The Help John Conyers Read The Damn Bill Act of 2009
To the Editor:
Democrat Representative John Conyers, husband of the corrupt and convicted former Detroit councilwoman Monica Conyers, has actually said something that makes sense. It is a rare moment indeed for the often bumbling Congressman who I suspect on more than one occasion has had trouble dressing himself because someone wrote “left” on his right [...]
About Those Tea Parties
To the Editor:
According to some in the news media, I might pass for an “extreme right-wing racist”. Well, when I attended a local tea party here in the nearly bankrupt state of New Jersey, I saw men and women, young and old, black and white, middle class and rich, along with Democrats and Republicans.
Our purpose in [...]
Dick Cheney For President
To the Editor:
Tony Soprano was the first to publicly espouse the idea, “Dick Cheney for president” (see ‘The Sopranos’ season 5). I’m not saying I’m a card-carrying fan of the former vice president, but many staunch members of the republican party may have to agree with Soprano by the time the 2012 campaigns swing into [...]
Barack Obama is not Hitler
To the Editor:
I will get right to the point; Barack Obama is not Hitler: from the former, who may or may not be educated, such a comparison originates from a misunderstanding of Obama’s fundamental concept of “change”, from the latter, such a comparison originates from a limited fundamental knowledge of history and its uses.
Before I [...]
GOP Politicians Who Oppose Public Programs But Attended Public Universities
To the Editor:
President Obama made a great point in a speech to students. He pointed out that some suggest government is trying to take over the healthcare system. He further pointed out that we have private universities and we have public universities but no one has suggested government wants to take over the university system. [...]
Holding Successful Political Town Hall Meetings
To the Editor:
Town hall meetings are one of the most popular formats for political meetings. Candidates love them because they provide a chance to press the flesh with regular voters, and voters love them because they get the chance to ask their own questions and hear answers straight from the candidate.
While town hall meetings can [...]
Are You Ready to Run for Political Office?
To the Editor:
As a professional political consultant, many would-be candidates come to me and say, “I want to run for office.” My response to them is always the same… “are you sure?”
Now, it may seem odd that I ask that question, given that my income is dependent on new candidates running for office and hiring [...]
ACORN Smouldering?
To the Editor:
They say that where there is smoke there is fire. They also say that the acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree. And they say that Obamas past affiliations with ACORN is a “troubling issue”. Hey, there have been so many troubling issues with “past associations” that Obama has had, what’s another one [...]
How to Raise Money for Your Political Campaign
To the Editor:
Money is a fact of life in politics. Without it, campaigns find it extremely hard to get their message out, raise the profile of their candidate, and hire and equip staff to oversee the campaign’s volunteer and grassroots organizations. While most candidates would rather spend their time making speeches and thinking about the [...]

By Dennis Copson
On November 4th, Americans chose their next President with a convincing declaration that they were unhappy with the status quo and wanted dramatic change! They rejected experienced John McCain selecting an untested Barack Obama.
There were seven reasons for this: Foremost was the ‘Bush Factor’. However much he disavowed it, McCain was tagged as a [...]
