Statement from the Candidate

I am running a small grass roots campaign, and, at least to this point, instead of seeking money I’d like for people who agree with my ideas and positions, and would like to hear more about them, to help me plan meetings of friends and family in their homes, or at a church, library or community center of their choosing. Call me to arrange a time for such a meeting and discuss ideas about the future of the nation.

Impeach Obama

I’ve written several papers about the things the next congress must do early in their term in order to protect our liberties, our economy and get business prospering and hiring again, but another very important thing the new congress must do is bring impeachment charges against Barack Obama, and the sooner the better.
Specific impeachable charges against Obama:

1. He unconstitutionally took private property (GM and Chrysler) and personally ushered them through a designed bankruptcy process that ended with him and his minions owning the companies. This was a “taking”, pure and simple, and deprived investors of their due process and interest in the companies.
2. He is not defending the constitution nor the laws of the land by turning his back on the illegal immigration problem that is plaguing our nation. In fact, he is intentionally playing politics with our border security, as witness his telling Senator Kyle that he’s holding back on border enforcement in order to use this important aspect of our security as a bargaining chip against Republicans when it comes to negotiating “comprehensive immigration reform”. And then to top this charge off, he sued Arizona to kill their bill, which was only intended to enforce the federal laws that it mirrored but that Obama refuses to enforce.
3. Congress must subpoena Obama’s czars and make them testify, under oath, exactly what they are doing and with whom they are doing it, and it’s a certainty more charges will be forthcoming against the Obama administration.

Non-legal anecdotal but persuasive documentation that Obama is a failure and is not fulfilling his presidential duties:

1. His administration has generated papers devising ways of circumventing federal laws designed to keep illegal immigrants out of our nation, and these papers describe how executive initiatives and legal slight-of-hand will allow illegals to stay here, in spite of laws to the contrary.
2. He is not enforcing voter fraud laws (the Franken senate election is one example of voter fraud, among many).
3. He is not prosecuting voter intimidation offenses (the New Black Panthers blocked a voting station with clubs and threats of violence).
4. He places American cities at monetary and terrorist risk by insisting that prosecution of terrorists be in a large city and not at Guantanamo or another military installation.
5. He has installed czars who are plotting against the welfare of the nation.

Adults always end up cleaning up the messes of children, and so it’s up to the next congress to do the painful and dirty work of cleaning up the filth left by the present immoral administration and legislature.
Given the problems that have been created since Obama took office, and given that all of these problems have gotten constantly worse instead of better in spite of his telling us over and over that he’ll “never rest” until the problem is solved, how does a self-centered man like Obama take the failures and criticism he receives and how does his fragile psyche stand the rejection and disappointments heaped on him?
The constant failure and rejection and resulting turmoil don’t bother him at all because that’s the expected result when a politician unconstitutionally assumes control of the private economy and our freedoms, and it’s what is required to make more people dependent on government for support and sustenance. Instead of being a failure Obama has been monumentally successful in taking over and destroying our nation. He’s always in search of another crisis to take advantage of in order to further divide the nation, and he has two more years to find more of these crises. The next congress must impeach him and remove him from his seat of power before he does irreversible damage to this great nation.

Conservatives Must Call Obama’s Bluff

Recently Barack Obama stated that soon he will call the “bluff” of lawmakers who have spoken in opposition to his outrageous and ruinous deficit spending. Our child president wasn’t at all clear as to what kind of bluff he will be calling, but you can bet he will propose raising taxes to help float the deficit a while longer in order to kick the can a little further down the road, but conservatives must themselves call the president’s bluff and oppose raising taxes, absolutely and completely, on an already underemployed and overtaxed nation. Instead the next congress must propose all or part of the following in order to stop the government control and over-spending we have seen the last 2 years. The following list will absolutely save hundreds of billions of dollars each and every year into the future and will as a result encourage business expansion and a reduction of joblessness while paying down the debt and removing big-spending, life-controlling liberals from our official lives:

1. Immediately defund, and then repeal, Obamacare.
2. Repeal the Financial Reform Act.
3. Abolish the E.P.A. and the departments of Education and Energy, reduce their budgets to zero and repeal their enabling legislation.
4. Defund Obama’s czars and call them to testify before congress, under oath, as to what they are doing and with whom they are doing it.
5. Defund the 16,000 new IRS agents Obama proposes, then get rid of the IRS completely and move to the FAIR tax.
6. Dismiss all federal employees whose positions are rated as non-essential.
7. Get the U.S. out of the U.N.
8. Return all money saved above to the U.S. Treasury to pay down our debt.

Our nation has reached the point at which it can no longer afford liberals and their governmental agencies issuing restrictive directives and laws and controlling every aspect of our lives and the economy. We’ve reached the tipping point at which the offending agencies must be abolished and their employees sent home and the lights turned off. In November, from all reports, we will likely rid ourselves of the liberal legislative members of our government by voting them out, but the administrative agencies just keep pumping out regulations and directives no matter which party is in power, and they can only be stopped by depriving them of funds and people, which must be done by the next congress being courageous enough to abolish them, thereby calling Obama’s bluff. If these and other serious steps aren’t taken to save our government our children will have very unpleasant lives ahead of them as our government just keeps growing and smothering our private lives. This bluff is not an option: begin the degrowth of government and keep taxes low and our nation will prosper once again. By Dave King

Obama Provides A New Perspective On 1930s Germany

In my past thinking about pre-World War II Germany I always thought that good Germans should have done more to stop Hitler and should have recognized what he was doing and where his Nazi party was taking their nation. But with the current Obama-Reid-Pelosi triumvirate leading us, and our inability to stop their intentional destruction of our nation regardless of how hard we peacefully protest and regardless of how negative their poll ratings become, I’ve begun to rethink my criticism of the decent pre-war German population. Peaceful people will often find that their principles keep them from revolting, and they continue to hope that the destruction they see being done to their economy and their freedoms will stop and that the next election will remove the filth from power. How’s this philosophy working for the current United States so far?

If we don’t quickly stop the leftward drift of our government, if we don’t stop spending money we don’t have, if we don’t return to the Constitution and the rule of law and exercise civilized and established legislative practices in congress, we will end up with total disruption of our society, and our childrens’ futures will be bleak at best. I liken Obama’s A.C.O.R.N. and his union thugs to Hitler’s brownshirts, and I know that they will commit violence whenever they are instructed to do so. And the less popular and more threatened Obama becomes the more likely he is to instruct his minions to crack down on us dissenters out here in fly-over country and make us more docile and agreeable to what he has planned for us. And with what we’ve already seen from Obama with his takeover of the auto industry, the banks, the insurance industry and the finance giants, I have no doubt that an oil spill (can you say “B.P.”?), a new banking collapse or a large Wall street loss would cause him to nationalize another chunk of our economy, thereby sinking us further into despair and joblessness. At this point all Americans would lose the things that we have worked and saved for our entire lives, just as the decent Germans found their freedoms and liberty ended by Hitler’s “emergencies” and his lies about external attacks, thereby necessitating his forceful takeover of the nation in order to save it.

We must retire all liberals from office in November and remove funding from their bureaucracies and agencies before their policies irrevocably destroy this great nation. But we must also be very careful who we elect to replace them and make certain that the people we send to Washington understand the unprecedented threat our nation is under, and that they are strong enough to stand up to and resist the powerful liberal opposition that they will face. And we must keep our opposition to Obama, Reid and Pelosi peaceful and recognize the reality of our situation: if we overreact it will cause our collapse. With the likes of Bill Ayers (the 60s radical terrorist who killed and bombed, and wishes that he had committed more violence now that he reflects on his unfinished career) in Obama’s camp, we have to assume that worse is being planned for us than we’ve already seen, because we are surrounded by radicals who will not allow the presidency of Barack Obama to pass them by, nor will they allow a new crisis to go to waste without their taking advantage of it for their evil aims. Be very afraid. We have only one opportunity to arrest our nation’s demise, and we’ve got to get it right.

Ending the Liberal “Reign Of Error”

For at least the last 40 years, regardless of which party was in power, the liberal bureaucrats were retained, and generally increased their intrusion into the lives of Americans. But with the radically liberal administration of Barack Obama we’ve reached a tipping point, and the next congress must begin dismantling and eliminating the bureaucracies that are choking America’s prosperity and freedom. We must end the liberal “Reign of Error”. To accomplish this dismantling we must deny liberals their official positions, their people and their money. I envision this occurring in the following manner:

Unelect liberals: It appears from all reports that liberals will lose in November and that Americans are fed up with liberals and their often traitorous policies, but we must be wary of who we elect to replace them. We need serious people of courage and conviction who understand the disastrous position our nation is in and who know how to get us out of it. What we don’t need in Washington is a candidate who is more interested in having cocktails with the power brokers and appearing on the evening news than in dealing severly with our nations’s urgent problems. We must choose wisely this time.

Starve liberal bureaucracies of money and people: First defund and then repeal Obamacare and the financial reform act, then repeal Cap and Trade as it exists in the House. Then defund and repeal the enabling legislation for the EPA, the departments of Energy and Education, defund Obama’s czars (then call these fools before congress for an under-oath investigation), defund the 16,000 new IRS agents, and deny all funds to the United Nations and remove ourselves from that immoral band of rogues. This would get rid of the major threat and drag on our economy, which is big and corrupt government, would save billions of dollars every year and would allow a major pay-down on the federal debt.

Get businesses growing again: With the major liberal bureaucracies gone there will be more money for businesses to expand and with the removal of restrictive regulations confidence will be restored, business will thrive and the jobless rate decline.

These and other similar measures must be taken within the first 100 days of the next congress in order to get the economy growing again. The longer we delay getting spending and debt under control the closer to becoming Greece we get. We must stop the concentration of power in government and return to a dependence on ourselves and our liberty.

If we don’t quickly dismantle liberalism and its bureaucracies we will lose our nation and our children’s futures. But we must do it without rancor, retribution or celebration. It’s just another point of business the next congress must take up, and it’s by far the most urgent business that our nation has ever dealt with. The items listed above may seem draconian, but the damage liberals have done to this wonderful nation are even more draconian, and we must have the courage to face and destroy them and their policies. As a free, sovereign people, we don’t have to put up with their immoral policies any longer.

We Must Reverse Our Nation’s Statist Decline

This November the citizens of the United States will decide the future of our great nation: it will either continue its socialist/statist/big-government decline to irrelevance and poverty, or reverse the current direction and continue its ascent to the great “city on the hill” envisioned by Ronald Reagan. But in order to continue our march to greatness we must defeat the liberals who have intentionally spent and regulated us to this dangerous tipping point.

In order to put our house back in order, to stop the spending and stop the over-regulating, I insist we do the following:

1. Obamacare: defund it if we must and repeal it if we can.

2. Finance Reform: defund it if we must and repeal it if we can.

3. Release from service all federal employees rated as “non-essential”.

4. Deny funding to Obama’s czars, then subpoena them to testify, under oath, before congress, to justify their policies.

5. Deny funding to the 16,000 new IRS agents.

6. Repeal Cap and Trade legislation.

7. Defund if we must, repeal if we can the E.P.A., the Education and Energy departments and repeal their enabling legislation, then release their employees from service.

8. Get out of the United Nations.

9. Complete the wall across our southern border and station Military personnel there until finished.

10. Lower taxes on corporations and offer tax incentives for capital expansion for businesses.

These things and others will allow us to save billions of dollars and reduce the lack of capital and the regulations that are choking job growth and stealing our freedoms. Big government, due to recent liberal over-reaching, has proven itself to be our greatest problem, and if we allow this moment in history to pass without restoring our nation to common sense, constitutional adherence and sanity, we will be condemning our children and grandchildren to a bleak, harsh future, the likes of which we can only imagine.

As stated in a previous Blog Post, as a candidate for the U.S. House from the 3rd District of Kansas, I pledge, if elected, to seek to enact the items listed above in the first 100 days of the next congress.

Pesky, Unintended Consequences Prove Government Incompetence

Government is unable to run things well because it’s removed from the real world of consequences and results. Here are few examples:

In the 1960s when automobile air bags were being developed, Chrysler and the government were in disagreement as to the pressure at which air bags would be released upon deployment during an accident. Chrysler thought the pressure that the government wanted was too great and could cause injury to front seat occupants, but government writes the laws and they got their way. Then a few years ago several children were killed when the overly powerful bags released and cause fatal injury. Chrysler was right, but did you hear of government hearings into the responsible party, did the government blame itself or demonize its own decision-making abilities? No! The government is above blame or responsibility. You can imagine what would have happened if Chrysler had developed the high-pressure bags.

Corn, via government edict, is now being used for fuel, which means that people who depend on corn for their main food source must pay more money for it, and have caused rioting because they are unable to feed their families. So what does the government do? They raise the percentage of corn required to be used in fuel this year, thereby making it more difficult for families to feed themselves. Government is causing hunger.

More recently Senator Henry Waxman, a democrat from California, called the CEOs of AT&T, Verizon, Deere and several other companies to appear before the Senate and explain why they announced large losses against earnings due to the passage of Obamacare. He was hoping to grill the CEOs for criticism of the unconstitutional healthcare bill and to demonize them for being greedy, until he learned that the companies are required under law (probably a law that Waxman helped get passed) to make such a statement or pay a penalty under SEC rulings. Obamacare will hurt corporations and will cause more unemployment, but the good senator who probably didn’t even read the 2000 page bill, didn’t know, and apparently doesn’t care, now that he does know its consequences. Profits and losses in the real world don’t interest liberal legislators at all. He cancelled the hearings with the CEOs with no apologies to them. Does he feel like the fool that he is for his rash announcement of the hearings? Does he recognize that when legislators write contradictory laws that maybe government has become too large?

But the best example is that our vigilant legislators wrote their own healthcare coverage out of Obamacare. They were so busy arm-twisting and rushing to get votes to pass the unconstitutional bill that they didn’t take time to read the bill that has the potential of destroying our economy along with our health, and didn’t know its provisions and how it impacts themselves and their staffs.

Government is too large and intrusive, and we must reverse the growth trend in November 2010 and vote the liberal bums out before they destroy us all.

The First 100 Days of the Next Congress

I became a candidate for the U.S. House from the 3rd District of Kansas because I didn’t hear a clear statement from those already in the race as to what they would do to restore our government to sanity and constitutionality, so here is my promise as a candidate as to the official actions I’ll pursue, if elected, in the first 100 days of the next congress:

Repeal or defund Obamacare.

Repeal cap and trade.

Defund Obama’s czars, then call them before congress and investigate their actions.

Defund the EPA, then repeal it’s enabling legislation and disband this terrorist group for its declaration of regulatory war on America.

Defund the Department of Education, then repeal its enabling legislation and let the states decide their own educational guidelines.

Defund the 16,000 new IRS agents, then start the process of repealing the 16th amendment and installing a Fair Tax to replace the IRS.

Dismiss all federal employees rated as “non-essential”.

Review the need for the federal employees who have been hired since Obama took office and eliminate these new positions.

Reinstate the Bush tax cuts.

Place National Guard troops on the Canada and Mexico borders, then complete the physical fence already partially in place.

Get out of the United Nations and don’t give this pack of rogues another dollar.

Improve healthcare with:

    Tort reform to protect doctors from unreasonable law suits

    Install health insurance portability to cross state lines and
    increase competition for healthcare dollars

    Legislate critical care pools to help with ruinous medical
    expenses

    Encourage Health Savings Accounts

Help businesses form and expand with immediate tax incentives for capital purchases and help them start hiring again.

Drill here, drill now.

Return all TARP, stimulus and bailout money to the treasury so it can’t be further wasted.

Celebrate openly America’s unique relationship with Israel and show our support for Israel and our desire to help defend them against Islamic killers.

STOP THE SPENDING!!!


These things are the least we can do for our children and grand children.
