I am glad Social Security wasn’t in the market. It is also a reminder that what a congressman does in another state,or how they vote, impacts everyone. I am fighting for a Congressional Seat against Mike Pence who wants to privatize Social Security and give people the illusion of possible great wealth. That just really makes me angry. My mother died in September and without Social Security, I hate to think what her quality of life would have been like. At least she did not have to suffer through the current Medicaid Prescription Drug Debacle.

People call Social Security and Medicaid, Entitlements, as if you are called `Duke’ or `Duchess’ or `Lord’ or `Lady’ as if royalty. Social Security and Medicaid are not `Entitlements’ and anyone that wants to spin it that way is simply showing how elitist they are. Social Security will be even more imperative with the continued gutting of pension plans. Does your loss of pension impact the CEO? You bet, he is going to get a bigger percentage, because that pension is an expense and expenses cut into profit margins. People Before Profits. I am Barry Welsh and that is the mantra of our campaign to unseat Mike Pence, People Before Profits.
While I am pointing things out, The latest tape from Osama Bin Laden reminds us of the mistake in losing focus on this real threat and invading Iraq. Sadly, it also reminds us of the need for Real Homeland Security, and the lack of security on our borders, harbors and ports. Is it really a good idea to have most of The National Guard overseas, and if they must be overseas, shouldn’t they be trying to find Osama Bin Laden, instead of being targets in Iraq?
I was not there, but I watched on TV as Former Vice President Al Gore gave a wonderful speech at Constitution Hall. As I said I was not there, but my question is, Did anyone have to sign an oath of loyalty to get in the door, or was this an American event and open to all?
My name is Barry Welsh and I am a Democratic candidate for US Congress in Indiana’s 6th District, currently held by Mike Pence, and I am running a grass roots campaign with all volunteer advisors and staff. Your $100.00 contribution to this campaign would buy 20 yard signs or pay for 10 thirty second radio spots. One hundred dollars is a lot of money to you and me, I understand that and will be frugal with all funds. Visit our website and consider donating something to the fight against Neo Conservatives. We will both be glad you did!
Thank You
Barry Welsh Indiana 6th District Democratic Congressional Candidate.
Sir, I want to applaud your running to replace one of the most horrible things we now face in America…mind y ou I said ONE!
I am with you, but here in Tennessee, I am struggling to help get in democrats in office so we can talk back America. I am not a democrat, but I vote with them. I want you to take a message with you as you do your thing, as well.
I can only speak for myself here, but if the democrats do not start to stand up for us Americans here in all of this land, we are going to show we are not with them. They tend to be republican lite and this alito thing show me a thing or two on just how they are doing this. We will nto have to strive for things like SS if we get ppl in the seats like this alito is striving for. He is going to be a life time appointment! Can you hear me? Livetime…That is for him a long time. I will nto live long enough to experience some of the brutal things our government will do to us all if we let things like this go on. But my children and grandchildren will and I say to you and all that are running onthe democratic ticket…..face us and look us squarely in the eye and tell us you will stand firmly against things like this administration has done to us in the past several years. It is not just the bush adm. but all republican adms that want to screw us all….
I for one have a 401K and I watch it like a hawk. I so understand how if we had so much as done an inkling of what this nut job in the White House wanted to do with SS, we all would be in a would of hurt for ages and ages. I want to say this too…of allt he money I have given over the years to SS..excluding the employers part, I want it back, so I can hide it or do otherwise with it. I do not trust the government anymore to do what is right! Hope you understand where I am coming from.
Thank you for running, again. Stay well and safe and praying you win….
Brenda,
Thanks for your comment. I can not look you in the eye on line, but if we were in person, I would look you in the eye and answer your valid charge to stand up to these people and what they are trying to do with our country. It will be the children and grandchildren that will feel the full brunt of the plans that are now being proposed and put into action.
I hear you Brenda, and you are not alone, many others are demanding the same thing from the Democratic Party as they should! I can not speak for anyone but myself, but I hear you, and I am standing up. Visit our campaign website if you haven’t yet. Thank you again.
Barry
