Tom Hoefling and Andy Prior Launch 2024 Independent Presidential Run

Tom Hoefling announced an independent campaign for the presidency on Thursday, selecting Andy Prior of Texas to be his running mate. The ticket previously ran in the 2020 election cycle.

In a recorded statement made to his campaign site on Thursday, Hoefling introduced himself and Prior, announcing that the ticket would be running as independent candidates for the 2024 election and discussing details about his campaign. Readers can access the audio and a transcribed version of his statement on his campaign site.

In the introduction, Hoefling emphasizes his commitment to principled moral conservatism, citing his past advocacy and electoral experience. He criticizes the current system, arguing that it is manipulated to favor the Republican and Democratic Parties, as well as those with financial and media backing. Hoefling believes the solution lies in mobilizing Americans, particularly those who are Christian, to reclaim their moral and political power to restore the nation’s foundational principles.

“It’s actually a mathematical certainty that if a large fraction of the professing Christians in America – say, even a third of them – would begin to do the right thing, in a relatively short period of time, we would win, and could then begin the hard work of putting this country back on its legitimate foundations,” Hoefling states.

To that end, Hoefling’s campaign will focus on several core issues that will resonate with such voters, namely the protection of unborn children and the preservation of what he terms natural marriage and family structures. He condemns the legalization and regulation of abortion, labeling it as an ongoing “American genocide,” and asserts that equal protection under the law for all individuals extends to both the born and unborn. In addition to his views on marriage and reproductive health, Hoefling also addresses the right to self-protection under the Second Amendment, a robust national defense, and a secure immigration system, among other policy positions.

Hoefling has previously sought the presidency three times. In the 2012 election cycle, he was the nominee of America’s Party, as well as the American Independent Party in California. In the 2016 cycle, he ran again as the nominee of America’s Party. In the 2020 cycle, when he first ran with Prior as his running mate, the ticket appeared on the ballot in Louisiana and had write-in status in over a dozen other states. They earned 1,331 votes in total.

    I hate to agree with Actually/Reality/Confused/Curious/etc., but it has a point here.

    “Communist Russia is certainly, not Christian or capitalist they are still beholden to the ideals of Communism International communism the Soviet leaders still lie in remembrance they still celebrate the old Soviet holidays the ideology is still there.”
    Tell me you’ve never been to Russia and don’t anyone who has, without saying as much…
    The only thing about that which rings even slightly true about that, are that some patriotic holidays introduced during the Soviet era still exist – like celebrating the defeat of nazi Germany and commemorating the men who died in the process – and rightly so. And that the Kremlin Wall Necropolis and Lenin’s Mausoleum haven’t undergone a total iconoclasm of the sort which muslims unleash against Egyptian monuments and protestants unleash against Christian churches.
    But no, while there exist communists in Russia, as in every country, you would have a hard time finding a less communist country than Russia. And you could certainly not find any UN recognized country more Christian than Russia, except maybe Belarus.

    “We are in CWII 2.0 / WWIII-IV and soft culture Cold War against Globalist-elitism Progressive Marxist luciferian Illuminati line of thought.”
    Then I am proud to be on the side of Christ, Putin and Lukashenko, and not on the side of globalist progressive marxist luciferians like Hoefling, Skousen and yourself.

    “With that said, I’m personally lobbing the AIP to place Skousen on right top of the ballot line in CA”
    They already nominated RFK Jr. on April 29th. What are you hoping to achieve? A Skousen nomination for 2028? By then the guy will be as old as Biden is now.

    “As far as Tom Hoefling, goes he most certainly is the forefather of the modern Abolitionist Movement¨
    The movement to abolish the distinction between good and evil, perhaps, but nothing else.

    “Randall Terry’s who still clings to the unconstitutionality right to life compromise that violates the very sanctity of the rule of law.”
    Yes, you support the rampant genocide of unborn children and are very angry that your betters do not. That much was clear already.

    “But Terry won’t and we know why?”
    Because Hoefling’s perennial campaign is a joke and he has yet to gain ballot access anywhere. Hoefling can come play with the big boys if he ever manages to grow up. Terry already defeated Skousen with 8 votes per minute of speaking time against 0.8 – so by an order of magnitude – when someone accidentally let Skousen sit with the grownups.

    “As for as for your Eurasian communist socialist globalist satanic propaganda (Nan) you can save that for your loopy isolationist forms and the Democratic Underground.”
    No, no. You save your Atlantacist communist socialist globalist satanic propaganda for the uniparty war criminals, banderite clown boy.

    “If the (CP) feels different they then can step up to the plate and debate Hoefling pretty easy.
    But Terry won’t and we know why?”

    Of course, because he’s insignificant and not on the ballot. What would be the point of debating him? It would be a waste of time and give him recognition he has not earned

  3. Actually July 8, 2024

    You’re out of touch with reality, and flamed out. Have you ever been to Russia? When was the last time? I challenge you to go and then still see if you can talk that nonsense.

    Skousen is a delusional/con man, and you’re just delusional.

    I don’t get the impression you understand orders of magnitude. Of course there are millions of illegals, including millions that came in under Biden. Tens of millions is plausible. Hundreds of millions is not. At this point, I don’t think you understand the difference. Do you know how many people are in the US legally? How many registered voters? I don’t get the impression you understand what adding an extra zero on the end does to a number.

    I’m not libertarian or far left..and I.Never.Said.Anything to create the unreasonable logic leap – if logic were even the correct word – that I don’t think there are millions or tens of millions. Hundreds of millions is a very different thing. It’s whackadoodle nuts. But liberty flameout can’t understand the difference.

    You’re too late with the lobbying, they nominated RFK JR a while back.

  4. Liberty Flame July 8, 2024

    As far as Tom Hoefling, goes he most certainly is the forefather of the modern Abolitionist Movement his commitment to the constitutionality of personhood equal protection under the law is stronger than anyone’s including Randall Terry’s who still clings to the unconstitutionality right to life compromise that violates the very sanctity of the rule of law.
    If the (CP) feels different they then can step up to the plate and debate Hoefling pretty easy.
    But Terry won’t and we know why?

    As for as for your Eurasian communist socialist globalist satanic propaganda (Nan) you can save that for your loopy isolationist forms and the Democratic Underground.

    Communist Russia is certainly, not Christian or capitalist they are still beholden to the ideals of Communism International communism the Soviet leaders still lie in remembrance they still celebrate the old Soviet holidays the ideology is still there.
    Back to Skousen his understanding on the current present situation in hand is far more insightful than Randall Terry’s who’s ballot lagger ideals will only carry slightly, above Don Blankenship that is completely and totally facts and accurate to the present situation to my OP regardless who agrees.
    The numbers of the stealth illegal Invasion don’t lie they’re into the hundreds and the thousands and into the very Millions to deny this the factual truth is typica isolationist libertarian lite+Far leftist light head buried in the sand fridge mentality.

    We are in CWII 2.0 / WWIII-IV and soft culture

    With that said, I’m personally lobbing the AIP to place Skousen on right top of the ballot line in CA

    Flamo,

    “I have my point quite clear regarding Skousen.
    Congratulations CPers you’ll hath achieved the lame same underwhelming laggard results, that you always do because you can’t see the very thick trees that’s in front of you within the depths of the forest .”

    You haven’t made anything clear, then or now. I see no reason to believe Skousen would do better than Terry. Quite the opposite.

    “Regarding Soviet Russia only small minded pea brain would refuse to accept and believe that International communism Soviet socialism is no longer prevalent in Russia despite the facts that are there for all to see and to hear.”

    That’s complete nonsense. The Russian Federation is capitalist and Christian. The Soviet union hasn’t existed for over 30 years. You are flaming out quickly. Try visiting Russia yourself so you don’t sound so foolish. You’ll notice it’s not communist by the time you leave the airport.

    As for illegal invasion, my point was about Skousens ridiculous numbers. You can’t skirt those insane numbers by pointing out that a lot of illegals are in fact coming in. Of course they are. But 360 million, including 180 million already on voter rolls, in 3.5 years? That’s nuts. If it was remotely true, running for office would be completely pointless. It would be time for Skousen to mount a machine gun on his plane and go out an hero.

    If you believe Skousen would get more votes than Terry, you’re naive. If you believe Russia is Soviet today or that three hundred sixty million illegals came in under Biden, with half already set to outvote legal voters, you’re cuckoo for coca puffs. Spelling intentional on coca.

  7. Nuña July 5, 2024

    It is the United States that “only small minded pea brain would refuse to accept and believe” is the globalist socialist cancer seeking to infect and destroy the whole world “despite the facts that are there for all to see and to hear.”

    Nobody was ever foolish enough to expect the Constitution Party to win the presidential election. Randall Terry is using his campaign to confront child murderers with their crimes. Joel Skousen meanwhile wanted to use his campaign to enrich himself with the sale of useless fallout shelters for a nuclear war that, if it happens at all, the US will certainly start.

  8. Nuña July 5, 2024

    Newsmax, the globalist rag that started almost as far left as Fox has moved, puts Hoefling in its top 100 pro-lifers? Well, then it must be true. LMAO.

    If Hoefling was a “forefather of the modern abolitionist movement”, if he had even the slightest passing interest in preventing a New World Order from destroying our republic, then he would not be churning out his online equivalent of The Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf:
    https://www.tomhoefling.com/home/ukraine-give-god-the-glory-and-depend-solely-upon-him
    https://www.tomhoefling.com/home/donald-trump-is-the-opposite-of-george-washington
    https://www.tomhoefling.com/home/impeach-and-remove-trump-tom-hoefling

    He wouldn’t have written such utter evil, dishonest rot in the first place, much less stand behind it unashamedly, unapologetically. The fact is that he is a nazi color revolutionary who wishes for the US to impose its “worldwide global governance and World Empire” upon civilized and God-fearing countries like Russia, to turn them into the same satanic mockery that the US already is and that he did not want Trump to try and revert.

    As for the lesser color revolutionary, the greedy and self-centered warmonger, the dishonest hypocrite Skousen, who also wants the US to impose satanic globalism on the world. No “steadfast Patriot and wonderful God fearing man of the Lord Jesus Christ” would try and remove God from the Constitution Party’s platform. No “steadfast Patriot and wonderful God fearing man of the Lord Jesus Christ” would call Russia an “axis of evil” eager to “nuke US military bases” or project upon Russia the US’ own intent to destroy “sovereignty and delivering [their] nation over to a socialist New World Order (NWO)”.

  9. Liberty Flame July 4, 2024

    I should also point out if you refuse to accept or if you concede that our nation’s borders are not under Invasion that American Sovereign and sovereignty is not being subjugated to attack by the means of stealth invasion of mass migration that is internally and externally 5th generation Warfare then the Constitution party is not a party of principle to the intended stated enumerated purposes of the Constitution but rather it’s just an informal libertarian lite party.

    Skousen should have been the the nominee he has a much more clear broader understanding regarding our nation’s real issues at hand and Randall Terry is a ballot laggard who will get slightly, above Blankenship but still minimum underwhelming.

  10. Liberty Flame July 4, 2024

    I have my point quite clear regarding Skousen.
    Congratulations CPers you’ll hath achieved the lame same underwhelming laggard results, that you always do because you can’t see the very thick trees that’s in front of you within the depths of the forest .

    Regarding Soviet Russia only small minded pea brain would refuse to accept and believe that International communism Soviet socialism is no longer prevalent in Russia despite the facts that are there for all to see and to hear.

  11. Actually July 4, 2024

    Flamer,

    I’m not going to toss your word salad, but I don’t think you answered my question. Skousen claims there are 360 million illegals that came in under Biden, of whom 180 million are on the voter rolls. At least, that’s what it says he said on this site. Did he actually say that? If yes, that’s not a minor slip up. That’s more people and voters than there are in the US.

    You didn’t really explain why they shouldn’t have nominated Terry.

    Russia now is not Soviet or Communist. Anyone who says it is, is profoundly delusional and out of touch with reality.

  12. Libertyflame July 4, 2024

    Skousen’s minor slip was not warranted for denying him the party nomination for the Constitution party his deep understanding of the real issues at hand regarding Internationalist communism globalist elitst is still top-notchs above and beyond.
    He also has a very much keen observation of the laws of this country he is a steadfast Patriot and wonderful God fearing man of the Lord Jesus Christ.
    I think once again the CP shot themselves, in the foot by refusing the nomination of someone who is more then an ample qualified in favor of someone that is simply a laggard on the ballot even though I do profoundly respect Randal Terry’s contribution to the pro life movement in his tirelessly efforts.
    Tom Hoefling is one of the modern forefathers of the modern abolitionist movement which seeks, to formerly abolish all human abortion and completely criminalizing it under constitutional color of law.
    His equal protection resolution is probably one of the most profound pieces of Fiat legislation that I have seen coming down the pipeline in a very long time also he was also named to Newsmax’s 100 most prolifers profile back in 2015.
    I am also highly, encouraged by Tom’s understanding regarding the threats of internationalist communism as International communist Soviet Socialist of Neo Soviet Russia/ CCP Red China along with their Globalist-elitist militarily Arms of the WEF whom together seeks, out worldwide global governance and World Empire upon the upon the backs of the West wanting and seeking our very demise as a civil Republic.

  13. Nuña July 4, 2024

    Joel Skousen is a calculating war-hawk trying to perpetuate and bring-back Cold War hysteria among his senile and gullible sycophants, so that he can go on selling them over-priced ineffective fall-out shelters.

    Tom Hoefling on the other hand is a banderite and a satanist who praises the persecution of the Church in nazi-occupied western Russia and who supports Biden’s stolen non-election and his torture and murder of his political prisoners and hostages.

    Skousen is a tool of satan through foolishness, whereas Hoefling is a loyal servant of satan by choice.

  14. Actually July 4, 2024

    Liberty flame, Skousen said over 300 million illegals came in under Biden and half of them are already registered to vote. If that was true, what would be the point of running for office?

  15. LibertyFlame July 3, 2024

    Tom’s running in the presidential election is indeed, most welcoming he adares to a true constitutionalist republicanist commitment regarding our nation’s laws and his anti-com policy regarding Russia-China is equally good though I do wish he would outlined a much more detailed structure regarding internal and external National Security overview .
    Still, Tom gets it in many ways the Constitution Party IMHO should have given Joel Skousen, the nomination as Joel’s has a much more keen overview regarding the real issues at hand especially, internationalist communism and globalist-elitism.

    You’re not very good at this ignoring thing, huh. You just can’t help yourself.

  17. No thx July 1, 2024

    The troll , unfortunately, wrote succinctly enough to be read by accident. Projecting as usual, of course. I still agree with Jim, and apologize for acknowledging it.

  18. Nuña July 1, 2024

    ¯\_(?)_/¯ You are free to leave, o “master” of sock-puppets No thx/Reality/Actually/Curious et cetera ad nauseam. Just as in real life, nobody would miss you.

  19. No thx July 1, 2024

    . I don’t read the bad joke entity’s blathering except short sentences by accident. I agree with Jim. If this site had a block feature, it would be blocked.

  20. Nuña July 1, 2024

    See my response to Jim below your blathering, when and if IPR decides to place it.

  21. No thx June 30, 2024

    Jim, next this joke entity will accuse you of being a “banderite” and the same person as everyone else who holds it out as a troll and gets sick of its antics and start spouting religious nonsense about your punishment in hell.

  22. Jim June 30, 2024

    I am forced to agree with your other critics: It is neither worth the time to read your comments, nor to bother replying.

  23. Nuña June 29, 2024

    Because “Ukraine” is in fact a terrorist organization with a totalitarian and racist ideology, which was founded in 1917 during the Russian Revolution and has no prior history or existence, but which masquerades as a country and as a people in order to legitimize carrying out the occupation of Russian, Hungarian, Polish, Cossack and Tartar lands and committing genocide against the native inhabitants of those lands, including the Jewish, Romanian, Slovak, Ruthenian, Rusyn, Serb and Armenian minorities, for over a century now and counting.

    The same applies to “Palestine”, another totalitarian and racist terrorist organization which, despite having only existed for barely one century, pretends to be a country and a people in order to legitimize the occupation of Israel and the genocide of its Jewish and minority native inhabitants.

    Not using quotes around these terrorist organization risks lending dangerous credence to their revisionist lie that they are a country and a people with more than a hundred years of history to their name.

  24. Jim June 29, 2024

    Why was Ukraine in scare quotes?

  25. Nuña June 28, 2024

    Except for the critical difference that unlike Hoefling, neither Terry nor Keyes are apologists for the 2020 election fraud and subsequent murders and persecution, nor for the ongoing genocide and occupation being carried out nazi “Ukraine”.
    Moreover, Terry actually contributed something to the struggle against infanticide with Operating Rescue, which is more than Hoefling has ever even aspire to do. And Keyes was a much better presidential candidate than antisemite Chuck Baldwin in 2008 or neocon war hawks George Bush and John McCain in 2000; while Hoefling has always been by far the worst candidate in every election he’s run in.

  26. Previous CP Voter June 28, 2024

    He’s functionally no different than Randall Terry, except that he has even less support.

    The guy is a total clown. An Alan Keyes hanger-on – sort of like a barnacle clinging to a barnacle.

  27. Joseph Fromuth June 27, 2024

    It’s rather late to announce a presidential campaign, but Randall Terry hasn’t stolen Hoefling’s thunder after all.
