Why I Totally Oppose Al Gore as Candidate for
Vice-President of United States of America
1.) Term Limits for Congress:
May 22, 1991, voted against an amendment to limit Senators to two
consecutive terms if they fund their campaigns with tax dollars.
2.) Using Taxes To Promote Abortion:
July 16, 1991, voted against a bill to prohibit tax-funded family-
planning clinics from promoting abortion.
3.) Abstinence-Based Sex Education:
September 12, 1991, voted against an amendment to transfer $10 million
from surveys on adult sexual behavior to the abstinence-based Adolescent
Family Life Program, thus voting against abstinence-based sex education.
4.) Taxpayer Funding of Pornography:
September 19, 1991, voted against an amendment prohibiting the National
Endowment for the Arts from spending taxpayers funds on pornographic art.
Fortunately, amendment passed 68-28.
5.) School Prayer:
January 23, 1992, voted against amendment to state the sense for the
Senate that the Supreme Court should reverse its decisions prohibiting
voluntary prayer and Bible reading in public schools.
6.) Freedom of Choice In Education:
January 23, 1992, voted against an amendment to provide low-income parents
with money to enroll their children at the public or private school of
their choice, including religious schools, thus giving parents a choice
as to where to send their children to school.
7.) Line--Item Veto:
February 27, 1992, voted against an amendment which would give the
President line-item veto authority. With this ability, the President
could veto such items as pay raises, ridiculous regulations designed
to increase budget spending, and other items that get tacked on at
the end of a bill. Incidentally 47 of our 50 states now have such
authority.
8.) Taxes:
March 13, 1992, Gore voted for an amendment which had it passed, would
have been a motion to permit consideration to require 3/5 vote of the
Senate to raise taxes but to let a simple majority cut taxes. Motion
was fortunately rejected 37-58.
9.) Balanced Budget Amendment:
April 9, 1992, he voted against a motion to state the sense of the
Senate that it should adopt by June 5 a joint resolution proposing
a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution. Motion passed 63-32.
10.) Environment Issues (what's termed as his speciality):
Al Gore has pushed environment issues to the point of absurdity, fraud,
and deceit. He states and makes claims which lack proof, are based on
accusations of findings, misinterpretations, and glory reporting. For
every issue that you find he stands by with "firm" conviction stating
that he speaks and knows "the facts to be...", you can also find an equal
or greater source which contradicts his entire scope and basis for argument.
I do not think any one man can be so sure of an issue(s) which clearly has
so many unanswered questions, variables, and contradictions.
In fact, NASA has come forth recently stating that their findings
concerning ozone depletion (from which ALL current information concerning
ozone levels was derived from a report released by NASA), was taken out
of context, claiming the media misunderstood and/or misinterpreted the
reports. This recent information brought forth by NASA stating the need
for the public to know and understand the truth came about following an
article released by Time magazine which, according to NASA, was the point
at which they knew they must inform the public correctly. NASA reported
that what we refer to as ozone "depletion" is not depletion at all...
rather ozone has been found to act seasonally. The NASA reports released
were misinterpreted suggesting that depletion was occuring. NASA stated
that it did not correct these misinterpretations immediately because they
offered no threat, only a misunderstanding brought on by the medias own
ignorance and perceived as dangerous by the media. However, with all the
press on doom and gloom, they felt compelled to come forth and try to
straighten out the situation following the release of the Time issue which
featured a cover depicting an ozone hole on fire. (Their rebuke can be
found in Insight Magazine). How then, according to Al Gore, can there
positively be a hole in the ozone over Kenney Bunkport, Maine (funny how
coincidental that this is where George Bush's retreat is) when in fact it
was after these statements and the release of Al Gore's book, that NASA
came forth to confirm otherwise, that there is no depletion, and that their
findings only show ozone to be seasonal.
For more information on how ecology and environment deceit plays a role
in political platforms, I suggest you read Al Gore's book, then compare
it to Dixie Lee Ray's book entitled "Trashing The Planet". (Ray is former
governor of Washington, chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, assistant
secretary of state in the U.S. Bureau of Oceans, and long-time member of
the Zoology faculty of the University of Washington.) The comparison will
be interesting even if you don't agree with me. ...but you will.
I present this evidence to show that Al Gore is not change, but rather
damaging to the beliefs of the majority of Americans, the needs for our
country, and the rights of individuals to hold on to the freedoms we so
dearly cherish, and to further give evidence that this election, although
construde by many as a chance for change, is really about much more. We
must find a way to inform the people so that we can return to the type of
government we now must envision. As Ross Perot said simply, "Our choices
should be Heads you win, or Tails you win". Unfortunately, I find myself
defending a candidate I too am unhappy with, but trying to point out the
absolute absurdity in thinking we have an opportunity for change. We don't!
So please consider the issues, and vote not about change, but for what is
best. Change is not always good. It is my hope that this may serve as a
prime example.
