The First National Tee-Party Candidate: Thrown into Prison for Speaking Out

He is the son of an average middle-class American farmer, and his mother was an average middle-class working woman that raised her family and worked for a small-town insurance agency during the 1940s to late 1960s. As a child, he worked with his father on the farm, going on wheat harvest during the summer and going to school just as any other child of the baby-boomer generation did. He grew up in Texas where he lived in a free-enterprise family environment consisting of several small business owner uncles and grandfathers that started and ran their own businesses and passed that ambitious, independent trait down to their children and grandchildren. At an early age, he excelled in mechanical skills learned from working with his father who was an exceptional skilled mechanic and inventor of farm machinery. He also learned early in life and excelled in the profession of salesmanship and earned his living as a direct commission salesperson to obtain the financial resources to pay cash for his own young adult needs and desires. He graduated from high school in 1966 and then attended college for a couple of semesters before dropping out of college and going to work. In the early 1970s, he was introduced to the sales concept of network marketing and began his journey from being a small-town average country boy that grew up in ragged blue jeans to becoming rich in financial means as well as living the American dream with literally thousands of friends working in sales, sharing the positive mental attitude philosophy of life. As a young man, he lived and worked in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, metroplex from the early 1970s to 2001. He made his home in a suburb of Fort Worth, Texas, known a Colleyville, a small town built and developed by a Dallas Cowboys football star in the 1970s when he became a part-time home builder. He built a large housing development named Tara Plantation, consisting of large expensive homes. As a resident of Colleyville, Texas, he became involved with the Lions Club; remained a member, supporting the work of that organization until he purchased a home in Alexandria, Alabama, in February of 2001; and completed the move from Texas to Alabama in September of 2002. In the late 1980s, he started in the mail-order network marketing of information and educational products, selling a single product and service to salespeople and in less than one year became a millionaire working from the comfort of his home in spite of the fact that he had to use “snail mail” rather than e-mail and the Internet that we all have today to use for communication with other people. In a period of less than ten years, he built his home-based business into a multimillion dollar per month in sales, doing an average of almost $2 million per month in new sales and paying his independent contract salespeople up to 96 percent of his gross income. In the early 1990s, he became a politically motivated advocate of providing economic freedom to the American working people and getting the federal government out of the lives of the average working people. In 1999, he founded the National Tee Party and ran as an unknown average man, an independent candidate in the 2000 campaign for president, along with fifty-one other average Americans that most Americans never heard of because of the nature of the totally monopolized two-party political establishments that presently control all the political power in America today. In August of 2001, he became the first Tee Party candidate to be targeted by the IRS. In 2006, he ran for governor as an independent candidate in the state of Alabama and again was attacked for speaking out and refusing to shut up concerning his sincere belief about the way things should be in the USA for the average working person. On April 18, 2006, he was taken by force of arms by the federal government from his hometown of Alexandria, Alabama, and off the governor’s election campaign and into federal prison. The sole purpose of this book is to show that the author is a common man who simply went above and beyond the call of duty to help average people in need of assistance with common everyday problems in life the same as any other common everyday person can do in their own life without being a political or leader or even someone with countless degrees in education. It is also a story to bring special recognition to those who have been wrongfully injured by the actions of those working within high places in government, specifically within the judicial branch and within the law enforcement profession. The intent of the author is not to express his personal anger or to complain about what has happened to him but to simply inform the public about what he is presently going through.
