  4. Presidential Candidates Ron Paul, Mitt Romney and Former Governor Sarah Palin plus Texas Governor Rick Perry has Endorsed Billy Wayne Engle Jr who is a Republican who wants to stop Big Government and Government Spending and give it back to the People
    and do more Tax Cuts for Middle Class Americans and Poor Americans plus Veterans

    if the People in his District Votes for him in these Counties in the 31st District of Texas
    as Write in Candidate, Robertson County, Williamson County, Bell County, Coryell County, Erath County, Milam County, Hamilton County, Falls County. do you want a Congressman who takes over $40 Million Dollars in nine years and plus he is Co-Chairman of House Army
    Caucus that Voted to keep the Troops in Afghanistan if Billy was there he would voted no
    and would fight to send troops home instead, three years ago he had a chance at being a
    Texas State Representative step he wasn’t Corrupt like Congressman Carter is that is way he is better Candidate and better man plus he will truly fight for you because he care just like me. don’t forget he is Bipartisan working with both Democrats and follow Republicans to get things done just like him being Elected to his fifth term as President of the Crestview Drive

    Dr Paul,as you have my vote in 2012,and amid all ignored email requests from you,I want to address the problem with politicians,and solutions I pose. 1. Make lobbyism a federal crime. 2. Reduce all governent saliries to 20k…no salary if they can’t comprimise on a budget. 3. Impose a 125 to 300% tax on imports 4. Any American company who employs only documented Americans gets a tax free season for 5 years. 5. Stop tax free status for immagrants sorry for my bad spelling
