The following is my platform for office. It was well received by the veterans at the USN, Armed Guard and Merchant Marine Organization in Crossville, TN Chapter. They are a wonderful group of veterans.

Please spread the word for me. The Lord will bless you for it.

June Griffin For God and Country

JUNE GRIFFIN REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR UNITED STATES SENATE

****** Facts 1. The people are not represented, being ruled over by an atheistic judicial oligarchy. My work for the Ten Commandments in Tennessee counties has proven this to be true. The majority of Tennessee is God-fearing, in spite of impressions to the contrary. I will represent this neglected majority.

2. There is a concerted and perpetual effort to further regulate our God-given right to bear arms as free citizens. I will put a stop to this, so help me, God. Any candidate who is represented by gun control interests is a foe of the American. What kind of woman would take away her husband's right to bear arms? What kind of man would do likewise to his wife?

3. The influx of foreigners is contrary to the intent of immigration as defined by our founders.

4. The robbery of the people by a systematic decimation of their rights to ownership and control of their goods and income has created a devious person who is forced to "get their money back" at any price.

5. The impotency of Congress to deal with the problems of the real people is evident by the reluctance of constituents to bother contacting their own representatives.

6. The treatment of our American veterans is deplorable. The abandonment of over 50,000 POW's is so horrible that it cannot be justified.

7. Campaign financing has created a fake industry that forbids the people from obtaining political office. Money doesn't win elections. Steve Forbes and Ross Perot proved this.

What I Will Do

1. I will vote "NO" on any bill which increases the size, cost, or power of government.

"We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of governments, far from it. We have staked the future upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God." James Madison

**********************

2. I will work to re-establish the Senate as a defender of the Rights of the States. I will work to re-establish the Senate's powers to correct wrongs committed by a runaway and lawless supreme Court. 3. I will work to uncover all measures and means which hinder our God-given right to bear arms, including all financial interests and their motives. 4. I will work to make all campaign contributions totally anonymous. 5. I will work to close the borders of the United States by all lawful means and rectify the hideous invasion by those who do not love God and the United States. 6. I will have a staff which is well versed in our American rights, as interpreted by the founding fathers and their judges, made up of people whose first interest is ownership and control of private businesses and property. The people need a real voice in Washington. 7. I will use my influence to strengthen the arms of those Congressmen and Senators who have been intimidated by unAmerican forces and embolden them to stand for the Declaration of Independence, the Ten Commandments and the Bill of Rights which was given to us as pillars of independence by the God of our Fathers. 8. I will stand by the United States Constitution, spirit and letter, as interpreted by the intents of liberty and unalienable rights. 9. I will expose, investigate and ostracize all elements and parties of The Foundations who have and are funding measures which undermine and destroy Americanism. 10. As a part of the "Back to God" movement, Americanism, showing the United States and its sovereignty over all other nations, rooted in righteousness and power, I will hold these elements paramount in all my actions, votes and ways, so help me, God.

I must admit...I agree with more of her platform than I disagree. I don't believe she has a prayer, but I think she has a great deal of potential for "stirring the pot". Heck, if 'Lamar!' turns out to be the Republican candidate, I might even cast a vote for June. In the end, I will be judged by G-d; not the Republican Party, and certainly not the "you'll elect Hillary if you do that" crowd here at FR. I will bring this to the attention of local talk radio tomorrow. Should be interesting.

I've only corresponded with June via email. But she seems very sincere and very focused on her issues. Especially getting the 10 Commandments posted. She is VERY pro 2nd amendment.

Don't let the article fool you she is savy about the CFR, Trilateral, NWO stuff.

What an inspiring read this Palm Sunday morning! I wish I lived in Tennessee so I could vote for her. This is the kind of activism we need nationwide to put these whiney ass, Godless,mindless, unamerican, socialist; liberal, revisionist malcontents back in the playpen where they belong. This country belongs to the people. The people made it great and it is the people who must reclaim it!

Trust me...it will be a cold day in the hot place when I allow the media to "fool me". I have already e-mailed several local radio stations to see if we can raise awareness of her upcoming campaign. 'Lamar!' is NOT my guy.

You know Gail, I think that this woman has a chance to be the next Senator from Tenessee. People are getting sick of the trash that manages to end up in political office these days and Tenessee is a very Christian State.

Your reply too represents my own views on the posted article. It is very refreshing and inspiring to see that someone would be willing to fight the good fight for her beliefs in God and Country. I too would vote for her if I lived in her state. I would remind the doubters that with God all things are possible.

Our prayers will be with this woman, Ms Griffin in her uphill endeavor.

GailA, I would hope that you would keep the rest of us posted on Ms. Griffins progress in her race. Maybe you could bookmark this thread and use it to ping us from time to time. I for one would appreciate it. Thanks again for the posting from a Texan.
