Back on May 17, The modern York Times began a feeding frenzy from the mainstream media using a front-page article that purported to spell it out my political activities. Since the first brouhaha has died down a lttle bit, I thought this is a great time to create the record straight.
Anyone who knows me will advise you that I've never created a key to my deep conviction that country craves to alter its fiscal course if we're to preserve potential for our children and grandchildren. This starts off with ensuring that we've got a President in the White House that is truly committed to sound fiscal policy.
Just as one entrepreneur, I have always advocated the importance of putting your dollars where the mouth is.Along with this spirit, We have been open about my intention to exercise my right to free speech by putting my personal money behind a campaign to elect political leaders this November together with a President who will be committed to getting our fiscal ship back on the right course.
The first task I took in this regard would have been to interview a number of political consultants who may help the viewers I founded, the Ending Spending Action Fund, mount this type of campaign. One of them consultants was an advertising person called Fred Davis. I first met Mr. Davis in January at his office in L . a ., where he demonstrated some types of his work from previous campaigns. I had another ending up in him in Nyc weeks later, after which Specialists him to construct an offer for any campaign. Mr. Davis presented his proposal with a third meeting in Chicago on Thursday, May 10. I wasn't with this meeting and only received a replica with the proposal the next Saturday afternoon. Someone said it that Sunday afternoon and returned it to my son Peter, telling him that my response was negative.
These Thursday, May 17, The brand new York Times published its article about Mr. Davis's proposal. It's entirely possible that The Times's reporters actually saw the proposal before I did.
Reading The changing times story, TV commentator Joe Scarborough referred to it as phony journalism and said the paper was shamelessly cheerleading for Democrats. Certainly, this content made a very misleading impression that ended in a great deal of misinformation circulating from the press as well as on the world wide web. Speculate the word goes, the dogs bark and also the caravan moves on. My plans are not suffering from some of this. I still want to do what I can this coming year to help you elect political leaders who share my commitment to economic responsibility.
If you ask me, it's not dependent on Republicans versus Democrats. It's dependent on good sense and good policy. Indeed, if The president would introduce balanced budget as well as a credible plan to lessen the national debt, I'd personally consider supporting his re-election. I enjoy America and its promise of opportunity. I need the identical opportunities I enjoyed to be shown to our children and grandchildren of Americans. Perform to take place unless we all make a change to make it happen. And that's exactly what I do.
