What I believe
_________________________
While we rightly focus on petty street crime and its attendant violence, immorality and threats to our safety, we should likewise focus concerned on corporate criminality and how we are constantly being brutalized and victimized by corporate criminals who also have a heavy hand in controlling the political processes.

Can anyone still believe that George Bush and his oil baron corporate cronies actually thought that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction (the Bush rationale for invading Iraq).
___________________________
We all should know by this late date that Middle Eastern region oil and control over it was the key reason for the invasion that's killed almost 4,000 US military personnel and untold thousands (over a million) Iraqi.
___________________________
Rob Andrews has consistently voted with George Bush on continuing the Iraq Invasion for oil control and the extraordinary profits of the big oil companies, while our fuel and gas prices rise. Rep. Andrews even goes against his Party to vote with Bush and his war-for-profit allies.
___________________________
That war is spending $12 billion per month, much of it going "freely and without regulation" to private military contractors like Blackwater. Think of what $12 billion could do for the South Jersey area; for the schools, environmental clean up, creation of jobs, street crime reduction, new home mortage reductiion, and a host of other issues.
____________________________
We who are opposed to "corpocrasy" and "kleptocracy" must do all we can to throw the corporate thieves and their political allies,including Andrews, out of power. Let's redistribute the wealth to the people; the little people; the poor and victimized people. To the average working person in South Jersey who is being bled to death by the relentless, corporate gang of thieves in charge. We need economic democracy, not "corpocrasy". We want to insure the quality of life and the majority of people's needs before the profits of a tiny minority --- the needs of the many must be put before the greed and avarice of a few.

Don't Tie Camden's Economic Recovery to Pentagon Contractors
Some years back Camden's economic recovery was linked to the onstruction of prisons; a rather morbid approach to community renewal that met with a great outcry of local opposition. Lately, we in Camden gave been encouraged by the presence of a growing new university district, hospital construction, and residential and entertainment venues on riverfront that have helped in Camden's revitalization. These latter day economic developments have all been life-enhancing and, in the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King’s vision for just and peaceful ways, promote a spirit of the beloved community while offering substantial private and public investment opportunities and needed employment.
I am running for Congress as a progressive Democrat in New Jersey’s 1st District. My congressional campaign in the district is all for good paying jobs that create the foundation for developing a stable middle class.
