Veterans Speak

In Clovis, New Mexico, there is a large sign on the highway that speaks to the critical issues facing our country. At the bottom of the sign it says: "paid for by a Vietnam Vet still fighting for his country". Millions of veterans can see the dangers from within and from outside, this vet speaks his mind to the thousands of passing vehicles.
"SO NOW WE KNOW CHANGE EQUALS"
MORE DEBT
MORE TAXES
MORE REGULATIONS
MORE GOVERNMENT
MORE WASTFUL SPENDING
MORE CORRUPTION

Thanks to this vet for doing what he can!

Focus on Priorities

For all voters, and especially veterans, we need to focus on the priority needs of America in the coming election. There is a lot of smoke out there making it difficult to see clear solutions presented by candidates. I would offer the following three priorities for 2012 that must happen to recover America. (1) US GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO STOP SPENDING - balanced budget, new tax code, reduce government size. (2) RETURN POWER TO THE CITIZENS - State and local governments, schools, public services need to be removed from the federal government. (3) THE WAR ON TERROR IS NOT OVER - A new strategy is needed, re-examine every country and area we have troops, focus on the enemy, and provide more not less resources to our military. Veterans can look at candidates and measure their rhetoric by the three areas mentioned. Voters who know the threat can help recover our great nation.
