Open Letter To You.

December 6th, 2009

America is at a crisis point. Our national future is at stake. Our country, as we have known it, is in jeopardy. Never before in the history of civilized governments has one nation faced so many obstacles as we do today. We Are Over Taxed - Over Regulated and Under Represented.

Freedom and Liberty are being challenged by the evils of socialism and the constraints of big government. It is time that we realize that an out-of-control, extremely inflated, over regulating, tax-and-spend Big Government that is led by Republicans is just as wrong and evil as one led by the Democrats.

We have always known that the Democratic Party stood for socialist policies, entitlement programs at the expense of working families, high taxes and the destruction of the concept of American Exceptionalism. BUT WHAT we did not expect was that the Republican Party in this century would be just as bad.

Conservatives have always counted on the Republican Party to be the “STOP GAP” in Congress against the actions of the Democrats - but now we realize after reviewing the voting record of people like Spencer Bahcus, Olympia Snow, and Arlen Specter and the rest of the moderate wing of the current Republican Party that they are just as bad as the liberal democrats.

We are headed down a slippery slope to a centralized-socialistic government - one that our Founding Fathers never intended - one that will destroy the rights of the American people - the rights of our States and the United States of America. Each step that we take towards making Big Government the Caretaker of our lives, we move that much closer in making that Government our Master.” - We Can Do Better.

We use to be a nation of We The People - a Government by the People and for the People - But Now - thanks to people like Mr. Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Maxine Waters and Spencer Bachus - it is a Government by the Few and For only the Few.

Our Founding Fathers warned us about time such as this.

John Adams said - The jaws of power are always open to devour, and her arm is always stretched out, if possible, to destroy freedom …Remember, democracy never lasts long. if we do not take care of it -It soon wastes, exhausts, and murder itself.”

“They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.” - Benjamin Franklin

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government — lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.” - Patrick Henry

Allow me to share with you some facts to consider:

1. Today - according to the Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute we are 12 Trillion Dollars in debt
2. 307 Million people in the United States
3. So Each citizens debt is currently $39,000.00 in taxes to the federal government
4. Our National Debt Increases by 3.75 Billion Dollars Each Day
5. in 2004 our Tax Burden was ¼ our National Income
6. in 2009 our Tax Burden is 1/3 of our National Income
7. In 2008 The Federal Government collected 2.52 Trillion Dollars in Taxes
8. In 2008 it spent 2.98 Trillion - a deficit of 455 Billion
9. 37 cents of each dollar per person is owed to the Federal Government
10. We have only balanced the budget 3 times in the last 39 years
11. Our National Debt is 1.4 times larger than all of the combined debt of the nations of the world.

We cannot continue down this path of destruction. It is time for new leadership in Washington and for the 6^th Congressional District of Alabama.

We must remember that our freedoms are just one generation away from extinction. We cannot pass our freedoms and liberties to our children in the blood stream. They must be defended, protected, and handed down to the next generation… to do the same. If not, we will spend our remaining years telling our grandchildren what it was like in the United States of America where people once were free.

I’m asking you for your support and your vote. Together, we the people can take back our government from professional politicians and reduce it to the proper size. We can chart a new course for taxation, education, and fiscal responsibility. We must protect our Constitution and defend our borders. We must set the American people free - to work, invent and create the opportunities that will solve this crisis. Everything that is currently wrong with our Government can be solved by everything that is right with the great American people.

Our Founding Fathers require of us to protect the American Dream - where can be better, richer and fuller for everyone - opportunity for all to achieve!

I hope that you will join me in this cause of Freedom and Liberty.
