Enough already!



Just think of how nice it will be when children are not exposed to the political lies. Consider the questions from a child: 
Why is it wrong to own an airplane? 
Why is it wrong to own a bank, I thought it was good to save money? 
Why is it wrong to be a (you name the party)?
Will women not be able to get mammograms if that senator, or legislators stop funding Planned Parenthood? 
Will pre-natal care only be supplied by Planned Parenthood?

Yes, the samples are some of the mud thrown about a Senator. But you can create your own list of half-truths or twists of facts.  There is a need to have legislation that requires Political Action Committees show proof of the truth or slurs they are advertising. Oh yes that is against free speech. 

The freedom of speech provision did not provide FREEDOM TO LIE. Let us face it there is no free advertising and the current campaigns from President down to local offices are spending amounts that must rival the national debt and are almost flat out lies. Are you comfortable with candidates, news media, news print, that lie to us?
With ten commercials per half hour. They all have half-truths and allegations that have almost no basis. The best legislation would be that when a campaign is finished and the votes are counted the PAC’s would be required to donate their funds in excess of $1,000 to Wounded Warrior, a Children’s Fund, or a charity of some approval.

I hope that Washington is cleaned out. This includes Paul Ryan whom I  picture standing like a wimp when Biden pulled his clown act in 2012. What has the House done under his leadership (if we call it leadership)?

If you wish, take these words and craft you letter to  a print media of your choice.
