Bryan Greene for US Congress (NC-District 10)

I"m not a resident of District 10, so my signature won't help, and my funds are already committed to other candidates. However, I'm sure you'll find that there are not many friends of McHenry's on this site. I hope you stick around, and get Bryan to come by and answer questions.

I don't think he's going to get a lot of Democratic votes. But Jordon responded to my not-very-kind post at Pat Go Bye Bye with respect. I encouraged him to post here. So, I'm impressed that he's keeping all conversational venues open, even though I don't respect some the candidate's stances.

If you don't want to follow the links, this is directly from his site:

• Recognize the Unborn Childs' right to life and to deem that life begins from conception.
• Illegalize abortion of any kind, because abortion for any reason is murder.
• Ensure the individual's right to keep and bear arms without unconstitutional governmental restrictions.
• Enforce current border security laws and prevent the government from granting amnesty to illegal aliens.
• Bring our troops home, and end the unconstitutionally declared war in Iraq.
• Encourage the US to re-adopt a non-interventionalist foreign policy as the founders demanded.
• Attempt to help lower, and eventually, entirely abolish the income, estate and gift taxes.
• Preserve the US Citizens' right to free speech and oppose all attempts to enact hate crime bills.

I don't know why forcing a woman to bear a baby whose birth might kill her wouldn't be considered murder by a law he wants to pass. And it seems obvious to me that we need more restrictions on gun ownership. The Virginia Tech deaths by someone clearly mentally unstable prove to me that the system needs to be tightened up.

But I like the non-interventionist policy. If we're not going to help in Darfur, we shouldn't be "helping" anywhere. Don't know about the tax ideas and I like hate crimes bills but free speech is a good thing, too.
 
News of the 10th district: See Pat Go Bye Bye,

But Bryan Greene wouldn't get my vote either, even if I did live in the 10th.

I certainly can see why you wouldn't be voting for him. Nor would I. However, he could certainly split off some of McHenry's base of supporters. That wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

Why is BlueNC on Blackberry so hard? Nothing ever posts right.

1 Thessalonians 5:21: But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.

He also believes as the founders did that that government which governs least, does govern best, therefore ours should be one of limited government reigned back by the bounds set by the US Constitution

.

is very similar to the declaration many conservatives make when they try to take away entitlement programs like Welfare, Medicaid, etc.

All teaching is related to basic assumptions about God and man. Education as a whole, therefore, cannot be separated from religious faith. The law of our Creator assigns the authority and responsibility of educating children to their parents. Education should be free from all federal government subsidies, including vouchers, tax incentives, and loans, except with respect to veterans.

Um, how is this not in direct defiance of the Constitution?

We call on our local, state and federal governments to uphold our cherished First Amendment right to free speech by vigorously enforcing our laws against obscenity to maintain a degree of separation between that which is truly speech and that which only seeks to distort and destroy.

No comment necessary.

God, who endows us with life, liberty, property, and the right to pursue happiness, also exhorts individuals to care for the needy, the sick, the homeless, the aged, and those who are otherwise unable to care for themselves.

America's welfare crisis is a government-induced crisis. Government social and cultural policies have undermined the work ethic, even as the government's economic and regulatory policies have undermined the ability of our citizens to obtain work.

Charity, and provision of welfare to those in need, is not a Constitutional responsibility of the federal government. Under no circumstances should the taxpayers of the United States be obligated, under penalty of law through forced taxation, to assume the cost of providing welfare for other citizens. Neither should taxpayers be indentured to subsidize welfare for persons who enter the United States illegally.

Gee, what a surprise.

Jordan, either you haven't got a clue as to the nature of progressive Democrats and their beliefs, or you do and are trying to sell us a pig in a poke. Either way, this:

Though Bryan Greene is not affiliated with the Democratic Party, he has views which we are sure that the Democrats can agree with, and we hope that they can stand behind us in District 10 and support Bryan Greene's campaign.

ain't gonna happen, pal.

As many have pointed out, this candidate probably would not receive too many votes from us, but he should be on the ballot. We live in an increasing complex world; we need more than two voices to be engaged in this dialog.

and for once, have the Nader effect work for the Democrats.

candidate to get on the ballot in NC. That's unforunate. The debate could be so much larger and more colorful with more than just two voices (one in some cases)

And we do have to figure out what Republicans will be morphing into.

Have you called to support H. Res 333 Impeach Cheney Today? call 202-224-3121 & ask for your Congress member by name

Is a group that wants to restore the US back to the time of the founding fathers.

In other words, no taxes except tariffs and sales taxes, very weak federal government, no environmental or safety laws, no civil rights protections, and forget about central banks.

Haven't heard their opinion on slavery yet. But their devotion to the founders seems to lead to a logical conclusion.

The libertarians never seem to have much trouble getting on the ballot, it seems like. Maybe he could run as one of them. Sure would like to see a Dem in the race though so it's not down to choosing between two reactionaries.
