Who I Am
"First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they attack you. Then you win."
~Gandhi
Simply put - I am You. That is to say that I am an American. Born in Steel in Pennsylvania, raised in a trailer on the outskirts of Fort Worth, Texas, I rose from my condition to graduation from West Point. I served in the 82d Airborne Division as a Paratrooper and Air Cavalry Helicopter Pilot. I was not born with a silver spoon, far from it. I know the meaning of work, the ethic of struggle, the impossibility of striving for a better life. I have known hunger, poverty and shame. I have ascended to the highest heights and touched the rock below. I know you because I know everything in-between. I do not come to represent one section of Our Nation: one demographic, one race, one belief, but rather one and all. To fulfill that sacred thing touted by all great people, that service should prove the highest ideal in any land, in any time. This website is posted and ran by my campaign for the President of the United States of America. I assure you; I am quite serious.
I came to the realization that no one can stop another American from running. There are no laws, no precepts nor precedent that forbids any person from consideration to sit in the Seat of Liberty. We have been made to believe it impossible because we have been told that there are but two choices for representation. I will prove this to be untrue. I am running purely as a write-in candidate. One big loop, two little loops, as my signature at the top of the page demonstrates. Write it in this manner (essentially lower-case cursive) and there can be no legal argument that you were casting your vote for me. If they won't let you write in a candidate, but rather are forced to accept exclusively one of their corrupt representatives, then demand that your God Given right be upheld to vote for whom you wish.
Let them know that your vote counts!
What & Why
I suppose I should start with a bit about what I am doing and why I am doing it. Obviously, I am running for president. I am running under the banner of the Freedom Party. This is a party based in and responsive to ideals of common sense. Other than to itself, its members and the interests represented therein, the Freedom Party has no affiliation to any entities either established or otherwise. The party is, indeed, free, because each individual issue can be looked at through an antonymous lens without being beholden to considerations outside of the simple belief that Our position on the topic lies within the best interests of ones self and society simultaneously.
How
This is, truly, a grass-roots campaign. Grass-roots is a term that is too often bandied about as a movement by and for the people, but which actually means that the supposed candidate is still operating under the assumption that they can and will secure a nomination along traditional lines of balloted party affiliation without the inevitable stain of corruption. I reject this notion as impotent and self-serving. I come as an Avatar of the Will of the People. To bear once and for all the full burden of your daily struggle, that I might with boldness represent those things which touch us all, but which are seldom addressed or flatly ignored in the name of special interests. The knowledge of what is most needed for this nation does not reside solely within me, but rather the collective conscience of us all united.
