John Kerry Puts Financial Interests Above Taxpayers

October 20th, 2008

My campaign for U.S. senate is building momentum, as more and more Massachusetts residents learn of John Kerry’s role in aiding and abetting the biggest financial meltdown since the Great Depression. John Kerry is the richest member of Congress, but that didn’t stop him from taking more than $19 million in campaign contributions from the financial services and insurance industries during his 24 years in Washington. Nor did it prevent him from intervening time and again on behalf of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG and other beneficiaries of Washington’s multibillion dollar band aid.

From the $111,000 he took from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to the $2 million in family AIG stock holdings, John Kerry’s financial disclosure form reads like a who’s who of disgraced financial institutions. Yet while Massachusetts residents watch helplessly as their retirement savings evaporate, Sen. Cash and Kerry has been AWOL and derelict in his duty and is now just traipsing around the country campaigning for a spot in Barack Obama’s cabinet.

The people of Massachusetts deserve better. Drawing upon my experience as a businessman and former FBI and CIA agent, I’ll dedicate myself to an aggressive investigation and punishment for those who broke the law, to strengthening government oversight of the bailout, to ensuring that corporate CEOs are required to pay back millions in salaries and bonuses if they expect the taxpayer to lend a hand to fix their excesses and mistakes. I’ll fight to reform the 13 alphabet agencies charged with implementing the bailout to ensure greater fiscal accountability. And I’ll push legislation to prevent congressmen like John Kerry from voting on matters in which they have a clear financial interest.
