Jan. 13, 2010 – LaRouche Democrats Kesha Rogers, Rachel Brown, and Summer Shields today held a joint press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. to formally announce their Congressional campaigns and discuss their reasons for running for federal office. Kesha Rogers is running in Texas District 22, home to the Johnson Space Center of NASA; Rachel Brown is running in Massachusetts District 4, against the notorious Chair of the Financial Services Committee, “Bailout” Barney Frank; and Summer Shields is running in California District 8, to put a new face on Congress, and replace that worn out face of Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The video of their remarks is available here: http://www.larouchepac.com/node/13105
Each of the candidates discussed repeated and unique aspects of the LaRouche PAC slate policy, including detailed explanations of why the currently reigning policies of the Democratic Party mainstream leadership –typified by such as Pelosi, Frank, Sen. Harry Reid, and President Obama– are failed policies that must be stopped if this nation is to survive, and each articulated the different approach that they are collectively organizing for, now and in the months to come. Among the more obvious of the failed policies being pushed are the illegal and unconstitutional bailout of the banking and insurance industries with taxpayer money, the Hitler-style health care reform bill, a “green” jobs policy that reflects the scientifically incompetent notion of “man made global warming”, and the adherence to the equally scientifically incompetent notion of free trade globalization as a system of relations among nations. For his personal commitment to each of these policies, at the expense of the sovereignty and welfare of our United States, President Obama has made himself highly impeachable. A bill of impeachment has been drawn up, and is available on the LaRouche PAC website.
In turn, each candidate discussed alternatives to these policies that must be implemented now, not in 2011 when the new Congress takes office. Instead of bailing out these bankrupt financial parasites, put them through the legal process of bankruptcy reorganization, and take the bailout money back for the people. Instead of rationing health care according to “cost-effectiveness” principles of accounting, return to the Hill-Burton standard for coverage and employ people in building up the wealth of our medical infrastructure. Instead of handing the sovereignty of our dollar over to institutions such as the IMF with its intrinsically worthless “Special Drawing Rights” chits, enter into alliances with our Pacific world powers for fixed exchange rates, making credit available for physical capital improvements in high technology infrastructure. Instead of allowing unemployment and mind-deadening service work waste away our youthful generations, let them be employed in productive labor, as in President Franklin Roosevelt’s Civilian Conservation Corps, so they may develop the skills and education needed to fill the shoes of the older generations productive jobs, and be able to lead our country forward on their own. Instead of disassembling our last remaining industry over a false belief in global warming, let us literally reach for the stars, starting with a 50 year driver to colonize the Moon and Mars.
Such youthful optimism and vision clearly represents a new attitude that is sweeping the country. In a post-conference interview, the candidates emphasized that their essential point, is this is the quality of foresight and commitment to mankind’s betterment that must be institutionalized in our government, if the United States is going to survive. Let all patriots join together in bringing about such refreshing real change for the better. Please support these candidates by contributing financially to their campaigns, available through each of their websites.
