Airborne All the Way

For those who have fought for it,
Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know

De Oppresso Liber

The age of Paladins has yet to succumb

Semper Fi

No free education, health care, welfare, unemployment, Social Security, birthright citizenship - anchor babies, or amnesty, etc for illegal immigrants; Legal & controlled immigration has been the lifeblood of America; I know, my family is one of immigrants; Illegal Immigration is & will be the scourge & downfall of our Constitutional Republic & the United States of America. For real action now on illegal aliens, vote Mad Max for President 2008 & 2012.

A return to a Republic & Constitutional form of government as envisioned by our Founding Fathers will bring peace and prosperity to all American citizens & the world at large. This is a Republic, not a democracy ruled by a wealthy elite; No North, No South, No East, No West; One Great Nation Heaven & God blessed.

Consider the Fair Tax; Americans for Fair Taxation (FairTax.org); save Social Security.

If Mad Max Riekse is not on your state ballot for President in 2012, write in Mad Max Riekse under President & demand your votes be counted

We need to follow President/General George Washington's advice & stay out of other people's wars & politics; trade & have commerce with them was Washington's wise council. Hundreds of thousands of our fellow Americans should not have died in needless wars for the elite: Stop the Wars in Iraq & Afghanistan & no war with Iran.
lf we hope to run a serious Independent campaign for President, we need to start in 2007.
