This is now a Campaign for the 2024 Presidential Election. We need your Support.

 Our campaign For The American People started in 1950 with three main issues, all of which still urgently need to be resolved today. Since the start of Our Campaign other issues are added to our agenda based completely on their importance to ALL of The American People. Our Campaign is an On-Going Campaign which will continue for many years into the future.

 The original issues which started Our Campaign evolved from a discussion I had with my father in 1950 shortly after our family moved from California to Ann Arbor Michigan. Those original issues are:

 Issue #1). Tax Reform, which will reform the current Tax System, which is based almost exclusively on Taxing Income which consists of only about 1/3 of the United States Economy (and taxes the Richest People little or nothing) and pays for everything the United States Government spends. My father told me that the original purpose of the Income Tax was that the Rich People would pay most of the Tax and the rest of The American People would pay very little or nothing. Today the Income Tax has been structured so that exactly the opposite is true. Today the Rich People have bought the Government of Our Country and everyone except the Rich People pay most of the Taxes.

 Over many years I have considered in detail all of the Tax options which have been proposed. I have found that all of them Tax a small part of the Economy and for the most part the Rich people pay little or nothing, like Mr. Trump has done for all of his life.

 When I studied Economics at Western Michigan University I learned that the only real solution is to Tax the entire Economy at a low fair rate where the Rich People are required to pay their fair share. I am always interested in better solutions so if you have one please tell me about your ideas.

 The largest Tax on everyone is Inflation. For example my apartment in 1972 cost $1,200 per year. The exact same apartment in 2012 cost $12,000 per year. In 1972 my salary per year was less than $5,000, it would not be possible to live on that today. That is the Tax of Inflation.

 Issue #2). Health Care. When I talked with my father he was a full time student with a full time job to suppot his family. Even then he had difficulty paying for the good health care which our family required. The American People need a real National Health Care System which is not run by the Insurance Companies and the Health Care Industry. All people need good Health Care, regardless of their personal circumstances. The United States is the only country in the world where the Health Care System is run entirely by and for the extremely rich Health Care, and Insurance Industries.

 Even with the so-called Affordable Health Care Act, Health Care is still largely un-affordable and inaccessible unless it is provided by an employer. Many employers do not provide Health Care to their employees, and those who do pay the employees less so that they can suply this coverage. No employer should need to decide what Health Care they will allow their employees to have.

 A real National Health Care System will provide the Health Care which ALL of The American People require removing the need for employers to provide this service, and letting employers concentrate on their business and not on Health Care of their Employees. A real National Health Care System will decrease Vehicle Insurance coasts since Insurance Companies will no longer be involved in covering Health Care issues.

 Issue #3). Elections (Primarily Presidential Elections). The people who wrote the documents founding The United States of America did their bestjob they could with the information which was available to them in the 1700’s. There is no way they could have imagined how what they proposed work in today’s world of the Internet and Extreme Partisanship.

 Our first, and so-far only Non-Partisan President, George Washington, warned The American People that Excess Partisanship would destroy Our Country, as it is doing today. The Election System they designed in the 1700’s resulted in the extremely undemocratic and highly Partisan government we have today, which is run exclusively by and for The Party and NOT by and for The American People as they intended it to be run. The main thing which would start to correct this problem is for Our Country to start to have real democratically run Non-Partisan Elections which are not run exclusively by and for The Party, where everyone has a totally equal opportunity to be elected regardless of whether they are associated with The Party. It is long past time when ALL Presidents should be Non-Partisan. The Judicial System which is now highly Partisan can not function properly when it is even slightly Partisan.

 Our Campaign For The American People started in 1950 as the result of a discussion I had with my father on these issues since then Our Campaign has addressed many other issues, however; these issues are still unresolved and are still the primary issues of Our Campaign.

 After I discussed Our Campaign with John Fitzgerald Kennedy, soon to become President Kennedy, in 1960 he told me to turn it into a Presidential Campaign. And he told me that I “Should become President when I am old enough”. Since I have worked for The Executive Branch of The United States Government after graduating from College, where the Hatch Act legally prohibits participation in Partisan Politics, I was not able to follow President Kennedy’s instructions until I retired from The United States Government.

Our Campaign For The American People is an Official Federal Election Commission Registered On-Going Non-Partisan Presidential Campaign and Our Campaign will continue until it is completely successful for ALL of The American People. I have been a dedicated Public Servant all of my life. Real Public Service is only about doing what is best for ALL of The American People, it is never about who is in power. A real public Servant will always treat everyone with the same respect and do their best to represent the interests of ALL people equally. If you do not follow that simple guideline you are not really a Public Servant and you should find a vocation which is more appropriate for your way of thinking.

All Contributions to Our Campaign will be used ONLY in the Support of Our Campaign For The American People.

Best regards,

Dwight S. Smith

    “Campaign for FirstNonPartisanPresidentOfUSA Since George Washington! since Dwight has the most commonsense real solutions to problems that none of the politicians will ever even start to solve. I want him as the President of Our Country.”

Was there really a Non-Partisan President?

Yes, George Washington was the First & ONLY Non-Partisan President of The United States, so-far. In his Farewell Address he warned The American People that the kind of Partisan control of the Government of Our Country which we have today would destroy the foundations of the Country which The Founding Fathers of Our Country worked so hard to establish. Frankly, none of them dared to imagined that their "experiment" in democracy would even last as much as 20 years much less over 200 years. We have been very lucky considering how The Party (the names of the "wings" of which have continually changed over the years) has worked so hard to tear the foundations of Our Country apart, to have had it hold together this long. It is long past time when we The American People took heed of George Washington's words and threw The Party out by working with Our Campaign for The American People to start to repair the large amount of damage The Party has done to Our Country.
