Curtis Announces His “Energy for America” Plan

May 15th, 2010 by Webmaster

Coleman: “To rescue the U.S. from its terminal dependency on external energy sources, we must develop every available source of American energy.”

(NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR – 15 MAY 2010) Conservative Republican U.S. Senate candidate Curtis Coleman released his “Energy for America” proposals today as part of his “Restoring the American Dream” policy proposals. “To rescue the U.S. from its terminal dependency on external energy sources, we must develop every available source of American energy,” Coleman said. “We must learn everything we can from the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, but then we must press resolutely forward to energy independence.”

Coleman’s proposals include:

  • • The development of nuclear-generated energy.
    • Drilling for oil both off shore and inland, including ANWR.
    • The development of a natural gas retail distribution infrastructure that will allow trucks, buses and cars to utilize natural gas.
    • The liquefaction of coal to crude oil.
    • Dedicated energy crops, such as switch grass, for the production of transportation fuel.
    • Development of wind and solar energy as supplemental to other energy sources.
    • Opposition to cap and trade.
    • Reduction of the EPA’s authority.

Coleman formed an Economic Advisory Council in February and said that the council “would develop real-world solutions for creating an environment in America in which small businesses can once again prosper and create new and desirable jobs.” “We’ll be releasing other policy proposals developed by the Council over the next few days,” Coleman said.

Members of the Council include:

• Dan Hebert (Fayetteville) former CEO of Pace Industries
• Richard Wagnon (Texarkana) residential and commercial development, medical spas, rail car storage, biotech research, oil and gas exploration, and nursing home development.
• John Lessel (Little Rock) Attorney at Law whose practice areas include taxation, estate planning, business law, corporate law

Curtis Announces His Regulatory Reform Plan

May 4th, 2010 by Webmaster

Coleman: “The escalating cost of regulatory compliance is smothering and destroying small businesses in America.”

(NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR – 04 MAY 2010) Conservative Republican U.S. Senate candidate Curtis Coleman released his regulatory reform proposals today as part of his “Restoring the American Dream” policy proposals. “The escalating cost of regulatory compliance is smothering and destroying small businesses in America, making it almost impossible for American businesses to successfully and profitably compete in a global marketplace,” Coleman said. “If small business – the job creation engine of our economy – is going to once again grow, prosper and create jobs for hardworking Americans, significant regulatory reforms are required.”

Coleman’s proposals include:
• Raising the federal regulations compliancy floor to companies with 500 or more employees
• Elimination of overlapping agencies and jurisdictions
• A limitation on the number of new restrictive regulations that any given agency may create in any given period
• Implementation of an effective protocol for the federal government to evaluate the impact of proposed regulations on small businesses and a vigorous analysis of alternatives
• Congress must discontinue its abdication of the legislative process and the improper delegation of its legislative function to the executive branch
The complete text of Coleman’s tax reform plan is available at http://www.curtiscoleman.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Regulatory-Reform.pdf

Coleman formed an Economic Advisory Council in February and said that the council “would develop real-world solutions for creating an environment in America in which small businesses can once again prosper and create new and desirable jobs.” “We’ll be releasing other policy proposals developed by the Council over the next few days,” Coleman said.

Rasmussen Reports Curtis Increasing Lead Over Blanche Lincoln

April 29th, 2010 by Webmaster

An April 28, 2010 Rasmussen Reports poll shows conservative Republican U.S. Senate candidate Curtis Coleman increasing his lead over incumbent Senator Blanche Lincoln from 12 points on April 1 to 20 points, 52% to 32%.  The Report also shows Curtis, who has never run for or held public office, now leading Arkansas Lt. Governor by 6 points, 43% to 37%.  “We have too many people making the rules who’ve never played in the game,” Curtis said.  “Arkansans clearly agree that we need to put small businessmen and businesswomen in the House and Senate; people who’ve had to make a payroll, who’ve provided health insurance for their employees, and who understand the implications and impact of the regulations and legislation they’re creating.”

Curtis is cofounder and former President and CEO of Arkansas-based Safe Foods Corporation.

The Arkansas primary is May 18.  Early voting begins on Monday, May 3.

The view from Russia: American capitalism gone with a whimper

April 22nd, 2010 by Webmaster

By Stanislav Mishin

Source: Pravda.Ru First published: 27.04.2009  (According to Wikipedia, Pravda (Russian: Правда, “Truth”) was a leading newspaper of the Soviet Union and an official organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party between 1912 and 1991. After the paper was closed down in 1991 by decree of then-President Boris Yeltsin, many of the staff founded a new paper with the same name, which is now a tabloid-style Russian news source. There is an unaffiliated Internet-based newspaper, Pravda Online (www.Pravda.ru) run by former Pravda newspaper employees.)

“It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent [sic] into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

“True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.

“Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

 “First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then [sic] the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their “right” to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our “democracy”. Pride blind the foolish.

 “Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different “branches and denominations” were for the most part little more then [sic] Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then [sic] happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the “winning” side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the “winning” side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.

 “The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America’s short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then [sic] another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.

 “These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then [sic] ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?

 “These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper to their masters.

 “Then came Barack Obama’s command that GM’s (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of “pure” free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.

 “So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a “bold” move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK’s Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our “wise” Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.

 “Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper…but a “freeman” whimper.

 “So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set “fair” maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.

 “The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.

 “The proud American will go down into his slavery without a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.”
