GREEN PARTY CANDIDATE RUNNING IN THE 17TH CONGRESSIONAL

 

Quad Cities - The Illinois Green Party has another congressional candidate, and his name is Troy Dennis. Mr. Dennis is a resident of Mount Zion, IL where he has worked as a restaurateur and small business owner in logistics.

 

Mr. Dennis is the only opponent against incumbent Phil Hare. Mr. Dennis is an informed citizen who is tired of the whole system. I am tired of the pandering, lip service, corruption, disregard for the constitution, and the destruction of ideals. Mr. Dennis has a website, which is www.troydennis2008.com. Mr. Dennis is also not taking PACs, lobby money, or corporate contributions.

   In the military, we always make sure we never leave a man behind.   But in society, we are quick to jeapordize the individual for the greater good of the collective!   In a Democracy, the majority is always right, and the laws reflect their will.   But is a majority of people always right, or is that really just mob rule?   Our Federal Constitution under Article IV Section 4, guarentees each state in the union a Republican form of Government, not a Democracy.   A Republic is a Government of laws, not of men.   Laws created in order to ensure protection to the individual, not a group.   In a Republic, society never leaves a citizen behind!   No one can infringe on the Individual's rights to Life, Liberty or Property so long as he/she allows the same respect for others.   Here is a Freedom Creed I believe every American should hold close to their heart, for it is the only belief that ensures that we never leave a man behind again!
