In the
2006 congressional election
eight thousand
people
in the 16th district had the courage to say "NO" to the two
factions of the Corporate Party. In 2008
that number rose
to twelve thousand!
A 50% increase over 2006!
That's incredible when you
consider that the Republican candidate had one million dollars
at his disposal and the Democratic candidate hundreds of
thousands of dollars. My campaign had only a few thousand
dollars since I WILL NOT take corporate contributions or be
owned by a political party.
There is no question about it. The 16th District needs an
independent candidate in 2010 who truly embodies the values of the
majority of its voters and who is not tainted by huge corporate
contributions as is the Republican candidate and questionable
financial management as is the Democratic candidate. Because my
campaign did not take special interest money in 2006 and 2008 we
incurred personal debt in excess of $20,000. It is simply not
possible for an individual who is not affluent to continue incurring
such debt. Unfortunately
there will be no choice for the people of the 16th
District in 2010; just the same old corporate owned candidates.
We will
however be making a concerted effort this year to eliminate our
campaign incurred in 2006 and 2008 so that we can again
challenge the two corporate owned parties in the future. One
such effort can be seen in our new webpage entitled "Union Made Free Stuff". We are offering some rather interesting products in an effort to
eliminate our campaign debt over the next year.
On behalf of all of the people who helped my campaign in 2006
and again in 2008, I wish to thank those courageous people in
the 16th district who had the guts to say "No" to the corrupt
two-party system.
