2012 Presidential Elections
It is time for us to form a plan for the Presidential elections in 2012. Those of us who want to return America to the days of old common law and limited government need to find an honest candidate who is capable of winning the Republican primary, and that, once elected, will stick to the conservative principles that he or she campaigned with. We need to take special care to ensure tha tour next President is not someone who will go down the same road as Presidents that have lead our country in the past, who campaign with certain principles, but then ditch those principles once they get into office.
For example, Franklin D. Roosevelt told us that he was against war, but he pushed for America to enter World War II. He froze all Japanese assets, cut off the Japanese oil supply, and stopped Japanese access to iron and other vital raw materials.This man was effected by the desire to attain more political power, and was made corrupt by it.
We the people should make it our goal to get someone into office who will resist the urge to acquire more political power, and who will push to reduce the size of our government.
There is a mass shortage of honest people in the political realm, so finding a candidate who will reflect our values will be difficult. In the next couple of years, we will start to see a few candidates for the Republican primary. But we will need to do a lot of background checking in order to find an honest individual who reflects the values of our founding fathers. Remember,
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
-Thomas Jefferson
The key to turning our country back is for we the people to speak up, and to remind our government that they work for us, and we will not vote into office anyone who acts differently. For too long we have allowed corrupt people to deceive us into thinking that they will give us whatever we want, and then when they get into office they follow their own political agendas and forget their promises. Our country will see it’s demise if we continue down this path.

PS. In a later posting, probably during Thanksgiving break, I will write a review on Richard Mayburry’s: Whatever Happened to Penny Candy? His book does a good job of explaining the political philosophy behind the American Revolution, and is chock full of good information that every American should know.
PPS. Have you visited Blow Out Congress? While we are talking about getting conservative, honest people into our Government to replace the corruption that exists now, you may want to check out their website. The site is run by Jeff Bolton, and he suggests that come 2010, we vote every single Congressman and woman out of office and start from scratch.
