Mo has my full support. Experience does count and longtime community connections are very important! I have someone he needs to talk to…

Expect RIF’s on contractors supporting Missile Defense locally. Could be between 300-500 depending upon whether H/W, flight tests, or employees are shaved. Ares/Constellation may absorb some of the loss. BRAC is too slow and the government hiring process is like molasses in winter…expect Huntspatch to take a loss while the rest of the country might be heading up. Advise: Be flexible about job opportunities. You might be working for Obama the way the Fed’s are hiring. Ironic – the typical Flashpoint blogger being hired by Obama:-)

It may have not have mattered whether we had a Republican congressman/woman. Elections have consequences. Expect the local economic impact to be similar to when Clinton cut National Missile Defense and the Adv Solid Rocket Booster program back in ‘93-’94. Obama plus Dem Congress plus Gates = loss of HSV Federal dollars. Griffith has had tremendous support from aerospace/DOD companies while trying to salvage the local federal dollars. These same firms gave money to both Parker and Griffith…hedging their bets so to speak:-)

Thanks for the constructive comments. I fly tomorrow to D.C. to meet with the National Republican Congressional Committee, various congressmen, and various conservative political groups.

If I receive the expected encouragement from the NRCC and the others I am meeting with in Washington, appropriate Federal Election Commission paperwork will be filed before I address three Tea Parties on Friday and Saturday (July 3-4).

Oh, and a short message to “Dan T”. Please continue to emphasize to everyone you meet that I will do everything I can legally do as a public official to fight the illegal alien epidemic.

I respectfully disagree that elected officials should continue to look the other way as American citizens and taxpayers are gouged by illegal aliens who consume costly education, health care, aid to families with dependent children (”anchor babies”) and every other federal wealth transfer program they can tap into.

As a County Commissioner, I’d much rather see $1+ million in tax dollars a year spent on government services and roads for Madison County citizens rather than continuing to spend that $1+ million each year to house the roughly 60+ illegal aliens a day who are in the Madison County jail because of crimes they have committed against American citizens.

In any event, if America had unlimited funds, that would be one thing. But America does not have unlimited funds. Tax dollars used to “lure” illegal aliens to America could be much better spent on national defense, NASA, roads and any number of other programs that better serve American citizens.

When roughly 46 cents of every budgeted federal dollar is borrowed money, America must face the economic fact that largesse for everyone is impossible . . . and appropriate priorities must be set and spending habits altered accordingly . . . before America’s economy is devastated by the havoc wrought when the day comes that there is no more money to borrow, thus forcing America to suddenly have to cancel 46% of all federal spending . . . all at once.

That scenario is an inevitable nightmare unless leaders with backbone are elected to serve in Washington.

No offense to “Mr. T”, but subsidizing illegal aliens is at the very bottom of my priority list.

Sincerely,

Mo Brooks
Madison County Commissioner
