We don’t usually comment on national politics as we prefer to focus on local issues that don’t receive much attention from state or national media. But to the extent that the following video will awaken our local patriots to the fallacy of Republican protection of your constitutional rights, we felt this was an opportunity that couldn’t be ignored. With Newt Gingrich’s admission that he supports Obamacare’s individual mandate, he has finally revealed himself to the public for the the big government Republican he’s always been. Newt Gingrich can now join the ranks of other big government Republicans who have a record of eroding your rights for the benefit of expanded government power. Others like: John McCain, Mitt Romney, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Olympia Snow, George W. Bush, Richard Nixon and our very own local Republican, Linda Parks. Even Tony Strickland, who recently voted to keep community redevelopment agencies (a favorite tool for reshaping our communities by progressives and liberals) has compromised your rights. Republicans leaders aren’t the only ones between us and the commissars. They ARE the commissars!

Together with the Libertarian Party you can put a stop to this. We hope that after watching this video by the John Birch Society that you’ll reconsider your association with the Republican party and consider joining the only party of true constitutional government: The Libertarian Party.

(Note: While the John Birch Society may accurately describe the real Newt Gingrich, the LPVC does not necessarily agree with or endorse their positions.)
