Des Moines County GOP

Guest Editorial

MONEY IS THE PROBLEM

The great scandal of our government is the corruption of its processes through the power of the dollar. This is what Watergate is about: the scandals at the White House reflect the scandals on the Hill: Democrats as well as Republicans are tarred. The services of congressmen, cabinet members and agencies have been bought and sold.

One root of the evil is the campaign contribution. Politicking is such expensive business that even noble souls must seek funds, legally or illegally, directly or by subterfuge, from corporations, unions, associations and the power hungry rich. For the big gifts, the givers expect special favors in return, favors the ordinary citizen cannot get. This is plutocracy, not democracy.

As 2014 Looms, More Democrats Are Voicing Their Concerns On ObamaCare

JUST DAYS AGO, THE NUMBER TWO HOUSE DEMOCRAT SAID HE HAS CONCERNS WITH OBAMACARE

• According To Democrat Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD), Democrats Are Concerned About The Political Fallout And “Conceded That Stumbling Blocks Are Inevitable” As ObamaCare Is Implemented. “Democrats anticipate glitches in ObamaCare's implementation and are anxious about the potential political fallout, Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Tuesday. But with the central reforms set to be installed within the next year, the Maryland Democrat also conceded that stumbling blocks are inevitable and Republicans will likely pounce on each one.” (Mike Lillis, “Hoyer: Dems Fear ObamaCare Glitches,” The Hill’s Health Watch, 5/14/13)

AND OVER THE LAST WEEK, TWO MORE SENATE DEMOCRATS SAID THEY HAD CONCERNS ABOUT OBAMACARE’S IMPLEMENTATION

Pay Pal Up And Running

The Des Moines County Central Committee depends on your donations to “keep the door open” so to speak.

We have provided a PayPal option with the button below.  This a method used on the internet to pay by credit card without giving your card number to everyone.  It is widely used on e-bay as only PayPal has your number.

Our biggest challenge is coming up very soon, that being funding a “headquarters” where candidates can leave literature, yard signs, and any other material they might have for you to pick up so there will be a central location accessible to everyone. A place that is easy to find, and, most of all, a place we can afford.

That affording part is where the “rub” comes in. It is hard to find a place that we will need only six months for a sum we can afford.

We would appreciate any contribution you can make to the cause.
If you do not wish to use “Pay Pal” we still have a post office box and an envelop with a check enclosed will be greatly appreciated.
Our thanks go out to the supporters of the Republican cause who have given generously. We appreciate your support!
