During the time our nation was being created, Benjamin Franklin made the following observation:
"Sir, there are two passions which have a powerful influence in the affairs of men. These are ambition and avarice—the love of power and the love of money. Separately, each of these has great force in prompting men to action; but, when united in view of the same object, they have, in many minds, the most violent effects. Place before the eyes of such men a post of honor, that shall, at the same time, be a place of profit, and they will move heaven and earth to obtain it."
Franklin understood human nature and realized that in order for the newly found republic to succeed, the people would need to choose virtuous leaders who were motivated by their love of liberty rather than the love of money and power.
Political parties were created by the financial elite for their benefit. The rich and powerful dominate the political landscape in the United States because they control the political parties.
Abandoning the Republican and Democratic parties to create a new party would be like abstaining from arsenic and cyanide and switching to a different poisonous beverage.
It's clear that greedy men and women have been recruited by the International bankers to serve the goals of the elite and powerful and enslave the nation to pay for it. These are precisely the individuals whom Benjamin Franklin warned us about.
In order to create a mechanism whereby their candidates could be elected, the bankers established political parties. They knew that if they could convince the people that political parties were essential they could use the resulting power to enslave the American people.
Ridding the world of Yellow Fever was not accomplished by killing the mosquitoes one at a time; the disease was conquered when the swamps were drained. The system of political parties is the breeding ground of crime and corruption in government. In order to attract willing servants, the bankers bait the hook with money.
Politics is a system of policies that divide people into groups of individuals who are unwilling or unable to think and act for themselves. They become part of a mob who seek to exploit others in order to obtain special benefits and privileges.
The candidates who are elected to Congress are not necessarily the most qualified, they are usually just the ones who are able to raise the most money. We need to find a way to improve the quality of those who serve in Congress.
In every precinct we should determine which individuals truly know and understand the principles of individual liberty and personal responsibility. We need to identify men and women of integrity who understand what it means to be ethical.
It has been said that "Politics is the art of compromise." The principles upon which our nation was founded were written by the hand of God and cannot be repealed or compromised.
As I see it, the only hope for a restoration of our Constitutional Republic is to abolish all political parties. By draining the swamp, we can purify the political landscape and regain control of the government that has been exploiting us for so many years. Political parties are not mentioned in the Constitution. In fact George Washington and James Madison warned us against political factions, knowing they would create division rather than unity among the people.
Power in the hands of unethical men and women is a dangerous thing. George Washington once stated "Government is like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."

I agree with this; however until everyone wakes up, this can never happen. The people who are so ignorant and don't know who to vote for will pick the craziest of reasons for whom they choose. "He's a Republican, He's a Democrat, He's better looking, He's rich and successful, He says he wants to help the poor, My parents brainwashed me to always vote for Democrats, I vote for the name I recognize These are just some of the reasons I have personally heard people give for voting for a certain person, none of which are good reasons to vote for anyone.
In my campaign, I have a website with all the information about me, why I'm running, the things I want to change, my viewpoints on various issues, etc. Other campaign websites that I have seen, only have a donate button. That should tell people what is most important to a candidate. I also have a donate button, and you would be surprised how many never push that button and donate. I mostly get responses from businesses trying to capitalize on me hiring them to help me with my campaign. When I tell them I have no money, I never hear from them again.
Running any campaign takes some money. I cannot compete when I have no financial help. That's how the corporations get their claws into candidates. They donate the big bucks and the candidates that accept it are most likely doing it so that they can get elected. The reason they want to get elected most often is not to do what is right for the American people, but to better their own financial holdings. I know no one in Washington. I have no relationships in Washington. I have no financial interests in the stock markets. There is no reason for me NOT to do what is right for our freedom. I am not doing this for myself. I am doing this to make a difference. My odds are against winning. I could not run as an independent because I would have to get 25,000 valid signatures by myself. That's what the Democrats and Republicans have set up. No third party or independent can get on the ballot without an unobtainable number of valid signatures.
By working with the Libertarian party who's views are very close to my own, I get help with the signatures and have people committed to helping me get elected for nothing in return. I have several men and women helping me that have full time jobs and they are getting nothing in return except the hope that I can get elected. I'm counting on God's help. God knows my intentions are honorable. He can fix it so that only well informed voters make it to the polls. He can make it so that the rigging of our voting machines doesn't work. If I get elected, it will be because God wants me to get elected. If I don't get elected, I have my job that I love and there are other things I'm involved in that will further freedom.
There are people like me all over the country doing the same thing I am doing. The people need to open their eyes and take a chance on someone who's name they don't recognize, or vote for a woman instead of a man, or visit the campaign websites of people running in their state or district to see what that person has to say. If they agree with that person on a majority of their positions, they need to vote for that person and not the person who is there now whose name they recognize.
Most people in this group are smarter than the average voter. Most people in this group know these things, but people in this group need to become the majority for us to take our country back. We need prayer more than anything else. I wish I could have gone to DC for Operation American Spring. They have the right idea, but there aren't enough of them. I'm doing everything that I can, but no one person can do it alone.
Take care and God bless America!
definitely one of the better videos. Thanks for posting it.
I think that we should get everyone in our communities to abandon the republican and democratic parties and re-register as a non party affiliated voter. I also would ask everyone to make a pledge to never vote for anyone that is affiliated with any political party. There are 61 million potential voters that are not registered to vote and another 61 million voters that are not republicans or democrats. We need to declare war on the political parties and for a coalition of voters that are wiling to vote as individuals. The combined total of potential voters that are not republicans or democrats is 122 million. The number of democrats is 45 million and the number of republicans is 39 million.
If a number of patriots sat in front of a local grocery store and encourage people to switch their voter registration from republican or democrat to no party affiliation we would begin the process of ending the political tyranny in America.
Compromising is like drinking dirty water. The more you compromise the dirtier the water gets.
It is a good message, but his own language reveals part of society's problems. We have been commanded to not take the Lord's name in vain, and I do not care for his crudity. That too, is another outward sign of this country's problems.
