- I am running for U.S. Congress not so much to gain a
political office, but to restore the original "American
Dream." George Washington described that dream as
living safely under one's own "Vine
& Fig Tree."
- Another 3-word phrase to describe this vision is Liberty
Under God.
-
- There are two ways you can support this campaign for Liberty
Under God:
- • Action: phone, email, Facebook, Twitter,
letters to the editor,
• Donation: money

the actions that will help change the worldview
of voters. Ron Paul is significantly changing political
campaigns by utilizing thousands of enthusiastic volunteers
to spread viral videos over the internet and make phone
calls to voters. He is spending far less per voter than Mitt
Romney, and accomplishing much more than running for office.
-
- For the last ten years, I have been the Libertarian Party
nominee for Congress every two years. In 2010 I received
twice as many votes as I did in 2008, even though voter
turnout was down 33%. The reason for this is my appearance
in public debates and interviews with the media. Probably
also some action on "social media" like Facebook.
-
- For the past ten years I have not been accepting monetary
contributions to my political campaigns.
- • I can avoid hiring an attorney to fill out a boatload
of paperwork for the Federal Election Commission
- • I can give the appearance of not being "bought
off" by special interests.
- • TV ads and roadside signs are not as effective as
face-to-face communication (or iPhone to iPhone, or computer
to computer) which don't require money (just time).
- Still, there may be some people who want to give money to
my campaign.
- I would like to accommodate them.
- And I would like to expand my social media presence.
- I am therefore changing my campaign policy. Somewhat.
-
- Like Mitt Romney, I am financing this campaign with my own
money. Money I earn in my "day job."
- Unlike Mitt Romney, I am not a multi-millionaire.
- If I were a vacuum cleaner salesman, the way you could
help me finance this campaign would be by buying one of my
vacuum cleaners. That would give me the money I need to buy
gas to drive to candidate forums and town hall meetings to
talk with people about Liberty
Under God.
- I am not a vacuum cleaner salesman.
- I am a "life
coach."
- You can support my campaign for Liberty
Under God by hiring me as
your personal coach, and becoming

If you don't want to get coached and become
extraordinary, you can make a tax-deductible donation to the
educational non-profit tax-exempt corporation I formed to promote
"Liberty Under
God." The name of that organization is "Vine
& Fig Tree." As a non-profit
organization "Vine & Fig Tree"
does not endorse any political candidates. Not even me. "Vine
& Fig Tree" is working to create a
peaceful world free from princes and pirates, devoid of
Congressmen and criminals. I write their webpages. I've never been
paid for this work, because donations have barely covered the cost
of keeping the computers running and the webpages hosted online.
Should I ever get paid for my work, I will use that money to help
promote "Liberty Under
God" by getting my tank filled with gas and going
to the TV station to debate other candidates for U.S. Congress.
Additionally, my mother was recently hospitalized
with a virulent infection that left her with about 25% of her
mental and physical abilities. Caring for her is now my full-time
job. As the 2012 campaign gains momentum, I will need to hire a
nurse to care for her while I drive to campaign events, debates,
and media interviews. I will pay for this out of my own pocket, if
"Vine & Fig Tree"
receives enough income to pay me for working on the more than
3,000 webpages and blog posts I have already created.
Bigger visions require more donations.
Your donation goes a long way
to promote
"Liberty Under
God"
and the "Vine & Fig Tree"
worldview

Thank you very much.
If you have any questions at all, please email me.
My campaign is still small enough that I answer email personally.
You interest and support are appreciated.
Up until 2012, I have never
charged any money for help, advice, coaching, etc. For nearly a
decade I rented a 12-room house in a bad part of town and allowed
homeless drug addicts to get off the streets, find a job, and save
up first and last month's rent. No charge for them, no salary for
me. Over a thousand people received shelter and coaching. I am
working on turning social work into an online business. These
websites are under construction:
