John Mertens Speech July 4, 2009

John, simply shame on you for speaking at a Tea Party event.

That crowd was full of Obama haters, anti-abortion activists, gun-nuts, racists, anti-immigrant haters, and Glenn Beck-lovers.

That you chose to associate with them says plenty.

Great job John, especially about my favorite subject the "drug war". How can I help?

Clifford Wallace Thornton, Jr.

Hear hear for term limits! We also need automatic expiring spending programs requiring a super majority to keep running. We need reforms that making the position of Congressman to be less desirable as a prize job to achieve.

Stick with the getting government off of everyone's back and stop aggravating every social and environment problems.

Definitely running for office must be open to all Americans(with a provable birth certificate) without a lot of local rules to thwart that right.
