brothers and sisters of the Humane Party.

The Humane Party Board of Directors,

All compassionates and agents of root cause change;

Those seeking the end of the exploitation of other species by humans;

Those seeking the elimination of the torture, mutilation,

and slaughter of our non-human animal friends;

And, who seek the granting of legal person-hood

to all sentient beings;

Those leading their lives in accordance with

what it means to be a humane person;

Those seeking to end the non-emergency based use of toxic fuels;

Those seeking to eliminate systems and practices

that create profit motives to incarcerate people

and to keep them incarcerated;

To those seeking to defend our air, land and water resources

against on-going contamination and depletion,

as well as ban genetic modification of animals, food or any item

designed by the universe to be consumed by humans or other animals;

And to those who are mature enough to understand

that establishing justice and ensuring domestic tranquility,

as envisioned by the founding architects of this common wealth,

are best achieved by a peaceful, resolute, and skillful approach

to conflict disagreement and (by) cooperation.

It is my great honor and passionate sense of duty to you,

that I accept the Humane Party's nomination for the office

of the president of the United States of America.

Without hesitation, I accept this nomination with an inspired heart,

with a determined mind, a soul filled with hope,

and a body free of, for the last 18 years of my life,

any deceased, murdered, or tortured soul.

I accept this nomination with an over-arching objective:

To embody your voice;

To manifest your unwavering desire to change our country's course;

To personify your vision of a passionately compassionate nation;

To realize your dream of a nation that leverages

the collective intelligence of all its citizens;

That will finally position our country as a force that

leads with intellectual power instead of coercive strength;

That will finally situate our country to lead

with moral and ethical might,

instead of leading with the compulsion and impulse to fight.

I would like to be your voice.

As I am the voice of over 70 billion non-human animals

that are tortured and murdered every year on our lands.

Our lands where only small amounts of remorse

can be found in doing so;

remorse and compassion only from people like you and me.

Abe Lincoln was quoted as saying,

“I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights.

That is the way of a whole human being.”

With this in mind, like you, I am a voice of the Humane Party.

A party that offers you, me, our non-human animal friends

and citizens that are naive or unaware

of the issues it addresses, and the solutions it offers,

an inspired and refreshing platform;

A platform of which offers the culmination

of our collective intelligence;

A visionary and practical platform to fight for;

A platform to live by;

And a platform that I would surely die for;

Albert Einstein once stated that the definition of insanity

is doing the same thing over and over again,

while expecting different results.

You and I have witnessed the reality of this definition:

Every four years, we are promised change,

and every four years, those promises are exchanged.

Every four years, we are offered a choice,

and four years later, we have lost our voice.

History has taught us that the winning candidates

in presidential elections of the past

had a very compelling story told to the most people.

Well, we the people of the Humane Party have quite a story.

In this story, you are the protagonist.

The hero facing a giant of a Goliath, on an epic journey

with a set of challenges interwoven throughout a story...

a story in search of a happy ending;

A better story than any other political party

that exists in our political and social landscape today.

Legacies are meant for us to discern,

just as culture is preserved for us to learn;

Nonetheless, legacies and cultures are meant to,

and rightfully should, evolve;

Evolve as we are facing unprecedented problems and challenges

that we have no choice but to resolve.

I intend fully to represent you and amplify your voice;

To demonstrate to the people of this country

the root cause effects of our mistreatment

of our non-human animal friends;

That this mistreatment gives rise to our aggression;

Gives birth to our lack of reasoning and understanding;

That as a people, our continued consumption of death and turmoil

soils our souls and darkens our conscious;

leeches onto our logic, and compromises our compassion.

It is my intention to re-energize the marketplace of ideas;

To expand and enhance collaboration

between public and private sectors,

in the areas of science, technology, and government;

And to utilize, fully, these partnerships to determine

root cause and solve issues;

Resolutions that will instigate much needed global change

and evolve our national security;

And will acclimate our citizens to evolving economics and eco-systems,

so that we can bridge hope to action.

Therefore, I ask that you stand with me

as a free human being;

Stand with me as your presidential candidate,

and in doing so, I promise you that,

although I have never been a politician,

I am fully vested as a citizen,

in the direction of our country;

And I own, just as much as those currently in power,

the management and outcomes of our political, social,

and economic discretion;

I also promise you that I will challenge, every day,

my intellect to engage scientists, philosophers,

government & technology leaders, and you;

Engage you to be courageous in ignoring

the distractions from critical issues;

To figure out the root cause to issues;

And consistently create, welcome,

and embrace dialogue and conversation,

to teach our children what it truly means

to be humane and peaceful;

While also learning from them,

learning from our children how important it is

for you and me to maintain a child's sense of innocence,

especially regarding animals;

And the importance of preserving

a child's sense of imagination and curiosity

in how we interact with others;

In doing this, you and I can collectively design and develop

solutions that will work and stick.

Let's do this together!

Thank you for your time

and I look forward to working with you.
