Any Fool Can Criticize, Condemn and Complain and Most Fools Do

When you sling mud, you lose ground.

Unfortunely many candidates for public office spend more time slinging mud than they do in explaining why they would be the best choice for public office. Making disparging comments about one's opponent is one of the main reasons why so many people are no longer participating in the electoral process. Rather than attacking a candidates character it would be much more helpful for the candidate to reveal who they are rather than trying to portray their opponent in a negative light.

I believe that Congress is broken and that I would not even consider voting for an incumbent. If you were the owner of a business and your employees demonstrated that they were incompetent and irresponsible, you would be foolish to keep them on your roll. For this reason, it is essential that we elect a candidate to Congress that will represent the people rather than the special interest groups.

Eva Johnson and Clay Thibodeau are both candidates for Congress and I would strongly suggest that you in making your choice you select the one that has the superior knowledge on the Constitution and the principles of liberty and individual responsibility. I have nothing but admiration and respect for Eva Johnson. I know for a fact that she has been spending many hours studying the Constitution since she decided to run for Congress. Clay Thibodeau, on the otherhand has been a student and teacher of the Constitution for many years.

I would like to propose that Clay and Eva meet publically to participate in a forum where the audience can ask questions and determine which candidate has a better grasp on the principles of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
