CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS

Please consider the following as American moves closer to election day.
Incumbents are returned to office 98% of the time.
The biggest reason is funding—by the Democratic and Republican parties, and unions.


You can check out information at the Family Research Council to view campaign contributions and committee memberships. Please educate yourself on this very important topic.

FRC Congressional Directory--pick your state, legislator, then PAC for list of campaign contributions; Committee memberships


Next, if Americans no longer make campaign contributions to parties (Democratic and Republicans) but instead make campaign contributions directly to the candidate, this loosens the hold the party has on the candidate.
The elected candidate is not so beholden to the party and is able to cast votes according to conscience rather than party dictate.
However, your contribution is capped by election laws.


Now, consider this.
You are allowed to make campaign contributions to PACs (political action committees) with fewer restrictions in larger amounts.
There are a number of organizations that operate in this fashion that might interest you.
Any such contributions are NOT TAX DEDUCTIBLE.

SOCIALISM -- EASY TEST

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan"..

All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A....

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was happy.

When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail becausewhen the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. Could not be any simpler than that.

Remember, there is a test coming up. The mid-term election in 2010!

THE STATE PUBLIC PENSION CRISIS

A website is referenced below which you may choose to download; it’s an extremely interesting study report by the Heartland Institute, entitled "The State Public Pension Crisis."

Basically the study confirms what we all suspected: that a significant part of the big government financial insanity is the totally out of control government employee's pension programs in most of our states. The study concludes that the pension programs in 42 out of 50 states are unsustainable (potentially leading to bankruptcy.)

California is a typical horror story:

According to public databases, more than 5,000 retired California government workers receive annual pension benefits exceeding $100,000.

Ten California retirees currently receive more than $220,000 a year in pension benefits. Topping the list is Bruce Malkenhorst, who retired in 2006 after a 27-year run as Vernon city administrator. He receives $41,639 a month – $499,674 this year. Not bad for having run a town of just 92 people that has no school, park, library, or grocery store. This “city” near Los Angeles is made up almost entirely of industrial properties. Malkenhorst was being paid $600,000 a year when he retired.
