I am very grateful for your kind offer to help me with my campaign and I would like to take you up on it. I am very familiar with your work, as you are one of the most dedicated users of GOPhub.com, and I had tried to apply to be your Illinois ambassador for Grizzly Groundswell, but when I tried to find out where to submit my info I noticed that you had already extended an invitation to an Illinois blogger. I did not know Stix was an Illinois resident, so if you could put me in touch with him I would greatly appreciate that. I would also love the opportunity to contribute to Grizzly, if you would like to have me, so please let me know what type of submissions you are looking for.

I am young and ambitious, and I think I can do great things in politics. I am not the most socially conservative Republican, but I am certain that we are on the same page on fiscal issues and government theory. I would like to discuss with you these issues in more depth and I would also like to get your advice on how to best manage my eCampaign. Other than that, I could really use some foot soldiers in the Illinois 9th District to help collect signatures to make sure I get on the ballot. I don’t need too many more, but I want to get that done with asap, as opposed to waiting to the last minute. If you know anyone in the area please let me know, but if not don’t worry about it.
You can e-mail me at briantedwards@gmail.com.

Thanks,

Brian Edwards

I would like a clarification as to what she said that did any justice to the voters I was referring to (under 35) in my brief post, and I promise I am not trying to be snotty. I truly appreciate your comments and I understand your point, but I think you should reconsider your trust of Hillary and her policies. If anything, the speech was viciously deceptive and totally removed from reality. How does she expect anyone to believe that the system is sustainable if we simply balance the budget and get rid of Bush’s tax cuts? That is crazy, Bush’s tax cuts have led to RECORD REVENUES, this is an indisputable fact, yet the social security system is no better off and won’t be unless more drastic action is taken. You are smarter than that, and I am sure I don’t need to tell you that the major problem with the social security system is the “pay as we go” policy of spending taxes received into the welfare system on other government programs.

The only way to fix the system for younger voters is to let us have control over our own contributions in private accounts, and unless we demand this we should have no reason to expect Hillary, Barack or any other candidate to do a damn thing to help us out. I appreciate your kind words, and I welcome your comments always, but I hope you understand that by simply talking about social security is far from trying to alert people to the impending crisis.

You don’t have to like her, but you should recognize that many, many democrats are concerned about social security.

You talk about change and being a young vision. Partisan rhetoric? Misleading voters on your website? (yes, “no democratic party leader…” is a lie. It’s not a true statement.) More partisan rhetoric?

Oh yeah. Lots of change. Yep, that doesn’t sound anything like the past.

I wish you the best of luck, I do. But don’t go the same route that the current crop of political failures has gone.
