Let's start with Cheryl Lindsey Seelhoff, AKA "Heart". Heart is running for president under the banner on the Free
Soil Party. While her chances of winning are virtually nil, her stands on issues make for a fascinating glimpse into the
radical feminist world view. She is also a supporter of "Biting Beaver" (see relevant page). The following are
some of her quotes, as well as quotes of her supporters.
Please note that the links to these articles and blog entries are subject to change at any time. There are at least two
reasons for this; one is that there is currently a dispute occurring between Heart and what are said to be "Men's Rights
Groups" over statement made on her blog (see the biting beaver section). Some sites have been closed or are otherwise
unavailable. Second; there seems to be a tendency to delete any posts that create controversy. The feminists involved seem
to prefer to cover their tracks when confronted.

Quotes Attributed to "Heart":
"I propose a man tax because 95 percent of the violence in the world is committed by men, and yet women must pay,
financially and in all sorts of ways, for the consequences of this violence anyway.
A hundred dollars per year, per man, is not that much money. but it could begin to address the way boys are raised to
be violent.
Men do work very hard to silence women who speak up and don't back down and won't back down. This is my reality, my lived
experience, for all of my life."

"I advocate complete disentanglement from males in general although, having been entangled with males so often in
my life I understand that the system is expressely designed to KEEP women helpless and, in many respects, dependent upon men.
I keep coming back to the idea of a large tract of womyn's land but how do womyn raise those funds? How do we secure the
land? Then there is the problem of male children and so forth.
Nevertheless I think that this is where I'd place my hope. I'm fresh out of hope that men will ever 'come around' or that
we can tweak the system enough to force them to change. My hope isn't in changing the system, but rather in setting up a womyn
safe land to retreat to. Indeed, I've decided over and over again that if I ever hit the lottery or become a best selling
author or what have you that I will be devoting my money and energy into buying land specifically for womyn."
"This is simply another manifestation of the male species uncontrollable desire to control wymyn, with any means
and at all costs. A man's mind cannot handle the idea of wymyn beginning the revolution and casting them off. So they set
out on campaigns of terror like this to maintain the status quo.
This makes me so angry that I'm crying and shaking as I type this. Wymyn are never free from the violence of the men,
it seems, even on the internet. It's like a classic case of womb-envy we have the power to create, but they can only destroy
and tear down."
Note that the link to these quotes was deleted. It is uncertain if this quote is from heart or one of her supporters.
For heart's political party please go to www.freesoil.org. There's a wealth of marxist ideology to read. Please notice
the peaceful and kind way that she states her policies, and how that contrasts to the blog entries. You can really sense
the hatred in her blogs, but not so in her official political statements. How interesting.
