Industry = Government

Press Release Summary = News Release: Richland, Missouri
Editorial Written 01/17/2006

Press Release Body = Not necessarily returning, but attempting to unload, dump and
distance themselves from lobbyist Jack Abramoff who pleaded guilty to corruption
charges and agreed to cooperate with a federal corruption investigation in
Washington. "Gee, I've been caught, I'll give it to charity and all will be cool?"
Does it take four or more years to realize you may have done something wrong, or,
just the need to get caught? Yes, the Grinch has definitely stolen the jovial and
festive "what about me" mentality of many in our nations capital this Christmas and
2006 New Year season. With signs it may get very, very foul and nasty before it gets
better.

I personally, find it unconscionable that for many who have made lucrative and
monetarily productive carriers off the backs of the taxpaying populace, respectively
far too long, and being aliened and supported by the "Good Old Boy" network, that
they were not cognizant of Abramoff's demeanor or his intentions. No, for many, they
have now been caught elbow deep with their hands in the preverbal cookie jar.
Self-indulgence, egocentricity and self-centeredness have at last caught up with
many, including several elected officials within Missouri and as a hole our federal
government seemingly is more corrupt now than ever before. Watch your television,
the damage control has begun. Hay.election times a coming, got to paint on a pretty
face and get those."I didn't know, I'm in awe" press statements in order.

We the People, are long over-due for a change; it's time for a "House" cleaning on
the Hill in Washington. The lungs of this great nation need a full fresh breath to
expel the stench of deceitfulness and corruption from our nostrils. We don't just
need a change; we need a "MORAL" transformation in the "Peoples House." What we
would not allow to transpire within our own homes, why o' why, would we accept with
total obscurity within our governing bodies, and compensate them for it? The monies
that are so freely being wasted, given away and stolen in Washington, are derived
from the blood, sweat and tears of this nation and states laboring citizens and
needs accounted for, every penny.

These elected individuals are employees in all aspect of the word for the People of
this Nation, not, the other way around. You should expect, no, you should demand,
honesty, dedication and trustworthiness of these state employees. Or, in my mind,
they should be fired. Its time to yank some time cards and hand out some pink slips.


I personally, do not have corporate supporters or political action committees
investing thousands if not millions of dollars toward my campaign. I would query
anyone who needs that type of finance for a public office and what their long-range
personal gain is, the Abramoff issue in retrospect. But, as a man who has had grease
under his fingernails, felt the salty sting of sweat in his eyes, and who has
suffered alone with physical disability and severe pain. I pledge to serve you with
dignity and honor and be a genuine and trustworthy voice in 'The House of The
People,' knowing and remembering the roots from which I came.

On behalf of a State and Nation worthy and deserving of more, I am announcing my
candidacy for the 2006 election to the United States House of Representatives for
the Fourth Congressional District of Missouri, my home. To represent the families,
future and values of the 4th district and ensure moral values and principles within
our government, yet again. I covet your prayers and support. May God bless this
State and Nation.

"When the government fears the people, there is liberty.
When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
-Thomas Jefferson

Sincerely and Respectfully
Rev. Lloyd D. Sanders, Sr.

2006 Republican Candidate For United States Congress, Fourth Congressional District
of Missouri
