You hear them preach it loud and proud around the country, Hillary and Billy are the agents of change. Campaigning in New Jersey Bill Clinton repeated this many times with an emphasis on how we elect a President who can make either positive or negative changes. His assurance to the audience was Hillary Clinton was an agent of change capable of making positive changes. He stressed the 35+ years of experience at implementing quality changes.
Like so much rhetoric found in a stump speech these words always sound good to the ear. When people are hurting there is an inherent desire to grab on to any message that sounds like it will help us both today and tomorrow. However, the types of change promoted by Hillary and Billy don't appear to truly help the country as a whole for the long-term. The former President and his wife talk about how our nation is becoming far more unequal. They talk about our moral obligation to end inequality in the United States. (I wonder when Bill receives pay for a speaking engagement does he toss his fee in a pot with all the other workers and stage hands helping put on the speech and then divide it up equally with them?)
Following the South Carolina Primary Bill Clinton stated, "And let us begin with a clear statement. This country needs a change in direction." He went on to provide an insight into the direction Hill-Billy has in store for us if we'll vote for Hillary, "Now, what does that mean? What does it mean? It means, number one, we've got to do something about the growing gnawing inequality in America, inequality in incomes, inequality in health care, inequality in education."
A moral obligation to end inequality is a feel good sentiment to be sure. Why wouldn't we all want to help those less fortunate? If we are among the less fortunate why wouldn't we want others to lift us up to an equal level? This is a very familiar appeal.
But one of the most vital principles of communism, a principle which distinguishes it from all reactionary socialism, is its empirical view, based on a knowledge of man's nature, that differences of brain and of intellectual ability do not imply any differences whatsoever in the nature of the stomach and of physical needs; therefore the false tenet, based upon existing circumstances, "to each according to his abilities", must be changed, insofar as it relates to enjoyment in its narrower sense, into the tenet, "to each according to his need"; in other words, a different form of activity, of labour, does not justify inequality, confers no privileges in respect of possession and enjoyment. (Volume II of The German Ideology by Marx and Engels)
The Marxist Theory known as Communism also sounded good to the ears of the working class, the proletariat. Strapped with ever growing debt, failing to achieve an economic level desired, working hard while not being able to get ahead all create pent up frustration for men and women everywhere. To hear a voice calling out with a call to "...do something about the growing gnawing inequality in America..." draws the listener, the voter in. A change of this nature sounds very good after decades of struggle.
This is a dangerous change however. True communism as taught in the theories of Marx and Engels has never been achieved. To transition from capitalism to communism requires a period of socialism under totalitarian rule according to the theory. The power obtained by the rulers combined with the oppression of the people as equality is forced upon them breaks down just as we witnessed it break down in the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
There are many changes necessary for improving the United States. The transition toward socialism which is already under way must be stopped rather than accelerated. The Hill-Billy Team appears to want to accelerate the change through socialized health care, government control of the markets, direct influence of the way we interact financially, and many other proposals you can study from their campaign's platform. The changes they want are a direct path toward communism yet it is a path without an end due to the totalitarian requirement of the leaders attempting to take us down that path. True communism cannot be reached.
Other alternatives are being presented this election cycle. Before you cast your vote based on the stump speeches of the Hill-Billy Team study all other options. There are more conservative approaches being presented and there are even candidates daring to challenge the people to restore the experiment this country was founded upon. Know the options and understand the consequences of change. If you truly don't mind marching toward a socialistic U.S. the Hill-Billy Team offers the most direct path. If liberty and personal responsibility are more important, truly if a government by the people is an ideal you're prepared to sacrifice for your vote must go to another candidate. An educated vote is the only way to avoid a wasted vote and the perils of making another serious election year error.

House Democrats are having behind-the-scenes discussions about creating a special visa for illegal aliens they believe will enjoy considerable Republican support. Under the plan, an illegal alien who can prove they have a job, pay a fine, and pass a criminal background check will receive the gift of legal status for 5 years. The plan would attract pro-business Republicans and those who backed the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill by also increasing the number of visas issued for technical, temporary and agricultural workers.
Their plan appears to be to create a bi-partisan alternative to the bi-partisan SAVE Act, which focuses on reducing illegal immigration instead of rewarding it.
Please send this fax to your U.S. Representative asking them to oppose the 5-year amnesty.
