Occupiers;
My name is Jack Talbert and I will be running for Congress in 2012. I think the 99% has to make a focused statement that addresses the problem and solution in a way that is easy to understand.
I have been standing with my brothers and sisters in the Occupy Wichita movement in Wichita, Kansas. I know that people are angry, I know why the protests, but what can we do to provide solutions.
Independents Day:
I propose that a bone chilling message which cannot be ignored must be sent out.
Our Congress is made up of Red states and Blue states, but our country is red, white and blue. Bicameral does not mean two parties, it means two chambers. The main problem is lawmakers that are owned by Wall Street. We can end this, but it will take the 99% to accomplish.
I have a Declaration of Independents. The Declaration is to be read and signed by only independent candidates for Congress - like myself. I am a Libertarian, but that is still a third party. We must end the two party control of government.
When a candidate signs the Declaration of Independents the 99% agrees to register and vote for that candidate.
Please disseminate this to all. Make the message be...
WE ARE TAKING BACK OUR GOVERNMENT FROM WALL STREET BACKERS.
Jack D Talbert 4th Congressional District Libertarian Candidate to the 113th Congress
785-280-1564 jack - at - talbertcorp.com The first signer of the Declaration of Independents
WE CANNOT AFFORD TO VOTE FOR ANOTHER REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
That is a very clear message that cannot be misconstrued.
WE ARE GOING TO WASHINGTON TO GET OUR COUNTRY BACK
Pompeo is going to own you... he had 59% of the vote. I would recommend picking a new district, or a new state.
I know this district is R+14 (Whatever the average Republican vote is add 14 percent to that here) and Pompeo is invincible, "but by the time this is over everyone will know that even a god can bleed" - Leonidas the First.
I figure that if I can find 300 dedicated campaigners and people actually read the Declaration of Independents (a declaration by independent candidates) we have a shot at getting our country back.
