FINAL REVIEW OF NEVADA REPUBLICAN SENATE CANDIDATES

Sue Lowden: FACT - Currently serves as a Member of the Board of Directors and Secretary-Treasurer of Archon Corporation, a gaming and investment company (potentially will owe favors to the casino gaming industry if elected, just like Harry Reid does now). FACT - A "professional politician" since 1992, when she served as State Senator until 1996, upon which she was selected as Chairwoman of the Nevada Republican Party. FACT - Sue is on record as donating to the past Reid campaigns , even during her term as state Republican Party Chairwoman. During her term as State Senator, Sue Lowden has been quoted on several occasions by the Las Vegas and Reno newspapers of her support of Harry Reid's efforts to stop construction and use of Yucca Mountain. This displayed Lowden's ignorance, like Harry's, of the safety issues designed into Yucca Mountain, much less the boon to regional employment and businesses. As an engineer in the Radiological Control field, I've worked with commercial nuclear reactors for 18.5 years and now with DOE sites going thru decommissioning and remediation. So I have a firm understanding of the assets of Yucca Mountain, both in waste storage and potential reactor fuel reconstitution which could be sold. Does this sound like a Senator who would look out for the constituents of the state of Nevada in providing jobs? FACT -During a state Republican Party Convention, Chairwoman Lowden halted the convention in the middle of the delegate selection process, and then reconvened later which limited the number of proposed delegates to be submitted, which was a violation of state party convention rules. Can we say narcissitic?

SHARON ANGLE: FACT - Recently endorsed by the Nevada Concerned Citizens, whose Chairman Richard Ziser stated to the Review-Journal that his work to abolish gay marriage rights in Nevada (which I applaud him for) was also designed to ensure that gays would not come to Las Vegas, which would mean less revenue to be collected in LV. Should have kept your mouth shut that time, Richard; Las Vegas' casinos certainly appreciated that statement. So, where does Sharon stand on this in terms of how far she would take the gay marriage issue? She stands by her support of the Federal Marriage Amendment, which is a "pat" answer from anyone who claims to be conservative. FACT -In a town hall meeting last September, Sharon stated that custodial work was for immigrants because Americans will not do it. Can we say "elitist"? It has been logistically proven that over 8 million jobs have been taken over by immigrants (of which it is projected 90% are illegal) from American citizens who already had the jobs. So what is her true position regarding illegal immigration?: She says that, as a member of the state assembly, she authored legislation to safeguard our election process by requiring identification for voting in Nevada. However, she obviously didn't have the political strength to even get it considered for recommendation for committee review. FACT -Sharon Angle is a "professional politician", recently serving in the Nevada Assembly from 1999 to 2005 and then running for U.S. Representative of Nevada's 2nd district in 2006. At what point do We, the People realize that the "professional politicians" are the very culprits who have driven our country to the brink of Socialism, locally, within the state and in our federal government? FACT -In 2003, Angle sponsored legislation guided under the philosophy of Scientology for women's state prisons. The state's response (and rightfully so) was " "At a time when our kids might be going without books and teachers it would be impossible to justify spending money on an unproven massage, sauna and vitamin plan for prisoners. These gimmicky programs undermine successful rehabilitative programs". In 2003, the Nevada state budget was already operating in a deficit and Sharon wanted to spend taxpayers' money on "touchy-feely" programs for prisoners. I'll leave that judgment up to you.

DANNY TARKANIAN: FACT -Danny ran for the Clark County state Senate seat in 2004, only to lose by only 1900 votes in a Democratic swing district. In 2006, Danny ran for the Nevada Secretary of State ( a typical Democratic seat) and only lost by 40,000 votes out of over 560,000 votes cast (7%). As a private businessman and proven to fight against the odds, Danny is running a tight race with Sue Lowden and Sharon Angle for the Republican nominee as U.S. Senate. As compared to his opponents, Danny has stuck to his principles and values and not changed his stance on certain issues (not unlike his competition). Despite the fact that he is NOT a "professional politician", he is in the thick of this race and has led on many polls, including consistently polling as being able to beat Harry Reid in the general election. Danny has ran on his agenda as a Constitutionally-principled, morally ethical citizen and has won the support of many Tea Party-related groups within the state and like-minded citizens of Nevada. FACT -Danny has consistently ran against the Reid agenda, including the amnesty proposal and the Yucca Mountain issue (having realized as a businessman that Yucca Mountain is a boon for employment and benefits for the state). This is in contrast to his Republican opponents, where Sue Lowden proposes using Yucca mountain to develop methods for reducing the waste, while Danny has strongly stated how Yucca Mountain can be used for reducing waste and supporting available technology that is already tested and able to perform this intiative sucessfully; much less Sharon Angle who voted for a resolution in 2005 rejecting Yucca mountain as a dead-end nuclear dump; only to recently revamp her issues to support the use of Yucca Mountain. Sounds a little convenient for Sharon, if not also a bit "wishy-washy". Again, this points out the fact that Danny's stand on issues of importance to the citizens of Nevada and the United States have consistently been firm, fiscally and socially conservative, and has always recognized the need for a Constitutionally-principled, morally ethical legislator in Washington to help We, the People RESTORE OUR REPUBLIC.

A FELLOW PATRIOT WITH AMERICAN POLITICS FOR THE SENATE

I am supporting Chuck Donovan as the Senatorial candidate for 2010 in Georgia. This gentleman is an example of a patriot who has a firm understanding of the problems in our country (from the various issues in our country to the actual causes of our ongoing problems). Chuck would represent Georgia in a far more representative capacity of our great state than Johnny Isakkson has. Johnny has been a great disappointment to me because he allowed himself to be sucked into the lobbyist system in Washington and is influenced by such (ex., lobbyists associated with real estate, which would lead to home mortgaging and banking issues). Following is a response I received from Chuck in mid-December where I had previously sent him some leading questions regarding his candidacy and his persona. I believe that you will see the improvements we would receive by placing Chuck in the Senate this November and will appreciate his principles and values:

Mr. Conant
Pardon my slow response time. I am a third party candidate and all
that implies, including the lack of a large campaign staff, a "day"
job for putting bread on the table, and a family. I did however,
manage to visit your blog and enjoyed what I read there. I offer a
somewhat lengthy reply as both a thorough introduction of myself, and
a proffer for my allowing your email to go so long unanswered.

Just wanted to add my acknowledgment to a fellow veteran, especially
the fact that you are the son of a phellow Phantom phlyer. I also
liked the SR-71 vids. I watched them operate out of Kadena in 1986
during my deployment there.

When I read your email calling yourself, "an independent, with
conservative values", I thought it pretty well described myself and
many of those around me in the Libertarian Party. We also agree that
Johnny and Saxby are disappointments, but as a someone who supported
the Republican Party since before Reagan, I have to add that the
Republican Party itself has been a disappointment. As a young Marine
officer I was taught to "lead from the front". Every opportunity the
Republicans have had to take the lead, they have declined. I started
out in a Labor Democrat family in liberal Massachusetts. Still, I had
the independence of thought to reject all ideas of collectivism and
embrace the general ideals of individual freedom of choice, private
property, freedom of contract and business, minimal government, and
fiscally conservative action by government. This is what I thought
the Republicans have been promising since Goldwater. However, every
time the Republicans had the majority they delivered the exact
opposite. Our government is bloated, and our Bill of Rights is nearly
shredded. I believe our country is in crisis now, and the cause of
the crisis is poor leadership, and unmitigated ignorance and flaunting
of our dear Constitution by both the Democratic and Republican parties.

My answers to your specific questions:

> 1. What attributes to you bring to the table to convince citizens
> of Georgia like myself that you are the best Senate candidate for
> 2010?


Four primary attributes:
1. Unerring respect for:
Natural Rights as described by Locke and articulated by Jefferson
Individual freedom of choice
Private property
Freedom and enforcement of contracts (includes freedom of"non-contract")

2. With that I get the drive to:
- Reduce the size and scope of government to allow individual
choice and individual action to correct the problems we face.
- Fiscally redirect our out-of-control government
- Take away the central government's blank check - the Fed.
- Reduce pay rates for all of Congress, all Federal government
workers at the supervisory level and above, freeze pensions at their
current values and institute 401(k)'s with 2% matching funds. No
additional staff or benefits.
- Significantly reduce Federal government spending, size and scope
- Balance the budget below the amount of annual tax receipts and
apply the balance to reducing the national debt.

3. A full understanding of Austrian Economics
- Keynesian Economics, nothing more than a technical excuse for
those who adore government, is a failure
4. I am not a professional politician.
- I have no one I will need to pay back other than the people of Georgia.
- I am in touch with what it means to be a working American. I
think the Democratic and Republican "leadership" is well out of touch.

Lastly, I am not a Republican or Democrat. Those parties have failed
us all and the people of Georgia should fire the lot of them.


> 2. Is your campaign already organized with staff and county
> directors/leaders to generate support? If not, what is your latest
> status in regards to your campaign organization?

- I currently have a Treasurer. I have some help from friends and
fellow Libertarians, but I am looking for a good campaign manager.
Regional Libertarian Party affiliates have offered their support
around the state. I am in touch with State leadership of the party
and expect to receive the party's nomination at our spring convention.
- I am also in need of funding.

> 3. What are your specific issues, as opposed to the general
> description of your philosophical beliefs (of which I strongly
> support)?

Two main problems as I see it:
1. The Democrats and Republicans are fighting to run our lives.
Their policies only differ in degree. We have to fight to run our own
lives.
2. Too much of what working Americans and working American
businesses produce is taken by government.

We must stop Washington, D.C.'s confiscation of our money, material,
and power. Once we return that to the hands of the people who work
for it, I am confident the American people will work their own way out
of any problem.

ECONOMICS is primary. Get the money right and most of the rest will follow.
1. We absolutely MUST get government spending under control
Take away the central government's blank check - the Fed
Reduce salaries and benefits for government representatives
and department heads
Term limits
2. We MUST significantly reduce the national debt.
3. We MUST either transition the dollar to a commodity backed
currency, or end Legal Tender laws to allow the introduction to our
economy, competing currencies. In this way we will preserve the value
of personal savings accounts.
4. We need a simplified and better tax system. A new system should
be understandable by all, paid into by all, and take less from the
American people and American businesses. I favor a single rate tax
with no exceptions on types of income, and no write-offs or credits.
Any new tax system must not take more from Americans than the current
system.
5. We have an unusual opportunity right now to put our banks
on a 100% reserve requirement standard. Among other things this would:
- End the need for more bailouts
- Make consumers view their banks differently and compare on more
than just interest rate paid.
- Reduce or nearly eliminate bank failures
- End the need for the FDIC
- Ensure the value of the dollar
- End inflation of the dollar


DEFENSE
1. US troops are unconstitutionally deployed to too many places.
Bring them home and sell the bases. Earmark the income from the sales
to pay down the national debt.
2. Reduce troop deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan. Allow both
countries to find their own governments no matter what that might be.
(freedom of choice) Maintain a presence in the area to disrupt Al
Queda operations and to intercept funding for further radical Islamic
actions. (I will shortly be publishing an article with more details
on the subject of the Afghanistan war escalation and the "Global War
on Terror".)
3. Engage with China to show them that a unified Korean peninsula
would not be an opportunity for us to deploy US troops on the Korea
China border.
4. Bring the troops home from WWII. The Europeans can afford to
defend themselves.

EDUCATION is necessary for a good society, a good life, and for the US
to compete in the global economy. Our education system is failing,
and the government is at fault.
1. Shut down the Department of Education.
2. Government money spent on a child should go with the child to
whatever schooling the parents choose.
3. End tenure for government employed educators. They should
receive 5 year contracts with requirements to be achieved prior to
renewal.
4. End government involvement in higher education. Our colleges
will compete and re-achieve world status.

Stimulus, Strategic Investment, and Bailouts
End all government actions in these areas
No government has never succeeded in pushing forward an industry, new
or established, by giving it access to the national treasury.

This is my first effort as a politician, and I think that is a primary trait.



Hope that fills you in. I will be adding more to website as the
campaign progresses: www.DonovanForSenate.com

I would be happy to have your support.

In liberty,
CHUCK
