Founding values need saving

Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Sen. Patty Murray return to Congress to continue decimating our rights and freedoms and our country’s financial, educational and medical systems.

They support the illusion of a national debt, a financial system that needlessly causes citizens to lose jobs and homes, funding contrived wars that have no enemies nor the possibility of an end, and involuntary servitude called stop-loss.

They give billions to foreign banks and countries and fund our troops around the world while citizens of the countries they are “defending” pay nothing while allowing an invasion of illegals.

Leaked documents show the vision our leaders are implementing, their duplicitous, warmongering practices and the collusion of Republicans, Democrats and the financial establishment to destroy America and support dictators.

Obama wanted change but had no choice but to retain the people that controlled our nation’s finances and war machine. He found himself to be the front man for the world’s biggest terrorist organization, Congress. He is totally unable to stop the illegal wars nor the financial disaster so carefully orchestrated by those who preceded him and Congress.

Independent congressional candidates, who will support our Constitution, are needed to reclaim our country’s foundational values.
