By RichardGreene

Its Tuesday and we have a very special show for you this evening. Tonight we give the mic over to feature special guests from The Progressive Democrats of America.

 

 

SUPPORT PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES OF AMERICA THROUGH ACT BLUE AND CLOUT BY CLICKING HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

The progressive Democrats of America was founded in 2004 to transform the
Democratic Party and our country. We seek to build a party and
government controlled by citizens, not corporate elites -- with
policies that serve the broad public interest, not just private
interests. As a grassroots PAC operating inside the Democratic Party, and outside
in movements for peace and justice, PDA played a key role in the
stunning electoral victory of November 2006. Our inside/outside
strategy is guided by the belief that a lasting majority will require a
revitalized Democratic Party built on firm progressive principles.

Clint
Curtis was born in rural Salem, Illinois in 1958. Growing
up in a small town, he was instilled with small town values
of doing what’s right for your fellow man and to be
involved in the community. Clint sees himself as much a
Floridian as a resident of Illinois. He split his time growing
up living with his father in Bradenton Beach Florida during
the summers and enjoying the simple farm life of his grandparents
who raised him during the winter. He still believes that
doing the right thing is more important than making a profit
and that love of country comes before personal considerations.

Gifted with
a quick and facile mind, Clint has always excelled in academics.
While Clint was at Illinois Wesleyan University, Clint's
grandparents and father passed away. Needing to juggle both
a full time job and his studies to put himself through school,
he transferred to Illinois State University to take advantage
of a more flexible schedule.

Clint became
a computer programmer in 1985 and has been responsible for
successful deployments of database, prototype, and document
management systems for:
* NASA
* Department of Human Services (Washington DC)
* Florida Department of Transportation
* Florida Department of Law Enforcement
* Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission
* Florida School Food Service
* Florida State Technology Office
* Exxon Mobil
* Ryder trucks
* And many custom small business applications

In September
of 2000, Clint’s life took a course that he never
could have imagined. It was then that Clint was first introduced
to Tom Feeney the incoming Speaker of the Florida House.
Clint was a programmer at Yang Enterprises, a company whose
owner was an associate and confidant of Mr. Feeney. Initially
Clint was impressed. He expected that Mr Feeney shared the
values of the Republicans he knew growing up in Illinois.
Clint identified with the Republican values at the time
- conservative and based on ethics and integrity. It was
always the Democrats under Mayor Daley that were engaged
in corrupt behavior. Clint expected that Mr. Feeney would
share those values. Clint soon learned he did not.

As he sat in
on meetings between the owner and Mr. Feeney, Clint quickly
discovered that Mr. Feeney was the most corrupt and unethical
person he had ever met. Tom Feeney is the poster boy for
political corruption. In a fairly early meeting Mr. Feeney
requested a prototype program that would allow for elections
to be invisibly rigged. Clint delivered the program to the
owner believing the prototype was to be used to prevent
election fraud. That was until the owner informed him that
it was to be used to “control the vote in South Florida.”

In subsequent
meetings Feeney continued to discuss unethical and illegal
aspirations. Clint resigned from the company and moved to
Tallahassee. After confirming the illegal activity on the
part of his former company and Tom Feeney (including espionage
activity), he notified the proper authorities.

Clint has continued
since that time to try to expose the corruption he witnessed.
After working for three years to expose the espionage activity,
a non-declared employee of Yang Enterprises was arrested
for shipping missile technology to the capital of Communist
China. Even though he admitted sending military technology
to China at least twenty times, the culprit was neither
given jail time nor deported. Inexplicably, he received
only a fifty dollar fine and in further conversations with
Clint admitted that he was told that if he keeps quiet he
will be given a green card. He received less penalty than
a speeding ticket and the company still retains a high security
clearance.

All honest citizens
should be concerned about removing corrupt politicians such
as Tom Feeney. Democrats, Republicans, and Independents
that are concerned with the future of our country and the
safety of its citizens need to band together to remove Tom
Feeney from office. This is why Clint is running for public
office.

Clint Curtis
Promises the People of Florida:
* My vote will not be for sale
* I will not accept “questionable donations”

* I will never protect companies that are spying for Communist
China nor any other country
* I will not take trips on lobbyist money
* I will not accept money from foreign governments
* I will return honesty and integrity to the 24th Congressional
office.
