Belfast, Me- Blaine Richardson, Captain USNR-R and Independent candidate for US Congress in Maine’s Second District, responded today to President Barack Obama’s State of the Union Address.
“The President made it very clear in his State of the Union Address that he is unwilling to work with the Congress to progress his agenda. This show that he is no longer willing to maneuver within the traditional checks and balances found in the United States Constitution,” said Richardson.
“When the President uses language like ‘So wherever and whenever I can take steps without legislation to expand opportunity for more American families, that’s what I’m going to do’ and “Let’s not have another forty-something votes to repeal a law…” an alarm should ring in the heart of every American. It is clear to me that the President of the United States no longer respects the rule of law, and for this he must be held accountable.”
“Besides showing that he is willing to work without the approval of the Congress, what I also heard last tonight was the President promoting more big government. He wants more regulations, more laws, more sanctions and more American involvement overseas. This speech showed me that the President is clearly out of touch with the will of the American people.”
Blaine Richardson for US Congress campaigns on a platform of restoring a constitutionally limited federal government, taxpayer protection, a non-interventional foreign policy and protecting all civil rights and liberties as guaranteed by the Constitution.
