Restore America
by Lamar Kelsoe

As all of you are aware, our country is in the midst of the worst economic situation since the Great Depression of the 1930s, and it is getting worse. Four years ago Obama promised changes that would move our country in a better direction, and he was elected based on those promises. His promises were either changed or not kept, and our economy has plunged deeper and deeper in debt, more unemployment and more homes underwater. We must remember, “SUCCESS IS THE RESULT OF WHAT ONE DOES, NOT WHAT ONE PROMISES TO DO.” Obama promised lots of things, but did he do what he promised? NO!

One of the most, if not the most, frightening things we are facing today is the rapid growth of inflation. Since Obama came into power, the price of food, gas, clothing and most everything else we buy has increased by about 20 percent. That means the $100 you had three years ago is now worth only about $80. If that continues for another four years, the $100 you have today will be worth maybe $50. One of the worst aspects of inflation is that every time the product you buy goes up a dollar, the CALIFORNIA government collects another 7.75 percent in TAXES. Do you think Jerry Brown or Obama would be inclined to stop the inflation or would they sit back, smile, and count the extra TAX dollars that will be flowing in. Governments love inflation because they take in hundreds of billions of extra tax dollars to spend in whatever way they choose. We must put a stop to this.

Our Nation was founded on the principal of the government being “OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE.” That has changed since Obama took over and today is more like, “OF THE POLITICIANS, BY THE POLITICIANS AND FOR THE POLITICIANS.” If we sit back and watch the Liberal Media and believe their nonsensical baloney that things are getting better, we will see our country become a socialist state led by a self-centered dictator. This has to be changed, but to make this change and bring back our government, “OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE,” we must have a goal and a plan. The lack of a goal and a plan would be like heading out on vacation without knowing where you’re going or how to get there.

OUR GOAL: Replace Obama in November with someone who will respect America’s values, stand by the Constitution, build jobs, cut taxes, eliminate Obamacare and stop the ridiculous spending.

Our PLAN: We must come together as a group to show support for that candidate who has the best chance of helping us reach our goal. We must turn off the TV get off our----- “SOFAS” ----- and get involved with our neighbors, friends, our children, relatives and business associates and ask for their help in accomplishing our goal. Walk the neighborhoods, get people to register to vote and leave information that would be helpful to educate people of the benefits of our goal. Make talks at any business meeting that you can, spelling out the benefits to AMERICA in our goal. Email, text or tweet everyone you know about our goal and ask them to do the same.

This coming election in November will be the most crucial election this country has ever had. We must get Obama out of the White House so that our country can recover to what we know America is capable of. Your effort can make that happen.

God bless you and God Bless America.
