Sincerely,

....................................................................................................................................................................................................

- Do you ... have a picture of me ? Yes/No

Some responses to a recent questionaire....2008 Campaign

1. Troop withdrawal? Immediately? Criteria?
Withdrawn: YES ! immediately: No. Very soon.(Some are on 5th & 6th tours of duty) Draft would put and end to it quickly. Iraqi Gov't (as of this date NOW wants timeschedule for withdrawal from U.S. Gov't. also.)
That criteria needs to be met by the next president and his/her military advisors.

2. Could you work with those across the isle?
Yes. (see question 1) & ie oil drillings...

3. Issues?
FUEL PRICES, drilling, alternatives, homeowners insurance, the WAR, healthcare for all, prescription prices, repealing the patriot act, repealing or amending HB2640 (the disarmament act), restoring constitutional rights. (Please see ISSUES in Bio)

4. Such a thing as a 'good' earmark?
Yes. An earmark that can bring help or employement to OUR district.
ie. as in one that brings federal help with commuter rail to our district.
It might be nice if Congress were given the right to 'Line Item Veto' earmarks

5. The best remedy for raising fuel prices ??
The best remedy for raising ? fuel prices is to do nothing. Is that what was meant... or was it... The best remedy to lower fuel prices is to: Break OPEC, declare it a monopoly, Drill and pump our own oil, possibly a 2nd pipeline in Alaska, go nuclear, go electric, go alternative forms of energy.
(note: theres a story going round that a guy inland from Sarasota was digging in his backyard and struck oil...and is now going to put in some drilling rigs...any truth to this story...if you find out, please let me know)

6. Is Congress doing a 'constitutional' job? What would you do?
Not. Patriot act is 1600 pages long and it was approved faster then it could be read. repeal patriot act, repeal HB2640 ( the disarmament act), Restore all constitutional rights to our citizens, ie. wiretap, computer spyware, reading habit tracking, internet tracking, etc.

7. Three issues that you fault your opponent for?

*The "PUERTO RICAN" Issue,

*For awards and medals:
Not for giving them out, and getting them to, justly deserving veterans;
but for honoring and listing with the living, just for publicity purposes, veterans who have been deceased for months and not doing it properly,
ie. post-humorously. Not that 'Clarence Bailey' (a personal friend) didn't deserve one, but for bringing out, and padding, these long lists right before election times. It makes me wonder how many more dead are on the lists...I would have never known this ...if he hadn't been a friend.

*For not raising her hand or voice and requesting a recorded vote on HB 2640 ( the disarmament act). All it would have taken is her one input and we would formally know where our representatives stood on this impotant issue. As it stands now there is NO record to how our Rep's voted. Her 'reluctantly ' (as she puts it) Rubber Stamping.

8. Can we stop Orlando's growth...growth that may take away our 'Nature Coast' descriptive title? (an Orlando question)
I don't know that we can. Orlando's growth and sprawl has now made the jump over the mountain from Clermont into Groveland and is still growing. It's hard to envision being able to deny people the right to use one's own property. Possibly the Withalacochee State Forest will end up being the barrier that will contain it. Thank goodness for that being in place

9. Raise taxes or cut services?
I do not support raising taxes OR cutting services and support other options(see question #10 answer). The amount of money being spent on the 'wars' are atrocious, and could be better spent somewhere else. Should we be forced to choose, law enforcement or play grounds; I don't want to cut either...but if I had no choice...we'd have to find somewhere else to play.

10. Fair Tax?
I do not support the fair tax ...because it is not fair.
I would support an IMPORT TAX. This is how the gov't used to be funded.
That is to say a tax on all goods being imported INTO the country. It could do away with the income tax, level the playing field on cheap prices from overseas producing nations, keeping jobs AND industries here in the United States.

Subject :
WERDER 4 US ~ CONGRESS/ see *ISSUES below


"The Stump" ~My Intro~

~ Ladies and Gentlemen, ~reporters, ~ fellow readers:
My name is H."David" Werder (pronounced WORD-er), a qualified candidate for U.S. Congress, district 5. I am once again a genuinely, bona-fide, on the ballot, candidate for a seat in the House of Representatives, and I got on the ballot, by the petition method, by collecting some 7,228 signatures myself in lieu of paying a filing fee of almost $10,000 which I could not afford, for I am not a rich man. I also collected about 2,000 signatures for other candidates including my own opponents in the upcoming elections, for both Democratic and Republican candidates. I believe everyone has a right to get on the ballot if they so desire, without having to pay exorbitant fees. After all, I plan on beating everyone in my race fair and square and without having to redraw district lines to do so. (Which was done so in the past to win.)
This is my fourth time running for this position. (two times as a write-in candidate, primarily done to get a little name recognition going and to get and gain a little exposure in the district) and once as an 'on the ballot' candidate in which I failed to get past the primary. I did, however, garner 12.3% of the vote and I did it WITHOUT SPENDING A SINGLE CENT. When folks ask where I live, I tell them I live on Powell Rd. in Hernando County. I don't give an address because I don't need to (wouldn't help for mailing purposes either) because there's no mail service there. I receive my mail at my moms' in the next county. I tell them, I live out on Powell Rd...where the 'outhouse' and the little church are... where the ducks and the geese are... and the chickens running loose! And usually I hear, "Oh! That's your place!!" Most locals know it. I'm on what has become a pretty major backdoor into Spring Hill in just a few years. When the traffic is really running...it has taken me as long as eight minutes to get out of my driveway. Occasionally I hear someone say they don't know where I live and I tell them...Someday you'll be driving along and you'll see an outhouse.. that's where I live...try not to run over my chickens.
*(For story on the sign on outhouse look somewhere in the rest of this blogspot)
In all my long years I've lived here, I haven't lost a single chicken due to the road. What I have lost though, is three elections as a candidate...and in all of those elections I've ALWAYS make the same promise that I make now that I'm on the ballot again, and that is;

....................*My Promise:

I will give up 1/2 of my salary to help pay for prescription drugs for needy seniors and indigent citizens and veterans in the district.
I feel $84,000 take-home pay is more than enough. The job currently pays over $168,000 plus.

...................* My claim to fame:

If you've been around these parts long enough...you might know me..."I'm almost famous." Back in the'80's, in my youth, I'm the guy that sat atop the flag-pole in Clearwater for a
world-record (439days,11hours,6min.) as a political protest over the price of gasoline.

I felt ninety-nine cents a gallon was to much at the time. And yes, I am more then willing to admit when I've made a mistake about how much is to much for a gallon of gas. I also thought $2.86 a year ago was to much. In fact, gas was only $2.38 a gallon when President Bush was elected, so I'm told.

I will honestly represent you, the constituent, and not HMO's, Pharmaceutical concerns, and Insurance companies.

My hat is finally in the ring for the win. I hope you will remember me the next time you fill-up and the next time you vote.

..........................................................................................................................................................................

It shames me to tell you I am not a rich man. I can not afford to spend $972,000 to win an election. Last time round the cheapest winner spent over $800,000, the most expensive over $3 million. It's not cheap, or easy, to try and run. That's why I also helped collect about 2,000 petition signatures for others running in upcoming elections, who also couldn't afford it, both democratic and republican candidates, including my opponents in the primary.

And like all the challengers to the incumbent I face;
I believe in a revived economy,
a balanced budget,
restoring respect for the United States around the world,
ending the assaults...on medicare, medicaid and social security,
solving America's health care crisis, once and for all.

The current administration is blowing smoke with their
'War on Terrorism', (it's another never-ending war, like the war on drugs),
Immigration,(we already have laws on the books), and
gay marriage, (of the thousands upon thousands of people I've spoken with to get on the ballot, maybe? 10 being openly gay; not a single one of them was concerned with it).
What they were concerned with, is what all the rest of the constituents were concerned with: and that is COST !
The cost of Home-owners insurance.
The cost of Gasoline.
The cost of Prescription drugs.
The cost of Healthcare.
The cost of Education.
The cost of Taxes and the War.

What they want to discuss:
the economy,
energy,
healthcare,
remaining safe and
ending the war.

When it comes to the incumbent, I think we can do better. The constituents deserve it.
We need someone who will really represent US, the people, not big business and lobbyists.
We need someone who has NOT been a 'reluctantly' voting 'rubber stamp'.


..................................................................................................................................................................................................

If you were to choose an issue you'd like to be paying your legislators to go b---s to the wall for; chances are it isn't gay marriage. These are some of the issues and general topics that may, or may not, come up in the next congressional session.
It by no means infers an endorsement and neither a pro nor con should be deduced.
Maybe an issue of yours is here. If not, let me know at Werder4UScongress@gmail.com so it can be included.

.............YOUR ISSUE ? ~

Issues are not trivial and remain important to the constituents. Especially those constituents for whom the issue affects!

*I personally have a penchant regarding the price of gas, attested to by my world-record sitting atop a flag-pole, done as a political protest over the price of gasoline.
However, my primary fight will be for healthcare for all.

"BE BRAVE......VOTE DAVE"
.......................................WERDER
.............................................for US ~ Congress

God Bless America
............................................................................................................................................................................

I will die a democrat...
I am a democrat this time...
I was a democrat the time before...
The time before that I was a democrat.
The year preceding that, I switched parties some twenty some odd times, depending on who said what.
They make me sign a loyalty oath now, swearing I will not change parties for a specified period of time.
In that one year I was also in the green party, and attended veterans party meetings also.
I was born a democrat... One, who wishes to represent everyone.

I do not believe they should have moved the primary date forward causing all the problems with the Fla primary.
So much in fact that I spent way to much time learning lawyer-ing stuff I did not want to know in the last half year. And not enough collecting petition signatures to get on the ballot ... and I almost didn't make it because of it.
I was in federal court in Tallahassee in Jan.
following up on the original lawsuit filed by Victor Diamato vs Fla Dem party & Nat Dem party to get primary date moved back (35 pages) (Show Cause)
then Sen Nelson & Cong. Hastings (535 pages) (citing disenfranchisement not civil)
.......culminating with 'Jon Ausmans'' suit in Tallahassee (Restraining Order)
naming governor. republicans and
finally the sec. of state Kirk Browning who's now the head of the div. of elections in that position .
It was a restraining order in the last case and it failed , judge cited early voting had already started to take place.....also told us,
IF we had started out in the beginning with the division of elections instead of working our way up thru the parties etc...that he would have done it.
Well you as a Fla. voter should know where we as voters stand on that now.
Another fine mess we've gotten ourselves into.

With regards to where I stand on issues...shouldn't matter.
WHERE YOU STAND ON THEM SHOULD.I am running to represent ALL in the 5th congressional district.
The only promise I make is in regards to my salary and Rx drugs.
Its the ONLY thing I have any control over at this time.
I don't believe the fruits of my labor should be driven by my own agenda.

These are a few of MY pet subjects...
doing away with the electoral college (every vote counts)
term limits on sup. ct. judges ? (citizen input) should we keep (as in Fla)
4 day workweek
drilling in the gulf ONLY if every Fla citizen gets a dividend check (as Alaska)
no income tax, back to import tax as in beginning of USAthe fed. reserve. (as of today, Canadian money, was more valuable)
"splash & flash" subsidies ~ look it up, involves 1galBio for 99gal diesel and calling it green and shipping it Overseas to guess where?
the war irak
iran, pakistan
afghanistan
HB 2640 also known as "the disarmament act"
health care for all
redistricting issues
homeowners ins.
impact fees
putting the library of congress on the internet
30% plus interest on credit cards
a moonbase first not mars
mars
motorcyclists rights
all students books available for/in laptops
Rx costs
we've started to see tons of foreclosures, bankrupcies will be next
the cost of petroleum
the cost of diesel fuel relative to gas
...and I'm sure I have plenty more
as I am sure you do to...

Well those are just some of the things that interest me...
and that won't mean a hill of beens IF none of them ever get to the floor and can even be addressed
where are you on...won't matter if it doesn't get brought to the floor and to do that one has to get it to commttee etc
alot of what will get looked at is already in the works.
and as a freshman I will have to learn the ropes and hope that I get appointed to the right committees.

So that brings us back to me representing YOU.
...anything that you want addressed or think I should be made aware of...
please feel free to let me know about it...and on that note also, IF I do get elected, and there is anything that I can personally do for you in my position as your representative...
Do not think twice about contacting me.

gotta go...
...I'm trying? to raise a million dollars.
...5 dollars at a time...@: WERDER c/o 18419 Whitacre Circle, Hudson, FL 34667


Sincerely,

....................H. David "the flagpole sitter" Werder
for US ~ Congress

PS~It has been said:
*In the US of A there are approximately 4,600,000 million laws on the books....
and we've yet to improve on the first 10, from 2,000+ years ago.

..........................................................................................................................................................................
Well, I hope all this I got through to this blogspot.

Thanks for taking a look........ and finally ....

...."Are you by any chance a registered voter?..........(in my district?)"....

District includes: ALL of Hernando, Citrus, and Sumter counties, and parts of Pasco, Polk, Lake, Marion, and Levy.
