Official Campaign Statement: I am Suspending my Campaign for President.

There is no sense delaying the inevitable.

It is now mathematically impossible for this campaign to appear on the ballot in all 50 States this fall. I did not get into this race to play spoiler and STEAL votes from anyone.

Therefore, I am suspending my campaign for President of the United States in 2020.

 

This fall, VOTE for the candidate that would NOT abuse their power while serving THE PEOPLE of the United States.

VOTE for the candidate that would treat ALL PEOPLE as equal, and would not seek to inflame divisions to further their own political agendas.

VOTE for the candidate who demands ACCOUNTABILITY for the actions of Sexual Predators, and who holds themselves to a HIGHER STANDARD… demonstrating the actions our Commander-in-Chief should ALWAYS take while in Office.

 

I cannot tell you who to support for President this fall. The only thing I can tell you with 100% certainty is…

 

VOTE for the candidate who is NOT

Donald J. Trump.

 

That is the position I will take this fall. I suggest everyone else do the SAME.

 

Thank you to everyone who has supported my endeavor over the course of these two years and four months, especially my wife. Though she has not believed in my idealism, she has allowed me to do what I believed was necessary… and I am forever grateful.

 

“ON MY HONOR, I will do my best to do my DUTY to God and my Country, and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at ALL TIMES; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.” — The Scout Oath. (BSA)

 

That was all I ever wanted to do… thank you for allowing me to.

The arguments continue to grow around what has been done and what has NOT been done. INACTION in the SENATE. INACTION in the WHITE HOUSE. Meanwhile… the PEOPLE are living it.

 

Is THIS the way we want it to continue to BE? Beyond 2021… is THIS the government we choose to empower? Does THIS represent the Will of the American People?

 

The PEOPLE deserve a THIRD OPTION on the debate stage this fall. A candidate who represents their agendas and their responsibilities.

With your help… I would be HONORED to be that candidate.

Official Campaign Statement on Professor Jonathan Turley

Screenshot from TRMS on December 4, 2019.

 

In the late 2000’s, Professor Turley appeared regularly on MSNBC as a legal analyst. Even though his opinion had a conservative lean to it, he always seemed fair and straight forward with his positions.

Flash forward 10 years… 

From the beginning of my campaign I’ve attempted to start conversations with legal experts via social media about my proposals, and Prof. Turley was one of the first. I did so because I was familiar with his legal opinions in 2008. I was NOT familiar with his opinions SINCE that time.

 

Prof. Turley appeared on MSNBC a few times in the spring of 2018. That motivated me to reach out, publicly, on Twitter. He did not respond.

 

 

I have not sought his advice SINCE that time, and I will not be seeking it in the future.

“On Equal Rights for Women: Where do YOU Stand?” Official Campaign Statement.

I celebrate the First Amendment today because it is the weapon we use when we engage in REVOLUTION against TYRANNY and OPPRESSION. It is the ‘ball and musket’ that will advance our Liberty in ANY BATTLE… so long as mankind lives FREE.

It is the weapon we reach for when we defend our SECOND AMENDMENT Rights.

And it is in THIS frame of mind I say these words, because we are WITHIN the battle right now, for the hearts and minds of EVERY American… and our adversary wins when we lose faith in WHO WE ARE, when we are skeptical of Our Rule of Law… in Our Constitution. When we no longer believe in “Equal Justice Under Law”, they win. We fight this battle to ensure the BATTLEFIELD continues to exist.

with respect.

 

 

…

 

 

Whether or not abortion is a sin, is an opinion… a belief. A decision made between a woman and her god. A decision thankfully, I will never have to make. What is not opinion is what method is the surest and most effective way to MINIMIZE the number of abortions in our country. One thing I agree with every Evangelical Christian on- it should not happen. There should be a loving home for every child that needs one, and every child should be given a chance.

Another thing we stand in agreement on is the existance of evil in this world. Unfortunately, decisions must be made in one’s life that, without the influence of a chance encounter, they would never face in their lifetime…

And that is why we are a Nation of Laws.

I keep coming back to a poorly worded phrase that explains my thoughts about the situation- “Women are men, too… deal with it!”

It’s cheesey, it’s hokey, it’s not quite “right”… but it is clarifying. There is no legislation dictating or directing any aspect of my reproductive life. I choose to end it when I am ready to. I choose when it should begin. I could not imagine accepting restrictions on my decisions and I would fight any attempts to do so, as EVERY other man would.

I want that for EVERYONE.

I want to DEFEND that for EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN.

Right now, to stand hypocritical on the World Stage, claiming to be the Arsenal of Democracy while denying Equal Rights to women and girls, weakens American strength abroad, and it threatens our Constitution by lessening the importance of our Rule of Law.

It is the directive and agenda of our enemy, to weaken the American People’s respect and pride in our Rule of Law, as well as that of our allies. That slow slippage away from “American Idealism” in-favor of the opinion “democracy is ALL the same… corrupt.”

It is a slippery slope.

Right now, it threatens the existence of our Constitution… but the solution is simple!
We must CELEBRATE every good and just aspect of our country, and it is no exception- Equal means equal!

To deny ONE is to DENY ourselves. We may point the finger and say “well what about…” all day, but we must make a clean break from that thinking and look to the day ahead and say, “THIS is what we aspire to BE!”

… and BECOME IT. Right now, for our country, and our SHARED future.
