In a congressional race widely billed as a Democratic-Republican showdown, a host of independent and third-party candidates have emerged.
Seven to be exact.
It’s the largest number of non-major-party hopefuls to enter a 1st District congressional race since at least 1994. These aspirants include mostly working-class idealists with a vision of a better America.
Some know they won’t win. Others insist they’re destined for D.C.

THE TRUTH HURTS
The truth is Hitler, Mao Tse Tung, and even Satan himself has their supporters. For those of you, who are here to defend Alan Nunnelee and Travis Childers, feel free to do so. This is still a free country and that’s what makes America the greatest Country in the world. We have the privilege of Freedom of choice.
But know this, my purpose for running for Congress is to inform the voters & expose the lies of how political votes have directly hurt the people of Mississippi.
TRUTH– Both Democrats & Republicans have failed us miserably.
TRUTH– Elected officials control the spending of all our hard earned money.
TRUTH–$60,000,000 of economic “Stimulus” is being saved for a rainy day. The truth is we are in the midst of an economic hurricane and the spending habits of career politicians are out of control. The truth is if Alan Nunnelee was properly budgeting money according to his job description, the money could be used to create jobs and offer relief to Mississippians who are struggling. Instead, Alan Nunnelee has decided to sacrifice our children’s future and cut Mississippi education programs.
TRUTH– Travis Childers voted for Stimulus I & Stimulus II.
The truth is the number of Food Stamp recipients has increased 19% from one year ago.
TRUTH -Travis Childers voted to cut the budget for Food Stamp recipients, the poorest people in Mississippi, in order to fund the salaries of Education Superintendents who already make over $100,000.
TRUTH – Money cut from Food Stamps could have been cut from Illegal Immigration budget of $113,000,000,000.
TRUTH– Travis Childers held back his vote of No until Pelosi had Obamacare votes.
TRUTH– Citizens who are elderly, poor, and disabled will be the first wave of Obamacare recipients to be subject to exorbitant medical bills and “pooled” into the categories of “end of life” counseling & “rationed” health care. That’s just the beginning. The Federal Government (Democrats & Republicans) have no intention of paying for our health care. Newly created “Death Panels” have already decided our fate and it all is based on the all mighty dollar.
Still believe Socialist medicine is a good thing and not a consequence of political betrayal? Just take a look and see how other Socialist governments are failing their citizens in other countries.
The truth is the voting records of Alan Nunnelee & Travis Childers speaks volume in spite of their rhetoric, expensive commercials, & well rehearsed excuses. As a retired business owner I know firsthand there is no better advertisement than word of mouth. The responsibility falls on YOU to spread the word.
TRUTH- Mississippi is a sovereign state. The very idea of a budget was created by the Republic for states to operate independently of the Federal Government. We are NOT a Socialist society! The communities of citizens rich and poor fall under the responsibility of the state. Once Mississippi or any state begins to rely on the Federal government for financial support or direction, the Republic and state sovereignty ceases to exist.
For those of you who believe I will split the vote, the truth is Alan Nunnelee & Travis Childers have been in office for many years, spent millions of our hard earned dollars, and have done NOTHING to correct the course of our sinking ship. In fact, Mississippi is in worse shape than before either of them took office.
No longer should we stand idly by while career politicians sabotage the foundations of our country. The time to vote in a Conservative Independent is NOW Mississippi!
TRUTH- Career politicians have created the illusion that their millions in campaign donations have convinced the voters of an assured victory.
TRUTH- From the beginning, I have funded my own campaign on my own dime comprised of a limited & creative staff who have donated their time to a formidable cause.
TO TAKE AMERICA BACK!
TRUTH– People, not money, have the power to push that button on November 2, 2010.
TRUTH– I have led this campaign from before the primary. My opponents have continually plagiarized information from my website and incorporated it into their speeches and advertisements.
If Nunnelee & Childers were truly concerned about the State of Mississippi, both would Step Down; Move Aside and support a True Leader to take the reins. The only way Washington is going to get the message is for a Conservative & Independent candidate to Lead the State of Mississippi.
TRUTH– I am the Only Conservative & Independent leader capable of filling the Congressional seat in November 2010
Vote Conservative Independent!
WALLY PANG FOR CONGRESS
THE SWEET SMELL OF VICTORY!
For you naysayers who claim a third party candidate cannot win an election, Second Amendment advocate and Tea Party Candidate Christine O’Donnell has shaken the two party system to their very core by defeating pro Cap and Trade, anti-gun Republican Mike Castle. The Republicans, lead by John Cornyn current chair of the NRSC (National Republican Senatorial Committee) are now throwing a tantrum promising to sideline Ms O’Donnell’s potential November victory by cutting off National fund raising support?!
The Tea Party Express has issued the following statement “We encourage the NRSC to take a night off, get some sleep, and reconsider their rash statements. It is because of inexcusable conduct in Delaware and Alaska that so many conservatives have turned to the Tea Party Express, offering their support and their donations. These people have lost faith in the NRSC as just another big-government, Washington, D.C.-based organization that has contributed to the problems this country currently faces”.
“If the NRSC is committed to defeating Democrats in November, then it is time for them to honor their mission statement and do just that. If they fail to do so, then they can expect millions of conservatives to continue to steer their donations and volunteer hours elsewhere”.
“Wake up, NRSC. The reason the tea party movement has grown into such a powerful force is because of the failures of establishment organizations such as yours to honor the principles of the Republican Party platform. You tried to force through the most liberal Republican in Congress on the voters of Delaware and they rejected you. Wake up, you are defying your own base, and will end up an irrelevant and impotent organization that serves to only amuse the corrupt political establishment in Washington, D.C.”
“The Tea Party Express will back Christine O’Donnell in the general election along with every other candidate we’ve endorsed. We trust adults at the NRSC will come to their senses and realize that the people have spoken, and it’s time for the NRSC to represent the Republicans it is supposed to represent.”
Rush Limbaugh himself even weighed in on the Republican upset!
Let’s face it, the two party system is terrified. The grassroots movement of the Tea Party has taken America by storm and currently have the Democrats and Republicans hiding under their desks in fear of voter retaliation. We will no longer allow the Democrats and Republicans to flat out deny and ignore the will of the American people.
The time is now to take our country back!
Time to pass the torch Mr Nunnelee!
Remember November Mississippi!
