HELP WANTED

It appears that in the last general election there were no Republican candidates in 39 districts scattered across 15 states. These positions offer much more than just good pay. Some of these districts are listed below in State, District and general location sequence. Please help find a Republican candidate in these districts. Even if these districts can reasonably be considered “lost causes,” the effected taxpayers need to have a choice.

Illinois 12 East St. Louis

Massachusetts 1 Berkshire, Hampden, Hampshire and other Counties
Massachusetts 2 Springfield area
Massachusetts 3 Bristol and three other Counties
Massachusetts 4 Bristol and three other Counties
Massachusetts 5 Essex, Middlesex and Worcester Counties
Massachusetts 7 Middlesex and Suffolk Counties
Massachusetts 8 Middlesex and Suffolk Counties

In recent ratings, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste considered 32 of the present officeholders (democrats) to be hostile, 6 unfriendly, and 1 lukewarm to taxpayers. The National Taxpayers Union granted a grade of “F” to 36 of this group while 3 of them rose to a “D”.

WHAT IF?

Surely you believe that the liberal dominated news media is very, very selective in what “news” they will print or report. Have you noticed the absence of reporting about the improved situation in Iraq? There are, of course, other examples but Linden will assume that you can think. WHAT IF, you complained to the lackluster “news” provider and, if satisfaction is not obtained you then call those who advertise in that medium? Your message could be something like: “ I am disappointed that you choose to advertise in or on …. Who will not report…. Perhaps this approach would pay dividends in the form of less biased news coverage.

FIRST TWO???

The title of this posting is for the purpose of raising the question regarding exactly what the first two efforts to seclect Presidential candidate has proven. First, let us consider what this selection process is within Iowa and New Hampshire. A problem , from Linden's view, with the Iowa caucus is that voting is not a private matter, as it is in a real election. For New Hampshire, it is the acceptance of the vote of "independents," as if they ascribe to the foundational party beliefs.

The truth is, neither of these first two States are very significant in the actual selection of our next President. They are granted untold reams of newsprint and hours upon hours of media attention and millions upon millions of dollars accrue to the possible benefit of the taxpayers within these States. There appears to be no reason why this is true.

Going forward to next Tuesday's Michigan primary (which may have it's own flaws,) it will still be too early, after these results, to have a clear view of whom the Presidental candidates will be. This will not dampen in the slightest the flow of words. Based upon an evidenced need: GOD BLESS AMERICA.
