Why I Resigned
Without full public financing of campaigns we will never have fair elections. Cantor has bribed everyone who has local community influence very well. Most, if not all, of the sheriffs of the 12 counties in District 7 are bought and many local small time politicos have been paid off as well.Without ten times the amount of money I was able to raise I didn’t have a chance in hell of winning, because the system is set up to guarantee that the amount of money it takes to win a campaign preserves the tradition of moneyed interests controlling government. The amount needed to win is great enough that any candidate who could win is already so much a part of the system in order to run. They are not likely to significantly change the system.
People with great ideas that solve problems and help millions of people cannot get their ideas across without money. People with money with dumb ideas can. Take a look at the imbeciles we have. Without full public financing we will never have fair elections and never elect anyone who hasn’t already bought into the system, except for occasional accidents.
Jim Nachman has hardly any chance of winning, even adding together my Independent supporters and the support of the Democratic Party, because he doesn’t have enough money either. Clearly, he is not corrupt enough. Cantor is as corrupt as they come-Abramoff, Delay, Foley corrupt-and he will probably win because he is corrupt. He has a million dollars cash on hand for spreading his prpopaganda and lies. Don’t vote for Eric Cantor.
Don’t vote for Brad Blanton. Vote for Jim Nachman. I support Jim Nachman for Congress. I am giving him some money and telling all my friends. Give him some money, and tell all your friends. Maybe an accident will happen. Thanks.
Most unfortunate that Mr. Blanton has quit the race. While I don’t support his postion on a lot of the issues, the fact that he was not a Dem or a Rep was a big plus for me over someone with the same views running as one of the Duopoly. We need more people running for office, we need more choices. The people currently running just don’t cut it.
