Early Years:

David Jon Sponheim was born in Los Angeles, California -the youngest child in a family of four. His parents were both World War II veterans and educators. They had both signed a pact to protect and defend America against the great threat of Communism during the McCarthy Era, a pledge they strongly believed. When he was three years old, David remembers watching little Jon Jon saluting John F. Kennedy's casket on television and feeling extremely sad. At seven, David argued with Dow Chemical employees who came to his school to give a presentation. Even then, he felt that chemicals and pesticides were ruining the land we live in. This led David to start an Organic Food Sales business in the 1980s. David's mother was a professor of nursing. She gave him a test she gave to her college students, which he scored high on at a young age. He went on to skip a grade in middle school. His IQ has been tested as high as 185. His father was a highschool History and Politics teacher. David enjoyed discussing current events with him. He was influenced by the race of Jerry Brown, who ran a populist campaign. Jerry Brown got 8% of the vote and wasn't even allowed to speak at the Democratic convention! In high school, David scored 5 on the BC Calculus AP Exam and took college courses while still attending high school. David graduated as the #1 valedictorian of his high school at age 17. This was one year before the Bakke decision, and Universities had instituted quotas for underrepresented minorities. Therefore, David was turned down with straight A's from institutions that were accepting B-average minority students. David ended up attending UCLA, which was not his first choice. David was disheartened by professors in the Political Science department who were teaching the benefits of communism. David was raised to believe in the Cold War and believed that communism posed a great threat to America. Therefore, David chose not to continue education at an institution of higher learning. This was at a time when a college education did not have the impact of earning potential as it has today. David went to work for Natural Trading Company for a lady who was suffering from cancer. He helped her in her business until she passed away. He then pursued TV Production and Voice Over. He helped his parents extend their lives by moving with them out of Los Angeles to Whidbey Island, Washington. He served his community as the News Director for a local Radio Station. David continued to pursue his small advertising business while caring for his parents. Both of his parents passed away in 2001. When you lose your parents, you begin to question the world that you live in and strive to make it better. David developed ideas for the future of mankind and attempted working through the traditional means to bring these ideas to fruition. After facing a brick wall in the traditional system, David decided to start America's Third Party and run for President of the United States. David truly believes he can do a better job than the current administration, or any of the recent ones for that matter. He will listen to YOU!
