Issue Position: Isn't Immorality the Real Issue?

Issue Position

I have watched election after election for over 35 years and it seems to me that nothing ever changes. We hear the same promises with very few ever coming to fruition. We have all asked what happens to those we send and the simple answer for so many is 'potomic fever'. With continual political games, special interests, backroom deals and re-election concerns, it's a miracle the American people receive any benefit at all from Washington.

Just in the past two weeks we learn of multi-million dollar bonuses paid to executives of Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac, 'legalized' insider trading going on with our elected officials, subsidies being paid to millionaires as well as loop holes for some millionaires resulting in zero taxes being paid. Now maybe I'm missing something, but I would call all these blatant cases of immorality. Taking bonuses from tax payer bail out funds, capitalizing from knowledge that would put a citizen in jail, and not paying taxes CAN NOT be acceptable any more in our country. If we have laws that allow such actions to take place, then we need new laws. If those in office will not write new laws to address these issues, then we need new people in office who will. If the immorality among our elected officials is not dealt with, nothing will change.

My focus, if elected, will be to lead every like minded official who claims to believe in the Biblical principles of our Founding Fathers, to start voting those principles. I will lead those to cast votes that put the American people first over party, lobbyists and re-election. If we do not re-engineer the foundational principle upon which votes are cast, we'll continue to get the same results. Second President John Adams said, "Our Constitution was made only for a religious and moral people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other."

I ask again; Isn't immorality the real issue?
