To the 23rd District,
I would like to thank all of the 10,414 voters who took the time to look at my website, read about my ideas and in a lot of cases voted out of their party, for a Common Man for Congress.
I will never forget you and this experience. I will always be forever grateful for your support.
Unfortunately, we did not win, that means my campaign must end. That does not mean I have to stop my protest movement to protect all of our personal freedoms. I will continue to put Country before party, and vote for the best candidate with the most common sense ideas, with strong plans for protecting our rights. We were not able to unseat Congressman Kevin McCarthy, but we let him know that a lot of voters in the 23rd District want him to start working for the common good, and stop the gridlock in Congress . Stop being afraid of your party ! Start working with the President toward a better future for us all ! If not, you just might have a fight on your hands in 2016 !
In closing, I would like to ask a few final questions and hopes of all of us?
First, If the last time people voted out of their political party or voted out a Senate or Congressional Incumbent was more than a decade ago, they might want to change that, or stop complaining that our Government never changes?
Second, People can not be a conservative and be a risk taker (by definition), or be a risk taker in business and not want to invest in our Country, without economic certainty and assured guaranties from our Government that they can not lose. That is the risk, in being a "Risk Taker"!
Third, We must never forget that the eight-hour work day, forty-hour work week, lunch hours, bathroom breaks, overtime pay, paid vacations, maternity leave and safe working conditions.
Were all brought to all of us by the organization of Workers' Unions !
Fourth, We must stop cutting back on our public learning institutions and our teachers, to the bare minimum staff and only include the basics. Reading, writing and arithmetic is not enough.
Because without art, music, literature, science and history our children will have nothing to read, no creative thoughts to write down, no idea of our past and no place in our future. They will not need the ability to add up the money they earn, because they will not be able find a job to earn any.
And finally, How long since Major American Corporations have created American jobs in this Country, do they get to still be considered "Job Creators"?
My hope is that we stay involved in the process that governs us, continue voting against Business and Politics as usual, and push for Governance and Leadership as promised. Because if we do not, the next generation will find themselves having to fight for the same rights and freedoms that this generation takes for granted, and our previous generations had to fight so hard to get.
Sometimes the only way to be true Patriots, and to Rebel against a system, that more and more does
not care about us, or want our input as to how it is being run, is by running for office, so it can be
changed from within. Maybe my run will start a trend of common sense candidates doing just that?
Just a few parting thoughts for all of you to ponder, before you cast your next vote.
Thanks again,
Eric Parker
Former Candidate for Congress
Now that my campaign is over I can get the bike out of the garage and in the wind where it belongs!
See you around the District, Thanks again.
