Project White House contestant Al “Dick” Perry has outlasted Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
Talking Points Memo reports:
Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Thursday morning announced he is suspending his campaign for president, saying at a press conference in North Charleston, South Carolina, “the mission is greater than the man.” Perry endorsed former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, saying “Newt is not perfect, but who among us is.”
Perry continued on that theme, saying he was proud of the campaign that he ran, but as his time is up, the next step is for the Republican primary to find someone that can win in 2012.
“Our party, and the conservative philosophy transcends any one individual,” he said. “It’s a movement of ideas that are greater than any one of us, and will live long past any of us in our lives. As a former Air Force pilot, I don’t get confused. I know we can’t lose track of the ultimate objective in carrying out our mission, and that objective is not only to defeat President Obama, but to replace him with a conservative leader who will bring about real change.”
In other presidential contest news: It appears that inevitable nominee Mitt Romney didn’t win Iowa after all.
Turns out Mitt Romney wasn’t the first GOP candidate in 35 years to take Iowa and New Hampshire. In fact, the certification of Iowa caucus votes conducted by the state GOP shows Rick Santorum won – by 34 votes, but the party is officially calling it a “split decision.”
This article appears in Jan 19-25, 2012.

Oh lord. If there’s anything I didn’t want to read today, it’d be about santorum sliding ANYWHERE.
I filed the following request for access to deliver a speech on Channel 8.
PBS Channel 8
Arizona State University
555 North Central Avenue
Suite 500 Phoenix, AZ 85004-1252
Kelly McCullough, General Manager
Dear Kelly McCullough,
I, Michael Stephen Levinson am a candidate for US president, on the ballot for the Arizona republican primary to be held in Arizona, February 28, 2012.
I seek access on PBS TV 8, to deliver a live speech on behalf of my candidacy on the evening of February 23, from the hours of 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM. There is an outside possibility that I may submit a two hour tape of a live speech, but I prefer to come to the station and deliver the speech live.
In that respect I require only one camera and a white board to write on.
As per our conversation on the telephone, as long as PBS in Oregon is having a debate of republican candidates in March, which will be uploaded and via satellite, delivered to all the individually operate PBS stations in the network, I am entitled to the same opportunity. Even without the Oregon political speech event scheduled, I am entitled to reasonable access to deliver a substantive speech that demonstrates I am the best candidate for president, which is my intent.
Therefore I expect that my live speech will air nationwide. In the event you have problem with my request, or uploading for nationwide distribution, please get back to me as I cannot tolerate any enjoinment of my First Amendment right to speak, as a candidate for president, seeking a republican nomination in Arizona.
For Channel 8 to schedule the airing of the Oregon station sponsored debate and refuse my reasonable request for access, which is my affirmative First Amendment right, constitutes discrimination. I cannot believe Channel 8 would discriminate against a candidate for president.
I do not expect “blind” assent to my request. Here is how I propose to utilize my time on the air, addressing the issues facing our nation.
I bring to our political table The Book ov Lev It A Kiss, a magnum opus 112-page double column Television Scripture lettered in 1969, to be spoken live whirled wide, on all TV channels, for all the world’s peoples to participate in together, all at once. My art from the heart, inspired ahead of its time, is to change the course of human history on our water planet. I only held the pen. That is why I am a candidate for president, to set the stage for a whirled wide cultural event that will kick off World Peace.
I may devote ten minutes to this magnum opus issue, as an introduction to my candidacy.
Here I am reciting the story of Adman and Even
http://www.youtube.com/user/PoetProphet#p/…”
I’m the only person alive with such a work of high poetic prophesy—world events expressly described in advance, every line a multilingual rhyme—running and punning through every spoken tongue, my spoken poem for all mankind to listen to and view. The Vehicle for World Peace, is prophetic art I’m going to perform worldwide for all in the world, for free.
The voters are entitled to be informed on the issue of my Peace Plan.
With press and television, my run for president will be successful. The presidency is my political opportunity to deliver a new word harmonic, my stepping-stone to staging World Peace and food chain harmony. I tell my vision, a blessing.
But even with an outstanding, one-of-a-kind program to achieve world peace, running for U.S. president is a tough road to hoe. In every country outsider candidates are shunted by entrenched, iron fisted forces opposed to making any changes in the discourse of our politics on good ship Mother Earth.
What follows are three Op-Ed pieces, to further introduce my campaign for president to your viewer ships, my showing the way, the non-partisan course I hold that we need to set for economic renewal. Each essay is 600 words or less. On each of these issues I expect to spend 30 minutes.
Lengthier essays on these issues are on my campaign site, so you can see that 30 minutes for each of these major ideas is reasonable. http://levinson4president.com
The first Op-Ed shows how I’m going to make jobs happen to turn our economy around. We are going to build 10,000 state-of-the-art clipper ships to freight our exports and imports, key to regaining our economic leadership, and great for our whole economy. Both advertisers and consumers won’t be shy to spend when they see that jobs are being offered and people wanting work are getting hired. My ship building plan needs Dutch investors, not tax dollars.
The second, my Mortgage Program should save every house in USA, end all foreclosures, protect the banks, rejuvenate mortgage bubbled neighborhoods, while at the same time, lowering our national debt. My economic plan, adapted by the Europeans will rejuvenate their economy, too. The Lev U.S. Mortgage Savings Bond plan, my World Peace plan and my prophetic Television Scripture together qualify for a Nobel hat trick!
My 3rd Op-Ed Lev Health Care, cures one sixth of America’s economy.
My voluntary med program guarantees access to medical care for every person in USA, within six weeks of enactment, regardless of preexisting conditions. A one-line change in our tax code insures long-term health for Lev Care. I project the Lev Health Care cost is half of Congress’ Affordable Insurance Act. Congress recently decided that long-term care is unsustainable, so the plug is being pulled on long-term care before their Act goes into effect. Bye Grandma. In any case, Congress’ Health Care Act is being challenged this term in our Supreme Court and may be judged unconstitutional.
Uncle Sam Shazam, is my credit card reform, obtainable at http://levinson4president.com.
Uncle Sam Shazam rejuvenates our economy from the bottom up, while solving a national security issue. Uncle Sam Shazam, in concert with U.S Mortgage Savings Bonds will reduce our national debt by half within four years!
I could easily spend 15 minutes explaining my Uncle Sam Shazam program for economic renewal.
I plan to nominate The New York Times Pulitzer Prize winner, Thomas L. Friedman for Secretary of State. Together we will set the political stage by getting all the world’s governments on board, officially committed to my World Peace TV Thriller airing in their lands.
World Peace is my issue, the wheel is mine to steer a course for delivering Good Ship Mother Earth to Peace. I am announcing my nomination of Thomas L. Friedman Secretary of State during my televised speech on Channel 8, at Arizona State University.
Talk is cheap. It is not costing you or anybody a single penny, giving me the chance to state my case for party nominations and election, to give all the worlds’ peoples their chants.
My Television Scripture, The Book ov Lev It A Kiss, c. 1971, beginning with Adman and Even, retells all of our ancient stories—re-legend, not religion, a pox on your lips, knot an apocalypse. Every line contains a mull tie ling well rhyme, rivaling Dante, of Divine Comedic fame. I envision the telling of my vision a cultural event the breadth of old blind Homer, from dusk until dawn, with all the world’s peoples participating together, to change the course of human history on Good Ship Mother Earth, nothing less.
I seek a nationwide audience to state my case for delivering World Peace, which I see as achievable from the office of U.S. president but not as a private citizen.
The Book ov Lev It A Kiss was lettered in 1969-70. Many pages are of living prophesy with explicit advance descriptions of current events, for example, the Arctic ice caps melting, copyright 1971. While lettering my Television Scripture, in 1970, J. Edgar Hoover singled me out a person of Special Interest; in his words, an “enemy of the state.”
This is a personal note for you to understand how and or why it has taken me all of thee years to get my message out, that I will include of course in my political speech.
Hoover feared my Television Scripture performance on worldwide television. He knew that during the world wide show I was going to “out” the gay Pope Paul whose homosexuality was common knowledge in 1968 Italy.
That could have lead to public exposure of Hoover’s sexual preference, which would have canceled J. Edgar Hoover’s security clearance, forcing him into retirement. But Hoover’s sex life was hardly a secret in 1971 Washington. Special Agents on the bottom rungs at FBI headquarters openly referred to their hypocrite boss as “J. Edna.”
Nonetheless, Hoover, a venomous anti-Semite, placed me at the top spot on his classified “to be watched,” list and charged his coterie of trusted lieutenants to stifle my rights to political speech—that I must be stopped, or else. Hoover made clear their failure to keep me corralled would call for most extreme prejudice. Over the decades FBI spent millions of dollars tracking my activities and sabotaging my every move. His special agents shipwrecked 40 years of my life. To this day their stigmata tattoo is an Auschwitz blue.
Upon becoming president I can establish world peace. As a private citizen, I cannot. That is an issue for the viewers and listeners to determine.
The most invasive domestic counter intelligence file ever created on any American citizen, many thousands of pages, is the active dossier FBI keeps on my life. FBI altered my education records, destroyed friendships, listens live on my telephones, hacks my computer, and sniffs my emails daily, theirs, an ongoing scheme of under-the-radar unconstitutionality to protect the memory and classified policies of their mentor, J. Edgar Hoover, else my Vehicle for World Peace would have been a major element in our political discourse decades ago!
For the record, had I outed Pope Paul, in 1971, as I intended during my planned worldwide performance of the Television Scripture, the pederast priests, those many hundreds who spent their lives behind the collar, sexually assaulting thousands of innocent teens would not have been allowed to hide inside the Roman Catholic Church. The tall thin Paul was gay. So what! Do we care about a less than celibate ecclesiastic of 40 years past?
As world events unfold, it turns out they were written down in advance. The Book ov Lev It A Kiss is copyright 1971. The Pope who followed Pope Paul, who took the name John Paul I, is named—who he would be. Thirteen pages later the saintly 34-day Pope is shown quietly dying, though when I wrote the description I had something else in mind. Books of living prophecy are like bottles of wine—they have to lie around for a while, mellow and tell.
I will share this passage and many other passages in my Television Scripture so the electorate can fairly judge I am a man with words I intend to deliver, for free, to all mankind. A new word order.
It should be clear I will readily fill the time I seek with Channel 8.
Here are the first three Op-Ed Essays for which I need 30 minutes of time for each. These issues are presented to you in essay format.
Op-Ed ESSAY # 1 Levinson’s Jobs Plan (600 words)
My name is Michael Stephen Levinson. I’m a republican candidate for president, running independent. Call me “Lev.”
Sixty years ago, when I was a kid, the most famous Russian inventor was Reguspatoff. His name, Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. was stamped on everything. We are the world’s youngest nation, with the oldest standing government. People look to US for leadership.
The price tag on Obama’s jobs plan approaches a half billion dollars, to be paid for by tax hiking the rich. But Obama’s program couldn’t even pass his Democrat controlled Senate. Our millionaires Senators all see taxes on the rich as personal attacks.
With Obama’s American Jobs Act, each imagined “job” costs taxpayers 87 thousand dollars. His reliance is on tax cuts and credits as incentive for businesses to hire, not job growth from realistic work creating fresh goods and genuine services.
Common sense is my dictate. We build thousands of traditional clipper ships, to carry our imports and exports worldwide. 10,000 clippers, with Chinese invented rotational masts to harness every gust, and software controlled photovoltaic sails for electric power aboard our wind driven clippers.
We export and import more than any other country. Everything for sale in USA, whether Kool-Aid, soap, or toothpaste, is exported. All we take for granted: cooking oil, grains, whatever you see on our shelves, and more, we sell worldwide, including our technologies.
Solyndra, an Obama favorite, recently declared bankruptcy. Their photovoltaic thin film technology can be redesigned for ship sails and we can recoup the Obama administration’s half billion-dollar loan.
This clipper shipbuilding program means long-term jobs wherever there is water and people need work. Shipyards will spring to life along all our seacoasts; also Lakes Michigan, Superior, Huron, Erie and Ontario. Ten thousand clippers will reaffirm our lead er ship on good ship mother earth.
My clipper shipbuilding program is major for U.S. to rejuvenate the world’s economy besides a long-term solution for ending our jobless slump.
Building 10,000 clippers will create, within a few years, millions of semi-skilled jobs, leading to even better, fully skilled jobs! Not everyone dreams of operating a computer, writing software, or working on the Internet. For many people, a decent paying job, where they can train while working, and grow into skilled labor carpenter positions, or plumbers, and electricians, building ships with their hands, is a dream come true, trades they can use wherever they go.
Student crews will pay reduced tuition besides room and board for their undergraduate educations, while seeing the world, so with or without a cargo the clippers make money.
We can say to every company that relocated their factories overseas, we welcome your goods, as long as they come to US on our ships; and to every country, we welcome your products as long as our ships bring them to USA.
Apple sits on 82 billion dollars in profits. With tax benefits, might some billions be invested building ships to carry their laptops, ipads and ipods around the world? Lots of companies could put their own cash hoards to work.
University endowments, and Wall Street are another source of funding for clipper shipyards. Harvard could launch a fleet of forty ships, freeing 1600 freshman seats on land. Ten thousand merchant clippers justify our navy’s presence in the Pacific.
In the South Pacific, there is a current crossroads the size of Texas blanketed with forty years of plastic trash, dangerous to Mother Nature’s sea born creatures. Governments that flag ships will pay U.S. by the ton for our clippers to nestle, rake and sift that corrupted sea top clean.

OP-Ed ESSAY # 2 Lev Mortgage Plan (599 words)
My name is Michael Stephen Levinson. Call me “Lev.” I’m the presidential candidate with plans for world peace and food chain harmony, besides complete economic renewal.
We need economic rejuvenation. My mortgage plan calls for purchasing every bank held mortgage with an original financial instrument: U.S. Mortgage Savings Bonds.
The Bonds, backed by the good faith of the American people cannot be redeemed until the mortgages are paid! They are also backed by private property on which the U.S. Bonds are written.
We pay 85 cents on the good, 65 cents for bad, and 49 cents for ugly; 52 million mortgages, refinanced with 15-30 year fixed rates, according to your credit: 4% for triple A up to 7% for late pay deadbeats.
Banks can go with us or slide down their own foreclosure drain. Regardless, we are purchasing all their mortgages, top shelf triple A or troubled. We are entitled to the fruits of our labors, this repurchase by Executive Order, my first day in our Oval office.
Retooling millions of mortgages can be accomplished with a fail-safe do-it-your-self, online program, or figured by neighborhood tax preparers.
Every homeowner benefits from a restructured fixed mortgage. The world’s e con oh me will settle into non-inflationary growth.
We tack on non-interest bearing 2nd mortgages to cover the upside-down money in homes that swapped and sold for twice their value before the bubble burst, toxic still, after our buy out whack, so people can remain in their dream house, draw down their debt, and eventually, as prices inch up, their mortgage paid down, see their liens paid off fair and square, with a reasonable portion of equity intact. This is a great way to stabilize sub-prime sub-divisions. Foreclosed houses devalue the whole artery.
After our repurchase, the renewed mortgages shall be divided amongst the bank branches in the same zip codes, for servicing.
We let the bank branches hold twelve payments of ‘our’ money. With a year of mortgage money, the branches are flush with capital to make loans in the neighborhoods where the mortgage money is paid; where jobs are created.
Branches can provide operating capital to all the businesses in their zip codes the old fashioned way, after visiting the business.
There is in tryst on our Mortgage Savings Bonds with which all the home mortgages were purchased. There will be in tryst on our money, which we are letting bank branches use expressly for loaning out to neighborhood businesses hungry for capital.
Interest accrued from our trillion-dollar mortgage purchase will be washed, boxed and locked, sent to Washington every month! The spread on our 52 million home mortgages will go to lowering our national debt and after that, replacing our income tax!
Homeowners will be freed from income tax with their dollars in their pocket to do with as they please. Mortgage interest will go for public safety, education and public works, replacing the tax on our hands. Government of the people won’t be foreclosing houses. Unemployed? Pay your mortgage interest until you get back on your feet.
Apply these principals to commercial mortgages. Principal goes to retiring the Mortgage Bonds. The interest spread draws down our national debt — tax relief for citizens, toxic asset relief for banks, and capital for running our government. With Lev innovation, mortgage investors, and others will be lining up to invest in USA.
People will vote for these Lev recession stuffing measures in a heartbeat. Obama ‘s approach to governing rewards the rich who feed his election campaigns by printing trillions in future debt.
Op-Ed # 3 Health Care Plan (600 Words)
I am an independently minded, republican presidential candidate. My Health care program dissolves insurance companies and government from the mix. Within six weeks, without bureaucracy, everyone will have health care.
Health care drains one sixth of our economy but nothing comes from medical treatment beyond personal well-being; not economic growth, unless you include the salaries of health pros treating your illness, or the insurance executive’s healthy bonus for reimbursing doctors, yet refusing you coverage because your disease was inherited.
Without access to health care, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” is a cruel joke. All can agree our once throbbing economy is troubled, leading our leaderless world downward.
One prob limb in our house of economic cards is the growing rolls of those who lost their health care insurance along with their jobs, and while jobless, they cannot pay their home mortgages, which are also growing foreclosure tock sick by the day.
My solution simplifies this issue: We voluntarily charge ourselves two cents gratuity on everything we purchase at all our fast food chains, also Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target and every supermarket nationwide.
40 items in a supermarket easily rings up $150. Would another eighty cents, tip for the lowliest workers matter? At the week’s end we divide the pennies in tips by the hours that were worked so cashiers, burger flippers and baggers each gets a dollar an hour raise with the overage dollars in tip money going to their Medical Assurance Savings account.
Your account goes with you when you move on to another job. 12 million people will have Medical Assurance accounts to share with their spouse and family.
At year’s end the 12 million healthy will have medically banked easily a quarter billion dollars in case they get sick, and 24-30 million loved ones will be sharing the same health care blanket, because of our voluntary pennies.
$5 a week is earmarked for the Catastrophic Illness Pool. After six weeks, 360 million will be in that account to cover every potential surgery. People suffering with pre-existing conditions will be invited to join.
Car dealerships and other companies that provide health insurance will migrate to Medical Assurance Savings accounts. With my Loose Penny program funding our non-profit-motivated Medical Assurance Pool, everyone will be covered and live longer, healthier lives.
For success we need a one-line change in our tax code. Medical professionals must be allowed to do $50,000 a year in charity that is deducted off the top of their income – then, after all their deductions an additional $25,000 off their bottom line, so the Dr.’s and Dentists can look forward to Freedom of Income Tax.
Every doctor will have a sign outside: “No insurance? I’m here.” The loss of tax dollars is off set by the savings in Emergency Rooms. Unless there is an actual emergency people will be given a list of charity professionals who will treat them.
The two-penny gratuity doesn’t come out of management’s pocket, but work place production will increase because of it. When someone quits, the crew might ask to let them pick up the slack. One less hire means more for everybody working.
Dr.’s will compete to treat you. You agree to their fee, the Dr. swipes your Assurance card to secure the money, fulfills the treatment and collects, without insurance people compromising his treatment.
I’m also planning a doctor-supported Malpractice Pool.
The long-term solution is free medical education for all related medical personal, our goal 100,000 doctors graduating every year until there is one family doctor per thousand people.
Presidential leadership prevails, not Congress or lobbyists.
Channel 8 TV should take note, I applied for access to three broadcast stations in New Hampshire on October 18, via US Postal Overnight. WBIN-TV and NHPTV replied. They are not opening their doors to political speech. Both stations are in bad faith with the constitutional rights of the American people to participate in a broadcast speech.
I am moving against all three stations, WBIN-TV; WMUR and NHPTV in Federal District Court so the issue of my unalienable right to speak is settled before the political campaign shifts into broadcast media’s “settled” mode.
I will prevail in the Federal Court because the current “debates” are distinguished from debates 25 years ago that were ruled exempt news events. Today’s debates have breaks for advertizing! They are a “use” not an, ‘on the spot,’ news event. Another factor: scarcity of bandwidth is a wash and does not apply. There are hundreds of channels. And one more: your humble poet with the Vehicle for World Peace is the only candidate seeking time to issue forth with an actual speech, the original purpose of the law, not 30 second attack ads.
I want newspaper people in the TV studio with me, to ask questions after I conclude my speech so I may condense my live speech to allow for questions from a potential studio audience of news people. We could tal;k about that.
I have also filed against ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, and FOX, in another Federal Court, challenging their broadcast licenses, for their “willful and repeated failure” to have allowed me access in the last election.
I do not want to add Channel 8 to my court complaint!
That brief is already written. It is a masterpiece of legal art that took me thousands of hours to research and write. My defense is of the American people’s moribund right of access to their own airwaves for purposes of political speech—what I am going to swear to—the defense of your constitutional rights— when I put my hand on the Bible and take the Oath of office.
We. The world’s peoples are all tempting Mother Nature’s balance. Marine scientists have concluded the oceans on our water planet are approaching an irreversible, catastrophic change.
Our scientists, attacked for their views, fear to explicitly state the end of food from an acidified sea could be a fact of life; that carbon absorbed by the oceans could end our seas as a source of food for generations, ending world commerce with wars never ending, fought over bread. As the Gulf Stream shifts, so might go America’s westerly winds and rains, turning our central, wheat growing plains into a dried out dust-riven prairie.
Obama’s reelection is Obama’s only focus, not planet health.
We need peace first, before we can solve this issue of trapping the billions of pounds of carbon dioxide we are producing. I have answers. But to solve this world problem, I need to explain my programs for election, along with my plan, expressly to deliver the world to peace. I will gladly show how we end global warming, along the way, during my speech on Channel 8.
I’m glad to fully explain how we absorb and trap all the carbon dioxides, before the election, and your viewership is entitled to see in advance how, as President, I’m going to achieve World Peace, beginning with a world wide peaceful night.
Lev Plan to Protect our Freedom of the Newspaper Press
I’m the only candidate who plans on protecting Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Speech. George W. Bush said he was going to uncover the press leaker in the White House, and that person would be fired. Barack Obama said he was going to locate the White House leakers and jail them.
I’m going to establish a Whistle Blowers Office in the White House. People can blow the whistle on government fraud and corruption in their city, county, state or federal agency. Upon their whistles blowing I will instantly issue the whistle blowers Letters of Protection, signed by the President.
Every night The Daily Scoop, all the Whistles blown that day will be emailed to every newspaper in USA. Every newspaper will be fully paid by “Uncle Sam” their full-page price, or whatever part thereof for printing the Whistle Blower’s Blotter. The Whistle Blower’s Blotter could fast become the most popular feature in your newspaper.
The First Amendment is our essence, our constitutional franchise, distinguishing our nation.
The U.S. government can and will provide economic protection for our free press, underwriting the publication of the Whistle Blower’s Blotter. Every newspaper will have guaranteed pages to more than pick up their classified ad slack brought on by the free Internet!
Freedom of the Press protection, by Whistle Blower guaranteed publication in all of our newspapers, payment according to circulation will be the first Act of Congress during the honeymoon week.
In this case, biting the hand that feeds you guarantees more food. To stay ahead of the other countries we need to eliminate corruption at every level of government. That is the reason behind my letters of protection. Whistle blowers will fill your blotter, a first step in nationwide self-cleaning.
In addition to the Whistle Blower Blotter, I will see to it papers are also paid for printing full pages of all the earmarks, beginning with the 2001 Miscellaneous Appropriations Act that, six parts, the first five hard cover parts, each hundreds of pages, full of earmarks never examined by any Members of Congress!
The American people are entitled to see where their tax dollars went. Newspapers will be hiring editors to run pages full of the D.C. Blotter and the Whistle Blower Blotter. The government, by an Act of Congress will guarantee your full-page price.
I’m seeking the Republican Party nomination and planning besides, an independent political convention to renew our money-corrupted politics. I will seek 200,000 people from around our country, each to pony up $200 for delegate fees. That is 40 million dollars to run the Woodstock redux that also qualifies for matching funds by the FEC.
People will write the planks and post them on my yet to be uploaded Lev Party website, so all can read, discuss and vote on the planks in advance. At the convention we will officially ratify all the planks we, the people will have written; and then, every night— delegate’s entertainment—world famous musicians mixed with unknown bands recommended by all the community newspaper readers.
The daytime politics will be live on C-SPAN. The entertainment likely will be pay per view, or on HBO, or both. My plan is for at least four thousand newspapers to collect $200 delegate fees along with copies of photo ID and Social Security cards from fifty different newspaper subscribers who’d like to attend. That way delegates are from all around our country!
I am not going to print tickets. Tickets can be forged. Instead we will scan the photo ID, with a sheet full of identity information into a cloud-based database. When the delegates arrive, their identity will be in a laptop and easily certified.
At least four thousand newspapers will be responsible for collecting the information and delegate fees for as many as 50 delegates each. The paper deducts $20 from each delegate’s fee, and earns $1000, or the paper sends five observer “delegates.”
In organizing this Lev Party Convention, putting it together, to renew our politics, I am showing the nation I’m fully capable of running our government.
Further Newspaper Support From Lev
100 years ago, for showing up to vote, ward heelers provided ‘a chicken in every pot,’ after you voted. I plan, for all my “volunteers,” a 7 speed, best-of-breed electric campaign bicycle in every yard, for getting out the vote.
I intend on spending most of what you enumerate me for my writing, advertising my electric campaign bicycles in your classifieds. After your readers are familiar with my candidacy, I’m going to upgrade my ad campaign in your paper to include display ads for my bicycles, with a bonus to you based on online sales, whether click through, or ordered right on your website!
My Italian manufactured electric bicycles, built to order, are for “campaign volunteers” transportation. Distributing five bicycles in 20 states crosses the five thousand dollars F E C threshold for political campaign matching funds.
Matching funds guarantees Secret Service protection along with ballot status for the primaries in more than ten states, a qualification for nationwide speech on the non-commercial PBS network, before the Super Tuesday primaries.
When matching funds comes every buddy who loaned bucks to my campaign, for me to provide them state-of-the-art electric campaign bicycles, gets their put up dollars refunded. Then I ask my campaign volunteers to re-loan their bike money back to campaign headquarters, in exchange for my funding $200 for their electric bill, which off sets the S & H in USA. Upon the second round of matching funds I will refund my “campaign volunteers’ ” original loans in full.
In effect, someone fronts my campaign $1075 for an $1800 bicycle. They get their $1075 back plus the S & H and the bike is theirs to keep. Expect 535 Members of Congress to be outraged, and complain to the Election Commission for my treating campaign donations as a loan.
Political Campaigns Hinge on Broadcast Speech
Starting In Your NewsRoom!
I need every newspaper to co-sponsor my requests for access to all the PBS stations in the nation, for me to deliver a 90-120 minute live presentation, followed perhaps by 30 minutes of wide open questions from editors and publishers who, as my speech co-sponsors, will be in the TV studio with me, on behalf of their readers being an informed electorate, with unscripted questions that come to mind upon my speech.
My Channel 8 speech will be a wide-open extemporaneous unscripted campaign news event, which will attract a huge audience—good for democracy.
I have the legal right to request the airtime, and a TV station’s broadcast license is contingent on granting reasonable requests for access from genuine candidates for federal office.
After the first 118-minutes of my Channel 8 PBS aired campaign speech after my covering every issue facing our nation, and then some, in clue ding a showing of my Vehicle for World Peace, I’m going to look into the camera and say these words:
“This is the good ship mother earth. Whatever deck you live on, the cards are dealt out evenly. When it comes time to change the course of human history on good shop mother earth, all the world cries out for is a spokesman, a spokes person, to turn the wheel . . .
I have waited
A long long time
To very simply
Say a delicate poem
Spout some rhyme
It is my time
I have a date
With the universe
I cannot be late.
Stand behind me.
From our highest office
Of president
I will deliver the world
To peace.”
I will then call a halt, turn on my computer to play Duke Ellington Newport 1956 rendition of The Stars Spangled Banner, and invite the audience to sing along with me. I will display our anthem on large cards for the folks at home watching. Then I will say God bless and goodnight. My pleasure.
