I have a few moments before demands upon my time and energy (my power) require investing expenses, to work, and in particular I am tasked with bill payment routines - paper pushing. My days of hard labor, and dangerous sports, are over, the price is too high, my body is deteriorating with age, blood clots, bone density reduction, other things, older age.
I sent out three responses to solicitations as follows:
1. Candidacy notice to The Libertarian Party (The Libertarian Party solicits membership)
2. Candidacy notice to The Constitution Party (soliciting membership too)
3. Debate Challenge as follows:

Libertarian News Forums Here!
If you would like to contribute articles or news pieces, there’s a place for you to do so here.
I take the 1st Amendment seriously!
The moderation on these boards is as liberal as possible.
I live for vigorous debate and political agitprop!
If you are a neo-con, republican, fascist, democrat, or communist I welcome you with open arms. YOU are the type of person I want in my forums. Without fascist totalitarians like yourself, my life would be boring.
Youtube, LiveLeak, Fox News, and Daily Motion video embedding is enabled!
Update on The Libertarian Party:
Two e-mails from a representative to me, having nothing to do with the candidacy notice - as if I never submitted a request to be a candidate.
Phone tag.
No further response from The Libertarian Party
Update on The Constitution Party:
One e-mail from me to their contact e-mail address. No response as yet.
Update on the Libertarian News challenge:
My registration on the Libertarian Forum was accepted, two submissions were accepted, and my third forum topic response is held up in the evaluation process, having been submitted on May 27, it is now May 31. My last response, mirrored earlier in this thread, may have been set aside during the Memorial Day Weekend.
Note: It is unusual for a forum to screen responses, which requires personal effort (time, energy, power) by some person, and therefore not possible on forums with many users posting many responses, as a function of numbers. Who has enough spare time (surplus wealth) to personally evaluate 100 forum submissions a day - for example?
At some point the practice of personally screening forum responses becomes economically unproductive. How many forum users use forums, or are active members of forums, that process forum submissions through personal filters, whereby a submission is sent to the forum, and then a forum moderator, or owner, personally screens each forum submission?
My guess is that the number is few, the number is exclusive, as few people demand, or want, to have their work censored in that manner. A forum is a forum.
What is a forum?
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/forum
1.
the marketplace or public square of an ancient Roman city, the center of judicial and business affairs and a place of assembly for the people.
2.
a court or tribunal: the forum of public opinion.
3.
an assembly, meeting place, television program, etc., for the discussion of questions of public interest.
Awhile ago there was an Austrian Forum where my questions were published, not answered, but published, and the forum owners didn't like my questions, and the forum owners discredited me publicly by publishing false, and libelous, things about me, and then the forum owners removed my access to their private forum.
What is a forum?
If the connection is private, then why is the connection advertized with the word: Forum?
There is a contradiction occurring in time and space, in reality, and the contradiction occurring here and now illustrates the divisions between those who purport to support capitalism and those who purport to support socialism.
Is a Forum a public or a private thing, connection, device, tool, power, or invention?
What is a Forum?
My understanding measures a forum as a medium of exchange, much like money, and much like air, water, food, Television, The internet, roads, land, electricity, The Grid, transportation fuel, knowledge, information, understanding, language, and power in general.
A forum is a thing that is separate from those who connect to the forum. People are separate things. People use a forum to connect to other people. The thing that connects people is a separate thing.
A forum is a thing.
A forum is a connecting thing.
A forum connects separate people with separate people.
What is the nature, character, constitution, make-up, specifications, and measure of a forum?
Is the connection equitable? Is the connection voluntary? Is the connection welcome? Is the connection open? Is the connection secure? Is the connection used by people who use the connection to help each other? Is the connection used by people who use the connection to injure victims? Does the connection enable users to gain access to other people for equitable, productive, helpful, and mutually beneficial goals while, at the same time, does the connection protect people from harm by criminals?
Does the thing that connects people work to help people while the thing that connects people also accomplishes the job of insulating people from injury by criminals?
You may say: It is just a forum, it isn't as if it were The State, for Christ's Sake, you are a nut job, why don't you take off your tin hat, for once, and speak plain English.
Someone posting words as those just published would be an illustrated example of intentional injury by someone targeting me - would it not, and by whose authority would the words just published constitute morally acceptable behavior, justified behavior, defensive behavior, offensive behavior, or innocent, neutral, insignificant, or in any way valuated behavior?
Who gains license to censor whom, and what is the process by which said license is empowered in anyone, at any time, anywhere?
You may say: There must be a law, otherwise the bad guys will run amok, posting porn, pictures of extreme violence, and other harmful things that the innocent may then suffer from such destructive exposure.
The matter is what it is, I'm offering a point of view on it. I may be targeted as one of the bad guys, one of the ones who run amok, and one of the one's in dire need of censorship, so as to protect the children - of course.
What did I actually write, that is in dire need of censorship?
Are the laws made so as to protect the innocent?
Really, measurably, and accurately measured, and then accurately communicated to each person having an interest in knowing, are laws made, and enforced, so as to protect the innocent, or, on the other hand, are laws made so as to exclude, or render power-less, the force of competition?
Competition forces quality up and cost down. Competition, thereby, forces crime out of business. Crime is definable, measurable, and accurately measurable as low quality, and high cost, behavior.
Crime only exists where ever, and when ever, competition is rendered power-less, less powerful relative to crime.
Read The Prince by Machiavelli, please, and reconsider, if you will, the true constitution of government.
