Dear Friends,
Let me begin by taking a few seconds to clarify a point I tried to make in my last letter.
I said the following in response to the claim that I lost the primary race:
As for the claim that I “lost” the SoS race…anyone who says that doesn’t understand what we are up against.
The clarification is this. THE MACHINES ARE CHEATING (hence my write-in strategy). The software is secret, and that makes it very easy to cheat, on a massive scale. It’s happening and it’s been happening for a long time.
That, my friend, is what “we are up against.”
No one can logically say I lost. Saying so is nothing more than a bare assertion. We have no evidence I lost. NONE WHATSOEVER. (…which is why the fight goes on.)
Transparency and verifiability have been completely removed from our elections.
Therefore, we really have no business calling them anything more or less than a pretense. (I’ll keep beating that drum until everyone gets it.)
Of course, there are other ways to cheat besides through the machines:
Moving on to the problem with parties.
The problem with parties is that the party always comes first. Always. Nevermind what’s best for our counties, our state or our country as a whole.
America became great, economically, because of innovation, market competition and patent law (on top of good old-fashioned hard work). The problems started when some people got too big (rich) for their own britches and started using their power to shut down competition, and buy off politicians. (By the way, I can’t be bought.)
Parties have followed that same path. They come to power around an idea, and all of a sudden, the power takes precedence over the better ideas/candidates that come along. God forbid the party should abandon their pretense-selected RINO. It’s almost cultish. We should never give, or expect, such unqualified devotion to anyone but God.
I hear about this stronghold that pulls on people’s all the time (these are recent):
“…I don't understand how anybody in their right mind could think that Pillen is any better than Carol Blood, if Pillen and Blood were the only choices, the only thing that would keep me from voting for Blood is Al Davis and I can't stand Al Davis or his phony wife. I have never emailed letters to senators that Carol didn't reply, and even if I didn't agree with her reasoning, it at least made sense. I knew who Pillen was because of his actions on the board of regents…”
Here’s another:
“I know the GOP says we must support the Republican nominee. I get that. But what you say and stand for mimics more of who I am. So, the struggle is real. I know, in the end, I will vote for whom I believe to be the better candidate. IF you should win, how do you see the NEGOP playing into the picture? Will you mirror them or will it be more of a “new” line of party direction? Just trying to figure things out because, to be honest with you, I do feel you are the better candidate.”
And another:
“You are the kind of man we need in a leadership role to make our communities better. …
That being said, I have great concern about you running for Governor. Not because I don’t believe in you or think that you wouldn’t do a great job, but because I’m concerned that you would take votes from Pillen as governor and that the democratic candidate-Blood- would then win the position. I did not vote for Pillen in the primary election, but know he would be a better choice than the democratic candidate.”
Then, of course, there are those who just come right out and say, “You have our vote.” They are over the party politics that serves power over people.
(By the way, I’ve been told the Democratic Party is having the same internal civil war. I’ve also been told that Jane Kleeb doesn’t want Carol Blood to win because she’d lose all her money. Is that true? I don’t know. But it did come from a reliable source.)
Here’s how I think people should vote
I think people should pray, research, consult with friends and family, decide who the best candidate is, and vote for that candidate—boldy, courageously, fearlessly—regardless of affiliation. Such virtue would be contagious, and country-saving.
Please listen. We make the decision to follow Christ in the face of potential persecution. Why not follow the truth in other areas of our lives? This isn’t about making life easier under one candidate vs another. It's about standing up for the truth no matter what…and not somewhere down the road, but right now.
There is no greater truth in politics than that Liberty and self-government require election integrity and strong principled leadership.
You will never hear those words come out of Pillen’s mouth. He is hanging by puppet strings. He is owned. He is told what to say and not say. Why would we want such “leadership?”
Besides, no one can prove he actually won the primary. So how can anyone be obligated to support him?
Mr. Pillen has a conflict between the Truth and himself. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t be avoiding voters.
All of the problems we face in our state today are a function of election fraud, which puts the wrong people in office to make the wrong decisions. (Yes, the cheaters do throw us a bone once in a while.)
The fact is, we aren't as dumb as our "elections" make us out to be. We would hold people more accountable if we could.
We need honest elections, and we need them now. We can’t wait for another 2 or 4 years to pass, and there’s no need to wait. We can have it now (at the next “election”). We have the only campaign that provides for an honest vote.
I’m leaving the battle to the Lord.
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but [I] will remember the name of the LORD our God. —Psa_20:7
Signing off as your humble servant in the cause of righteousness government and government of, by and for the People.
God bless.
