					<description><![CDATA[Tom Foster is a retired Special Forces Officer and a combat veteran of the war in El Salvador.  In Comments from a Tea Partier --- I guess if you are not a Communist, you might be a mild Fascist, Tom vents his anger with our current politicians and identifies critical issues that should be the cornerstone of the 2010 elections.  He makes a case for specific actions such as the repeal of the 16th Amendment and the passing of Fair Tax to bring prosperity to America.  He shows how American foreign policy should be re-focused, offers a criterion for vetting the candidates for November 2010, identifies specific cuts to the federal government, and speculates as to our future if we are not successful in restoring our Republic.  
America has taken on many of the characteristics of a fascist state, and Tom like all the other Tea Party members fear additional loss of our individual liberty if the American people do not take our nation away from the statists in 2010.  
He is married to a gal from South Georgia, and has a son and daughter whom are both married and three grandchildren.  Tom and his wife Deborah live in Columbus, Georgia with a Fair Tax sign boldly displayed in their front yard.  Tom is currently hiking the Appalachian Trail to enjoy the beauty of America and expects to finish in time to help us prevail in November, 2010.

De Oppresso Liber, Tom

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the dollar and the economy continue to deteriorate, Americans are facing a rapid increase in the loss of our individual rights.  The American Republic was created in an effort to form a government that respected the rights of the individual and has prospered for over 200 years.  Ever since the adoption of the Constitution, our Republic has been under attack from despots and tyrants, foreign and domestic who think they know best how to run America.  They have manipulated the economy by fiscal and monetary policy in a manner that has diminished the middle class and created a large class of dependants, while enriching their cronies.  The vast majority of the politicians at the federal level have lied to the American people as they have further strengthened their hold over our lives.  If the American citizen does not awaken to their responsibility to replace these arrogant politicians in the November 2nd, 2010 elections, the Republic and individual liberty will be lost.</p>
<p>America has always been the one place in the world one came to make a better life.  It still is as is evidenced by the ever-increasing number of illegal aliens crossing the border; however, once our fiat currency fails, and the national debt can no longer be serviced, a clamp-down on citizens will be necessary to maintain law and order.  The middle class will merge with the dependant class and a fascist oligarch will rule.</p>
<p>Replacing the congress and a third of the senate in November is much easier said than done.  Plus it does not help if you replace a statist with another statist.  Obviously we want to get rid of Nancy Pelosi, and we want to retain Ron Paul.  So how do we know if a candidate is appropriate?  We have to examine the candidate&#8217;s position on the issues and make a determination if he or she is honest. Do not kid yourself, character matters. Historically, 90% of the incumbents are re-elected.  This re-election statistic is evidence of the high degree of apathy in America.</p>
<p>We have to educate our fellow citizens and motivate them to want to restore the Republic.  We face incredible challenges because the main stream media and public education are propaganda organs of the statist.</p>
