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. I just can’t thank those folks enough for the courage they displayed and the confidence they placed in me. Interestingly, now there are more voters in the United States who identify themselves as independent of the Corporate Party. 42% of all Americans now consider themselves either as Independents or as a member of one of the newer parties. That means the independent voter in this country will play a larger and larger role in our political life. In fact it will be up to the independent voter to save our Republic.
We have become an imperialist nation. We have troops stationed in 127 nations throughout the world and your tax dollars are paying for that. If another nation gives any one of our corporations a problem, we threaten them with the sixth Fleet and you pay for that as well. History has shown that no country can survive as a Democratic Republic at home while maintaining an empire abroad. Greece tried and failed. Rome tried and failed. England tried and, to her credit, realized that if she did not dismantle her empire her Republic would fall. The British Empire is gone but a Democratic Republic in England still remains. Unless the United States dismantles its empire abroad, rebuilds its economic base at home, replaces "free trade" with balanced trade and drastically cuts the Pentagon budget in order to reduce the national debt, the United States will no more be a Republic than Rome was under Nero.
There are no longer two major political parties in the United States. There is, indeed, only one political party in the United States. Some have been calling it the "War Party", others the "Business Party" but I prefer to call it the "Corporate Party" since both factions, the Democrat and Republican, are financed by the same 1500 corporations. Because the candidates of the two factions are dependent on these corporate contributions the American people are no longer seen as the real constituencies but simply as consumers who are persuaded each year to choose between Coke and Pepsi.
