SCRATCH MY BACK

Another blatant example of what's wrong with American politics recently hit the news. In Sept. of '09, Obama's appointed cronies pressured the Office of Management and Budget to approve a $535 million stimulus loan to Calif. solar energy company Solyndra, a company that two of Obama's largest campaign contributors had $69 million invested in. Now, two years later, that company is bankrupt, and again Obummer steps in and forces a restructuring of the bankruptcy settlement so his buddies will get ALL of their $69 million back before the taxpayers get a dime from the liquidation of company assets.

As I said before, the second step to fixing our problems is to totally revamp our election system. We need to TOTALLY remove the influence of private money in elections. That means complete government fixed and equal funding for each candidate. No more PACs, no more vote buying. Each candidate will run on a platform that specifically outlines  their stances on current issues, their political philosophy, and their intended courses of action if elected.

Of course the first step has to be to get the current crooks out of D.C. or we'll never get anything like that accomplished. We have the opportunity do that just over 1 year from now. Fellow patriots, please continue to keep your friends and acquaintances informed, keep writing, and VOTE.

In Liberty,
