Russian/ Venezuala ties

Okay, lets get this straight.
America tries to put a missile defense system in Poland and Russia is worried.
But Russia straighten military ties with Venezuela and there is no problem?
Russia is starting to have joint military exercises with Venezuela as well as solicit military equipment.
Someone needs to let Russia know who won the Cold War. We need a President who supports missile defense system and would not let Russia bully us or any other nations. We need McCain!!!

What happens if we strike Pakistan, like Obama wishes

We folks,
we now know what Pakistan's military would do if American military would try to invade Pakistan in search of Bin Ladin, Pakistan would strike back. Pakistan announce that it would fire upon American forces if they take any offensive in action in Pakistan. Currently there are negotiation going on between American and Pakistan's leaders to resolve this issue. I hope in light of this news, Obama can rethink his idea of bombing Pakistan.

The troops are coming home! The troops are victorious!

I have good news, General Petraeus are calling for up to 8,000 in troop withdrawal. After Petraeus recommended troops to be withdrawn from Iraq's western region of Anbar Province, Iraq's security forces took control of Anbar Province. Petraeus feels confident in recommeding that troop withdrawals because the surge is working. Including Anbar Province, Iraqi Security Forces have control of 14 of 18 of their provinces.

I'm running for Congress

I'm running for congress.
That is right me, Damien Johnson, is running for House of Representative of the first congressional district. As your congressional leader, I want to advocate for a comprehensive energy plan. I'm a big advocate for the environment. On a personal level, I conserve energy and I urge other to do the same. For example, I ride my bike as my main way of transportation and recycle. I think we all can recycle, but I can't expect a head of house hold to a family of 4 on the handle bars. So I'm an advocate of more drilling to increase the supply of oil and I urge you to sign the Drill here, Drill Now petition. Alone with my support of more drilling, I believe the government should encourage the use of alternative energy. I support the renew of the green tax credits. Since the passage in 2005, these tax credits wind and solar power industries have seen a growth. Without the tax credits, America could fall behind in renewable energy.

The auto industries believe that they can produce viable plug in hybrids by the year 2010. To help them along the way, tax credits should be offered to them.
We need both tax credits and increase supply of oil and we need green tax credits so Americans won't have to soli depend on oil. Green tax credits is the governments way of encouraging environmental friendly energy.
So this November when you vote for McCain, write me in.

Polish support for Missile Defense

In light of the recent Russian aggression, support for a Missile Defense system has grown. In to a recent poll, 58% of poles support it. In 2007, only 30% support it. Russia don't want Russia to have a missile defense system. Georgia didn't want Russia to invade them, but that didn't stop Russia. The bottom line, every nation has a right to do what it takes to defend theirself and if another nation don't like it, too bad.
In other News, Pakistani President Musharref decided to resign today. He hoped Pakistan would forgive his mistakes. In a column written my Con Coughlin of the London Telegraph, Coughlin explains that as long as Musharref remained in power, the West had an ally it can rely on in the war against Terrorism. Now since Musharref is stepping down, this could change
