David Brownlow for U.S. Senate

David Brownlow is a running as the Constitution Party of Oregon candidate for the U.S. Senate in the state of Oregon.

The Candidate

He believes that abortions should always be illegal. His number one priority is “End the abortion holocaust: Nearly 50,000,000 unborn Americans have been murdered.” “Of this we can be sure - there WILL BE an accounting. May GOD have mercy on America when the payment comes due,” he says.

He would eliminate income tax and most other federal taxes.

On federal crime, he says, “With very few exceptions, such as: treason, patent infringements, piracy on the high seas and counterfeiting, (counterfeiting done by anyone other than the Federal Reserve that is!) the federal government has NO authority over local law enforcement. Crime issues belong ‘to the states respectively, or to the people.’” (That last statement refers to the 10th amendment.) On drugs, he says, “The federal ‘drug war’ has been a spectacular failure, leading only to a loss of liberty for those of us who do not use mind-altering drugs. It is time to end this federal intervention in state and community issues.

On education he says, “Government schools are designed to churn out an annual crop of fearful, obedient servants-- who believe; they came from slime, their parents are liars, and there is no God.”

He says, “The federal government has no authority to deal with employment or affirmative action issues.” On the environment he says, “The Constitution limits federal property to the area of Washington DC, forts, stockyards, and other needful buildings. The lands belong to the states, who are responsible to look over it.”

On gun control he says, “The 2nd Amendment does not bestow some special new right to us. It merely affirms our inalienable right to self defense and guarantees access to the means with which to exercise it.”

He has indicated that he believes that providing health care is not a responsibility of the federal government. About Social Security he says, “Our social security system is an illegal Ponzi scheme that is trillions of dollars in the hole. It is time to obey the law and let the people handle their own retirement.” He would abolish all federal welfare programs.

On illegal immigration, he says, “Defending our borders from invasion is one of the few legitimate roles of the federal government. We need to hold our Congressmen accountable to obey the law.”

On foreign aid, he says, “International Aid programs should be eliminated.”

On defense spending, he says, “We need a well maintained Navy, but we should move away from a standing army and rely on the militia/Guard as outlined in the Constitution. Our military could be less than 1/5 of current size if we would quit trying to be the world’s police force.”

On the war in Iraq he says, “Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and was never a threat to America. Iraq didn't even have an army! We were lied to by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the rest of the warmongering cutthroats who have seized control of our country. We need to apologize to the Iraqi people, and offer to pay for all the things we broke and the people we killed. Then, we need to get our boys out of there immediately.” On other military issues he says, “We need to keep our noses out of North Korean politics. We need to get out of Afghanistan immediately.”

He goes on to say, “The most effective way to ensure our national security is to end the imperialist misadventures we have been dragged into. A good start would be to bring hone every one of the 400,000 troops we have stationed in 140 of the world’s 192 countries. We are not the world's police force!” His number two priority is, “The biggest danger to our freedom is the American imperialist war machine. It is time to shut it down.”

He is against the U.S. membership in the UN (the Unethical Narcissists), WTO (World Totalitarian Organization), NAFTA (North American Fraud and Theft Agreement), CAFTA (Central American Free Treachery Agreement), GATT (Global Agreement on Treason and Tyranny), and all MFN (Most Favored [Fascist] Nation) status agreements.

His number three priority is “Our Constitution has been torn to shreds, leaving us with a federal government that has more in common with a vast criminal enterprise than it does a legitimate government. We should hold our Congressmen accountable…”

He opposes a constitutional amendment that would define marriage as a union between a man and woman. Curious as to why? I wrote about this in more depth in my previous post.

Opponent 1

Senator Gordon Harold Smith voted for Senator Edward Kennedy’s bill to add sexual orientation to the list of federal hate crimes. He would include sexual orientation in federal anti-discrimination laws as well. (This is an example sanctioning wicked behavior.)

He believes that abortion should be legal in cases of rape and incest. He supports funding for embryonic stem cell research and affirmative action programs.

There is hardly an area of government that he doesn’t want expand and increase spending for, but yet wants to cut taxes and increase deductions and credits. All this with a $9.5 trillion debt! Where is all that spending money going to come from Senator Smith? Brownlow, in contrast, would not only decrease spending in these areas, but in most cases would actually eliminate them altogether.

One these spending increases that Smith supports is the hated No Child Left Behind Act which gives the federal government even more power over an already broken and corrupt education system.

Though he says he favors leaving Iraq now, he voted for the war (the use of force) in 2002 and has voted against redeployment measures as late as 12/18/07.

Opponent 2

Jeff Merkley believes that abortions should always be legal. Like Smith, he would include sexual orientation in federal anti-discrimination laws.
