Is this the end of the line for Gordon Allen Pross<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Besides abolishing taxes, Pross believes in securing America’s border with drones, restoring the American dollar, ending the Federal Reserve banking system, bringing back a military draft and putting an end to “the tyranny” in American government, he said.<\/em><\/p>\n

Drones?\u00c2\u00a0 Like… those things used by Amazon dot com to deliver packages?\u00c2\u00a0 Ye Gads!<\/p>\n

He called Congress a “pit of vipers” and told the Herald if he were elected he would expose “those people who hold the purse strings to your gold dust.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Huh.<\/div>\n
\n

One of Pross’ priorities in Congress would be to try and start a self-sustaining community of about a thousand people who are “down on their luck,” he said. He would want the community to mass-produce a commodity to help turn their lives around.<\/em>
\nIf successful, Pross believes the community could become a blueprint for politicians to implement across the nation, he said.<\/em>
\n“I would want to make everyone a millionaire in two years,” he said.<\/em><\/p>\n

When everyone’s a millionaire, nobody’s a millionaire.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Pross didn’t receive a single vote in a straw poll following a candidate forum in June. He dismissed the notion that he is a long shot in the primary, saying he hasn’t stopped fighting since 1998 and he won’t stop now.<\/em>
\n“If you hate me you need to vote for me,” he said. “I’m going to bring things to the universe you can’t even imagine<\/strong>.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Wait.\u00c2\u00a0 What?<\/div>\n
\n

Pross will not be discouraged if he doesn’t make it to the general election for the fifth time, he said. He is confident his willingness to take on corruption will one day lead to him representing the district.<\/em>
\n“You want America or ‘Pretendica?’ ” he said.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes.\u00c2\u00a0 Candidates like them<\/a> really do spice up<\/a> the electoral process, don’t they?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Final returns in 2014.\u00c2\u00a0 137 votes.\u00c2\u00a0 point two percent of the vote.\u00c2\u00a0 I think it is the worst of his showings.\u00c2\u00a0 Just ahead of Kevin Midbust<\/a> … unless there’s a cache of eleven Midbust votes lying about somewhere.<\/div>\n
