The family is the essential bulwark of liberty, compassion, responsibility, and industry. I declare the family's right and responsibility to nurture, discipline, and educate its children. The Constitution is the contract America has with itself.

My fellow Americans: We are at war with Islam! Since al-Qaeda's attack on 9/11, we have been attacked many times by enemy combatants. This continual siege threatens our Judeo-Christian (and Buddhist) values, and strikes at the heart and soul of our way of life. We've been humiliated by the Taliban, al-Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram and other jihad combatants — as well as by state sponsors of terrorism such as Iran, Syria and North Korea. ENOUGH! We must respond militarily with overwhelming force and such ferocity that the message of deterrence is crystal clear. Charity begins at home. Let's first help Americans — especially Veterans, the elderly, and the chronically physically and mentally ill. We must deal with anarchists hiding behind the First Amendment who seek to destroy our institutions, advocating killing policeman, and burning our cities. Citizens must be able to defend themselves! God Bless the NRA. Washington extravagance must end. No more Imperial Presidency, half-billion-dollar jets and helicopters, an entourage flown around in two military Globemaster Jets filled with weapons and vehicles, and the rest of the multi-billions now wasted that I will reallocate to rebuilding infrastructure, and creating jobs. Advanced technology has made us beholden to electronic gadgetry, especially the Internet, compromising public safety, endangering children and women. The Deep Dark Web, and similar sinister cyber forces, must be eradicated. LET'S RESTORE AMERICA'S GREATNESS was posted to my website banner quite a while ago. I believe in One Nation, Under God, with Liberty and Justice for All. www.Spears2016.com.

Wiley Drake | AMERICAN INDEPENDENT

When I am elected President I will follow to the best of my ability, the Holy Bible, and the Constitution of the United States, in that order, with the Bible being first in order, in accordance with the First Amendment. I will do my best to please all voters, but the Bible and the Constitution of the United States will be my main guide.

Any operational guides will be to follow the Bible and the Constitution of The United States.

Any laws must line up under both the Bible and the Constitution.

All existing laws, and rules, that do not meet the Bible and Constitutional standard will be removed by Executive Order, and proper legal rules.

Party Politics will only be considered if they meet the Bible and Constitution approval.

While I am President all meetings will be opened with the salute to the American Flag, and begun and closed in Judeo- Christian Prayer, with the reminder that all oaths of office are binding until death.

Thomas Hoefling

Thomas Hoefling | AMERICAN INDEPENDENT

I'm a conservative, husband, father of nine, and grandfather of three. I'm running because I deeply fear for my children's future. Our republic is in peril.

I'm asking for your vote because the elites in the Republican and Democratic parties have lost sight of the original principles that made America the greatest nation on earth. They no longer feel obligated to fulfill the primary duties of their sacred oath of office.

A vote for me is a vote for the natural law principles of the Declaration of Independence, the fulfillment of the stated purposes of our Constitution, and the keeping of the oath to fulfill that precious Constitution's explicit requirements.

If you care about the equal protection of our God-given, unalienable, individual rights, the equal protection of the unborn child, the preservation of the natural family, the preservation of our right to keep and bear arms, and the protection of our national sovereignty, security, and borders, I represent you.

A vote for me is also a vote for fundamental tax, monetary, and regulatory reform. It's a vote for educational freedom. It's a vote for responsible, constitutional spending.

And, last but not least, a vote for me is a vote to rein in our out-of-control judiciary, which is running roughshod over our rights, and over the checks and balances that are supposed to be built into our republican, constitutional system of self-government.

Arthur Harris

Arthur Harris | AMERICAN INDEPENDENT

Re-institute the WPA (Works Progress Administration) and rebuild America's infrastructure. End joblessness, homelessness and insure all Americans have health and dental care within the first year of my presidency. Secure our borders within 30 days. Within the first 90 days we will have immigration reform. Within the first term of office we will have a balanced budget, secure prison reform, a new tax code with a 17% flat tax with generous deductions, and college or trade school education for all Americans on the state level provided by unions, trade schools, or state universities. A two-year service commitment if the American cannot pay for this education themselves. If they can't afford to pay Americans will serve with the Vista volunteers, Peace Corps, the public health system, or the military. America will convert to a hydrogen economy, actively mine our landfills and cleaned up our waterway to a pristine environment. Increase tariffs on foreign goods to insure domestic product advantage at home.

I believe that the United States is the greatest country since the beginning of humanity. Although we do have our faults no one has gone further to protect the rights of others than we have in the United States. Now we are at the precipice of the future, to determine whether or not humanity as a species continues. Join me and let's set our sights to glorious future then go there together.

I am honored and humbled to be an AIP candidate in 2016.

I meet ALL Constitutional requirements for President of The United States.

I am committed to promote our ideals of Liberty, as articulated in our Declaration of Independence, and our Constitution as originally understood.

My campaign will address many issues to include ballot access in the various states and Presidential Debate inclusion.

I will faithfully carry forth the message of Constitutional Liberty and Government Restraint.

We must also foster individual moral responsibility in the exercise of our freedoms.

We must refrain from foreign conflicts not our own, yet vigorously defend our borders from those who seek our harm.

We must exercise our legitimate sovereignty, including over our Arctic lands, waters and airspace.

I will acknowledge and boldly uphold our Judeo-Christian heritage, our Constitution and the Rule of Law.

As you know, no campaign is a one man show. It is a team built by all those who contribute their time, treasure or talent.

Campaign expenses include travel, filing fees, the website, social media outreach, mail, phone calls, petitioning and ballot drives.

With your help, we can make a difference in the restoration of our beloved Republic.

I ask for your prayers, contributions and boots on the ground support in this campaign.
