Hans Holland: Two-party system is failing us

When I was in my early conscious years
in this ‘Sovereign Republic of the United
States of America’, I made the same
mistake as most of my peers. Life in this country was good and rewarded
those who were willing to work hard
enough to improve their own position.
Our lives became so comfortable that
we failed to monitor and cause
corrections, when necessary, to our
constitutionally-defined government.

As the years passed and all the
intervening wars kept us preoccupied,
we tended to allow our government to
erode our constitutional freedoms with
the programmed purpose of protecting
us. In the upcoming 2012 presidential
election year, our worn-out two-party
system fails to differentiate and does
not provide equal access to qualified
independent candidates. There is great
concern by most of the US population
about our elected representatives
inaction, and we are having difficulty
planning an appropriate replacement.

There are significant flaws in most of the
GOP candidates running in opposition
to Barack Obama. And, in my opinion,
all except one are sponsored by
corporate and/or foreign money and will
continue the current path and direction
of our government.

The obvious exception to this is
Representative Ron Paul who accepts
only citizen contributions and does not
entertain lobbyists. It is his conviction in
constitutional government and a lack of
any contributional control that cause the
corporate media to ignore his election
activity almost completely.

If WE continue on this government’s
path of executive action for the next four
years, WE will all become socialistic
slaves to what is, even now, an elite
dictatorship. This. Is. Our. Last.
Chance! In my opinion!
