I want to thank all of you who voted for me and supported me in this election.

The results from this election indicate that I will have to seriously consider running for one of the major parties if I am to have any hope of being elected to Congress so that I can propose legislation to fix the Social Security System. The news media in this country refuse to cover the third parties. To have any hope of being elected I will have to consider running as a Republican. The pro-abortion, anti-family, and anti-christian policies of the Democrat Party are simply not acceptable.

With the results of this election putting more Democrats in Congress, and also giving us a very liberal Democrat as President, it is apparent that we will not move to achieve energy independence, or to reduce the size of our government.

I will make the following predictions for the conditions we will have to contend with in 2010.

1. Gas prices will be in excess of 4 dollars per gallon, and we will not have any meaningful move to energy independence.

2. Congress will still be spending the Social Security Surplus and may have passed an increase in payroll taxes, so Congress can continue spending the surplus for a few more years.

My views on various issues are shown by the items contained in the links listed below.

LESS: (NO) RAIDING OF SOCIAL SECURITY!

LESS: DEPENDENCE ON IMPORTED OIL!

LESS: CORRUPTION IN WASHINGTON!

LESS: ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!

LESS: OUTSOURCING OF JOBS!

LESS: (NO) INCOME TAX!

LESS: GOVERNMENT SPENDING!

LESS: ABORTIONS!

LESS: COURT ATTACKS ON CHRISTIANS!

LESS: (NO) SAME SEX MARRIAGE!

LESS: (NO) SHARIAH LAW!

LESS: LAW SUIT ABUSE!

LESS: USURY!

I am running for Congress in an effort to fix the problems with Social Security. You can purchase a printed and bound copy of a book containing my report on how to fix the Social Security System and end our dependence on imported oil, from a publish on demand printing company. A copy of a flyer, with an overview of the proposal to fix Social Security, can be downloaded in either a word processing format or in the Adobe Reader pdf format.

The book contains an evaluation of the funding model for the Social Security System. This evaluation shows that if contributions at the current rate of taxation were made to a pension style trust fund. The program would be self sustaining and no increase in taxes, or cuts in benefits, would be necessary. The pending bankruptcy of the Social Security System is going to occur because Congress has spent all of the money. Raising taxes or cutting benefits will not solve the problem. We must stop Congress from spending the money by setting up a pension style trust fund, then we can fund the trust by transferring property owned by the Federal Government into the trust. Property such as oil drilling rights in ANWR and the continental shelves. We need the oil revenue to pay benefits, because in about 5 years, the contributions from payroll taxes will not be sufficient to cover benefit commitments and either higher taxes, or benefit cut, will be necessary under the current system.

I need to have as many votes as possible, to send a message saying that the voters want to see Social Security fixed. I need everyone here in the 12th Congressional District, who want these problems solved, to vote for me on November 4. If you don't vote for a change, you will get more of the same from Washington. I also need everyone wants to see the Social Security System fixed, and end our dependence on imported oil, to spread this message. I can not do this myself, I need the help of the voters here in the 12th District. You the voter need to talk to everyone you know who wants to see these issues addressed, and spread the message. You can also send an email to everyone you know, with a reference to my website, asking them to forward the message to everyone they know, and to vote for me on November 4.

If you want to have change in Washington, or Lansing, you will have to vote for someone other than a Republican or Democrat!

One definition of insanity is doing something over and over again, while expecting a different result.

Stop the insanity! Vote for Change! Vote for the Taxpayers Party!

Those of you who are concerned about wasting your vote need to consider the following. If you vote for someone who doesn't share your values and beliefs, because you think a third party can't win. You are betraying your right to vote, which is worse than wasting your vote!

If you are visiting this website, and have never heard of me, you should consider complaining to your local news media. The third parties in this country offer candidates who are probably better qualified than the selections offered by the major parties. The news media in this country do not provide much ( or any ) coverage of anyone who does not represent a major party. This negligence on the part of the press does a major disservice to this country.

If you want me to explain my proposal on how to fix the Social Security System, to a group or organization, send an email to les@voteforles.info.

You can help Fix Social Security.
