Vote for Dr. Michael Babula in the 2008 election for Congress

Many people are still deciding and unsure of whom they are going to vote for in the 2008 election for Congress. I was also unsure of this until I heard Dr. Michael Babula’s speech for Congress at Loyola College in Maryland. I am writing this blog to inform people about the Dr. Michael Babula campaign for Congress and to discuss his campaign’s issues.

Dr. Michael Babula has been teaching economics for five years and is currently my professor at Loyola College in Maryland. With his great experience and understanding in the field of economics he states that a “perfect storm is brewing and that it could lead to the economic collapse of the United States”. As a result, in hoping to change the course of the declining economy the U.S. is currently facing, his campaign discusses the current issues that he believes are harming the economy and he uses a democratic approach in solving the issues.

One issue that Dr. Michael Babula discusses is the war in Iraq. “Currently, the Iraq war has cost the lives of 4000 service members, severely injured more than 28,000 service members, and if it continues, will cost more than $1 trillion.” With this significant harm to the economy as well as the society, if elected, Dr. Michael Babula will call for the immediate withdrawal of American forces from Iraq and return to the American soil. He believes that “the United States needs to stop financing military equipment for the Saudi Arabian regime, and instead, shift financial resources toward pro-democracy forces within these nations.” In the long run, promoting democracy will lead to free enterprise and an end to warfare worldwide. Dr. Michael Babula approach to solving the war in Iraq was influenced by Pope John Paul II who stated, “When war, as in these days in Iraq, threatens the fate of humanity, it is ever more urgent to proclaim, with a strong and decisive voice, that only peace is the road to follow to construct a more just and united society.”

The Post-ABC wanted to see what Americans thought of the Iraq war and found that “53 percent of Americans favored setting a deadline for troop withdrawals. Among those who favored a deadline, 24 percent said they would like to see U.S. forces out within six months and 21 percent called for the withdrawals to be completed within a year.”

The Iraq war has caused an economic crisis in the United States and is just one of the issues that Dr. Michael Babula discusses in his campaign to get the U.S economy back on track. I strongly encourage those who are unsure as to whom to vote for in the upcoming election for Congress that they visit the Babula campaign website http://www.babula2008.com/ and invest some time into researching the topics that he discusses. Dr. Michael Babula is “racing to become the Democratic Party’s nominee for congress in Maryland’s fourth congressional district”, and hoping to improve the U.S. economy. The U.S. economy is heading towards a great depression which will lead to the unemployment of many U.S. citizens. Would you want this to be you? Unlike the other candidates for congress in the 2008 election, Dr. Michael Babula campaign concentrates on economic issues.

Donna Edwards and Albert Wynn are hypocrites. Donna Edwards served as head of the Arca Foundation. According to CQ Politics, ““Arca Foundation, where Edwards is executive director, holds $1.8 million in investments in multi-national oil and gas companies including almost $1 million in investments in Exxon-Mobil and Halliburton.” Companies such as these were at the forefront in America’s push for war. Albert Wynn voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq. It is apparent that Dr. Michael Babula is the only reliable choice left in this race.

I believe that with Babula’s strong interest in changing the U.S. economy, and his great knowledge in economics he will be the congressmen to make our economy flourish. With a plan to solve many of the issues that are harming our country, along with a plan to stop our failing economy, our country is sure to succeed in the near future. Vote for Dr. Michael Babula in the 2008 election for Congress.
