John Russell, 2006 and 2008 Democratic nominee for Florida's 5th Congressional District stops in to address the New Port Richey Tea Party sponsored by area Conservatives and Republicans. A crowd estimated at close to 200 people was in attendance.

John addresses the crowd giving them some eye opening insights into his experience as a candidate and how the major party structure of American politics is fatally flawed. Americans are saddled with a two party system that is racked with corruption relatively legal though it may be. John hopes that his experience can help his fellow citizens to understand and address the primary reasons WHY our nation is in such disrepair.

John discusses a prime example in his interactions with a political consultant from Washington DC in 2006 who was asking John to trade his integrity for campaign contributions in return for "working with" the pharmaceutical industry. John would have been then a traitor to his advocacy for a national single payer health care plan.

John as we all know turned down this offer.

An example of just HOW our system works FOR Corporate America and NOT for average Americans!

John's message is very well received! :think: :)

1. I don't think that is the message they had come to hear.
They came to hear that Obama was a communist and the rethugs were fighting him.
But he may have planted in there mind doubt and make them wonder if they had been duped.

5. The media in Florida lies to trash Progressive Candidates
From what I gather the so-called liberal "St. Pete Times" perpetrated a lie that John Russell touched the Congresswoman's husband at a live forum of 300+ people. It was a complete fabrication that they used to create a persona of "bad temper."

In America...if you tell a lie enough in the media, it sticks.
