A CONGRESS GONE MAD

Are we angry enough with the utter destruction that is happening from within? Does one wonder why Gallup reported that only 10% approve of the job Congress is doing—a historical low—and why the NY Times’ poll reports that less than 10% trust Congress? Yes, indeed, Americans are awakening from its deep sleep.

Insanity ran amuck again in the House with the rushed vote on CISPA now passed—early—in the House. Peruse HR 3523, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011.

Understand the dangerously intrusive unconstitutional path that we are headed down—with our Republican-majority in the House leading the path.

Let’s review the very short time line:

• In September, the debt-ceiling increase was passed, unconstitutionally allowing the president the opportunity to violate the Constitution and not have to go back to the Senate for a 2/3 majority in spending. OLSON VOTED IN FAVOR OF THIS.
• Only in December, the NDAA was passed—illegal search and seizure of us in our homes, the potential to be taken to an undisclosed location, denied an attorney and access to trial. OLSON VOTED IN FAVOR OF THIS LAW.
• This spring HR347 was passed—the denial of our freedom of speech at an event where the president or vice president was present or the potential of being arrested and imprisoned if one legally had a CHL and ventured within an area of a foreign dignitary while in our country and under Secret Service protection. OLSON VOTED IN FAVOR OF THIS LAW.
• Because of Obamacare, already happening on Medicare and Medicaid forms while being treated at a doctor’s office and in the hospital, the question is asked if one owns a gun. OLSON DIDN’T READ THE BILL IN FULL BEFORE VOTING ON OBAMACARE AND THOROUGHLY EDUCATING DISTRICT 22.
• The TSA is being expanded to do illegal and unauthorized searches on city transportation.
• Yesterday, HR3523, also known as CISPA, passed by the House, disregards the 4^th Amendment, allowing the government to decide with the data it collects if you are doing harm. HR3523 is a clear intent to destroy the freedoms of every one of us. OLSON VOTED IN FAVOR OF THIS BILL.

Imagine what will happen once the IRS forces us to file our tax returns on line and all of our data is out there. Just within the last four years, identity theft is up 630%.

These new encroachments on our constitution are not the government’s role. This is why the Patriot Act must be repealed. This is another indication that Homeland Security has far exceeded its boundary…and it’s only beginning.

Having been with Oracle Corporation for a decade, I understand why identity theft is up—something that Olson does not have the experience to address. Outsourcing is a serious issue. Companies are not purchasing the security platforms to keep their clients’ data safe. It will only be a very short time that a contract will be given to X software company to “partner with the government to keep all of us safe.” Follow the money…

My fellow Americans, it won’t matter if you’re a Republican, Democrat, Independent or any member of the other 50 parties in our country. We will all be grossly affected. The assault is on all of us. It is clear that Olson needs to go. A returning military person commented last week, “And he has ‘freedom’ on his yard signs? What an embarrassment from one military man to another!”

Olson lacks experience in the software field. Olson is not following the Constitution. Olson has violated his oath of office. Olson has admitted to not reading legislation he’s voting on. Olson failed the Heritage Action Survey. He is not the Conservative he has portrayed to be.

Does it really matter at this point that Olson is still unwilling to debate Carlson, further denying the constituents the right to vet both candidates? No, his record speaks for itself.

Your vote is simple on May 29^th (early voting May 14-25). Vote Olson out.

I promise, as I’ve done throughout running my small businesses that I will stand firm to our great Constitution. I will be the courageous, experienced business leader, articulate speaker and highly-educated leader we deserve. I will fight bitterly hard for our district. I will dig deep into the wasteful spending and try to turn this fiscal mess around. I will fight for term limits. I will fight for the right to life. I will lead. I promise you that.

Please vote for Barbara J. Carlson as our US Congressional

District 22 leader on May 29^th

and let’s restore leadership in our district.
