Hello, I’m Glenn Farley, Republican candidate for state representative 116th district. I’m writing this letter to discuss with you the perils facing the state of Illinois. We are facing a 2010 midterm election that is of great importance. It is important because of the critical condition of our state. A condition that is so critical that we must start correcting it now, not two or three elections from now. With all the problems facing our state and our country it is very difficult to know which way to go this upcoming election. We the citizens, sense the urgency to start turning things around, but how do we do it? We know that business as usual in Springfield is not acceptable. Who is to blame, which party do we choose? Which party is closer to putting Illinois on a path to recovery? We have all aligned ourselves with one party or another for whatever the reason. But we all have one thing in common; we have developed a lack of trust in the state government to solve our state’s problems. As frustrating as the situation is we cannot just throw up our hands and do nothing. Some people say, “Vote them all out and put new people in office”. I tend to agree! We need to use the one thing the “Founding Fathers” gave us to correct “Bad Government”. Our vote! Your vote is very important! It can send the message to Springfield ”We have had enough”. Enough of the over spending, high taxes, destroying jobs and wrecking the state economy. We want it fixed and we want it fixed now! Now, before it is too late. Now, before the state defaults and the economic situation gets really ugly! We can send this message loud and clear if we use our vote wisely. If we use our vote to choose a candidate that is aligned with the party that will truly address the issues. We do not want to vote out all incumbents! We want to vote out all incumbents that are a part of destructive behavior in the capital. The party that is ruining the state is the “Chicago Democrats”. They are running the state into the ground with their liberal ideas and over spending. There is a big difference between Southern Illinois democrats and Chicago Democrats. Southern Illinois Democrats are conservative in nature with a greater sense of patriotism for their state and country. They lean toward the values of common sense and fiscal responsibility, respect for life and religion, respect for our Constitution and laws. Unlike the “Chicago bunch”. Because of these values the Southern Illinois Democrat should consider voting outside his party this election. This is because our patriotism to state and country is far greater than any one political party. We know that any vote for a democrat in Illinois is a vote for the “Chicago machine”. We know that the “Chicago political machine” is ruining state government and does not recognize Southern Illinois as significant. Remember to vote democrat is a vote for Michael Madigan and the Chicago machine. It is this way because there is no Chicago Republican machine and Republicans tend to align themselves more evenly throughout the state. We are speaking of the Illinois Republican party not the “George Bush” party. I reach out to all my friends and neighbors in Southern Illinois no matter what party. I ask all Southern Illinoisans, the farmers who are the backbone of our region, to the small business people who control the economy in our district, and all citizens to consider their vote carefully this election. Vote to stop the over spending. Vote to lower taxes and create jobs. Vote to promote small business and recover the economy. Vote Republican! Vote for a “New Voice” to speak loud and clearly. A voice to say “we have had enough” we want it fixed and we want it fixed now! Sincerely, Glenn C. Farley Republican candidate, State House of Representatives 116th District

In reference to what I mentioned yesterday (July 23 2010) in my talk to the group, this came from Erick Erickson at Red State.  It dovetails exactly with my view that the government thinks that we are their bank.

Your money? The government’s “income”

There was an interesting comment made on the floor of the United States Senate yesterday.

I first noticed in from Senator Jim DeMint’s twitter feed. DeMint tweeted, “Sen. Dorgan just said a vote for tax cuts is a vote to ‘reduce this country’s income. To Democrats, it’s the government’s money. Not yours.”

Really? I mean it wouldn’t surprise me, but we rarely hear the Democrats speak so bluntly about it. But sure enough, here is the rush transcript from the floor yesterday from 4:36 p.m.:

THOSE WHO CRIED THE LOUDEST ON THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE THESE DAYS — RIGHT NOW — ARE THE VERY ONES THAT VOTED TO REDUCE THIS COUNTRY’S INCOME WITH THE BIGGEST BENEFITS GOING TO THE WEALTHIEST AMERICANS.

You can watch it here.

Really Senator Dorgan? Voting to give Americans back their own money was a vote to “reduce this country’s income with the biggest benefits going to the wealthiest Americans?”

Certainly cutting taxes reduces the governments’ income in a static calculation, but we also know that revenue into the treasury went up after those tax cuts.

The Democrats really do think it is their money.
