Jim Anderson is the only outsider in this race. Pompeo is bought and paid for by the corporate fascists and GOP political machine. Jim is a principled, liberty loving constitutionalist in the vein of Dr. Ron Paul. God bless him and on to victory August. Live free or die!

Jeff Turner, Spirit CEO, sold on 02/23/2010 another 14,331 shares of SPR stock at $18.15 each for over $2.6 million while laying off Wichita employees and putting others on a short week. Turner has sold over $25 million over the last 18 months. Not bad! This is leadership you can believe in.

I heard that some of the other candidates were miffed at this endorsement. The irony is that the aircraft execs endorsement didn’t help some of the candidates running in 2008.

Mike Pompeo and his wife Susan are good and smart people. Mr. Pompeo’s oath of “Duty, Honor, and Country” will be a tough sale with the aircraft elite supporting him. One reason for concern is that they are supporting Mr. Pompeo because they see in him as a candidate that they can persuade and control. It is time to tell these three aircraft millionaires “NO MAS”. Our taxpayers are sick and tired of providing you with property tax reductions, IRBs, and financial support while all three of you send our jobs overseas and out of our community. In addition, all three of you continue to receive millions in bonuses and stock options while you beg for more subsidies from Washington, Topeka, and Wichita. After you retire, must of you move-out of our community or live here only part-time while our children and grandchildren continue to pay the price of your excesses.
