If and/or When Elected.

July 31th, 2009.

..If and/or When elected, I plan on spearheading an effort to make it so that the City, Attorney's, Police Chief's, Manager's etc:.. and the County Manager's, County Council-er, Etc:.. become Primary/General Ballot, Elected Positions. I also feel the U.S.D. School Principal's and Vice Principal's, as well as the School District Superintendent, become Primary/General Ballot, Election Positions. I feel these hired positions would be better regulated by Elections during the City or County Election Primaries and General Elections.

Campaign Auctions, coming soon.

July 27th, 2009.
..I will be collecting Contributions in the form of new goods for Campaign Auctions. I can combine and set up packages for the Auction. I plan on Kitchen Packages, Pots, Pans, Cutlery etc:.. I will be getting a lot of new goods and scheduling Campaign Auctions. You must be 18 to get a Bid Number and I have the right to keep a Aggregated Contribution Book. If you are close to the $2,000.00 maximum Contribution limit for the time frame from now until noon of the Monday prior to the Tuesday of the Primary Election Day, I will deny you an Auction Bid Number. All bidders must have a Bid Number to Bid at the Campaign Auction. All Bid payments will be paid to the Auctioneer and the Auctioneer will pay me the contracted difference of their fee's based on the contract between myself and the Auctioneer. All other Auction Rules apply at their Power of Attorney, as contracted.

My Campaign Raffle Rules and Play.

July 27th, 2009. {Please read the update below}.


..I will be getting "Contributions" from Convenience Store's soon. Example, a store Contributes up to $500.00, for a single Raffle. I contract with them and they allow me to come in for 1 day. I advertise the Raffle and set up on the contracted day. I set up a table and give away Raffle Tickets all day. At the end of each hour, I will draw out 20 tickets and destroy the other Raffle Tickets I collected in that hour. I will do this 8 times in a row. The beginning of each hour, after the first hour, starts with 20 Raffle Tickets in it. The 20 Tickets pulled at the end of hour 1 start hour 2. At the end of hour 2, I will draw 20 Tickets and these start hour 3. At the end of the day I will draw the last 20 Tickets and place them in a box. I will draw 1 winner from that box. They will win that $500.00, "TAX FREE"! As people get a Raffle Ticket, I will write their name and address down. They must be 18 to play. I can collect Campaign Contributions, separately. I "CANNOT" demand or ask for any money for a Raffle Ticket. I can limit 1 Raffle Ticket, per person, per hour. I will let you know when I get these scheduled.
***************************************
***************************************

..::UPDATE:.. Sept 2nd, 2009..
******************************

..I will be talking to people about issues and discussing my views on issues at these "FREE RAFFLE" events. I want to meet with people. I feel this "FREE RAFFLE" approach will bring in more people for me to listen to and discuss issues. I want to set up other events and meetings also. These "FREE RAFFLES", through the contributions, can set up campaign budget funds so I can do that.

..Things have changed a little bit. I will still be doing "Free Raffles". I will list the changes here.

.1. I will not be collecting any Campaign Contributions the same day as scheduled, conducted "Free Raffles".

.2. I cannot specify any of the Business, Association, Organization or Private Individual Contributors as the contributors for the Raffle. I can and will list any and all, of the business, organizations, and association contributors on my website, as "Business, Organization, Association Contributors". Individuals will be on a seperate blog page. Again, their Contribution is not tax deductable.

.3. I will still collect and pull Ticket Stubs on an hourly basis and only keep 20 tickets at the top of each hour by random drawing. Those ticket stubs will start the next hours box. If the hour is declared as a drawing hour, I will draw 20 tickets and place them in a empty box. Then I will pull that designated hours winner. I will try to be able to give up to the Law of $500.00. I will then pull a couple of alternates and destroy all the rest of the residual 20 tickets and that previous hours non 20 ticket stubs. I will pull 20 ticket stubs every hour and draw a winner at ever posted/scheduled hour for the prize.

.4. People still have to be 18 with an approved State ID or Drivers License.

.5. People still can only enter 1 time per hour and they can only win 1 time per scheduled day. They do not have to be present to win. They must be present to participate and to receive their hourly "Free Raffle Ticket".

.6. I plan on using the "Perforated Carnival Tickets". The back of these has a place to fill out the persons name, address etc:.. Their ID must match the information on the "Raffle Ticket Stub Drawn". If it doesn't, I then go to the alternates and they must follow the same rule.

.7. Each separate prize will be paid in cash and each separate prize drawing winner will receive a receipt. I will keep a record of winners for my Kansas Campaign Finance Reports that I file with the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission.

.8. All rules that are posted at the drawing the day of the drawing will be considered the rules that will be followed and upheld. I will update this website as deemed necessary. Any changes in the rules will be declared and posted ahead of time here and with the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission as well as the Mayor or City Manager of the City where I will be conducting the "Drawing".

.9. As a courtesy, I will contact the Mayor/City Manager of each city before I conduct a "Free Raffle Drawing" in their city. These elevates any confusion and gives them a chance to review the "Free Raffle". I have nothing to hide. They have the right to review these dealing in their city. It helps them protect you, their resident/neighbor.

..10. If a Police Officer plays while on duty, I will have to give their winnings to their Department "Directly". The Department will decide if they can or cannot receive the winnings. {Sept. 06, 2009}.

..If 1,000 businesses, organizations, associations or individuals give me $10.00 each in Contributions, that would be a total of $10,000 I would receive in Contributions. I would give away 1/2 in drawings. $5,000.00. That is 10 $500.00 winners. In giving away 4 winners a day, that would be 2 and a half days worth of drawings. If a total of 10,000 businesses, organizations, associations and individuals, State wide were to give me $10.00 each, that would be $100,000.00 in Contributions. Half of that would be given away in drawings. $50,000.00 would be 100, $500.00 winners. 100 divide by 4 would be 25 days of "Raffle Drawings". Each business would be listed alphabetically on my website as a Contributor on a seperate blog page, like these other 4. That is $10.00 for advertising for businesses, organizations, associations and a seperate blog page for individuals. That is pretty cheap. If they give today, they stay listed all the way through Aug 2010 at a minimum. They are viewed at every drawing. 25 days with 4 drawings per day. With my website named through out the day and people visiting the site seeing me and seeing them as Contributors. People seeing them as companies an groups who helped give out the 1/2 of the Contributions by Contributing to my campaign. $10.00 bucks each! Topeka has 1,300 to 1,900 businesses and a multitude of associations, organizations and private indivduals. At $10.00 each, that would be $13,000.00 to $19,000.00 collected in Contributions, from businesses alone. That is $6,500.00 to $9,000.00 just out of Topeka. That is 13 drawings for $500.00 on the $6,500.00 and 19 drawings on the $9,000.00. Remember, I can accept up to $2,000.00 from each Contributor up until Aug 2010. I cannot accept any Contributions from anyone other than private citizen individuals between Jan 2010 and June 2010. If you want to see these "FREE RAFFLES" going on, spread the word.

..This is not buying votes because it is Contributions. It is not my money to be buying anything. Please express your desire to have these "Raffles/Drawings" held in your city/cities. I will be talking shop at every "Free Raffle". I am using the "FREE RAFFLES" as a way to meet people and discuss issues. I can be reached at 1-913-294-9375 or west.herb@yahoo.com

Old business thats still important.

July 27th, 2009.
..Please take the time to read the following blogs on another site.

1. http://www.wen2k.com/tell.php?Id=1664

2. http://www.wen2k.com/tell.php?Id=2463

..I am not sure why, but the first one directs you to an article I commented on. Look at the 3rd comment. It has my name on it. Click onto the colored links. These blogs show some of the corruption I hace witnessed in Kansas. I want to stop these and other problems. The second one should go directly to the link.

WIBW 580 AM, Propaganda!!!!!!!! {Updated July 27th, 28th, 2009}.

July 28th, 2009.. I was put on hold for an hour today by Raubin Pierce and staff at WIBW 580 AM. I find that very disturbing. Look at the article and comments at www.cjonline.com titled, "Close call inspires law reform." I was asked what my topic was and placed on hold for an hour. I was in support of all Law Enforcement Agencies in Kansas and Raubin blocked that. He thinks it is cool for the A.G. to tell the K.L.E.T.C. and the KS-CPOST they are wrong and have been wrong in teaching Cops how to function, unmarked. They are at www.kletc.org and www.kscpost.org That is dangerous and utterly stupid. I called and e-mailed Michael Osterhout with Morris Communications in Augusta Georgia. His e-mail is, Michael.Osterhout@morris.com Someone should have picked back up and told me they would not allow me to discuss my topic on-air. As you are aware, the blog/chat was disarmed. I told them this and they still made me hold for an hour and then hung up on me. They told, 2,688,418 Kansas Citizens to kiss off. I am re-stating my opinion that the Radio Station "PROPAGANDA'S". I will keep you informed.


July 27th, 2009...I have apologized for the use of the word "Propaganda'. I will not be erasing any of the content because I feel I would be telling a lie in doing that. I will keep the original article contents posted so people can see what I am apologizing for. If I were to erase it I would be wrong. Thanks again, Herbert West 3rd, Candidate. Check out the comments, it also explains the matter. His side and my side.

..I had sent Raubin Pierce some e-mails. Raubin Pierce decided to send me a return e-mail. It was along the lines of, "He doesn't want notified of comments that others post on articles in the news, websites etc:.. He only wants to read the articles and use that as his opinion base. Comments from others are not important, he can facilitate his own". Talk Radio??? It is just live Propaganda instead of printed Propaganda!!!!!!!! Oh yea, Morris Communications owns both, WIBW 580 AM and The Topeka Journal,[cjonline.com]. Herbert West 3rd, Democratic Uncontested Candidate for Kansas Governor, 2010.

Free Self Defense sites I use.

July 25th, 2009.

..1. judoinfo.com
..2. stenudd.com/aikido

..I have practiced for years. I advise others to do the same. It builds confidence and develops restraint. It is safer than weapons. Most Weapon and Non Weapon Fights are either Wanted or Unwanted in nature, Retaliatory in nature and Reflex Reactive in Response. The 2 forms of Self Defense are "Hand to Hand", and "Weaponry Utilization". The combination of both has a foundation of each. The Roots or Foundation is were the Homage is reflected, respectively. Each has its Merits and Stigma's. Chose well, thanks again, Herbert West 3rd, Democratic UN-Contested Candidate for Kansas Governor, 2010.

**Update** Dec 26th 2009.

I e-mailed Reserve Deputy Steven Seagal at the Jefferson Parish Sheriffs Office in Louisiana. I e-mailed him with what I call "Eclasia". "Eclectic Asia". Which I feel is, "The art of being eclectic in a Martial Arts form through graftation". Asia is the oldest living, working registry of Martial Arts. I realize everyone who studies more than one style will posses or develop one style from them all. The styles naturally graft into each possessor. I am no better or worse than any other man. I just enjoy sharing respectfully.

I have noticed that Japanese Martial Arts forms are common. Dr. Jigoro Kano combined 30 Jujitsu forms into one and called it "JUDO". Yea, JUDO is a combination of 30 different Japanese Styles or Forms of self defense. He did this in Tokyo Japan in 1882. He then founded the Kodakon in Tokyo, Japan as a place to teach and practice these combined forms as this art, JUDO.

I notice similarities in many Martial Arts forms. Example, "An Aikido move has multiple moves to accomplish one motion". When someone attempts to throw a punch at the Aikido practitioner they move to the outside and step beside the attacker and place their arm across the attackers chest towards their neck and step on through pushing the attacker backwards onto their own back". In Hung Gar, the practitioner steps to the side but, places their left arm back under both arms of the attacker, placing their left shoulder towards the attackers right outer middle chest and then the defender/practitioner sweeps their arm in a clock like fashion and lifts both arms of the attackers arms up and the defender pulls back and completes the sweeping arm lift to throw the attacker back and off balance with a lifting motion as they come out of the kneel and lift". In JUDO, "the defender can grab the wrist of the attacker and turn away and placing their left shoulder towards the attacker, while pulling the wrist and arm on past them as they step through. The defender then place their left arm across the attackers upper chest above their strike arm that the defender has a hold of and straightens out their arms to their own sides and then they pull back and fall to the ground placing the attacker on the back with the defenders arm and back across their neck slamming them into the ground".

What do I see in combining these moves as one move? The attacker punches at me and I grab their inner wrist and step towards them pulling their arm on past behind where i was standing and then I place my left arm over their right arm and slip it under their left arm and then lift it up as they reach at me to grab their right wrist back from me with their left hand. In this I then slightly kneel down and sweep my left arm under their left arm and continue the sweep and place my arm up and over theirs and it ends up pointing straight back pointing at the wall behind them, on the rights side of their head. This places their left arm across their chest and trapped below my left armpit and then I step back facing them and pushing their right wrist into their left shoulder area. I then pull my left arm back slightly and bend it around their neck and grab their right wrist from behind and pull their right wrist up over their left shoulder. I remember to keep my left elbow in place, slightly downward to pin or trap their left arm under my left arm. I can then free up my right hand to strike the left side of their body".

Variations from this position:.

1. I can kick their legs back and pull their head to the ground shoving their face straight down and placing my weight on their back as I pull them towards me and at the ground.

2. I can pull back and place my left foot against their right hip and step up and place my right foot into their face and let them have or pull their right arm back from across them. This distracts their defense on their left arm. when I kick through I would re-grasp their left arm. Remember, their left arm is now in your crotch area. Your left foot is below their left arm and your right foot is now above their left arm. As they pull back, they will spin out to their left. This will force their right side back behind them. This move when completed will force them onto their back landing with their head on the floor to the defenders right side and the attackers legs to the defenders left and away from the attacker. You now have them in an arm bar. Just lay back and complete the arm bar with your legs."

3. Pull them down from the front by grabbing their left shoulder and spinning back towards your right and throwing them on their left side.

4. Lower your left arm and bend their left arm across your left knee. Move your left arm down their left arm for leverage.

5. Reach down with your left arm and grab their left outer wrist placing your palm towards them. Sweep you palm towards their face and kneel and spin backwards laying back and throwing their bent arm to your right side towards the ground. This will cause them to spin on top of you so be careful. In doing this raise your left arm and sweep it across their left shoulder and point it back behind them again. This force will break their left elbow and dislocate their left shoulder as you pull their arm out from your right side. You will be on your back and you will be pointing straight out to your right. This pain will cause them to move off of you and drop to their left onto the ground. In JUDO you would complete this by folding their wrist behind their shoulder in a shoving motion placing their wrist just past the outer shoulder and putting their elbow beside the right side of your face. As you roll to your right to continue into their left movement, use both your hands and grab their wrist and roll onto them pushing their left bent arm, wrist into the ground just beside their outer left shoulder and climb onto them.

6. While in the above standard position, pull them towards you and go into variation 1. When reaching around their left side of their head with your right hand, grab your left wrist and twist up and around them. Kick your left leg over their right shoulder and spin up onto their back setting on them with the back of their neck against your crotch. Pull your legs up and lean back and use your full weight on their head placing it into the ground as you sit on them. Or, reach down and grab their chin and pull back on their head as your feet hit the ground, as is done in Greco Roman Wrestling, GoJu Ryu, Jiu Jitsu and Aiki Ju-jitsu JUDO.

I am not certified in any Martial Arts form or style. I collect videos, books and love the Arts. In the traditions there is a minimum time frame of practice per belt under an instructor. I never did this, nor do I hold any belts in Martial Arts. I respect the Martial Arts I love by not disrespecting the traditions by feeling I hold any belts. I advise the same to anyone reading my posts and using any thing in this article or any other shared source. I know enough to defend myself. I don't teach. I am not allowed by tradition. Practice well and wise.



******I wrote this saying along time ago as satire,

***I have met 3 Masters in life. Each taught me something different.

1. Master Jun Fan Sze, Bruce Lee. "Learn the Art of Fighting without fighting".

2. Master Kim, "Kung Fu". "As quickly as you can remove the pebbles from upon my hand".

3. Master Hung Chow, ""???"". "As quickly as you can remove my foot from your ass, thus removing the need for me to stick around".

I have walked through life 43 years. I have walked away without fighting and felt the win within that advice. I still have my balls, physical and psychological. And I don't drag Masters behind me like a skid mark, as I walk through life, yet I feel and respect their options, within their presence.

In reality I have met many Martial Artist who never met me. I am graced that they shared their Arts and views with the world, through books, video, movies, DVD's, and magazines. I have viewed styles and heard opinions from across the world. I am glad to have shared and heard what they had and have to show. I still have a lot to see and hear. I don't mind a bit. The journey is more rewarding than the end of the trip, for me. Thanks again, keep practicing safely and respectfully. "Peace".
