CAMPAIGN ISSUES

CAMPAIGN ISSUES and OPTIONS

Like many voters who inhabit the 10th Congressional District of Pennsylvania I have been receiving the expensive, glossy, full color Hegelian styled, bipartisan, issues management campaign ads from Republican incumbent, Don Sherwood and Democrat, Chris Carney. Since the beginning of October, I have received (at least) 12 of these ads and the letter from Carol Sherwood exonerating her husband from what she refers to as, his "mistake." I noticed that each of these financially endowed candidates have used their political capital to defame the character of the other rather than exposing the truth; i.e., that they want nothing more than to continue the 'business-as-usual' practices and agenda for their plutocratic investors.

Recent published 'Letters to the Editor' (Scranton Times-Tribune - 10/19/06) suggests a heightened level of perception among their readers that neither candidate will be able to remedy the damage that has been done to the integrity of our constitutional republic. To paraphrase an old saying: Emotional rhetoric may dupe some of the people some of the time, but it cannot dupe all of the people all of the time. Here are a few examples of how these ads (taken from the recently published Letters to the Editor), are duping the people.

L M, who misspelled 'Hannevig', took issue that "Mr. Sherwood, an elected congressman, identified himself to a D.C police officer as a mere "government employee."" Sherwood, in my opinion, did not lie. Sherwood was financed to run to represent the modern day privy council's corporate governance. Both candidates, Don Sherwood and Chris Carney, were on the Board of Directors of the United Nations Association of Northeastern Pennsylvania (UNA-USA) in 2002. Either candidate is, therefore, obligated to his corporate employer.

D McB, C C, S P, and J G-E, all commented (in various ways) about Don Sherwood's infidelity while seeming to ignore the fact that Democrat Paul Kanjorski remained silent about this matter that, were he faithful to his party, may have swayed the presidential count in northeastern Pennsylvania to Kerry; the candidate whose values were thought to be less pious than Bush's. It's quite evident that leaders in the two parties consider "fidelity" to be relevant only to the party faithful on which they are dependent.

L B wrote, "Mr. Carney's record on the Second Amendment is dismal. He is rated an "F" by the NRA". I remind Mr. B that, in the Pennsylvania Constitution, Article 1, Section 21, "The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned." In Pennsylvania, the right to keep and bear arms is NOT a Second Amendment (Militia) issue. When purchasing arms, one question asked is, by Pennsylvania law, one question too many! The duty of a representative is to advocate for the citizens and their state to retain the unaliened rights implied by their State's Constitution. Therefore, the NRA's representative to Congress must be someone who will "preserve, protect and defend," with fidelity, the people's rights as retained and reserved to them by their state's constitution pursuant to the Ninth and Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. (The 9th and 10th Amendments limit federal encroachment into the powers of the State and the people therein.)

P M comments; "Don Sherwood has released an ad claiming that Chris Carney is going to raise your taxes." These tax issues, when understood, are the best example of bipartisan issue management. Whether Carney or Sherwood is elected to Congress will not matter. Both will be obligated to maintain or advance the various aspects of global governance envisioned by their corporate employers. Since Congress relinquished its power to coin money to a private cartel of bankers in 1913, there has been a progressive hidden tax involved with the printing of metallically devalued coins and Federal Reserve notes. For instance; It cost the owners of the Federal Reserve between $.04 (four cents) and $.07 (seven cents) to print a "bill" of any denomination. Therefore, at 4 cents/bill, for every $10 of a man (or woman's) labor, $9.96 is pocketed by the owners of the Federal Reserve and an additional $2 (approximately 20% of the $10) is demanded by IRS agents on behalf of their employers; the owners of the Federal Reserve.

The bipartisan issues management processes and procedures preclude open minor party and independent debate that would educate the voters to their approximate $11.96 indebtedness to the owners of the Federal Reserve for every $10 of their labor; a despicable system of voluntary servitude that, with little disruption to the average American, could be legislated back under the powers of Congress whereby the IRS would be abolished, and $9.96 would be recycled into the Constitutionally delegated services to be provided by Congress.

The continued bipartisan perpetuation of this irresponsible fraud on the American people by their bipartisan elected representatives to Congress is morally reprehensible and unlikely to be remedied by electing more bipartisan candidates.

Fortunately, as stated before, emotional rhetoric cannot dupe all of the people all of the time.

In Pennsylvania, more than 14,000 voters in the 10th Congressional District showed by their vote in the 2004 election that they wanted representative change in Congress. This year, it may take a few minutes more but, you can utilize the democratic process by writing-in minor party, or independent candidates who have showed a willingness to run, but did not attain 2006 ballot access. If you write me in, I would be honored to serve the concerned people of northeastern Pennsylvania who desire to transition from this insidious form of voluntary servitude to a bipartisan corporate governance, back into the envisioned blessings of Liberty as magnificently outlined in the Constitutions for these united States and the Pennsylvania republic.
