Joe Bellis for United States Senate from Kansas

Promises continue to be bantered about by both parties as they pander to the electorate. They promise everything except the kitchen sink and when elected forget the promises was ever made. At the same time they take money from every special interset group hey can find. Both major political parties should be equated to orgainzed crime.

The democrats cheat, corrupt, deceive, destroy, lie and steal. But the GOP is no better. watch out if the lips are moving. Now they want to destroy your healthcare and raise your taxes. Both parties are responsible for this impending disaster.

The time has come to recover our civil rights. The time has come to end governmental intrusion into our private lives and let us live as free people with a government fully constrained by the Constitution.

The time for fence sitting is past. You are either in favor of minimal government and maximum personal freedom, or not. You are either ready to stop giving away half of your earnings, or not. You are either ready to stand up and be counted, or not. The time to vote for your liberty is now. It is time to vote your wallet.

Kansas voters have the opportunity to show our nation that politics as usual will not be tolerated anymore.

Kansas voters can be first in the nation to elect a non-major party obiligated United States Senator.

The candidate to vote for in Kansas is Joe Bellis. I am owned by no one and only answer to the citizens of Kansas.

I give you a solemn oath:

To obey and defend the United States Constitution,
to work tirelessly to undo the damage done by other politicians,
to work tirelessly to prevent more damage by other politicians,
to always vote against socialism,
and not accept campaign contributions from PACs or non-individuals.

and if elected, I will:

Vote against all spending increases.
Vote against all taxes increases.
Vote against all bills that violate the Constitution.
Vote against all bills that increase the size or influence of government.
Vote against all bills that weaken the sovereignty of the United States.
Vote against all bills that would require any compromise of principles.
Vote for all bills that protect the rights of individuals and do violate one the above principles.
Because the U.S. Constitution Enumerated Powers (this explicitly enumerates all the power the Federal Government should have - period!)

Article 1, Section 8. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

I encourage you, the voter, to print this page and put it in a safe place. This is my contract with you. I can make this contract with you because, unlike Republicans and Democrats, I am a man of my word. I am a man of principle.

Please feel free to send this to my opponents and challenge them to agree to the same.
