Re: Paying taxes doesn’t allow Atheists, nor any g roup , to dictate to others.

Dear Keith: As our 'group-dominated' political system now dictates,
every single candidate must state their positions on issues in such a
way as to attract the most from the various fighting group factions,
and repel the least. A primary example is the "requirement" that
one's position on abortions be stated. Every candidate must also have
a position on labor unions and gun control, ad nauseum. Effectively,
the BLACKMAILING groups are determining who can become candidates for
public office. And the media is "covering" just the two candidates
they figure will cause the races to become cliff-hangers. Don't you
realize that when the 'winning' party is allowed to chair the various
committees, that any semblance of our being a "Republic" gets thrown
out the window for another two years? And don't you realize that
allowing there to be spaced-out party primaries, that states like IOWA
have more influence than one-person-one-vote? Lastly, don't you
realize that by allowing the parties' candidates to campaign for
months and months, that the so-called swing states like Ohio and
Florida have undue influence? My "NC" will limit all political
campaigns to just four months before elections; limit total
expenditures per candidate to just five million dollars; and PROHIBIT
having any press-the-flesh campaigning by national candidates! People
should be able to determine who they want to be president and vice
president based on fairly-moderated and nationally televised debates
and candidate interviews. Allowing the "Obama" ilk to spend two
billion dollars campaigning when the Democrats need to have that money
in their own pockets, doesn't make a bit of sense. If I have
"repeated myself" here, so be it. — J. A. Armistead —
