Who is Brian “Ryan B” Doyle Candidate for US Congress 3rd District of South Carolina

We received a very pertinent email question recently.  Francis and Patricia Gorman of Aiken, South Carolina inquired as to whether Brian Doyle is a Conservative, Democrat or a Republican.

Brian Doyle is a registered member of the South Carolina Democratic Party and a registered Democratic Candidate for the South Carolina Third Congressional District.

Labels can be misleading and inaccurate things to apply to any person because the same label may have different meanings to different people.

Brian Doyle is a fiscal conservative.  If supporting the Second Amendment and all of the Bill of rights and Constitution of the United States of America is a conservative thing then Brian Doyle is a conservative.

If providing for the general welfare and the common defense is a Conservative thing then Brian Doyle is a conservative, if it is a progressive thing then Brian Doyle is a progressive.

Brian Doyle embraces all that is honorable and honest in the ideals and aspirations of the Democratic Party and in the hearts and minds of the American People.  However questioning what is wrong with the way any party or its leaders or representatives must be seen and accepted as a patriotic duty and not branded as something else.

Brian Doyle embraces and respects that which is good, sound, honorable, honest and reasonable regardless of if it comes from, Ron Paul, Tea Partiers, Democrats or Republicans.  No one party or group has a patent or exclusive hold on what is true or helpful for our country and our people.

Brian Doyle is a firefighter, a paramedic/nurse, radio personality a father  and a person who is concerned with the well being of our Country, our State, our People, our Children, our Health, our Jobs and our Futures first and a politician second.

Brian Doyle embraces what is good and true and rejects what is false, dishonest and unproductive.

Doyle on June 8 Ballot for US Congress

On March 26, 2010 at 11:16 a.m. a new page in South Carolina History was written when I, as a young progressive/conservative African-American candidate for the 3^rd Congressional District,   filed and was placed on the June 8, 2010 primary ballot.

This historic event occurred despite the State Democratic Parties executive leaders discrimination and brief that “a black man can’t win.”  The Party leaders purposely misled and lied to me concerning the availability of the voters’ lists and their ability to placing me on the State party web-site for 4 months.  Nevertheless we must push forward to victory!

Picking and choosing a candidate is for the voters and not the State party elites.  Dictatorships must not be allowed or tolerated in this country.  The party elites employed lies to advance their candidate Jane Dyer as the only choice for the people and attempted to not let the people choose by placing only her on the web-site and giving only her the voters’ list to deprive the people of their right to choose the candidate who actually stands a realistic chance to defeat the Republican machine.

I believe we must fight to protect our country and our Constitution and Bill of rights.  We must have real change in our district and country.  Immigration Reform, Education, Health Care and our reformation of Trade Agreements for REAL employment stimulus are a priority for me.

Jane Dyer agreed on March 2, 2010 at 1:53 p.m. in an open letter to me::

“Mr. Doyle, Thank you for your letter to Jane Dyer and your request to hold debates in each of the counties of the district. We would like to wait until after the filing period officially ends before we begin scheduling debates and events throughout the district. We look forward to talking with you again after that period.”Best, Jamie Hahn – Jane Dyer for Congress

I hope that Jane Dyer will be a candidate of her word and step up to the plate and participate in debates and question and answer sessions on the issues and not merely attempt to allow the party to pick and choose for the people.   I am asking all concerned civil groups and organizations in our communities and media groups to also step up to the plate and make us, the Democratic candidates, accountable to the people.

I would love to see new leadership in our State Party.  Leadership that will not see color as an issue, but will deliver real change and gain seats for the people of South Carolina.  Something these so called party leaders, mere corrupt political hacks, haven’t done for many years…….  “If it doesn’t work we must fix it now and not later.”

I must take the opportunity at this point to express my sincere respect, admiration and support for Vic Rawl in his heroic efforts to defeat and replace Jim Demint, another incumbent arrogant pompous political hack who has taken FOUR MILLION DOLLARS in PAC (mouthpiece money) and as most of the other incumbents in the Senate and Congress, like Judas, sold out the people for a pocket full of silver.

Federal Law Suit against State Democratic Party

This is a sad time for the State of South Carolina and the United States of America.

Our South Carolina State Democratic Party has refused to honor, respect and follow the United States Constitution.

I have been given no choice, but to file this law suit against the Party and others because they continue to sabotage my campaign and refuse to treat me as they treat other candidates and refuse to  follow our federal law.  I am alleging purposeful violation of my rights, purposeful violation of the election laws and the Constitution of the United States and corruption and illegal acts on the part of elected officials.

These so called public servants have become so powerful and so arrogant that they no longer respect or care about the needs and wishes of the people in general and the  African American and working class citizens and their votes in particular.

We must put a end to the misuse and abuse of power by those who we have selected to serve in office and represent us.   We must take control of our politics and our elected representatives.  The needs and voices of the people must be heard. Our children, our jobs, our education, our police and firefighters, small businesses  and our very cherished freedoms must be protected from greedy politicians and powerful interests who sell out our jobs and freedoms to get wealthy at the expense of our children’s futures;.

I ask you all for your votes and your support in my battle to save South Carolina.

Thank you.

North & American Central Trade Agreements

South Carolina and many other states can no longer stand for the callous disregard of Washington for the effects that the so called Free Trade Agreements have had on our people.  (“They’re broken and we must fix them”.)

The time has now come for someone to stand-up for American jobs.  I remember the words of President Ronald Reagan to the Soviet Union. “Tear down that wall”.

I am calling on President Obama, “tear up the Free Trade Agreements and start anew.”  Give us something that benefits the people and not big business and big banking.  We have given them too much already.

I will fight to restrict imports into this country by China and Mexico as to the amount of goods allowed in yearly.  This would give American manufacturing jobs a chance of surviving.

We can no longer operate under these broken trade policies.  “When it’s broken, we must fix it.” Neither Congress nor our President wants to address our trade agreements.  But I must demand change before China owns the United States.

I will introduce legislation to slow down and limit the amount of goods allowed into the United States.  We need real change to our Country and our Trade Agreements.

I vote for Brian “Ryan B Doyle” is a vote for the people of South Carolina and America.

Press Release

January 7, 2010

GMAC DEAL vs. MEDIA/BROADCASTERS

The Obama Administration has refused to consider the requests of small local media and broadcasters for Federal assistance in these times where internet news and large media conglomerates are putting local newspapers and broadcasters out of business.  Local news sources are suffering large revenue losses while the large consolidated media and news services flood us with false and misleading big business propaganda.

Those of us who support honest local newspapers and broadcasters find it hard to accept that the Treasury Secretary gives GMAC another $3 billion dollars of taxpayer money after already having given them  $12.5 billion dollars.  Just more bonuses for rich executives and generations of debt for our children and grandchildren that will not do one bit of good for the people or the economy.  We seem to be headed back down the same track as CTI Corp. followed.  Getting millions of dollars, paying bonuses, not accounting for the money, asking for additional funds and then filing bankruptcy.

The failure to audit and properly supervise the use of trillions of dollars of money that our families will be paying for the next 100 years  for the benefit of  these banks sends shock waves through the minds of Americans and your elected Congressmen and Senators couldn’t care less.

I believe the treasury secretary should step down a once.  We can no longer take care of his friends in the banking industries.  Geithner is surrounded by his friends in the banking industry at expense of all struggling Americans.

I must agree with my great friend and radio colleague Lou Dobbs.  When will this open door to banks and friends of the treasury secretary end?

Our country is about to face the second round of mortgage failures that is just over the horizon.

Mr. President we the people can no longer support the treasury secretary’s behavior and decisions to fund falling banks.  I agree with the few courageous and honest members of Congress.  We must support our honest local media outlets.  This is their time of need.

Ryan B Calls for Immigration Reform Needed Now

January 7, 2010

Immediate Press Release

1-888-208-6739

www.briandoyleforcongress.com

Immigration Reform Needed Now

The time for immigration reform in Washington is RIGHT NOW!

We cannot permit our borders to remain unprotected from illegals and smugglers and we cannot permit all illegal’s to remain here for free.

Our country is in crisis.   Our immigration system is broken and needs to be fixed immediately.  I will support and introduce strict immigration reform and demand that Congress act and act now!

I believe we can only give those here illegally limited options for obtaining legal residency and a oath towards citizenship.  I will fight to pass legislation that provides the following:

Option 1

Anyone illegally here and has been here less than 10 years must register with INS immediately and leave the country within 120 days to be considered for a re-entry visa and the ability to apply for permanent residency and eventually citizenship  within six months.  (This is a good faith process for coming forth about their status).

Option 2

Anyone illegally here who has been here more than 10 years but less than 20 years must register with INS immediately; prove that they have paid their taxes;  and demonstrate gainful taxpaying employment, ability to read and write English and a clean record to obtain a legal residency and the right to apply for permanent residency and eventual  citizenship.  He/she would be allowed three years to fully pay established penalties or fines and extra taxes in order to be granted the right to remain here.

Option 3

Anyone illegally here and has been here more than 20 years must register with INS immediately.  These persons may be allowed to stay in the United States.  They would be subject to fines and penalties.

All illegal immigrates must be clear and free of all felony criminal charges and drug charges to even be considered for residency.

• Anyone in the United States less than 10 years must apply for residency and leave within 120 days in order to be considered for prompt re-entry.  Failure to do so will result in loss of the privilege.  Each person must be able to speak and write English on least an 8^th grade level.  Except in the most compelling situations of humanitarian urgency illegal persons shall not receive public services, assistance or funding other than basic food and shelter until they are returned to their native lands.

This great country is built on immigration.  With the exception of Native Americans we are all part of an immigrant family.  I do appreciate the contributions that immigrants bring to this Country and I do not want to close the door on honest hardworking decent people who make a contribution to society and are anxious and willing to become honest legal Americans.  We cannot, however, tolerate being flooded by people who do not contribute and come only to take from this country, break our laws, live off of welfare and engage in criminal activities

Doyle for US Congress wants Treasury Secretary to Resign

Bank Executives Bonuses investigation

We have seen mortgage company executives and bank executives receive million of dollars in bonuses.  Two bank Executives have received more than a billion dollars in bonuses since the collapse of our financial institutions.  Bear Stein Chief Executive Officer received $384 million; Lehman Brothers Chief Executive received $541 million.

These things are not and have not been accidents.  The richest people in the world have grown tired of allowing this Country to have a high standard of living and they have decided to take it all back.

Any so called politician that is giving you a big smile and telling you that the picture is just to big for you to understand is taking the money, doing what he or she is instructed to do by his rich corporate bosses and the public be damned.

Anyone who has the nerve to stand up and ask the hard questions is labeled a kook or a socialist or some other meaningless word and merely ignored by the corporate media that is also owned by the banks and corporations.

The reason our so called government has failed to investigate the collapse of our financial systems is that it has been done to us on purpose as an excuse to take what is left even faster and to give us less and less of what we and our families have worked for all these years.

We have seen million of Americans lose their retirement and savings.  Only to see our elected and appointed officials stand by allowing us to be used and abused by the greed of these big bankers and global elites.  What ever happen to criminal charges for misleading and defrauding investors and shareholders?  Why hasn’t the Treasury Secretary requested the Department of Justice investigate these actions?  BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING PAID NOT TO!

I am calling on Congress who has the authority to investigate an hold hearings into the great theft and abuse of Shareholder’s, Investor’s and taxpayers’ money.

If we fail to put people into Congress and the Senate who are not part of the problem the problem will only get worse.

The answers are not easy and the powerful bankers who want to own and control the whole world will not give up easily.  If we fail to take a stand and end the complete theft of our money, natural resources and out children’s futures we will have no one to blame but ourselves.

I have five questions for those in Washington?

1. Where has our money gone and how do we get it back?
2. Who is protecting the taxpayers’ in Washington?  Republicans?, Democrats? Lobbyists? The Administration? Or NOBODY.
3. Who’s guarding the hen house (the Treasury Department) oh I’m sorry we are allowing the fox to do so!
4. When will the elected officials in Washington started investigations? When will elected officials allow our Attorney General Holder to fully do his job?
5. When will Treasury Secretary give President Obama his resignation as he has left the bank door open and invited the robber to help themselves.

THE TRUTH IS KNOWN.  IT MUST BE TOLD.  ITS TIME FOR ACTION NOT SMILES AND PROMISES.

Ryan B calls for Investigations and Accountability of TARP Funds

Investigations and Accountability – WHERE DID THE MONEY REALLY GO

VOTE BRIAN “RYAN B” FOR INVESTIGATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY

I am calling on Congress and the Department of Justice to investigate former Treasury Secretary Paulson and the Corporations that received TARP Funds.

It seems that we and the Federal Reserve gave trillions of tax payer dollars to wealthy corporations only to have it disappear without any benefits being realized by us.  We gave away enough money to pay off every home mortgage in the country.  Now that would have been a stimulus.  The banks would be paid, the “derivative” problem would be solved and the American people and our economy would have a real stimulus.  Families who don’t have a mortgage to pay off could receive an income tax credit so they would be stimulated too.

The executives are still getting their huge bonuses, with our tax money.  I want to see an investigation concerning how much of the TARP money made its way back into the pockets of the same greedy politicians who gave away in the form of campaign contributions and other “pac” money. We have seen hard working citizens’ retirement savings and benefits disappear overnight.  People worked hard every day for their life saving only to see executives on Wall Street and banks and mortgage companies motivated only by greed cause one of the greatest collapses in American history.

Now where I’m from to mislead and steal from people is a crime!  I notice that our now Treasury Secretary has yet to call on the Justice Department to investigate how and why Americans were “raped” at the hands of Executives.

My first day in office I will call for investigation to see where, when and how these funds were used and why tougher restrictions were not issued controlling where our money went.   Geithner has failed us.  He has allowed the American people’s money to be stolen and given to big executives’ as a flat out gift in the form of undeserved bonuses and he has failed to turn this over to the Justice Department for a full investigation of Executive wrongdoing.

CTI Corporation received $2 billion dollars of our money with no accountability only to come back to the treasury to ask for more before filing bankruptcy after being denied additional funds.

Where is the accountability for the $2 billion dollars?  WHERE DID IT GO???   Where are the independent audits and investigations into the spending of taxpayers’ money by these banks and investment groups?  Where is our Treasury Secretary? Who’s guarding the hen house? It’s clear to me that the bankers are guarding the bankers.

I will not stand for the misuse of the our tax dollars and I demand full and complete investigations.  I hope that none of our elected officials in Washington are embarrassed when it turns out they received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the very people who got our money and did nothing to help us with it.

Percy Sutton, A World Leader, dies at 89

NEW YORK (AP) – Percy Sutton, the pioneering civil rights attorney who represented Malcolm X before launching successful careers as a political power broker and media mogul, has died. He was 89.

Marissa Shorenstein, a spokeswoman for Gov. David Paterson, confirmed that Sutton died Saturday. She did not know the cause. His daughter, Cheryl Sutton, declined to comment Saturday when reached by phone at her New York City home.

The son of a former slave, Percy Sutton became a fixture on 125th Street in Harlem after moving to New York City following his service with the famed Tuskegee Airmen in World War II. His Harlem law office, founded in 1953, represented Malcolm X and the slain activist’s family for decades.

The consummate politician, Sutton served in the New York State Assembly before taking over as Manhattan borough president in 1966, becoming the highest-ranking black elected official in the state.

Sutton also mounted unsuccessful campaigns for the U.S. Senate and mayor of New York, and served as political mentor for the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s two presidential races.

Jackson recalled Sutton talking about electing a black president as early as 1972. Sutton was influential in getting his 1984 campaign going, he said.

“He never stopped building bridges and laying the groundwork,” Jackson said Sunday. “We are very glad to be the beneficiaries of his work.”

In a statement released Saturday night, Gov. David Paterson called Sutton a mentor and “one of New York’s and this nation’s most influential African-American leaders.”

“Percy was fiercely loyal, compassionate and a truly kind soul,” Paterson said. “He will be missed but his legacy lives on through the next generations of African-Americans he inspired to pursue and fulfill their own dreams and ambitions.”

President Barack Obama called Sutton “a true hero” to African-Americans across the country.

“His life-long dedication to the fight for civil rights and his career as an entrepreneur and public servant made the rise of countless young African-Americans possible,” Obama said in a statement.

In 1971, with his brother Oliver, Sutton purchased WLIB-AM, making it the first black-owned radio station in New York City. His Inner City Broadcasting Corp. eventually picked up WBLS-FM, which reigned for years as New York’s top-rated radio station, before buying stations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Detroit and San Antonio between 1978-85.

The Texas purchase marked a homecoming for the suave and sophisticated Sutton, born in San Antonio on Nov. 24, 1920, the youngest of 15 children.

Among Sutton’s other endeavors was his purchase and renovation of the famed Apollo Theater when the Harlem landmark’s demise appeared imminent.

“The Apollo and its staff stand on the shoulders of Mr. Sutton as the theater continues to flourish,” said Jonelle Procope, president and CEO of Apollo Theater Foundation Inc. “(He) will be greatly missed and will always be an integral part of the Apollo legacy.”

Sutton’s father, Samuel, was born into slavery just before the Civil War. The elder Sutton became principal at a segregated San Antonio high school, and he made education a family priority: All 12 of his surviving children attended college.

When he was 13, Percy Sutton endured a traumatic experience that drove him inexorably into the fight for racial equality. A police officer approached Sutton as the teen handed out NAACP pamphlets. “N—–, what are you doing out of your neighborhood?” he asked before beating the youth.

When World War II arrived, Sutton’s enlistment attempts were rebuffed by Southern white recruiters. The young man went to New York, where he was accepted and joined the Tuskegee Airmen.

After the war, Sutton earned a law degree in New York while working as a post office clerk and a subway conductor. He served again as an Air Force intelligence officer during the Korean War before returning to Harlem in 1953 and establishing his law office with brother Oliver and a third partner, George Covington.

In addition to representing Malcolm X for a decade until his 1965 assassination, the Sutton firm handled the cases of more than 200 defendants arrested in the South during the 1963-64 civil rights marches. Sutton was also elected to two terms as president of the New York office of the NAACP.

After Malcolm’s assassination, Sutton worked as lawyer for Malcolm’s widow, Betty Shabazz. He represented her grandson, 12-year-old Malcolm Shabazz, when the youth was accused of setting a 1997 fire that caused her death.

Sutton was elected to the state Legislature in 1965, and quickly emerged as spokesman for its 13 black members. His charisma and eloquence led to his selection as Manhattan borough president in 1966, completing the term of Constance Baker Motley, who was appointed federal judge.

Two years later, Sutton announced a run for the U.S. Senate seat held by Jacob Javits, although he pulled out of the Democratic primary to back Paul O’Dwyer.

Sutton remained in his Manhattan job through 1977, the same year he launched a doomed campaign for mayor that ended with Edward I. Koch defeating six competitors for the Democratic nomination.

Sutton was among the first voices raised against the Vietnam War, surrendering his delegate’s seat at the 1968 Democratic convention in protest and supporting anti-war candidate George McGovern four years later against incumbent President Richard Nixon.

In addition to his radio holdings, Sutton also headed a group that owned The Amsterdam News, the second largest black weekly newspaper in the country. The paper was later sold.

Sutton’s devotion to Harlem and its people was rarely more evident than when he spent $250,000 to purchase the shuttered Apollo Theater in 1981. The Apollo turned 70 in 2004, a milestone that was unthinkable until Sutton stepped in to save the landmark.

Sutton “retired” in 1991, but his work as an adviser, mentor and confidante to politicians and businessmen never abated. He was among a group of American businessmen selected during the Clinton administration to attend meetings with the Group of Seven (G-7) Nations in 1995-96.

“He was a great man,” said Charles Warfield Jr., the president and chief operating officer of ICBC Broadcast Holdings Inc., when reached early Sunday. He declined to comment further out of respect for the wishes of Sutton’s family.

The Rev. Al Sharpton said he last visited Sutton in a nursing home Wednesday. He recalled meeting Sutton for the first time at age 12; Four years later, Sutton paid for his trip to a national black political convention because the teenage Sharpton couldn’t afford to go.

“He personified the black experience of the 20th century,” Sharpton said. “He started the century where blacks were victims. We ended as victors.”

Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Sunday that flags on city buildings would be lowered in Sutton’s honor.

Doyle Expected to Run in 2010 US Congress Race South Carolina

Doyle Expected to Run in 2010

“He is what the 3rd Congressional District Needs”

The 3rd Congressional District has suffered greatly over the past ten (10) years.  This District includes the counties of Abbeville, Anderson, Edgefield, Greenwood, Laurens, McCormick and Oconee, Pickens, Saluda and approximately half of Aiken County.

The District is mostly rural.  However much of the District’s economy revolves around the manufacturing centers in the Anderson, Aiken and Greenwood areas.

Historically, the District was a Democratic stronghold and Democrats continued to hold most of the local offices well into 1990.  The United States Congress seat turned Republican in 1994 and has remained Republican since.  Doyle wants to change that.

As a result of the many manufacturing jobs sent overseas and to Mexico, the counties represented in the 3rd Congressional District have experienced a drastic  decline in their businesses and incomes.  “We must review the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in order to start restoring jobs to South Carolina and go to green jobs.  We must have real change that affects everyone, not just a select few”. Doyle said

Doyle believes the 3rd District must move from the minority to the majority. We must improve the status of our children’s education, jobs and business climate.  We must progress as a district without losing our moral values.  By working together we can make that happen in the District’s ten counties said Doyle.

Doyle has yet to decide if he will run as a Democrat or Independent.  “I’m a little concerned with a lot of the business of the Democrats in Washington right now,” Doyle said.  “However, I understand the 3rd Congressional District must get out of the minority and into the majority and get the peoples’ business in our state done for the betterment of all.” Doyle announced that he has two months to decide and pay his filing fee.

Q:       How do you feel about small business opportunity?

A:       Small businesses have suffered throughout the state but have been hit hard in the 3rd District.  The 3rd Congressional District has the ability to rebound.  However, we must lower taxes for the small businesses and offer more tax breaks and I would like to propose some plans and action to help reopen some of our closed plants and restore manufacturing jobs,

Some of these businesses can receive federal assistance to help produce green jobs and our State government can cap out-of-state well connected contractors from getting so much of our business and direct it to locally owned businesses.

I will place this item on the table my first day on the job and will not stop until we review and fix it.  This CAFTA and NAFTA have hurt many states including ours. I would like to see small businesses with gross incomes of $3,000,000.00 or be allowed take advantage of a plan that would give them a 40% tax break on the gross salary of all rehabilitated former convicts hired.  This could reduce our crime rate by 24.5%, making our communities safer and give the economy a read stimulus.

Q:       how do you feel about the bail-out of the private sector?

A:        I see much disappointment in the Federal Government’s bail-out of banks and private sector corporations.  I believe we must put forward more and stricter regulations over our banking industry as they have been allowed and encouraged to take advantage of us for too long.  We need better elected officials watching over the tax payers’ money and voting for the people and not for the powerful big business interests that pay them so well.

I’m against giving away the American taxpayers’ money to offer undeserved and unearned obscenely large bonuses to executives.  The government should have never have literally given away our money with no real controls or benefits for the people.  Too many people have lost everything due to the greed and non-concern of their so called elected officials.

Q:       Will you vote as a Republican or a Democrat?

A:       I don’t believe it is about parties anymore.  I believe it is about getting the right things done for the people in the 3rd Congressional District and other sections of our state.

I also believe it is about giving our young people a chance to stay home and not have to move away looking for jobs, and it is about giving small business owners an opportunity to hire workers and make a living.

Q:       Do you believe there has been much change in Washington?

A:        If there has been I have not seen it.  I see the same old people telling the same old stories taking the same money from the same big corporations ignoring what the people who elected them want and laughing all the way to the bank.  The same old way of doing business must change if the American people are going to have any faith in their government.

Q:       How do you feel about Healthcare Reform?

A:        I do believe we need some form of reform in this area.  However, I do not believe in socialism or government run healthcare.  I would like to see a single payer system or an extended state government program similar to the Medicaid plan for the un-insured that will allow those with pre-existing conditions to become insured.

I further believe a federally funded state plan would help the small business owner and the un-insured get the care they need.  I don’t support limited options or government run healthcare with our economy and debt today.

Q:       How do you propose to fix outsourcing and the Central and North American Free Trade Agreements?

A:        Congress and President Obama must first understand this form of business is not working for the American people in providing jobs and isn’t helping the American economy.  Therefore, we must pass laws that limit the amount of outsourcing American companies can do and the amount of tax breaks received for outsourcing.

I also feel the United States must limit the amount of goods allowed in from China and other places that use underpaid or virtually slave cheap labor.

We heard so much about this problem during the presidential election and now it has gone away.  I will not let it die again and I believe the government should offer loans to manufacturing plants closed by the failure of the congress and the Senate to protect America and allow them to re-open and provide green jobs.

Q:       How can we improve thing for our veterans in South Carolina and America?

A:        I am very concerned about the veterans and especially those here in South Carolina and I believe we must increase funding for the disabled and put an end to the bureaucratic boondoggles that are only designed to prevent them from obtaining their dearly earned benefits.

I also think there is room for another VA Hospital in our state within the 3rd Congressional District.

This would certainly benefit the veterans and create jobs in South Carolina. I would like to see the facility placed in the Greenwood or Anderson area.   This would help those injured returning from the wars.

Q:       You talked about true change for all the American people, please explain?

A:        I believe millions of Republicans and Democrats were excited about making a change in Washington.  However, I just personally do not believe we’ve made that much change.

We must look beyond family members, friends and colleagues in order to bring change to the American people.  Just research some of the deals made in South Carolina and observe who is getting contracts and who isn’t.  Then look at some of the elected officials family members or close friends.

I believe we cannot build a strong economy when those types of deals limit the jobs and limit how monies flow through the state.

Q:       How can we control spending in the Federal Government?

A:        I believe we need a hiring freeze on federal jobs until we can gain control over the economy.  I know for a fact there are thousands of federal employees who have the time but not the age to retire.

I believe Congress should lower the age for Federal workers allowing them to retire early which could reduce government size and spending by 19.7%.

We can save billions of dollars which we continue to spend wastefully in Washington.

Q:       What are your thoughts on the way education is provided in South Carolina and America?

A:        First, I believe education begins at home and we must ensure that parents and family members spend quality time understanding the importance of a good education.  Secondly, we must employ the most qualified people to teach our children and provide the resources they need to do the job.

It is my feeling that the system must provide access to computers and internet service both at school and home and we must provide funding to those schools in rural communities.  I plan to work with South Carolina State Superintendent of Schools to make sure my ten counties are receiving the necessary funding to provide a good education to our children.  I would like to see laptops in the hands of all our students in the district from Grades 7 through 12 immediately.

Q:       how do you respond to the belief by some that you are too liberal and unfair?

A:       It is about the people of the 3rd Congressional District, no about me or my personal wishes.  It is about doing the business of the people.  I do no believe one should get more or receive more because of who they know.

If feel others should not have to take care of those who are unwilling to better their lives or conditions and I don’t believe in socialism or government control of every aspect of our lives.

Q:       How do you feel about gun control?

A:       I believe every citizen has the right to bear arms under the 2nd Amendment Rights and those rights must be protected by Congress and I will support and protect them to the fullest.

Q:       What is your view on abortions?

A:        This is a very sensitive area for me as my faith believes you should not kill.   I am personally against abortion but I do not believe in such a deeply personal area that I should be allowed to impose my beliefs on others.  I must respect, defend and protect a woman’s right to control her own life.  I may argue and lead by example but I do not believe that the government has any place in people’s bedrooms or their personal private lives.  By better education and giving better opportunities for mothers to successfully raise their children in a decent environment we can remove the factors which make some women believe that abortion is their only option.

Q:       what can be done to improve agricultural conditions in South Carolina?

A:        I believe Congress must make more funding available to farmers and especially in South Carolina because of our climate and land mass.  We have a great opportunity to move towards an energy saving state.  We can produce large amounts of food in our state.  But without funding from Congress our farmers will not be able to compete with foreign producers and large federally funded agribusinesses.

These things can only happen by making the right choice for South Carolina in 2010.
