Senator Rottnek has announced his intention to run for President.

[James Rottnek]

Senator Rottnek released the following statement:

"Friends, today I have sponsored a few pieces of legislation.

I have sponsored the No Racial Profiling Act. This bill will criminalize the use of racial profiling by any officials.

I have sponsored the Make College Affordable Act. This bill will create full tax refunds for every single penny spent of college. I believe this is a very important bill. We cannot allow for America's children to not afford college. It is too important.

I have sponsored the Preservation of Social Security Act. This bill does something I am sorry to do. It slows down the growth of benefits. However, it also does something vitally important. This bill will create stability of the system. It will preserve it indefinitely."

[James Rottnek]

Senator Rottnek released the following statement:

"Friends, I have cosponsored a few more pieces of legislation.

I have sponsored the Scouting for All Act. This Act will end the subsidies to the Boy Scouts of America. You see, on the one hand they claim that they are a private organization, and thus have the right to discriminate. On the other hand, they receive massive subsidies from the government, which makes them appear to be public. Therefore, this bill will make them choose between public or private, between discrimination and no discrimination.

I have sponsored the Social Security Beneficiary Tax Reduction Act. This bill will reduce the social security tax on those who receive social security. I believe that this is the only right thing to do. It is not right to have a double taxation.

I have sponsored the Tax Free Tips Act. This bill will end all federal taxation of tips. I do not think it is right to tax something that so many people live of off. As well, there is no way at all to even know whether or not someone actual is telling the government the real amount of tips they receive"

Senator Rottnek Released the following statement:

"Friends, I have sponsored a few more pieces of legislation.

I have sponsored the Firearm Safety Prevention Act. I am a big supporter of the right to bear arms. However, I believe we need to teach our young people how to be safe around guns. Teach them how to not accidentally fire a gun and kill themselves or someone else. I believe this bill will greatly cut down the accidental gun deaths in this country.

I have also sponsored a Vets Bill of Rights Resolution. This resolution guarantees our vets certain rights, and recognizes that rights not listed may very well still exist. This bill also promises that Congress will do its best to secure these rights. We must defend the rights of those who defended the rights of every American past, present, and future."

Senator Rottnek released the following written statement:

"Friends, I am glad to announce to you the progress of my campaign. So far, I have received, as a complete surprise, the support and endorsement of Senator David Ghandi. I want to thank the Senator, and I look forward to working with him closely over the next while.

I also have a surprise announcement that will be revealed shortly, it is the endorsement of another Senator.

Friends, we have also grown into a massive movement, garnering large support from Republicans in numerous states. We have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars just over the last few months. Altogether, we have raised several million dollars.

I would like to thank everyone for the support given to me thus far, and I would like to ask that you continue your support."

Senator Rottnek released the following statement:

"In a recent speech to female students and citiziens in Maine about gender equality, Senator Warder said the following:

""Ladies,

As of current, I am the only female candidate in the race for the Presidency. None of the other candidates have tried to provide gender equality rights, no. I have advocated for gender equality legislation in the workplace. Now women are becoming Directors and bosses in companies, I think that soon we will have our first female President, yes me. *Friendly laughter*

Right, to business. We are women and we must not allow ourselves to be bullied by the stressful man in the workplace, countless times I have seen the effects of a workplace fight or an argument. America needs to just calm down and treat each other equally. As I have said before if I am elected President, I will create a Department of Equality with a Secretary of Equalities at cabinet level position. I will work to introduce gender friendly legislation throughout the country.

Thank You""

That is a boldfaced lie! First of all, how is it promoting equality of sexes when she refuses to allow men to attend this speech? It seems to me to be reverse sexism. is that what we want in a president?

She also claims that no other candidate in the race has tried to provide for gender equality. That is simply ignorant, or a lie. I have never voted against equality. I believe equality of the sexes is vital for the progress of the nation.

She talks about how she is so good because she has gotten women to be directors of companies and bosses. In Rottnek Superstores, 49% of our stores have managers who are women, 39% have managers who are minorities, and 56% of stores have women assistant managers, with 45% of stores having minority assistant managers. We also have several women and minorities as executives on the board, people I appointed.

She says women must not be allowed to be bullied by the "stressful man". That to me is sexist. She is describing all men in a negative light. Clearly this women has no intention of ending sexual discrimination, but rather she plans on creating discrimination against men!

She also speaks of a department of Equality? How would she fund this? Why is it necessary for a whole department? There are many good causes in America. One of them is border guards. Should there be a Department of the Border Guards?

I encourage all of you to demand the media highlight this sexist comments made by the Senator."

[James Rottnek]

"Friends, I am happy to be making this announcement.

Senator Phil Strunk, a Senator of our state, is the new Republican Nominee to the Presidency.

I would just like to thank you for your support of his campaign and I ask that you continue to support him throughout the election."
