Burton for Congress

The United States is broke and borrowing money on the futures of those that have yet to be born and “GOP endorsed” candidates voted for many of the past spending bills that put us into this mess (shame on us for not uprising years ago… fat, dumb and happy I guess). On the state front, we have a deficit that grows by the day… there have been bonding bills, health and human services bills, K-12 ed. bills that where absurd in request and scope, many GOP endorsed (current and former) candidates voted in favor of those also. Go look at the size of the state budget that is HHS and K-12/higher ed., it consumes approx. 75% of the state budget/tax collections. Furthermore, our state is one of the worst when it comes to regulations and taxation of business, Wisconsin has of late shown their true colors also with the Polaris engine plant leaving the state and Harley Davidson making its announcement to remove much of its production from there this past week. Many of the regulatory agencies in Minnesota are presided over by former “GOP endorsed candidates”… like former speaker Steve Sviggum with the dept. of labor and industry. “DOLI” as it is referred to, has hiked fees (doubled), enforced extortion on electrical apprentices and stolen from the electrical inspection division to support the general contracting end of the operation… where fees have also increased exponentially. The millions of dollars stolen from the electrical dept. of DOLI (electrical wiring permit fees) went to attempt to plug massive holes on the social program side of the budget (12 million stolen by Tim Pawlenty’s gang, I do like Tim, he’s just a bit spineless at times) and it will never be returned. The electrical division also had to add a $5 “service charge” to all electrical permits so they could make payroll/cashflow… remember, this problem is created by the dependency class supported by easy flowing welfare dollars (from the MN House) and immigration issues. Stealing from home builders/owners to fund social programs…again… this is sinister and needs to stop. I recommend you study the alternatives in each race… do NOT blindly go down the ticket DFL or GOP… this state… and country is a mess because two parties made it that way. Greed and the thirst for domination of others is at the root of these evils

WE THE PEOPLE need to seize the house from the large lobby that exists, that problem is on both sides of the isle… “GOP endorsed” or “DFL endorsed”.

As of this last week, Tim Olson from Buhl, Ind. Party candidate for the 8th C.D. dropped out and put what support he had behind the “GOP endorsed” Chip Crack:) This leaves me as the only businessman in the race, Chip has absolutely no experience in the business world just like Jim Oberstar has none… for that matter, neither do Al Frankenstien or Barry Setoro. This also leaves me as the only snowmobile trail groomer “expert”:) and the only licensed pyro technician, habitat for humanity volunteer and the only church board member in the race:) Not to mention I am the only lifelong resident of the 8th district and Minnesota, Jim Oberstar lives in Maryland “vacations in France” and Chip only moved here recently. The DFL and the GOP candidates are foreign to how Minnesotans live and work. I need your support (and a spot in your yard for a sign).

This country hangs in the balance from sins of past & current congresses… not to mention the looming war with radical Islam. I wish it could be avoided, but it has arrived at our shores by a lack of a strong immigration policy and a naive /sleepy/dopey electorate.

Beware my friends (& former friends) evil lurks… and they might be working for one of the groups that got us into this mess… YES, that includes party operatives in the GOP also!

There will be tea in the harbor,
