A
Personal Note from
Steve Porter to You.
Thank you for visiting my web site.
I appreciate this opportunity to present my position on so
many important matters.
DESPITE
THE RULINGS WHICH HAVE KEPT ME OFF THE 2008 BALLOT, I WILL
CONTINUE TO RUN FOR CONGRESS AS A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE.
OUR DEMOCRACY IS WOUNDED, BUT WILL NOT DIE IF WE ALL FIGHT
THE MAJOR PARTIES AND SPECIAL INTERESTS WHO HAVE STOLEN IT
FROM US.
WHY
I AM AN INDEPENDENT
When the Democrats won both houses of Congress in 2006, they
did so because they promised to end the war in Iraq and to
start fixing the American economy. They pledged to hold Bush
& Co. accountable for the many unconstitutional things
done in his administration, not the least of which was to
take testimony under oath and hold impeachment hearings. On
the day after the elections, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "took
impeachment off the table," and from that day on, the
Democrats did nothing of substance to fulfill their promises.
I did not want the blood of the war in Iraq or the blame for
our economic decline on my own hands. I felt betrayed by the
party, not simply because it had for the most part turned
its back on me, but because, like Bush himself, it had lied
to the American people in order to win political power. I
therefore left the party and re-registered as an independent.
It is as an independent that I now run for Congress.
But I did more than re-register. Having been trained as part
of my doctoral studies to research, I began to look into the
behavior of the Democratic Party to try to determine why they
had misled the voters and prolonged the war. What I found
astounded me to the point where I wrote a book about it. The
book is entitled AMERICA'S
DYING DEMOCRACY. It was published in February
of 2008 and is distributed by BCH
books . You may order it online
by clicking HERE.
(It is also available online with Amazon and it will soon
be in bookstores around the world.)
What I found was that BOTH MAJOR PARTIES
are absolutely owned by special interests in key industries
(finance, real estate, insurance, health, defense, energy
etc). These industries have given billions of dollars in lobbyist
money to just about every member of Congress, and those members
are obligated to work first and foremost for the special interests
which pay to get them and keep them in office. Only secondarily,
if at all, do our representatives work for the people.
We will not solve any of the problems which now beset us--our
declining economy, the war in Iraq, the affordability of health
care, global pollution, the solvency of Social Security, the
development of clean energy, illegal immigration, or the improvement
of our schools--until we change the political equation
in Washington. To do that, we must elect honest, un-owned,
independents like myself, people who will work for the citizens
of our nation before the special interests.
Toward that end, I hope every voter will read my book and
support my candidacy.
Please bookmark this site and visit it frequently for new
articles of interest.
I hope to earn
your support and trust the "old fashioned" way by
being honest and talking about those issues that are important
and affect your life."
Sincerely,
Steven Porter, Ph.D.
