We attended Lou Dobb’s lecture at the Sarasota Reading Festival, Saturday, November 3rd. There was a huge impressive crowd of people, the vast majority of whom were in their mid 40’s and older. They poured in and filled up every seat of the massive congregation hall at the United Methodist Church on Pineapple Street downtown. Lou Dobbs spoke in a thoughtfully paced manner about the issues that were of concern to him, those issues he speaks of on TV and in his new book, Independents Day, Awakening the American Spirit.
He said:
1- The two party system is like “a bird with two wings” governed by corporate America. It is important to be non-partisan, or “independent”. He said that there are no major candidates that talk about the Constitution. He said that there is no one credible candidate on the Democratic side, and he let people know that he doesn’t like Hillary Clinton. He had prefaced his entire talk saying that he was not going to speak with emphasis on any one candidate.
2- He wants us out of the war in Iraq, and he went into the totals on the numbers of dead and wounded. He has visited with the wounded and is filled with grief over it.
3- The illegal immigration issue and closing our borders to illegal aliens is extremely important and he emphasized that he believes deeply in the equality of peoples of all races.
4-Education of our children is the key issue facing our country. One half of all children today drop out of school. He also said that everyone should participate in changing this country by working on a local level in whatever way they can.
When he finished speaking and taking questions we all filed out and Art and I stood in the book signing line. Art handed him a copy of the Complaint of the new National Clean Elections Lawsuit that we had especially bound for him. Art told him that he knew he would be interested in reading it. He accepted it. Then I said to him “ I hope sometime you will take a STAND, and tell people that there IS a candidate who speaks about the Constitution!” He looked up at me and I showed him my big button with the classic portrait of Ron Paul’s face. He looked at it for a second, looked down, and in a soft voice said, “yes” and that was it.
We are encouraging everyone to please e-mail Lou Dobbs NOW telling him to read the Complaint, support the N-CEL lawsuit (which is a non-partisan issue affecting all Americans) and invite the creators of this historic lawsuit onto his TV program to discuss this most important landmark case involving all 50 states.

Yesterday, November 3rd at the Sarasota Book Fair, Art Groveman, lead Plaintiff for the State of Florida, personally gave you a copy of the Complaint of the National Clean Election Lawsuit (NCEL). This is a historic landmark lawsuit has been expanded to include all 50 states. I would like to encourage you to read the Complaint and become a friend and supporter of NCEL. The most effective way for you to support the lawsuit would be to feature interviews with the creators of the lawsuit on your show. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING NCEL FEATURED ON YOUR SHOW.
