with great excitement I bring you this long awaited news! After careful consideration, much soul searching (and a little treat searching), I have decided to once again throw my hat into the ring to be your president in 2016.
It will take all of you to help me make this dream a reality. Please feel free to like and share my page with your friends and family. I plan to run a clean campaign. I'll be the first to admit that last go around I engaged in some cat bashing that I'm not proud of. But all that is in the past.  2016 HERE I COME!

Aug. 28, 2015
Have you met my running mate yet? I know it's a bit early to declare my hand, but I couldn't wait to introduce him.  He's a real power house, cares  about our country, and graduated top of his obedience class.
George The Mutt cares deeply about many issues. Top on his list of concerns is to cut spending for the fat cats in Washington so it can be used for the people. He wants to start a grass roots movement to increase the number of fire hydrants in every city. George won't be happy until there's a fire hydrant every 20 feet! That's just the kind of go-getter attitude the people need!
Welcome aboard George!


It would appear both candidates were residents of the same state, which might have been Constitutionally problematic in the event of their victory. Oh, yeah, and another small detail-- they were dogs.

Election history: ?

Other occupations: dog

Notes:
Milly the Dog should not be confused with Mildred, a pug in Tennessee who also ran for President in 2016 under the Geezer Party. Her running-mate was a Great Pyrenees-Rottweiler mix named Captain Ron.

Lou

 


Lou

VP candidate for Independent (2012)

Running mate with nominee: Seymour Cats (2003-2020)
Popular vote: ? (0.00%)
Electoral vote: 0/538

The campaign:

Seymour Cats, a feline resident of Bensalem, Penn. with his keeper Alex Gross, ran for President in 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020. The 2008 campaign was an under-the-radar event, but by the 2012 vote Seymour had an electioneering website that mentioned a running-mate, Lou--  

Seymour is a dedicated, hard working individual. He believes in helping people and this photo proves it. He is on top of his cabinet and has decided to run for the office of President of the United States again. He can do no worse than the Bush administration did.   Seymour is one crafty cat. He can fix the economy and most of the  problems in this country.  Seymour's running mate for 2012 is Lou., a  110 pound Labrador. Full of energy, just what we need.  See in this world, "IF YOU WANT TO RUN WITH THE BIG DOGS, YOU'VE GOT TO VOTE FOR A CAT "tm  Seymour will bring change to Washington. Both the kind you have in your pocket and the kind you notice  throughout the world.  Seymour promises he will not recycle people from past administrations. His cabinet will be all new , however, they bring  with them a wealth of  knowledge.  Seymour said he will have a  miniature Pincher named Chocolate as head of the CIA as this animal's stealth and sneaky ways have gotten her more than she ever dreamed.  Imagine that kind of cunning, sneakiness , running our intelligence agency!!!  Seymour is very much interested in the environment and has extensive experience in the emergency services. Look through this site to learn more.

                  Currently, Seymour's campaign stops are limited to the front and rear windows where he can be seen and heard . However, plans are underway for Seymour to travel across the country to win this office.  Seymour is currently interviewing   other potential cabinet members for this journey to the White House.

                  Seymour believes in honest , hard work and is against corruption.  Seymour will however, take campaign contributions from any fat cat that wants to give. Pictured below is Tigger One of Seymour's friends and a fat cat contributor.  Seymour knows the road to the White House will be expensive and burdonsome. If you would like to contribute, you can send your donation to :Seymour for President,  1026 Burnley Ct. Bensalem Pa. 19020. For $10.00 you get a Seymour for President Tee shirt. $25.00 gets a sweatshirt.   $75.00 gets both and your photo posted on this web site..

   Seymour will travel to have lunch or dinner with fat cats and other friends in the near future. The donations are  $500.00 a plate, you get your photo taken with Seymour. For $1000.00 Seymour will  sit at your table for five minutes to hear your views. A table can be purchased for $10,000. $50.0000 gets you 30 minutes with Seymour to share your views on Americas future with him. We will be entertaining suggestions for lunchoens for Seymour in the future. To coorespond with the campaign office or to help volenteer for Seymour, Seemoorecats@aol.com.

   Check back soon and send your check for your official Seymour merchandise today!. The road to the White House is now, for a better tomorrow!!!

Seymour's 2016 campaign website was not updated and I could not verify a running-mate for that election cycle. However, in that political season Seymour did file with the FEC as an Independent on Aug. 19, 2015. In 2020 Seymour's VP would be his "owner," Alex Gross. As for Lou, the canine Vice-President in the 2012 race, there is no additional information.

Election history: none

Other occupations: dog

Notes:
Another mystery third party VP.
Seymour Cats died on Oct. 17, 2020.

Darth Vader

 











Darth Vader, May 25, 1977- May 25, 1983 (Los Angeles, Calif.)

VP candidate for Independent (aka Grand Old Empire Party aka Concerned Citizens Party) (1984, 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024)

Running mate with nominee (1984, 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024): Darth Sidious (aka Sheev Palpatine aka the Emperor) (1977-1983)
Popular vote (1984, 2012, 2016, 2020): 0 (0.00%)
Electoral vote (1984, 2012, 2016, 2020): 0/538

The campaign (1984, 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024):

Sith Emperor Palpatine, address: 1 Empire Way, Death Star II, AS 99999, filed with the FEC for President on Mar. 19, 2016 as a member of the Concerned Citizens Party of Connecticut, a far-Right party that really exists.

It was yet another decentralized Star Wars spinoff campaign into electoral politics. The evil Palpatine was frequently touted, off and on since 1984, as a Presidential contender with Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker) as his running-mate. A sampling of their campaigning from a few sources--

Nov. 6, 2012
We will end unemployment. How will we do it? Do you have any idea how many people it takes to operate a Death Star?
And our foreign policy can be summed up in two words - Death Star !

April 12, 2015
Palpatine for President
The Palpatine and Vader combo have joined the candidates running for President of The United States of America.  Senator Palpatine said his first action as president would be to employ every unemployed citizen and work on rebuilding the Death Star.  Senator Palpatine also would like to see a new world order for a safer and more secure society.

July 14, 2016
It's time for real change...by Force if necessary. "You will vote for us!"

Nov. 17, 2016
We are disappointed in your lack of faith in the Sith and Dark Side of the Force.  We will continue to make our presence known.  Vote Palpatine-Vader 2020 and we promise to create millions of jobs with our first action to turn Earth's moon into the Death Star!

June 17, 2017
"People are comparing Trump to me...I find that incredibly insulting...I'm not nearly that evil and incompetent!" - Lord Vader


Vader himself was a frequent Presidential candidate. One of the more noteworthy efforts was a Vader/Skywalker Sith Party ticket presented in 2000.

Election history:
1980 - US President (Independent) - defeated
1988 - US President (Independent) - defeated
2000 - US President (Sith Party) - defeated
2008 - US President (Independent) - defeated
2012 - US President (Independent) - defeated
2016 - US President (Independent) - defeated
2020 - US President (Independent) - defeated
2024 - US President (Independent) - pending

Other occupations: fictitious character

Notes:
I managed to avoid all of the original Star Wars trilogy movies until the 1980s and that was enough for me. For the purposes of this blog I'll attempt to pretend the remainder of the franchise does not exist.

Sarah Louise Palin

 








 


Sarah Louise Palin, February 11, 1964 (Sandpoint, Idaho) -

VP candidate for Independent (2012)
VP candidate for Independent (aka Independent Party) (2016)

Running mate with nominee (2012): Michael Kazimer Baranowski (b. 1968)
Running mate with nominee (2016): Barry Lester Johnson (1950-2016)
Popular vote (2012, 2016): ? (0.00%)
Electoral vote (2012, 2016): 0/538

The campaign (2012):

Michael Baranowski, a Cincinnati resident who was a political science professor at Northern Kentucky University made an announcement (most likely tongue-in-cheek) on Facebook, Dec. 1, 2011--

I've decided to run for President. If elected, I promise to close our embassy in Iran (and, what the hell, in Cuba too). Sarah Palin will be my VP. We will seriously kick some foreign policy ass.

That post appeared to be the sole exploit of the Baranowski/Palin 2012 campaign. However, Baranowski did file with the FEC for US President on Feb. 13, 2016 under No Party Affiliation. Although I could not verify a running-mate for him in that one, on Mar. 26, 2016 Baranowski (a USMC vet) suggested himself as a potential VP for retired Marine General James Mattis in the event the latter decided to run for President.

The campaign (2016):

Barry Johnson filed with the FEC as an Independent for President on Aug. 5, 2014. He was originally headquartered in Junction City, Kan. but at some point relocated to Buffalo, Wyo.

Johnson launched an aggressive social media campaign, usually adorned in a cowboy hat with a crucifix attached in the front covering his long hair, a bolo tie, and a very serious demeanor. He also opened a campaign office in a stripmall in Junction City at the start of his campaign. In many cases his social media posts had links to Right wing polemicists and Fox News. Peppered in there were posts where the single Johnson was reaching out for female companionship. Some samples from his Facebook campaign site--

Starting in Oct. 2014 Johnson made cryptic references to how Obama "stole my blessings" somehow flipping the 2008 and 2012 elections. This very original election analysis would be a refrain for the remainder of his campaign--

Oct. 1, 2014

Trump ratchets up 'rigged election' claims, which Pence downplays
http://cnn.com/2016/10/15/politics/donald-trump-rigged-election-hillary-clinton/index.html
How can Don be President
Not trusting the Election


On Jan. 5, 2015 Johnson indicated former Gov. Sarah Palin was "my first choice for VP" and provided a link to her pontificating on Fox. Palin had been Sen. McCain's running-mate in 2008 and conventional wisdom has it that her lack of administrative experience combined with extreme pandering to the Christian far Right was one of the major factors in the Republican ticket's defeat that year.

Johnson was certainly not the first obscure Presidential candidate to select an unwitting celebrity or famous political figure as a running-mate. Given her iconic status with Tea Party conservatives, it is surprising no previous Independents had "nominated" her earlier. Palin probably had no idea she was "running" for VP a second time.

During the course of Johnson's campaign, Palin's stint as a pundit for Fox came to an end in 2015 when her contract was not renewed. Also in that year her book Sweet Freedom: A Devotional was published, a work linking Bible verses with politics.

In Jan. 2016 she endorsed Trump but interestingly that action did not later translate into a Cabinet or executive appointment. Some pundits felt Trump's hypersensitive reaction to criticism would not have tolerated an outspoken woman like Palin in his ranks, especially one who would have distracted the media spotlight and attention he so much craved.

Johnson died in Buffalo, Wyo. a week after the election, Nov. 15, 2016. If the Johnson/Palin ticket had emerged victorious on Election Day, the Electoral College would have faced an interesting set of decisions.

Election history:
1992-1996 - Wasilla, Alaska City Council (Nonpartisan)
1996-2002 - Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska (Nonpartisan)
2002 - Lt. Governor of Alaska (Republican) - primary - defeated
2006-2009 - Governor of Alaska (Republican)
2008 - US Vice-President (Republican) - defeated

Other occupations: Chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, sports reporter, author, political pundit, reality television host

Notes:
PNW trivia alert!! In 1984-1985 Palin was known as Sarah Heath and attended the University of Idaho in Moscow. At that same time I was working 7 miles away as a faculty librarian at Washington State University. Who knows? I could've bumped into her at Gambino's, the Nobby Inn, or Bookpeople.

Maty Schaefer

 

                                                                                  Schaefer


Maty Schaefer

VP candidate for Independent (2012)

Running mate with nominee: Jeff Allan Huettl (b. 1975)
Popular vote: ? (0.00%)
Electoral vote: 0/538

The campaign:

Jeff Huettl in the Stockbridge, Wis. area had something of a spontaneous campaign for President via Facebook as the 2012 election season heated up--

Aug. 11, 2012
So Romney has chosen Paul Ryan as his running mate... Well this really helps make my choice clearer in November... I can now choose between a hypocritical socialist pig with a brilliant young running mate which will leave a huge irreplaceable hole in the House Budget Committee, or the incumbent socialist pig with a drooling potty mouth idiot for a running mate.  Hmm... yep, looks like I'm still gonna be writing myself in.  Wish me luck!


He filled in the blanks in the comment section--

Alright, now that it appears I have some support, I should probably share some of my views and objectives, I will start by answering some typically asked questions....
Q: I am poor, what are you going to do for me?
A: Nothing! Get out and get a job and provide for yourself. It's not the federal governments job to "provide" for anyone.
Q: Am I going to get my Social Security when I retire?
A: Nope, well... Not unless you are retiring in my first month of office. See to me the Social Security act of 1935 was an unconstitutional law. It is not the federal governments job to control your retirement age or retirement funds... It's yours! After I am president, every person that has put any money into SSI, will get their money back out in one un-taxable lump sum... If you have paid in $7,800, you will get $7,800, if you paid in $78,000, you will get $78,000. I recommend investing this money for your future, but it's your money... do as you wish with it. Your retirement will now be your responsibility and thanks to the likes of LBJ and Bill Clinton, SSI has became an unfunded liability, since we're unfunding it, we should 'unfund' it back to the people that paid into it.
Q: Our economy has stalled, people don't have money to spend, how do you plan on boosting economic growth?
A: See answer above.
Q: How do you plan on helping out poor nations?
A: I don't! If you are unaware, our nation is over $16 Trillion in debt and rising! Not one damn penny will go into a foreign country until our debt is paid off.
Q: Won't this make foreign countries upset?
A: Don't care. Policies set in place such as The Camp David Accord is ridiculous! I don't care if Egypt and Israel hate each other and I sure the hell am not going to allow our debt stricken country continue to pay them Billions of dollars each year for them to be pretend friends with each other.
Q: How do you feel about gay marriage?
A: What the hell does this have to do with politics, especially at the Federal level? I wish ALL people happiness and joy. If your state and church allow gay marriage, enjoy your wedding day!
Q: How do feel about abortion?
A: Again... What the hell does this have to do with politics? On a personal level I am opposed to abortion, but abortion is an issue that is best left to every individual person to decide. If you need help deciding what to do, seek guidance from family or a church... Not the Government!
Thanks for taking the time to read a couple of my thoughts, obviously I am not a presidential contender, but some day maybe we will have a real person for a candidate. Maybe we will have someone that will be a president for the people of this great Country and not for the filthy lobbyists that fund campaigns. Ever notice that it doesn't matter what side your on... Republican, Democrat, all of these presidents and congressmen talk their game, but they all do the same damn thing! The U.S. Hasn't been debt free since the Andrew Jackson administration back in 1836 and EVERY SINGLE PRESIDENT SINCE HAS PROMISED TO LOWER THE DEBT AND THEY DID JUST THE OPPOSITE!

Not sure if Ron Paul is still gonna be in it in November. I'm certainly a supporter of his, but American media has shunned him away. I know he's still campaigning, he was in Florida this weekend, but he hasn't had a money bomb in months and I think his funds are running out. Even if he does drop out, I may still write him in, or I may vote for Gary Johnson, I may actually even write myself in, hard to say right now, but I can guarantee that I will not vote for any of the socialist idiots that the media has forced upon us.

Jeff Huettl
Technically you are correct. Romney isn't even the actual GOP candidate yet, but you know as well as I do what the media is doing. Turn on the news... All they talk about is Romney vs. Obama. The lobbyist cockroaches that own the media are also the same ones that get presidents elected. Unfortunately our society just follows the lead of the media. If Fox news said to vote for Paris Hilton, the dumb bimbo might actually have a chance of being our next Commander in Chief. Kinda scary, but it's true. Everyone keeps arguing the same crap... I'm a republican, I'm a democrat, I'm better than you, my candidate is cooler than yours, etc.... Everyone needs to stop! They are all arguing the same points they typically already agree with. Todays Democrats and Republicans are Socialists, but our society isn't yet smart enough to change that, instead we keep electing the same damn asshole every 4 years and we argue about how awesome they were or are. Yep, over 100 years of pricks devaluing our currency and running up our debt... definitely some winners in that group!

In what could be considered an example of political transparency, the selection of his friend Maty Schaefer as a running-mate was revealed in this public exchange--

Maty Schaefer
If you have Department of State open.. I'll take it..

Jeff Huettl
Heck Maty, I think you'd be better suited for VP. Never mind your age, the 12th amendment and Article 2, section 1 of the Constitution are just recommendations aren't they? I mean heck, every other president doesn't view much of the Constitution as law, why should I? So if you want in for VP, your my guy.

Maty Schaefer
I'll believe it when the SS shows up and a press release is issued.. šŸ˜‰

Jeff Huettl
Press release?!?! What could possibly be more authentic than Facebook? Relax man, when we get elected, I'll handle everything... Oh and as far as that whole age thing... yeah, I'm gonna need you to get rid of all copies of your birth certificate, you know, kinda like Obama style. As far as the Secret Service, apparently they're doing their job. You don't see them do you? That's right my friend, they're even serving you, the future VP in secret.

Maty Schaefer
LMFAO..

The Huettl/Schaefer ticket, in event of their victory, would have encountered the potential Constitutional problem of being residents of the same state in addition to the VP being under age 35, according to a comment made by the standard-bearer. As it was, they were not on any ballots or registered as write-ins.

In the next cycle Huettl took it up a notch. Even though I cannot find any mention of a running-mate for the 2016 election, his campaign is worth covering as it serves as a more planned out extension of his 2012 run.

Huettl filed with the FEC on Oct. 20, 2015 as a Non-Party candidate for President. Earlier on Sept. 27 he had posted--

A few days ago I announced my candidacy for the upcoming presidential election.  Most if not all of you I assume view this as an arbitrary act of humor, I can assure you it is not.  I will be writing myself in for president.  I don't expect anyone to actually write me in, but I sincerely hope you consider doing so or at the very least vote outside of the 2 party debacle.  I am in no way a polished politician, I'm far from wealthy and I ask that you please keep your money, I'm not looking for any campaign contributions.  If you have money to spare, spend it on loved ones or give it to someone in need, not ANY fool politician.

My agenda is simple... Restore America by simply returning our country back to the states and the people.  Federal government has grossly overstepped its boundaries ever since its inception.  Our forefathers gave us a beautiful set of laws through the Constitution to regulate government, NOT the people.  However, our forefathers made one huge mistake... They created a document that is worthless if the lawmakers can not be held accountable for disregarding their own laws.  Even our own hero forefathers went against their own constitution, just look at Thomas Jefferson's Louisiana purchase.  I guess our 3rd president didn't need congressional approval for a 15 million  dollar purchase, oh that's right, he called it a 'treaty', how cute.  

I'm sick of all of the liars, thieves, murderers, that run for office every four years.  These cockroaches don't have your best interests in mind, none of them do, none of them ever have and they certainly never will.  These are evil subhumans that are only concerned with financial benefit through corporate interests.  So If you think your vote in a 2 party system matters, you're wrong, your favorite president or your favorite 2 party candidate doesn't give a rats behind about you, they never have and they absolutely never will.

So what am I going to do?  Good question.  I see a severe financial problem in our nation which to me results in our biggest burden.  We are trillions in debt and many trillions more of debt exists in unfunded liabilities.  Our federal reserve is ran by the wealthiest banks and our currency is a fiat based currency which is backed by only debt and fear.  It exists because the central banking system says it does and through financial kickbacks your government allows its sustainability.  Your money in your purse and wallet is useless, it holds no intrinsic value, yet it's what backs nearly every nations currency in the world.  Anyone see a problem with this?  First thing that must be done is an audit of the federal reserve, we must find out where our money is and how much debt we actually hold.  Upon completion of the audit the federal reserve must be shut down by any means necessary while simultaneously implementing a new currency standard that is backed by precious metal and is strictly overseen by an appointed committee.  

Taxation is and always will be a necessary evil.  However tax code loop holes which allow everyone from individuals to large corporations to get rewarded with government kickbacks is ludicrous.  A flat rate tax system must be implemented for EVERYONE to share the tax burden, not just the middle class.  So yes dirtbag corporate business owner guy, if you make 2 billion dollars and the tax rate is 15%, you will pay 300 million.  Boo hoo, let me guess, you'll never be able to create jobs when you make only 1.7 billion, screw off a-hole.  Speaking of jobs; why do we make so much crap over seas?!?!  Well, to begin just look at all of the American job crippling policies that have been implemented over the years... NAFTA, CAFTA, permanent normal trade relations or PNTR with China, the latest is the Obama administration's brain fart in the TPP agreement, and many other free-trade agreements. These deals destroy American jobs by shifting work overseas to nations which fail to provide worker protections and they pay extremely low wages.  Corporations only care about profit, not people, I know this well, I work for one.  It's time to stop these crippling free trade agreements and promote American jobs for American people to self sustain our nation's own demands.

What about social issues?  It's time for the federal government to stay out of everyone's life.  Actually it's always been that time.  The 9th and 10th amendments are rules established for the government to stay out of your life.  What happened?  Topics such as gay marriage or even straight marriage should never hold any quarter within the framework of governance.  It's time for these issues to be returned to the states and the people.  So don't look at me for disapproval of gay marriage.  If 2 people are in love and want to be married, you have my blessing.  Don't ever look for me or the Federal government to legislate rules preventing or allowing any personal issue.

What about illegal immigration?  Well, we could build a wall like the big hairy rich guy Donald Trump said right.  Lol, what a tool.  Look, America is nothing but people born from immigration and Native American Indians.  I believe anyone that wants to live in this great nation should be able to... Legally.  If we stop sending our jobs overseas, there will be plenty of jobs, if we stop the abuses of eminent domain and reverse much of the antiquities act, we can return much of the 28% of federally owned land back to the people in order to disperse the population over wider areas.  If people want to come to America, they can do it legally, there will be no tax breaks or free housing, they're on their own, much like our ancestors.  As far as the borders, more than 150 countries have active duty soldiers in training facilities around the world; why?  For strategic defense positioning, right?  Maybe I'm just to naive but I'm just not sure how intruding another nations territory defends our own territory.  How about we go back to just simply defending our nation and its borders.  I don't see how more than 80,000 soldiers in just Eastern Asia alone is defending America.  If we worry about our country and our borders, the need to have soldiers around the world becomes silly.  Bring them home to training facilities on American soil near and on our borders.  In order to get by Mr. Trump's wall you will need a ladder, in order to get through 150,000 American soldiers, you need... well, good luck with that.

What about our nations defense?  I am a strong supporter of defending OUR nation.  Spending billions each year on other countries is insane.  Paying nations like Egypt and Israel yearly through the camp David Accord to maintain peace is just incomprehensible.  We have debt and we have our own people to worry about, so sorry world, we can't afford to fight your battles and don't ever bring your battles here, we will end you.  As far as militarizing police forces, I am completely opposed to federal money being spent on intruding people's rights.  The 2nd amendment was written to allow state formed militias to overthrow unjust governments, this right shall exist as it was meant to be.  No police department ever needs armored tanks to pull over a shoplifter in my opinion, but for me this is a state issue, if a state wants to buy tanks, do whatever floats your boat, but don't look toward the federal government for financial assistance, we're broke, remember.  I will always support and honor every right within the Constitution and its Bill of Rights.  A President shouldn't figure out how to get around these rules, they should figure out how to honor them and offer to educate the public to embrace them.  The best defense in my opinion is a nation of armed citizens ready to defend their own territory from ANY abuser.

So why run for president when I know I'll lose?  A vote for someone that doesn't have my best interest in mind is to me a wasted vote.  I can think of no one that my ideology is lined up with more than me.  I know I'm not going to win, heck, I know my only vote will come from me, but I'm okay with this.  I'm at peace knowing that I will not be casting a vote for corruption, thievery, war, poverty, oppression and hate.  I see a nation that I'm so proud to be a part of, yet I'm embarrassed of much of who we have became.  We live in a profound multi dimensional society of ignorance.  We stare at our phones not our spouse.  We build multi million dollar high school sports complex's, yet don't want to pay our high school teachers.  We watch television not our children.  We passionately defend our favorite politician, of which has no care for us.  I can't fix anything by writing myself in, but when I walk away from the voting booth next November, I can rest assured I at least tried.  To me, a vote for Jeff Huettl is a win for us.

On Oct. 25. 2016 he posted--

Only 2 weeks until election time.  I guess since I'm running for President, I should probably say some things.  If your mind is made up and you're voting for either Trump or Clinton, this message isn't for you.  I can't compete with the  media circus, nor do I wish to.  This message isn't for the few Stein or Johnson supporters out there either.  This isn't even for those of you that are still completely undecided.
This message is for those of you that are sick of it, so sick of it that you're planning on skipping vote day, those of you that realize your vote truly doesn't matter in a corrupt political system and those that truly understand both political platforms are on the same team only placating to globalist interests.  I don't have any fancy slogans, as far as I'm concerned America has been great for centuries.  Politicians can't make it great again, it already is great and it has absolutely nothing to do with politicians.  Teachers, firefighters, carpenters, pilots, doctors, nurses, machinists, architects, painters, retail employees, police officers, electricians, restaurant employees,  military personnel, bus drivers, janitors, chemists, servers, post office employees, scientists, masons, assemblers, semi drivers, farmers, factory workers, bar tenders, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and children are just a few examples of what makes our nation great.  NOT any politician!  Our greatness is found within ourselves, it's not a granted gift from a political leader.  

The only wasted vote is voting for someone you don't agree with because you feel they are the lesser evil.  If you're not comfortable with either candidate for whatever reason, don't vote for them.  Article II section 1 of the constitution defines the prerequisites to become president... you must be at least 35 years old, must be living in the United States for at least 14 years and you must be a natural born citizen of the United States.  That's it, that's what qualifies nearly anyone to become president.  So if you're unhappy with your illusional choices, don't skip voting day, let your voice be heard.  Proudly write yourself in, write your uncle in, a parent, an influential teacher, good friend, neighbor or even me.  Send a clear message on voting day that you're sick and tired of the games, corruption and lies that are perpetually destroying the good that our own society offers.  Proudly cast your vote for a winner that you chose, not an evil loser that you've been told you must choose from.  

Theodore Roosevelt once said that presidents are chosen, not elected.  So maybe your vote ultimately will not count, but a non vote can never be counted.  So make them count the votes for those that YOU proudly chose.

Despite all of the political corruption, war, poverty and evil brought on by government, America is still a great country.  All of us owe a duty to each other to continually try to make this world a better place.  Not sure where to begin... Getting out to vote November 8th is a great start.


Huettl was not registered as a write-in in any state as far as I can ascertain.

Electoral vote: 0/538

The campaign:

Jason Reilly of Jersey City, N.J. began his first of three runs for the White House in 2010. Campaigning chiefly on Facebook, his promises included--

Reilly '12 the hope, the change, the ipads


The electioneering sort of faded out after the initial burst of energy. Reilly and Acosta appeared to be either high school or early college students. Acosta actually started his college career the same year the campaign began. He eventually became known as a musical artist under the name Murdock.

In the event of a Reilly/Acosta victory their youth and residence in the same state would have posed significant Constitutional barriers in obtaining office. Reilly also posted some sporadic statements regarding his 2016 and 2020 campaigns, but no running-mate was mentioned.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

 





Neil deGrasse Tyson, October 5, 1958 (New York, N.Y.) -

VP candidate for Independent (2012, 2016)

Running mate with nominee (2012, 2016): Kevin Duane West (b. 1974)
Popular vote (2012, 2016): ? (0.00%)
Electoral vote (2012, 2016): 0/538

The campaigns (2012, 2016):

Kevin West, a Texas transplant in [PNW trivia alert!!!] Klamath Falls, Oregon has made three runs for the White House and has another one pending, all of them as an Independent candidate.

West filed with the FEC on Feb. 12, 2012, Sept. 28, 2016, Mar. 23, 2017, and Mar. 3, 2021. It appears that in none of these election cycles was his name on any ballot nor was he registered as a write-in in any state.

Much of the online presence of West's electioneering has been wiped or is scattered so determining the identity of his running-mates is challenging. Although West indicated on Facebook he wanted the actor Morgan Freeman for Vice-President on July 18, 2012, he switched to the celebrated scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson by Sept. 4. On the next election West stated on Twitter Feb. 10, 2014, "I've chosen my Vice President for the 2016 Presidential Elections. Neil deGrasse Tyson," although a year later he said Tyson had been demoted to a short list, so I'm not sure what to make about that. A Facebook post on Oct. 29, 2020 demonstrated how to write-in "Kevin West/Tacos" on the ballot. I hope I live long enough to cover that last ticket but reporting on 2016 will probably take me the rest of my life at this rate.

West actually began his 2012 campaign before the 2008 election had taken place. As early as August 2008 his campaign website announced "Kevin West for President in 2012. I'm coming to help you America! Hold On!"

By the end of 2008 his message had been articulated--

Kevin West for President in 2012
    
I’m running for President in 2012 for the sole purpose of changing the world to use water for fuel. I see a lot of BS in politics because the politicians don’t do their own research. I haven’t seen a politician make the majority happy yet. And that is ridiculous when they lie to the majority to get in office.

We should already have damn near close to free electricity, free heat, free cold, free health care, free fuel for our vehicles, and education that is off the chart! What is the hold up fools?

I’m not a liar. And I will get in your face if you can’t make a rational decision from doing adequate research on the subject. Stupidity shouldn’t be voted in to politics, it should be chased out with a stick.

I'll be running as both Republican and Democrat because both parties speak of convergence. Here is the parties chance to prove they want to come together.


I will donate my Presidential salary to charity. I’ll update the nation on the progress and situations biweekly (or daily if the need arises). I’ll make sure the newest technology the government has is released to the public for production. I’ll stop the internal deterioration of the USA and repair our infrastructure to be 1000% better than it is now. Our education system is screwed up and should be replaced with structures familiar in universities and graduate schools. We must not let the children leave public school without having skills and high confidence levels to achieve goals using their skills. The kids aren't stupid so lets stop teaching them to be stupid. I don’t need a majority vote from Congress to make progress, all I have to do is make a phone call to get the job done right the first time. Congress is out of date and out of touch.

There will be no wars in the 4 years I am President. And I'll stop any war we are in. We don't have to be in a war to control the middle east. All we have to do is educate them. But we can't do that if we can't educate our selves.

There will be 1$ national health care, almost free electricity, free fuel for your water powered vehicles, no taxes for 4 years for anyone making less than 100,000$ a year. Taxing the poor doesn't help squat!

I’m not going to make a lot of political friends, but I promise to make the American public more happy than any other President. The whole economic situation will improve to a level never seen before. And the World will follow in the right direction as long as we can show the path is safe to travel.


And I can do all this and more in 4 years or less. America is ready for a positive change immediately, not something that is going to take 20 years (that is bs).

Time to follow a real leader…Kevin West for President in 2012


By 2011 he had developed a more visually interesting website, which seemed to remain unchanged until it vanished some time in mid-2016. Using the slogan "Technicians, not Politicians," West's message included--

I'm tired of being complacent and it feeling like a slap in the face every time I turn on the TV. America is not interested in the political crap, we just want the job done right the first time. And if you ask nice then you will ask twice. So here we are again asking to stop the war, give us free fuel, give us clean electricity, and to give us life saving technology of the kind that will save the world. Demand Your Freedom America!

We bailed out the Auto Industry, the Airline Industry, the Insurance Industry, the Housing and Banking Industry, and we have been fighting 3 wars for 30 years and now we have nothing left except bills. But Congress let the Technology Industry fail! We depend on technology to outgrow any industry and save the world with its hidden treasures and they let it fail. Thanks Congress!!

The Media refuses to focus on any other subject except what is on the other news channels. We can't get common sense reporting out of many of them. There is no real News anymore, just pretty reporters reading propaganda from a prompter.


The time for change was 30 years ago. It didn't happen. Are you ready to make the change or vote in another liar? Don't expect a Politician to change the situation. But a Technician will change a lot of things. I have told hundreds of Politicians to give us free fuel and free electricity, to implement new health care technology, to stop killing the poor and saving the rich...and they never respond. Now we live in an economic slave nation with no backup plan. America, I'm done with the liars in Washington... Please join me in putting a stop to the Politicians by voting for Kevin West for President.

It sickens me to see smart people go bad, bad people get rich, and hard working people get taxed more. I will stop the separation of commonsense and morals. It's not about religion because so many religions are good. It is about education. Education should cost less and be more with a lot more to gain. Technology and Education is going to save us, not politics.

I don't know why every U.S. Veteran doesn't get a free home? We have so many that are empty! It is a disgrace the way the government treats the vets and current military personnel. All while the war mongering politicians get big homes, great retirement, and a pat on the back!! I'm proud that you haven't lost your temper on them yet America.

All I ever here is bla bla bla from politicians because nothing ever gets done in Washington. So much cry baby B.S. politics going on it is robbing America of its precious time. I'm not a lawyer, I'm a red blooded American. So expect fairness and equality when I'm President. I'm going to be irate with the politicians by pointing out ignorance and confusion as their model for progress. We have overcome inequality, racism, poverty, and a lot of ignorance as a whole nation while battling the politicians to get their heads out of their asses. I say we push forward out of the imaginary political rut and make a regular guy a President. Someone who isn't impressed with sex, drugs, politics, or big oil money but would rather leave a permanent positive mark on the world using common sense and technology.

West had a special interest in the concept of using water for fuel and his current LinkedIn account lists him as "R&D Director for WaterforFuel.Com"-- however that website seems moribund and in 2011. It does have a "Kevin West for President" banner and the premise statement--

Hydrogen : Natural Fuel of the Universe

Life as we know it needs water. Water has 2.5 times more Hydrogen than gasoline or diesel. Water falls from the sky and comes out of the ground naturally. The Human body is 60% water and the Earth is 70% covered in water. When radio telescopes search for alien life they look for signs of water and start searching there first. Faraday wrote it requires 96Kj of electrical energy to split water into HHO with an increase of 286Kj of heat energy created when Hydrogen is recombined to make water. Gasoline and Diesel are around 90 Octane, but HHO is 130 Octane. Perfect for internal combustion engines, welding torches, Bar-B-Q grills, water purification, and energy generation as it is the only element that gives you more heat output than is needed in electrical input.

We invite you to extinguish your fuel costs, clean your engine, and help remove pollution from our air supply. Stand up and resist the bad economy and rising fuel costs. Use the Laws of Physics of water discovered by Faraday over 200 years ago. Freedom is waiting for you...


Any comment by Tyson on twice being West's VP, or indeed if he was even aware of it, has been elusive. However, on May 9, 2016, Tyson quipped on Twitter, "Candidate Endorsements matter if you'd rather have a famous person, an organization, or media entity do your thinking for you."

Election history: none

Other occupations: astrophysicist, author, lecturer, Director of the Hayden Planetarium at the Rose Center for Earth and Space, television host, Commission on the Future of the United States Aerospace Industry, President's Commission on Implementation of United States Space Exploration Policy, Planetary Society

Notes:
Kevin Duane West should not be confused, as the FEC has apparently done, with Kevin Anthony West of Pea Ridge, Ark., who ran for President under the Kevin for President Party in 2016.

Daniel D. Robbins

 



Daniel D. Robbins, September 14, 1959? (Roseburg, Oregon) -

VP candidate for Independent (aka APV Party) (2016, 2020)

Running mate with nominee (2016,2020): Mark Clayton Pendleton (b. 1954)
Popular vote (2016, 2020): ? (0.00%)
Electoral vote: 0/538

The campaign (2016):

Mark Pendleton of Salt Lake City had filed with the FEC on Jan. 1, 2012 as an Independent for President. No sign of a running-mate in that one or that he made any ballot or was a registered write-in although Pendleton later asserted he "got over a 1000 write-ins and if the Lord is willing a[n]d tarries I will be on the 2016 ballot." At the end of that year, Dec. 27, 2012, he filed again as an Independent for the 2016 election. His running-mate was Daniel Robbins, place of residence not supplied but circumstantial evidence points to Utah as well.

His 2012 website included an autobiography--

I was born 1 July 1954 to Leon Roy and Barbara May Pendleton. The forth of four children we lived for most of my life in Richmond, CA. My siblings are Leon Roy, Gary F. and Alan C. My early childhood I went to school to Lincoln Elementary in Richmond, CA, Roosevelt Jr. High School in Richmond, CA. My experience in high school was split first attending John F. Kennedy High School in Richmond and finishing at Harry Ells High School also in Richmond, CA.

My hobbies included various science and math related activities as well as martial arts. Hobbies included, among other things, rocketry, aeronautics, light and optics (lasers and telescopes). I was an avid swimmer and played various sports. I took a Brown Belt in Judo and and an Orange Belt (instructor's rating) in Bok Fu.I also studied Kung Fu (Jeet Kun Do). I am not much of a sports spectator/fan, but do enjoy participating. I have started several businesses one of which is the focus of the "I Want To Buy Your Vote!"

I tutored/taught Chemistry and Physics at the high school from which I had graduated for a while. I worked as custodian at the Watergate Apartment Complex (West coast counterpart of that during the Nixon era) for a year before returning back to school at Contra Costa Community College in San Pablo, CA where I began my studies in Business Administration. It was during my tenure there where my religious experience ensued.

My work experience spans 40 plus years, 24 plus of those include teaching

I became a child of God on 4 August 1974. I subsequently completed studies at Contra Costa Community College and went to begin my studies for the ministry at California Baptist University (then CBC) in 1975 after being Licensed to Preached by Clinton Avenue Baptist Church. During my tenure at CBU (CBC) I became the Interim Pastor of West Whittier Baptist Church in Whittier California. I stayed there for 9 months and moved back to the Bay Area to begin studies at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary (GGBTS). I graduated twice with the M.Div (1980) and the Th.M. (1983). Between 1981 and 1982 I served as the Minister of Youth and Evangelism at the 1st Baptist Church of Granger (West Valley Baptist Church 3831 S. 2700 West). Being led back to Mill Valley to complete studies in Comparative Theology an Philosophy I served on numerous evangelism teams in various states.

Upon graduation I left GGBTS and returned to Salt Lake City, Utah where I began a work in Rose Park, UT. I was the keynote speaker at various workshops and in various consultative capacities for the subsequent 26 years. I have written numerous books on a variety of theological topics.

On 10 January 1987 I married Donna M. Sanchez and became an instant father with the union with Donna who had 4 children Gale, Nicole, Rudy, and Ricky John, and later the arrival of David E. (1988) and Nina M. (1989). We now boast 20 PLUS  grandchildren.

I filed for bankruptcy in the early 1990s due to extenuating circumstances that ensued when trying to assist one of my stepchildren. In short he was arrested and tried for a felony. I borrowed quite a sum of money from those Payday loan pirates. For a full discussion you may contact me through email at mark.pendleton84103@gmail.com. In 2010 I applied for un-employment, unsuccessfully, because I had been a teacher. The state in which I was residing at the time categorized Substitute Teachers in the same class as Full Time Teachers. The result that although as a Sub I was temporary labor the State Legislature equated temporary labor for education the same as full-time contracted labor and all I earned was not qualified and therefore I could not apply for compensation . . . they wouldn't even qualify me for Food Stamps. All this even though I had no income over the summer. The details of this are available upon request. But the long and short of it all is I know what it is like to be denied government assistance, what it is like to be in need. What it is to have absolutely nothing as well as to be in affluence. These experience qualify me in all areas of the social economic structure and help me to identify on all levels with Americans.

Why I am I telling you all this and willing to expose myself completely to you. There are three reasons. The first is that I don't want to put on any airs and I don't have anything to hide. This brings us to the second reason and that being that as I gain notoriety and influence I want to intercept any of my opponents in trying to use my past against me in trying to say that I am hiding something. As I said, I want to be as transparent as possible and I am working to that end. The third reason, and perhaps the most important of which is so that you know that I am truly from the ranks of ALL America. I, probably, am the only candidate that can personally identify with every socio-economic class in the United States. I know what it is like to be in want as I do to know what it is like to have plenty. With this as part of my resume you know that I have the best knowledge, gained through experience, to be the best representative for the American people. My candidacy is about EMPOWERING the American people, not about centralizing that power in the hands of elected representatives. If I am elected I am going to expect Americans to assist in the governance of America. John F. Kennedy said on numerous occasions: "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can dio for your country."  Well, if elected, that will be the focus of my administration, getting you involved in the running of YOUR country. Taking it back from the politicians and getting it on the right tract. I will seek to gain your approval and most importantly your assistance in getting through Congress the necessary things that will make this country better and great. I know that if elected, Congress is going to fight me every step of the way because I will be working to minimizing its power and getting it back to being what it is SUPPOSE to be . . . your representative and not your dictators.

In 2002 I began feeling the pulling of Holy Spirit in the direction of evangelism again and began interpreting the calling I was receiving. It has blossomed into what is now known as Paradigm Ministries International which is a totally self-sufficient ministry dedicated to presenting a clear and positive message of Jesus Christ. The ministry is dedicated to giving and not receiving and is therefore committed to accomplishing the commission thoroughly without accepting or asking for gifts and/or contribution of any kind.

As for political aspirations I became disenchanted with what was going on in our country. Especially with the current administration. I approached Mr. Obama with a letter written in 2009 explaining that I could fix the problem with the economy. It was either ignored, rejected, or simply not even looked at. I also presented this information with several news and media providers and met the same response. To me this said that those who had were really not interested in finding a solution to the economic woes of America and so I decided to do something about it. I believe in America and know that my initial program will fix the economy. But that is only the beginning. I want to fix the entire country, specifically the federal government. My platform reflects this and I am asking the American people to take a chance on themselves and America and open themselves to something other than Party Politics. Remember, this country was founded by Patriots and NOT BY Career Politicians. If you are of the mistaken impression that the political structure is not viewed as a career then just consider your situation if you are NOT a business owner. Question: "How do you AS AN EMPLOYEE get a raise?" Now consider how Congress ANNUALLY votes ITSELF a raise. If I am not mistaken don't the elected reresentatives WORK FOR US! That is one of the things I, with YOUR help hope to rectify when elected.

I am seeking only one term and hope to exercise the full authority and support of the American people in favor of America.


Much of the online presence of the Pendleton 2016 campaign has eluded archiving. There is a reference to his "APV Party" but the meaning of the acronym remains mysterious [not to be confused with the AVP, Approval Voting Party]. His Facebook page during that era seemed more interested in alternative currencies and complicated get-rich schemes than in electioneering--

I neglected to mention. If you are a US citizen I need you to let me pay you $25,000 per yesr. THIS IS A FREE PROGRAM! But I need 1 million Americans involved to make it work. This program WILL end the recession and keep it from virtually ever happening again. the website is jobs4profit-plus.web.com. It will cost you nothing. Check it out.

Pendleton, who at the time was working at Paradigm Ministries International, had a very hard to follow financing plan with the hook "I want to buy your vote" and "Contribute without contributing."

It appears the Pendleton/Robbins ticket was not to be found on any ballot, nor did they seem to be registered as write-ins in any state.

The campaign (2020):

Pendleton and Robbins officially announced their 2020 Presidential campaign on Nov. 5, 2019.

Robbins, who gave himself the label of "Libertarian," provided an autobiography on the campaign webpage--

My name is Daniel D. Robbins. Born in Roseburg, Oregon and raised in a nearby small logging town, I grew up with the quality influence and moral code of my Grandmother and Grandfather. My grandparents were adults during the depression and helped my mother raise me by old west rules of respect for each other and a sense of pride in hard work and a job well done.  

Everybody knew my grandparents and they knew our neighbors. Knowing each other in a small town and knowing all the neighbor kids didn't stop the occasional switch to the backside from my friends mom if I got out of line and another switch waiting when I got home. I learned what was right and what was wrong from my grandparents and a small town full of honest, hard working, and proud people. Small town living gave me a sense of responsibility for myself and my actions as well as a sense of responsibility for helping my neighbors when they needed a helping hand.

My mother was a single mom raising 3 kids by the time I was 4 years old. Life was hard, but my mother worked hard to put food on the table and Grandma and Grandpa helped where they could. We were poor enough that sometimes we only had enough for one meal a day. But that was the incentive. Work and be part of the community or go hungry. The fact that we didn't starve is testament to how poverty wasn't so bad without the government handouts.  Those were tough times, but they made strong people and strong communities.

I went to a small High School and graduated with Thirty-six Seniors. We were all pretty much poor, but it never mattered to most of us.  We had no idea what racism was and the 2 adopted North Korean kids in my nearly all white country school never were considered anything else other than classmates and friends. The idea that their skin color meant anything was foreign to us. The things that were important were simple. Learn your math and how to read and write. A strong sense of sports and sportsmanship were next on that list. Teachers doubled as coaches and were dedicated to the kids, not to a union. Money was in short supply for our schools, but it was spent on a library full  of books, not on resource officers and 3 meals a day for the underprivileged. We had milk and the option of a cafeteria lunch. Parents had to be responsible for taking care of their children not the State.

I got my first job during the summer when I was 6 years old. I had to get up at 5 o'clock in the morning and was in the bean fields by 6 o'clock helping my mother pick string beans until 5 o'clock in the evening. I soon was picking cherries and apples on my own and did so until I left home at 17 years old. When I was 14 I used an axe to clear trees on ranches, worked on a chicken farm cleaning the chicken dropping from the coups, stretched fences, and bucked hay from sun up until sun down. I even pumped gas for free only getting paid with tips from the customers. Hard work was the recipe for success and the idea that someone owed me a living was never a thought.

I volunteered for the Air Force within a few days after turning 17 years old. For me, that was the only way I could go to college. I was trained as a mechanic  and later helped train officers in the survival school that was just off base. The Air Force is where I learned about racism and bigotry. I found out very quickly that I was both a racist and a bigot specifically because I was white. I was able to make some really great friends of all races and fell in love with a beautiful young woman, but had to break it off because her family didn't approve of me being white. Hard lessons, but valuable, and I never became so cynical that I couldn't see beyond race and concentrate on the character of the individual. I am proud to say I continue to hold these values as core values in my life today.

I went to college my first year in Chicago. It was a small Liberal Arts College and a Seminary. I learned so much from that environment and learned firsthand how harsh people can be in the big city. I would have stayed, but I contracted Hepatitis and dropped out until I started up again at Boise State University.

I have continued my education in several disciplines of Economics and Finance. I land firmly on the side of Austrian and Chicago Economics and believe vehemently that Keynesian Economics and Central Banks such as the Federal Reserve have destroyed the dollar and the economic powerhouse that used to be the United States. They are the only reason it now requires both parents to work to raise a family. The rest of the destruction of the family unit has be decimated by government handouts and nanny state regulations and laws.

I have worked hard my whole life and can say that I have been successful. I started a computer repair business twenty five years ago and although I am mostly retired from it, I have customers that won't go anywhere else. I have never been rich, but I feel as though I could have been if that had have been what I dedicated my life to.  But, I am also a proud husband and a father to 7 wonderful children. I am proud of them and continue to hope for their continued health, happiness, and success.

I am a dedicated patriot to these United States of America. I am a strict Constitutionalist and believe that it is more relevant today than when it was first written. I believe the size of Federal Government and the power it now has taken is now the greatest threat to the liberty and freedom of all Americans. We are being destroyed from within and it needs to change. I believe in "We the People..." and I think we need to change the direction we are moving in. I believe we can make the United States strong by making the individual strong and independent. We must take responsibility for ourselves and our actions. We must reach out and become a nation of neighbors. We depend on the government to take care of us and we now have this sense of entitlement that just because we breathe we deserve to be taken care of. Well, I think we all need to carry our own weight and help only those that can't. I believe that a true patriot is a person that is willing to stand up to the oppressive government and just say no.

We have a lot of work to do. But, I believe it is a noble task and I believe it only takes a few voices that speak the truth to start a movement that can spread from shore to shore and get this nation back on track using the best of the values from our history to become the greatest nation on earth once again.  


The Pendleton/Robbins platform included--
-Opposed to using the Constitution to enforce the rights of special groups, particularly in the case of same sex marriage. "Donald Trump of the current Administration is purposed to make America great again. A position with which I whole heartily agree. Too long has the needs of the country gone the way of self-seeking interest groups or complacent politician rather than in the best interests of the Country. If this Country is to be Great again it is going to have to treat the Constitution as the guide in which it was intended and not as the floor mat the Federal Government has made it."
-Create a Constitutional amendment protecting the right to privacy.
-Repeal Obamacare.
-Curb the influence of "Big-Pharma."
-Regulate credit collecting agencies.
-"The Tax Code is too complicated and cumbersome and basically forces the average American to look outside of their own abilities and resources to complete, therefor I am proposing the re-structuring of the Code completely and establishing a flat tax of 0% for individuals making under $25,000.00; 10% for ALL individuals at $25,000.00 and above (5% may be returned because of charitable contribution), and 15% business and corporate (with up to 5% reclaimable due to charitable contributions). and for dismantling of the IRS superstructure as currently operating. This constitutes a total elimination of all superfluous taxes such as the inheritance tax (which essentially is double taxation) and estate tax."
-Eradicate diplomatic immunity.
-End dependence on fossil fuels.
-Dissolve the US Dept. of Education.
-Regulate the insurance industry.
-Reduce Federal salaries by 25%
-Term limits for US House and Senate.
-Federal judicial positions should be elected and not appointed for life.
-"NO MORE NUMBERS GAMES AMERICAN POLITICAL STRUCTURE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A NUMBERS RACKET (PROPAGANDA) AND THAT RACKET IS SYSTEMATICALLY USED TO deceive THE AMERICAN PEOPLE."
-Expand the powers of Homeland Security.
-Pro life on abortion.
 
Once again, it appears the Pendleton/Robbins ticket was not to be found on any ballot, nor did they seem to be registered as write-ins in any state. If Robbins was indeed a resident of Utah, there might have been a Constitutional roadblock since both candidates were residents of the same state.
