Why I'm Running
for Congress in 2008

"The Corporate-Free Candidate"

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.

INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE JOHN MURPHY SUPPORTS OHIO CONGRESSMAN’S BILL OF IMPEACHMENT

CORPORATE MEDIA IGNORES INTRODUCTION OF THIRTY-FIVE COUNT ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT

CHESTER COUNTY, PA – According to John Murphy independent candidate for Congress in the 16th district "while Congressman Dennis Kucinich was introducing articles of impeachment against President Bush charging 35 counts of high crimes and misdemeanors ABC was covering a story about sending e-mails from heaven, CNN was covering a story about whether or not Obama was black or biracial and MSNBC was hot on the trail of a story about a brave man who managed to prevent his outhouse from being taken.  No wonder the United States is ranked 57th in terms of freedom of the press".  Only C-SPAN covered the story.

2008 FARM BILL GIVES FACTORY FARMS THE ELEVATOR; FAMILY FARMS GET THE SHAFT

WHERE IS THE “HARVEST OF RIGHTEOUSNESS”?

CHESTER COUNTY, PA – Whenever the members of the two corporate parties get together and agree overwhelmingly on a piece of legislation you can be almost certain that working-class Americans are going to lose out to the corporate criminals.  That is precisely what has happened with the 2008 Farm Bill passed on May 21.  Over two thirds of the Congress (316-108 in the House and 82-13 in the Senate), conspired to weaken family farms while strengthening huge agribusinesses like Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) and Conagra (both ADM  and Conagra were ranked 7th and 50th respectively in the top 100 corporate criminals of the 1990s).

INDEPENDENT CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE JOHN MURPHY CONDEMNS OBAMA FOR MOVING FURTHER RIGHT

DEMOCRATS CONTINUE TO APE REPUBLICANS

BOTH PARTIES OWNED AND OPERATED BY US CORPORATIONS AND ISRAELI LOBBY

CHESTER COUNTY, PA – From the beginning of his campaign Obama has refused to differentiate himself from the Republican candidate.  Like the Republican he opposes universal single-payer health care, which the overwhelming number of American people demand and he refuses to bring our troops home from Iraq.  Obama continues to use the rhetoric of "change" but fails to indicate what change would occur if he became president.  Just as there were no significant changes when the Democrat Congress replaced the Republican Congress, on Saturday Barack Obama further identified any future Democrat administration with past Republican administrations.
