Gail Parker Offers Positive Solutions Missing From Big Two Party US Senate Debate
Added: (Fri Sep 19 2008)
Unlike her opponents, Gail Parker, Independent Green candidate for the US Senate offers solutions specific to Virginia and invaluable in this time of economic crises.
Only Ms. Parker has consistently addressed the federal deficit and the need to balance the budget immediately. Plus she offers a simple plan to pay off the federal debt in five years – by installing an auditable accounting system in the Department of Defense where no-bid contracts and improper payments are bankrupting our Treasury.
Gail “for Rail” Parker served as an officer in the US Air Force and was a former budget analyst at the Pentagon. She is uniquely qualified to address issues that neither of the two former Governors has even thought about. One of her issues is forcing the US to oblige by the Arms Export Control Act.
For over 20 years the administrations in power have allowed the Department of Defense to supply defense articles to foreign governments without going through the arms sale approval process. The unauthorized sale of certain technology could cause the unnecessary loss of U.S. service men and women’s lives if unexpectedly faced in combat with our own lethal technology and places innocent U.S. citizens at increased risk of retaliatory terrorist attacks.
She has posted plans on rectifying these policy blunders on her website, stating: The sale of arms without going through the arms sale approval process is a violation of the U.S. Constitution since the authority to approve arms sales is delegated to the U.S. Congress, therefore anyone unknowingly participating would have been subject to punishment by law if the sales became known.
Gail Parker attended the September 18 debate in McLean between her big two party opponents, but was not permitted to participate. Another televised debate is scheduled in Roanoke with the TV station sponsoring the debate claiming that a ten percent poll reading is necessary for Ms. Parker to participate.
The latest USA survey poll indicates a 20% increase in support for Independent Gail “for Rail” Parker. Advocating energy solutions starting with More Trains, Less Traffic, she is connecting with independent and swing voters who are not impressed by either of the big two. She urges voters to call WSLS TV 10 in Roanoke VA at 540-512-1550 demanding her inclusion in the upcoming debate.
Gail will take her campaign to the Isle of Wight County Fair this weekend and the state fair in Richmond next weekend.
