Barack Obama - Pay Attention to Lt. Col. (Ret) Allen West

 "Promote the general welfare not Provide welfare"

Lt. Col. (Ret) Allen West is running for a seat in Congress.  A 22 year veteran of the U.S. Army, he swears to uphold the pledge he and all military persons take - "to support and defend the Constitution of the United States from foreign and domestic enemies".  Our domestic enemies are out in the open, they are the "banksters" on Wall Street who have seemingly taken control of our lives stripping us of our wealth and with the aid of our government continue to do so.

The time has come, he says, to gather in various meeting places to talk about and take action to restore our freedoms and opportunities granted us by the Constitution.  We need more leaders like him in government, a leader for the people not for the establishment.  A leader that wants to end the conflict between the average American and those who have placed themselves on a higher socioeconomic ladder.  There is, he says, a class struggle going on.
