Vote For Me for Vice-President – I’m Your Write-In Candidate du Jour

– Vice-President Liam
UPDATE: I was running for President, but as I was going to vote for Ron Paul despite my candidacy, I feel that my best use as a citizen activist is to support Ron, by offering myself as Vice. VP Liam. As your Vice-President, I will do everything I can to support the policies of Ron Paul. I will tell the press exactly what I think of them, all the time. I will give talks at your local speaker bureaus about the realities of our international war and monetary policies.
I will make my best effort to dare the Congress to impeach me, by telling their dirty political secrets in public.
And, on the Paul ticket, I’ll be the young one, so will be there to take the office when the good man needs days off to deliver babies…
Given the total insanity infecting the Nation’s policy makers, I am forced to throw my hat into the ring; yes, I am now running for VICE-President of the United States as a write-in candidate.
My platform:
Number 1: I am candid, so can be a candidate.
2: I will legalize all hemp and hemp-related plants and products, and let individual growers set their prices without restriction or taxation. I will also allow the government to grow these products and sell them as a way to recoup debt and fund charity projects, like funding the military.
3. I will end the Fed. I will actually fill the Federal reserve with extracts from skunks’ stink glands, so the smell reflects the behavior of those who work there. Same goes for the I.R.S. Taxes on goods and services will be collected only at points of sale. If the Government wants to fund wars, it can hold fund-raisers.
4. I will end all restrictions on personal commerce; you can sell what you like, as long as you’re not physically hurting anyone. And you won’t need a license to get married or fish or any other related activity. The Government will only dispense civil union agreements to any adults who want them, at City Halls, but no marriage licenses. You’ll handle that on your own, in your own words, and according to your own philosophy.
5. I will legalize prostitution, in order to free a lot of young women – and men – from college educations that will only lead them to careers in retail. Better to be free to make real money while you’re in the mood.
6. I will take away all subsidies for petro-chemical farming, so that organic food will rightfully be less expensive than pesticide-ridden toxic puke.
7. I will make sure that we celebrate Saturnalia. I will make Shiva, Ganesha, Brahma and Vishnu acceptable Gods to worship, and I will make polytheism a recognized religion in the country; if only for the purpose of not killing foreigners in the name of Jesus anymore. (We can wage war, properly, in the name of Mars).
8. I will make sure that we have long vacations as citizens. We’ll be on a rotating basis, but you’ll get at least 8 weeks off per year, as part of your full-time job. A country that plays together, stays together.
9. I will make talking on cell phones in a loud voice in public places a crime punishable according to the whims of your peers; excluding death or maiming, but not excluding a good, sound slapping.
10. Every other Friday will be an optional raw-food fast. Bring your carrots, celery, almonds and bananas!
And
11. Pharma companies will be required to spend half of their R&D money on seeing if they could solve problems with natural products, that can not be patented, or sold at exorbitant cost.
I look forward to continuing to serve humanity as your Vice-President. Or, whatever.

Wouldn’t that just shock the world? It would be a resounding, to paraphrase Full Metal Jacket, “Who the f*** is Private Citizen Liam Scheff?” Ahh, if only….

I would vote for you in a heart beat Liam! I have been listening to the Robert Scott Bell show, and with you as his guest, for ever an a day, love it! Smart and a Hottie!

Liam while you are entertaining I will take Ron Paul head over shoulders above you. :-) I think he Austrian free market approach would do a lot of the same things you are pushing.

Joe, I’m voting for Ron Paul too, but I feel compelled to offer myself and my genius ideas for reform. Head and shoulders! Bah! Bah, I say. Put me in charge, and I’d be impeached in… weeks. Maybe hours. Now, that’s change you can believe in.
Oh yes. I’d authorize ten executive orders on day 1. Goodbye Federal Reserve. Goodbye foreign wars. Goodbye most federal inter-state commerce statutes. So long subsidies for big pharma, oil, and agribusiness.
They’d be serving me up for dinner on FoxNews! And I’d be lucky to get through a first year. And if I made it through a term, I’d be pleased to get out of office, and hand it over to the next guy. No, I’d be there to make changes, and that’s what I would do. As YOUR write-in candidate. Just in case, doncha know.
Like I said, I’m voting for Ron Paul, too. But.. it’s good to have a back-up. So, that’s me. Or, you. Because that’s the point. It really is going to have to matter a whole lot less to all of us, who is President. We have got to maintain sovereignty in our homes, our towns, our cities, our States. The Federal Gov’t has got to be put into a smaller framework, and reminded, sternly, that its job is to protect us, from invasive governance, above all.

Liam, I love you! I’ll vote for Ron Paul first and then for you. I’m in Illinois – so I can vote as often as I want! Your story of recovery was very timely yesterday. My own recovery from mercury poisoning is a real roller coaster ride – yesterday was a BAD day. You helped me to keep going.
Ron Paul/Liam Scheff 2012

Thanks Sandy! Yes, Ron Paul first. Me second – but, like I said, we’ve all got to be running for President this time around… You, me and everyone we know, because the Government needs to be told to calm down, scale down, quiet down, and also, to shut up, stay out of our personal lives, and return rights to individuals, states, and neighborhoods, by golly.
Yes, you can vote early and often, in Illinois. That should work out well for all of us!
I’m sorry about your mercury poisoning – I relate in some fashion with my own story, but you probably have important lessons for others. If you feel like elaborating, feel free.
[Reply]
You d’man, Liam! I’m certainly with you. It’s a consciousness shift we need, of course. This is the infant that is trying to be born. An awakening to a new and higher level of understanding in Mankind generally–but likely (realistically) in individuals and ever-increasing numbers of groups, as well. It’s happening via the Net. It’s described wonderfully in the book, Not-Two IS Peace, by Adi Da.
Stay with it, my man. This new consciousness is going viral–and it’s about time!

I am becoming quite worried about the increasing trend of criminalizing everything in the United States and around the world. While many laws are necessary, life is becoming so regulated that almost everything humans do is becoming illegal.
Americans like to say they love freedom, but there are few freedoms left in the US. The government is tightening the noose to strangle Americans with ever-increasing nanny state laws so much that the US is starting to look like North Korea.

Hello! I´m from Spain and if you are running for Vice-President with Ron Paul, I will support from here to eternity! It´s time to get rid of lies and corruption in US. Europe want to see a change (positive and real one). I´ve watched Inside Job and House of Numbers and I was really SHOCKED!

Dear Liam,
Following your post announcing your candidacy for the office of VPOTUS, I am writing to ask you two simple questions.
1. While many of the policies in your list are ostensibly designed to promote freedom, do you not think that ‘collecting’ taxes (read: stealing) – even on sales transactions – is morally incompatible with freedom?
2. Secondly, even if your ultimate consequential goal is to see people freer and happier, do you not think it morally and consequentially preferable to do this by means of voluntary cooperation rather than by the decisions of heteronomous and authoritarian institutions such as governments? (leaving aside the fact that the office of VPOTUS does not itself carry much authority, you would nevertheless be a part of a government which would have to violate the sovereignty of individuals to carry out any of its actions) When referencing all of the changes you speak of making, you (rightly) present them as being your actions. e.g. “I will legalise prostitution”. While I am all for freedom, including the repealing of ‘sex laws’, what gives your the moral authority to action such changes? (N.B. if you received 100% of a vote, I would accept that as moral authority, but then the concept of government would become irrelevant and you would merely be an organiser).
I hope you will see that Question 2, despite the apparent sub-questions, is still really one question, and I look forward to hearing your answers.
Yours faithfully,
Benett Freeman

Now I have two reasons to vote. One for Paul, one for you.
Will you also work to find out how many of the conspiracies we’ve heard about in the last 250 years are true and which are not? I really want to know who killed Kennedy just so I can go on to other things.
Also, if you could find out just how much gold has been mined over the course of human history, I’d appreciate it. I just can’t buy into the idea that billions of people over thousands of years, who considered this metal to be money, only managed to dig up five billion ounces. I think there is far more of it, and I think the “scarcity” is to make fiat currency more attractive. Much like diamonds. It’s not like there is really a lack of diamonds. It is carbon for crying out loud! It’d be like looking for dirt.
So while you are putting the Fed out of business and auditing Fort Knox, maybe find out where all the gold mined in human history went? And how much of it exists. And I will donate to your campaign just so I can ask for other favors later on down the road. Or by change, did you really mean change? Surely you won’t change the cronyism now, will you?
