The Roberts Trap is Sprung

One of the most overlooked aspects of the year just ended is the vindication of Chief Justice John Roberts -- a vindication that showed up as the national catastrophe known as ObamaCare got rolling.  Roberts may have also doomed Hillary Clinton's chance to live in the White House again... click here to read whole editorial

 

Congressional Candidate Richardson Announces Independent Run

Fort Fairfield Journal, January 22, 2014

BELFAST, Maine - Blaine Richardson, Captain USNR-R and Congressional candidate in Maine’s Second District has announced that he is leaving the Republican Party to run as an independent candidate.

   Maine’s 2nd Congressional District, currently represented by Congressman, Mike Michaud, is the largest district east of the Mississippi River and the 24th-largest overall. The district comprises most of the land area north of the Portland and Augusta metropolitan areas. It includes the cities of Bangor, Lewiston, Auburn, and Presque Isle.

   “Today I am excited to announce that I am filing my paperwork to run as an independent candidate for Congress in Maine’s second congressional district,” said Richardson, “I believe by running as a independent candidate I can more directly take my campaign’s message to the voters in the district.”

   “For me this decision came down to two things, personal conviction and common sense. As a retired military veteran I have an obligation to defend and support the United States Constitution no matter what, this decision helps me fulfill that obligation.”

   “Secondly common sense tells me that the voters in Maine’s second district are looking for a candidate for Congress that will be independent. With folks becoming more and more dissatisfied with political parties, I want to offer them a candidate that is independent of a political party, that comes with executive branch experience and that has many years of leadership from my time in the service.”

   Richardson campaigns on a platform of restoring a constitutionally limited federal government, taxpayer protection, a non-interventional foreign policy and protecting all civil rights and liberties as guaranteed by the Constitution.

   Richardson is not running as a member of the Independent party, but as an independent candidate not enrolled in any political party.
