Benjamin Bridges Lewis, January 19, 1948 (Tallahassee, Fla.) -
VP candidate for Restoration Party (2016)
Running mate with nominee: James Dominick Carvin (b. 1958)
Popular vote: ? (0.00%)
Electoral vote: 0/538
The campaign:
James Carvin of Tallahassee, Fla. filed with the FEC for US President with No Party Affiliation on Mar. 7, 2016. He had announced his intention on Facebook, Feb. 22, 2016 and around the same time created the Restoration Party.
Carvin worked as an Uber driver. Jeff Burlew of the Tallahassee Democrat on Oct. 21, 2016 reported that Carvin was--
-- a self-described entrepreneur, theologian, writer and inventor, admits he has zero chance as an unofficial write-in candidate. But the colorful Carvin, who wears a top hat and rainbow suspenders behind the wheel of his 2009 Kia Rondo, says he’d make a far better commander in chief. And he insists he isn’t nuts for running in the first place. "What presidential candidate does not qualify as crazy?” he joked. “There’s a borderline between genius and crazy, and I’m perfectly comfortable dancing on that little tight wire. I have never been put in a loony bin — not yet.”
... Carvin is a native of Westchester County, New York, and is married with two sons. He has a wildly varied resume, from teaching at a South Florida school devoted to end times prophecy to making pies at Pizza Hut. He moved to Tallahassee in 2014 and now spends much of his working life giving rides to college students around campus.
A wordy candidate, Carvin spelled out his detailed stand on the issues in several online venues. Given the nature of his writing style and the limitations of the form, Facebook was perhaps not the most ideal soapbox but in sorting through his many posts the following entry seems to sum up his place on the political spectrum--
Mar. 3, 2016
Day 11: The past ten days I've spelled out my proposals and priorities as I will continue doing until election day so that you know what a vote for me represents. Today I am going to discuss the core values of my presidential bid and I will clarify why I am running. It is not a joke, though some first laughed. It is not to get attention as an egotist, though I know I can be prideful and arrogant. Neither is it because I am an opportunist, even if I am one. Nor is it even because I believe in my proposals, which I think are the right solution to our nation's problems and I think you'll agree.
I mentioned previously that I am a pragmatist. Pragmatism, politically speaking, refers to focusing on achieving short term goals rather than pursuing unachievable ideals. A write-in candidate does not expect to become the president of the United States. Seven states don't even allow writing in names on their ballots. Typically a write-in vote, where it is permitted, is an objection vote. It is an effective way of registering an opinion. By organizing a write-in campaign the goal, in my case at least, is to send a signal. If you find that the proposals I am outlining are not found in either the Republican Party Platform or the Democratic Party Platform, then I have a question for you. How would these policies ever get implemented? The answer is they can't. The reason is simple. The people do not possess the power to make it happen because certain existing powers stand in their way.
It is sad to think that in what we call a democracy, the people do not have the power to implement solutions that could fix what ails their country. Who holds the power in this country?
1. The very wealthy ... and this expresses in the form of ...
2. Special interests like big pharma, big oil, big retail, big banks, big insurance, big health, big telecom, big law, big food, big media, big military, big government, big crime, and big political parties.
Many people used to call this an industrial-military complex. Any way you look at it, it is not a Democracy. It is not even a Republic. It is an oligarchy. And that, my friends, is what is making it impossible to implement sensible ideas. If you are proud of American values and ideals, then you must make them a reality. Otherwise you are living a sham.
Now if you have been following me daily, you realize that none of these powers is my friend. It is my intention to restore small business to the many, wealth to the many and power to the many against the immediate interests of those now in power. Beyond this, I would like to restore vision to the many, peace and security to the many and hearts of gold to the many. Weary from the abuses we have been experiencing in a deteriorating society, many of us have become cynical. We've stopped trying. We've lost hope.
It might seem that a pragmatic approach to politics ought to involve working with the powers that be rather than against them. Actually, I am not against any of these things. In the long term, every one of these big entities except big crime and big political parties benefits more if the policies I am promoting are implemented. The rich will also benefit through the trickle up economics I will be advocating. And I will be harping much on that in the days ahead. But otherwise, what I want to focus on today is restoring power to the people, what that means and how that works. The reason I am running is in order to begin the process of restoring power to the people. Are you tired of feeling like a pawn in a game that is bigger than you?
Let's look at how all this works. First, recognize with certainty that the two dominating political parties, Republican and Democrat have fixed policies in their platforms. Americans are thus forced to decide on which group they agree with the most. Maybe they favor less gun control or more, maybe they're anti-abortion but against foreign wars. Maybe the opposite. The point is, this is all these two political parties are offering anyone. Unless they nominate someone who doesn't actually represent their platform, we wind up with the same old misrepresentation that we've been having since these parties were formed and that's not going to change. If you value change, then you've got to make change happen yourself. You are foolish to depend on centuries old political parties to make that happen. As soon as any moderate candidate gets elected, they are still beholden to the party that elected them. Therefore, what you get is the policies that platform promotes. They are puppet leaders.
There is nothing wrong with party platforms. The problem is there aren't enough of them. What we need is better puppeteers. We have two right now - a two party system, when what we should have is a hundred - a hundred party system and we need them to be free from the powers that be that are controlling them. In America we value choice so much that nearly half of us think it is even more important than the right to life itself. Isn't it ironic that we continue to limit our choices to two - election cycle after election cycle?
As a pragmatist I look for achievable goals. And now let me tell you a little something about myself. I am a taxi cab driver, or was but now I'm an Uber driver, along with being an inventor, an entrepreneur and now for the first time, a politician. I speak on behalf of the people from life on the street. I speak for the addicts who have entered my cab and become my repeat customers and friends and overcome their addictions. If nobody else knows that what seems impossible sometimes is possible, these people in successful recovery know.
There is a power of addiction that is going hand in hand with our addiction to all the big entities I've mentioned in today's post. In fact, I could just call the whole thing "big addiction." The American people have been stuck on it. My goal. My heart. My passion. My desire. My hope. My belief is that big addiction can end and become big recovery and big restoration.
Yet anyone familiar with addiction is aware that you've got to learn to let go. Let me talk about letting go. We pray for the strength to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things that we can and the wisdom to know the difference. That statement is like the pragmatist's motto. We let go of the things we can't change. Yet, if you think about it, the people that are praying this prayer are all addicts. You don't have to be a substance abuser to be an addict, by the way. You can be addicted to almost anything.
The word "addiction" comes from a Greek word meaning "oppression." A person who has never had a sip of liquor in their life can be oppressed by poverty, oppressed by class, oppressed by ideogy. Alanon attendees recite this same prayer at their meetings too. They recognize that some of the factors contributing to their relationship to the substance abusers they love is a form of addiction - things like the need for approval. They need to examine their own hearts closely through a deliberate and often heart-wrenching moral inventory in order to be restored to sanity.
This analogy, phenomenon actually, carries over to the world of big politics and the big entities that are presently in control of it. We can overcome any power, any big entity or small entity - one step at a time, one person at a time so long as we realize the need to take these deliberate courageous steps.
America is addicted, oppressed by a two party system and the first step is to admit we are powerless over this addiction and that it is making our lives unmanageable, recognizing it as such - it is a power too great for us to defeat without help and it is ruining us as a country. The second step is to believe that there is a power greater than ourselves - that there is help - and a third is placing trust in that help. From there we will courageously look at what our problems are. We will no longer hide from them. We will turn the music down that is distracting us and face them in all of their ugliness. And then we will take action to restore health and sanity to our world, each person doing their own part. We will no longer repeat the insanity of blaming others for our big problems even though an endless trail of blame is always easy to find. We will simply become the remedy. We will focus on what we can change individually.
So back to pragmatism. Each one of the big entities I've named, and others I haven't listed is oppressing us, blocking us from implementing solutions that would heal our nation, restoring us to sanity, peace, prosperity, proper management, sustainability, politics that are not always about blame, and universal dignity and respect in what our founding fathers referred to simply as, "brotherhood." No one looks at political campaigning these days and sees respect. They see nothing but blame and cut throat dysfunction in a realm without remedy. I come with the only right prescription for our country so far that I've seen - the one that addresses each of the true causes, having inventoried through them. I will now face them and challenge you to be courageous by joining me and doing the same. What exactly is it that I think I can change by running for president at this time? What are my immediate achievable goals?
My answer to that question is very reasonable:
1. Publish the inventory of problems I have identified and their solutions.
2. Ask for help in distributing these solutions proposed through funding and volunteer re-tweets, shares, group invites and cross-referencing. Check out the attached meme for examples.
3. Send a strong signal to the media and to the status quo by voting for me at the polls in November instead of the Republican or Democratic nominee, resulting in a historically high write-in response.
4. Determine what non-profit entities need to arise or be enhanced from such a response assuming significant support is generated after dialog with the developing community of supporters.
5. Consider creating a new party platform after the 2016 election. Since this would arise from the community rather than me, the platform would carry forward some or all of the proposals in my presidential platform, would set forth rules for nominating its own candidates, create a budget through member subscriptions and ongoing support and brand itself, doing all that is needed to compete withe the parties now dominating our political system. I think that laying the ground work for what I would call the "Restoration Party" is achievable through this campaign.
In short, nobody (including myself) believes that I or anyone else would be capable of effecting the changes I am proposing as a write-in no party affiliation candidate in 2016 but that is not my immediate goal. My goals are longer term but begin with these short term objectives - those listed above and I think they are achievable. Don't you?
If you are looking for a potential candidate for 2020, let me also be the first to tell you that although I am a Christian I have visited brothels and strip clubs, smoked marijuana, seen drug deals, made mistakes on my taxes, and plenty else that probably would discount me from passing a presidential vetting process, though the majority of it would not only be unproveable but untrue. One thing you will not find, however, is me lying about any of it.
For the record, I remain faithful to my wife of 25 years despite much hardship and loss of health and have lived a life of constant service to others, being hurt plenty but never hurting anyone, including her. My entrance into houses of ill repute, as they are called, has been to retrieve my regular taxi clients, a number of whom remain close friends to this day and she knows by name. I am not a superhuman with complete mastery over the flesh like Jesus is thought to be but I am a mostly very decent man who wishes to challenge others to treat every person with respect, including those who by choice or force engage in taboo professions.
May I on that note add a pet peeve on their behalf? No one is allowed to use the N word because it hurts when it is derogatory. Stop using the B word and the W or H word for the same reason because they are derogatory toward women. You are not better than anybody else and use of those words is hate speech in plain sight. I am here campaigning because I wish to restore dignity to each person. Even jailed criminals who've had their rights taken from them are human beings. I have seen both men and women treat others as if they had no souls. There is no one without a soul. There is no one that is inhuman. The only inhumanity is the very attitude that regards others that way, whether they are of other belief systems, cultures, races, sexual orientations, abilities, classes or professions. I've seen the homeless treated with disrespect this way too. If this campaign was to successfully initiate a Restoration Party by this or any other name, such a view concerning human dignity would be among its core values. It's not just about tolerance. It's about dignity. As for me, and this certainly would not be required of other platform supporters, I believe in God. And I believe that God views each person with immeasurable dignity and respect because God made them each individually and loves them. I believe God knows God's work is excellent. We think we've made great progress with civil rights and tolerance, but we are still at the starting line.
Therefore before attacking me for my faults consider your own. In the days ahead I will continue to lay out my specific proposals on every issue. I hope you can recognize that in every case I have offered sensible solutions with the achievable goal in mind of laying the groundwork necessary for the type of platform described above. It is not because I am playing some sort of game. This is the real thing. Thank you for your support in the coming days. This country needs your help. In the attached meme you will find a short list of things that each one of you, if you agree with these goals, can and should do.
Gratefully,
James Carvin
2016 Presidential Candidate
No Party Affiliation
Write-In
Carvin's posts did suggest philosophical alliances with a few conspiracy theories, such as Obama birtherism, existence of a Deep State, and the Clinton death list. Facebook would occasionally tag his posts with a fact check insertion, mostly involving claims regarding Hillary Clinton. Starting around Sept. 2016 Carvin began wearing an attention-grabbing top hat and colorful suspenders as part of his public brand.
The Restoration Party 2016 platform could be found on the Party's webpage--
Party Platform
The Restoration Party is both conservative and liberal. We believe in sufficient regulation on the one hand to protect the environment and the common good, but limited government for the sake of fiscal responsibility.
Our central purpose is the restoration of government back to the service of the people, government of, for and by the people and restoration to sanity. On issues between conservatives and liberals we listen to all sides. We are lobby independent.
Our core values are represented in the major acts of the Restoration Party Manifesto as follows:
1. The Neutral Tax – turns all revenue generation over to the states and eliminates the 74,000 pages of IRS tax code. The states send a check to the Federal government for its services. Red states can have red solutions such as Reaganomics and blue states blue solutions like Keynesianomics if they choose. Each state will be unhindered by the changing of US presidents every four years. They will compete with each other to be the most favorable states to live in. The Neutral Tax is consistent with the philosophy of government that is by the people because it gives the states the ability to decide what is best.
2. Neutral Health – there are many ways to improve the quality and reduce the cost of health care while ensuring that all citizens have coverage, especially the most vulnerable. Neutral Health lets each state make the decision as to what will work best within its own context and according to the opinion of its own voter base. Each state competes with other states on both health and taxation.
3. Term Limits for Congress – we support a six year term limit for Congress members. Congress will not vote itself out of office so we will seek the second option of the fifth amendment for this and other measures to reduce term limits to six years. That way Congress won’t be campaigning while in office and their sole function will be to serve the public as they were elected to do.
4. Anti-Corruption Acts – we will fight for the end of corruption in government. We will support an abridged American Anti-Corruption Act that is consistent with our Neutral Tax plan, implemented locally by state. It will eliminate the revolving door of hiring Congress members whose terms end for the lobbies they have helped. It will seek out the original intentions of the 1974 FEC laws and close loopholes for SuperPACs, PACs and lobby bundlers. It will seek to assist small donors and independents to have an equal voice in government. In this way government will be restored as a service to the people, of the people, by the people and for the people.
5. The Equality of Influence Act – we will seek to break up the media monopolies through state initiated tax laws that generate subsidies for smaller media company start ups and independent voices in order to restore journalism to its original function of service to the people rather than service to the political parties and elites who own and secretively rule them.
6. The American Prosperity Act – we will call for an immediate freeze on cost of living adjustments (COLA) for all government employees including Congress until such a time as the average and median wage of the private sector is equal to or greater than that of the public sector average and median wage. This includes benefits. This act will force the government to make America prosperous again and serve the people they are hired to serve rather than themselves.
7. The Fiscal Responsibility Act – we will call for the ever-growing national debt, now at almost twenty trillion dollars to be paid off. America has not yet made the first mortgage payment on this debt. It is misleading not to include payment on this debt to our expense sheet in our government accounting. At zero percent interest a 30 year loan repayment is more than $600 Billion annually when amortized. At 3% the figure rises to over one trillion dollars annually. These figures need to be added to our annual budget on the expense side and never ignored again. Annual budgets must also be balanced. Working together with the Neutral Tax, each state must pay off their corresponding portion of this debt until it is paid in full. Fiscal responsibility will make America prosperous again by strengthening the US dollar, lowering the rate of inflation and increasing employment.
8. The Better Voting Systems Act – We will advocate for better voting machines and processes so that elections can’t be rigged in the future. We will eliminate gerrymandering through a call to geographic, rather than geopolitical boundary making. We will call for range voting to replace plurality voting so that voters no longer have to choose between the least of two evils. We will seek to overturn the electoral counting system so that there is no longer a winner takes all system in elections. We will do this so that we can be represented by our government fairly, understanding that the two party system has neither represented us nor produced anything but tyranny for the American people.
9. The Military Repentance Act – the purpose of the American military is defense domestic and abroad. As a superpower we have confused our economic interests with our geopolitical interests and we have cultivated enemies by meddling in regime changes. We must resist military engagement even when there is just cause except where America’s defenses are at risk. The Military Repentance Act is a comprehensive act that recognizes that America’s military and policing role both at home and abroad has not always had good results. Reparations are appropriate in many cases. Sincere apologies are called for. We need to admit that we have not been perfect and commit ourselves to service and healthy alliances that are not strictly for financial gain, as they often have been in the past. The Act will forbid the sale of weapons to any foreign government or private entity. The Act will also demand the permanent financial assistance of our veterans, especially those who are wounded, and their families as we owe a great debt of gratitude for their sacrifice for our country.
America will only be great again through repentance. We have blood on our hands. Our government has been self-serving. We need to be restored to a right relationship with our own people and with the world. It is simply the right thing to do. It is simply the right way to govern with justice. Being restored to fiscal responsibility, we will do what is good and right and create a better world. These are the core values of the Restoration Party as outlined in the Restoration Party Manifesto.
10. Having understood these values, each Restoration Party Member is asked to make a pledge as follows …
"As I pledge my allegiance to the Restoration Party, I express my commitment to work to restore government to the people, for the people and by the people of America and to seek out and support representatives, policies and legislation locally and nationally to that end. I affirm that government must be limited in size so that it does not create a burden of debt and that its purpose is to serve the people rather than use them. I am proud to be an American not because America’s past is fully honorable but because I hold a vision for a future America that humbly progresses toward a better, more peaceful world, where hunger and homelessness are eliminated, where healthcare is affordable and available for all, where equality of rights and dignity is not just legislated but apparent in relationships, where our environment is preserved responsibly for future generations, where abundance is measured in terms of quality of life for all and not just the few, and where freedom exists in a balance for the common good and every citizen has a voice. To that end I will seek to break up media monopolies and end the two party system through every reform necessary while putting an end to voter fraud. I will no longer allow America to be a corporatocracy, aristocracy, oligarchy or plutocracy. I will seek term limits for Congress and to end systemic corruption so there is no advantage to career politics. I will demand that our government both live within its means and pay off its debts until it owes nothing. I will respect the separation of church and state and the freedom of speech and thought, while cherishing worthy values. I recognize that our past and present is in many ways dysfunctional and I will seek to restore our nation to sanity and to move step by step towards maximized awesomeness."
In a Sept. 10, 2016 Facebook post Carvin captioned a video with "I need to introduce my running mate." Benjamin B. Lewis is shown busking at night next to a sign proclaiming "Save the Clitoris" but then the camera pans away to record the numerous signs and stuffed toys festooning the singer's ancient Volvo station wagon parked nearby. Some examples of the vehicular public proclamations:
Circumcision creates killers
Jesus is Lord
Circumcision is evil
Circumcision causes brain damage
Work is for people who don't know how to fish
John 7:238:40- ...
Luke: 6,9
Face it-- abortion kills a person
Pray to end abortion
The Jesus is Lord Party
Peace
Love
Lewis for President
Benji for President
Yes, Carvin selected a rival Presidential candidate as his running-mate, although it is not clear if Benjamin B. Lewis who was running under the banner of the Jesus is Lord Party was aware this honor was granted to him. Given Carvin's whole stage presence, it is also within the realm of possibility this Vice-Presidential choice was possibly made in the spirit of mock praise. Hard to tell.
Lewis had been a local public figure long before 2016 as an anti-circumcision activist along with his brother Van Lewis (1943-2011). Benjamin had been a long-time Scientologist before embracing Christianity.
Years later on Facebook Lewis recalled the episode surrounding his Presidential announcement--
Aug. 28, 2019
A FEW DAYS AFTER APRIL13th, 2014, I ANNOUNCED THAT I WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF THE USA AT A REST AREA ON AN INTERSTATE IN NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA. MANY PEOPLE SAID THAT THEY WOULD VOTE FOR ME. THEN TWO NEWBERRY POLICE OFFICERS CAME UP AND ASKED ME TO LEAVE AND I TOLD THEM THAT I WOULD LEAVE AND GO CAMPAIGN IN COLUMBIA SOUTH, CAROLINA. I WENT ON TO COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA & DEMONSTRATED AGAINST CIRCUMCISION WITH MY "CIRCUMCISION KILLS" SIGN. A DRUNK MAN VERBALLY ASSAULTED ME AND SAID HE WAS GOING TO "BEAT ME TO A PULP". I WENT TO A NEARBY POLICE STATION AND WHEN I TOLD THE POLICE OFFICER WHAT HAPPENED AND THAT THE MAN WAS DRUNK,AND MIGHT GET IN A CAR AND HARM SOMEONE, THE POLICE OFFICER ARRESTED ME FOR DISORDERLY CONDUCT!!! (he had seen my car with california plates on it and anti circumcision bumper stickers, i guess, because he said, WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK TO CALIFORNIA!!!). i spent the night in jail and was released the next day with an order to come back in august for a trial. when i came back in august, the judge said that charge had been changed to assault in the third degree. i requested a jury trial. and a public defender. my request was granted, but i still have not been back for my jury trial. a jury trial would mean that what went on would be part of the public record. now i am wondering if my arrest was not only that i was demonstrating against circumcision, but also that i had announced that i was running for president as well. it is a strange country we live in, that mutilates over half of the boy infants by circumcision, and then arrests a person who is protesting this crime of child mutilation and then says that he assaulted a police officer. POLICE OFFICERS WEAR GUNS!!! I WOULD NOT DARE ASSAULT ONE!!! love much always, benjamin
Here some samples of contemporary statements made by Lewis on Facebook in the course of the actual campaign--

why i am running for president of the united states of america
by benjamin bridges lewis
i am a follower of jesus christ.
as a christian, i was given a prophesy to fulfill, as all christians are, in the book of revelations.
that prophesy is pretty simple.
the book of revelations states that and angel will come down from heaven, (that angel, i believe is the hole spirit), and form a great chain, (that chain is all disciples of jesus, all followers of jesus), and that chain of people will tie satan's hands, (and all who do the work of satan) and cast him into prison, (and those who do the work of satan, will be imprisoned also), and bring about 1,000 years of peace.
the holy spirit of truth and love, have lead me to believe that it is one basic tool that satan has been using for 6,000 years, to make mankind seem evil and bad: the circumcision of boys and girls.
the genitals of the human being, as created by god, are the only part of the human body involved with the creation of the future of the race.
it is only by the mutilation of those organs by circumcision of young human beings, boys and girls, can you bring about the idea that people, who are a part of god's wondrous creation, are bad.
people are not evil.
it is circumcision of babies and children, that can so derange human beings, that you get the current chaos of the world.
many say to me: you think that circumcision is causing all of the problems in the world today?
i say yes!!!
if we will enforce national and international laws, that exist, that inhibit the assault and mutilation of the genitals of human boys and girls , euphemistically called circumcision, and jail those sick people who refuse to stop the bodily assualt on these children, we will get, (we will create), 1,000 years of peace.
i think that all people who are trying to stop the circumcision of boys and girls, are followers of jesus christ. for they have the heart and spirit of jesus in their very own makeup. i believe that these people had their names written in the book of life, before the foundations of the world were created.
the office of president carries much advisory weight in the world.
if elected, i will do all i can to call an end to the war currently being waged by adults of the bodies of the young by circumcision.
i will do all i can to make world literacy a reality for all people of earth.
i will advise all peoples of earth to read what jesus has said in the new testament.
if we fulfill our prophesy, we will create 1,000 years of peace, as is spoken of in the book of revelations.
if we do not, the future of this planet will be such, that you will not have to go anywhere to witness hell.
the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
jesus said that.
it is up to us, those who know that we must protect the children, who are our future, if we are to make it so.
please vote for me.
please ask others to vote for me.
it is up to us to create the heaven on earth, that our lord spoke of in the lord's prayer.
jesus fulfilled his prophesy.
we had best fulfill ours.
we have all we need, to make earth a heaven.
it starts with the
let's do it!!!
much love always,

THE JOB OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA
by benjamin lewis
as i am applying for the job of president of the usa, i think that it appropriate to write a bit about how i view this job and its duties.
one basic job the president has, is to do all he or she can, to make the country safe.
what i hear other candidates talking about is bull sheet, and will NOT result in a safer usa.
to make the usa safe, (and the world), we must start by enforcing existing laws, on the books in the usa and in the international codes; and we must stop the most egregious crime being massively done on over 3 million girls from infancy to 15 years old, each year, in the name of the radical islamists "holy war".
3 million girls a year are loosing their clitorises and their prepuces, to the muslim madmen and women who will do anything to make islamic law, the law on planet earth.
HISTORY
the history of clitoridectomy and its relationship to the jihad (holy war), is simple, but needs to be understood in order to be effective in combating this most gross violation of the females involved, to the right of life (many hundreds bleed to death from the mutilation each year, many hundreds have excessive bleeding once a month when their period happens, many hundreds die from fibroid cysts and cancer of the uterus due to a much greater risk at getting these afflictions due to the very nature of reduced sexual pleasure, reduced orgasmic ability, and the reduced circulation that happens in the uterus, because orgasms are a vital part of a healthy uterus.
many women, who may have been born with an orientation towards other women, are now, with reduced sexual capacity, altered for the sake of war, are now reduced to being the "sex slave " for a muslim man who has much money and many wives.
in order to eat, she has to become a part of a harem, such as osama bin ladin's father had (23 wives, all clitoridectomized, who produced 57 children for him (and the jihad), and he now has an estimated 500 grandchildren and great grandchildren.
what we have here, is the total perversion of sex, for the purpose of war.
sex was created by god, or nature, or both with two most basic purposes, and if children are not mutilated through circumcision, these two purposes are easy, (and pleasant to fulfill).
THE PURPOSE OF SEX AS GOD (or nature, or both,) INTENDED IT
1. a most basic purpose of sex, is a means by which two human beings, finding themselves in such affinity with each other, that they find it totally impossible to express the amount of love they feel, with words, or music, or some other art form, and have a real need to "make love" to each other, in such a way that the partner will know how much the partner loves them, and the bond created becomes a lifelong loving bond into which children can be born into a safe secure and loving environment.
i believe that god (or nature, or both) loves us all, but loves children best of all.
if god love children best of all, should not we also?
2. sex has the purpose of bringing into being, new living beings, to continue the human race.
perverting sex, and making it into a tool of war, is the worse sort of perversion, as it was created for the purpose of love.
well, these two purposes are good.
think what it would be like to love someone very much, and to want to create children with that person and make love with them in such a way that they would "already know" , already, how much you love them, and have no body to make love with, or create a child with.
sex is a wonderful creation, when children are not mutilated through circumcision; when love is changed into pain, anger and betrayal by the means of circumcision, you are attacking that which god created for love, and putting in its place, pain, anger frustration and betrayal.
to understand clitoridectomy and the muslim world, you must understand, that the muslim brotherhood was founded in egypt in 1923 and its purpose was to fulfill mohammad's prophesy, that all peoples of earth would some day live under islamic law, not because they chose to, but because if they refused to, they would be killed.
the muslim brotherhood went into africa to find the most violent warrior tribes in africa, with the purpose of creating violent warriors, who would stop at nothing at creating an islamic world.
what they found was this.
those tribes that had the most violent warriors, were those tribes that had a tradition of cutting the clitorises off of the little girls.
most women who are so mutilated, are not able to experience love on a biological level of orgasm. the prenatal lives of the unborn children are devoid of love on this level. human empathy is low, therefore, a "no mercy" type warrior is being created from the womb.
this is the worst kind of biological warfare.
between 10% to 20% of the muslims fit into the category of radical.
peaceful muslims do not allow their daughters to be clitoridectomized.
THE RADICAL ONES DO.
we must get the radical muslims out of the usa by determining which muslim families are involved in this illegal activity, by doing medical exams on all female muslims in the country.
once identified, these people and their husbands and relatives must be formed into a peace corps, and sent to a muslim country, under the protection of united nations soldiers, to stop clitoridectomy in those countries.
we must concurrently stop circumcising baby boys in this country.
intact men, have never allowed their daughter's clitorises to be amputated,
it is only circumcised men, already sexually crippled themselves, that in their secrete hatred and animosity towards women, who should have protected them, that will allow such.
i have been joking and saying that if i am elected president it will bring a whole new meaning to god bless america.
i am not joking now.
god bless america if i am not elected.
i am the only candidate that knows how to lead america out of its current mess.

ALL OF THE OTHER CANDIDATES that i know of ARE FULL OF BULL!!!
by benjamin lewis
these people running for president, (except me), are lieingt and saying they can make the usa safe.
they are FULL OF BULL!!!
do they talk about school shooters on campus!!!
NO!!!
i do, every day!!!
i tell students why their fellow students are getting killed by terrorists created in our own hospitals, iatrogenically, by our doctors circumcising 1.5 million baby boys a year. and the students are listening!!! setting the stage for their ptsd, which drives them to kill.
do they tell you that we MUST enforce us laws against clitoridectomy, to find out where the radical islamists are, in our own country!!! no!!!
why don,t they?
because they are brain damaged themselves from circumcision, or act brain damaged because so many american men are, they act out what is normal, or they are a woman, like hillary and carly, who are marri9edc to circumcised brain damaged men.
why am i different?
1). i know that i am brain damaged and why; but i am not stupid. i got what forrests mom said to him: STUPID IS IS A STUPID DOES.
2) i love my fellow human beings and am NOT out for power, but survival for the whole human race.
it would be stupid of me, NOT TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT, as no one else is talking about what would make us safer.
i am.
we must focus on making ever boy, infant and girl (B.I.G) safe from genital mutilation in the usa.
we must do this.
WE ARE CREATING OUR OWN PROBLEMS by circumcising our boys, BUT OUR ENEMIES (the radical islamists) are circumcising 3 million girls and over 6 million boys making the biggest most dangerous gang in the history of the planet. terrorists raised from the womb.
they talk about the heroin epidemic, but do they tell you that 85% of the heroin comes fro afganistan and funds terrorists?
please, get busy and start spreading the truth: NONE OF US WILL BE SAFE UNTIL WE DEMAND THAT ALL CHILDREN HAVE THE GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO HAVE THEIR GENITALS INTACT!!!

HILLARY CLIT ON CLINTON, BILL DICK OFF CLIT ON, AND SHEEET RUMP TRUMP!!!
by benjamin lewis
oh my god!!!
hillary and bill KNEW genocide was going to happen in rawanda and 1/2 million people were going to get murdered, (black lives matter to these two mass murderers, only if they live in the usa and can vote).
DICKOFF IS THE NAME OF A FAMOUS NAZI WAR CRIMANAL. BILL IS A SEXUAL PERVERT, BRAIN DAMAGED AND A MASS KILLER.
donald trump is a brain damged circumcised man who dramatizes his brain damage badly, BUT at least, he is not yet a mass killer, if he becomes president, he may become one.
when it is times to vote, i am going to write my name on my ballot.

i am going to demonstrate at the secrete service office in tallahassee florida. i have been running for president since good friday 17april, 2014, when i announced to hundreds of people that i was running for president. this is longer than hillary or trump. i have campaigned every day since then. i have had hundreds of people say that they will vote for me, and i am the only candidate that is being vocal about the source of all the killing nationally and internationally, and am the only candidate calling for the surgeon general to call for a medical exam of all muslim females, in order to give them medical help, if needed and to locate the islamic radicals within us boarders. i am the only candidate that is calling for a halt of all circumcision of boys infants and girls, in order to stop the madness that this is creating.
circumcision is violence and is the source of the violence we are seeing.
we must end it.

The Carvin/Lewis ticket did not register as write-ins with any state. I infer, perhaps erroneously, that a Facebook post in late Oct. 2016 suggests Carvin was initially under the impression that simply filing with the FEC would be enough to have his write-in votes counted. In any event, the fact both candidates were residents of the same state would have posed a potential Constitutional problem.
Election history: Lewis made reference to having won some public office position in the past but was not specific.
Other occupations: activist
Notes:
Carvin decided not to run in 2020. At some point it looks like the Restoration Party changed into the Visionary Party. Carvin's Restoration Party should not be confused with the Restoration Party ticket of Ernest L. Miller/Roy N. Eddy in 1976.
