Where does the money come from? Loook it up!



Elections present us with candidates ranging from municipal, fire services, county, state and federal to president. What are the objectives of these candidates? We receive slogans ranging improved government, to world peace. In Between there are catchy slogans. A thriving economy is always nice because it comforts the family as well as the individual. You can make your list. It can be one word titles, short phrases, sentences, paragraphs, sermons, or treatises.
One definite objective is controlled spending.  Never do we hear politicians that tell us they will increase our taxes? No. They tell us their approach will be government that solves problems. Yet, commonly they hold the hands of friends and donators to their campaign.
Research the source of their donations or their donors. The information is available in the 

New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission, and

 the Federal Election Commission. 

We should be shown the contents of these reports and shown who the donors were or are. Not because it is wrong to donate. The fourth estate should show how the favored political appointees, contractors and influences are established. Why do the contributors have favor by the politicians in office? The paths access to power are shown by the names contained in the reports. Who is your Township’s Engineer? Who was the Township Business Administrator employed by, before being appointed? Why was an Attorney hired? Look at the political appointments over the total range of Mayor, Governor, Senator, Congressperson and President.
President Obama has gone from office has an organization designated as ‘Organized For Action’ (OFA). It is built on the basis of teachings by Saul Alinsky. There are the dollars of the Obama Fund, which few know who contributed and how much. OFA is poised to fight for constitutional changes. Are we waiting for a revolution while protests grow and crime is over looked as a change for the good?
