Only one person can fix America's problems!

Mr. Trump,
I sent the following to several 'small town' newspapers
here in NC, urging them to publish.
Want to share with you.
Regards,
Anthony Bruno


Let me begin by saying ever since Pat McCrory
was elected whenever I attended an event held by
members of the General Assembly I urged them
not to forget the eighty counties hardest hit by the
recession and are still hurting as every small town
paper know better than most.

Most attention goes to the twenty counties surrounding
Charlotte and Raleigh.

Having said this I urge you to publish the following
letter in support of Donald Trump's candidacy.

I submit....

NC has a history of being driven by policies that

benefit highly populated areas strongly influenced

by the editorial pages of our two largest newspapers.

So, it is up to the smaller communities to ensure
their voices are heard and this is where each small
town paper must lead the way.

This election is vital to our country's future. We

must decide whether we want next president to

treat our state as President Obama did or if we
will choose someone with lawful respect not
unlawful threats!

There is only one person who can assure us the
belligerence of the Obama Administration ends!

Its Donald Trump.

​Trump has been traveling the country, including
spending more time in NC than in any other state.
He understands the importance of winning here

as he does in other key states.

His crowds are indicative of the desires of the

people, the pain of the recession can still be

seen traveling around the states even as it

has disappeared in our two largest counties.

Anyone already persuaded Trump should not
be president give him a second 'look' Look
at the details of the solutions he offers from

lower taxes, energy, trade, job growth and

veterans.

Trump wants to take on problems politicians

only campaign on and only make excuses

when they do nothing.

Regards,

Anthony Bruno

What type of presidency can we expect...

It wouldn't be news to point out how differently Hillary Clinton
and Donald Trump would address problems facing our nation;
its been reported throughout their campaigns.

But it would to suggest how they would interact with the media
and the American people.

Undecided voters should consider what the media hasn't discussed,
how Clinton and Trump would communicate once elected.

Its shouldn't be hard as both have been in the public eye for
decades so we have a pattern to reference.

Donald Trump's life has been an open book by his own choosing.
He thrives on engaging with people, celebrities, business moguls,
world leaders and now politicians.

His personal life and business dealings are there for all to
see, on the public record, both successes and failures! If
there were "smoking guns", they would have already been fired.

By deciding to run for the presidency Trump took on fourteen
experienced politicians, a difficult task for anyone, no less
an "outsider".

As a master in 'branding' Trump used name recognition and
the most unorthodoxed approach to gain attention. He also
went a step further most candidates would not take, he made
himself available like no politician ever would, especially
in the 'gotcha journalism' world we are in.

Trump did not toss aside the political playbook, he rewrote
it!  He approached the media like a bull in a china shop, by
appearing everywhere to promote his campaign.

He was fearless, went on every network, no matter the obvious
bias Republicans are accustomed to seeing. He answered every
question. Not once do I recall him saying, "I don't recall"!

It worked, polls from the very beginning showed he would be
competitive even as tens of millions of dollars were spent
on ADs to defeat him.

The most comical comment made by his competitors was, "its not
fair Trump is getting 'free air' time". Even the media which
must of second guessed the wisdom of giving Trump the exposure
calculated the value, over $1 billion.

After dispatching his challengers and winning the Republican
nomination Trump did not rest, he continued to travel around
having rallies in multiple states, four or five times per week,
often two per day.

Nor did Trump have fund raisers. His focus was on bringing his
message to the electorate, campaigning on solutions!

This is what got Donald Trump this far and may get him elected.

Hillary Clinton is not Donald Trump. She has never exposed herself
to an audience or media not of her choosing. She would never do
what Trump did.

Clinton's appearances are controlled and orchestrated, a red flag
warning towards anyone who wants to serve the public.

Her approach is 'retail politics' with one caveat. Every event must
be tightly controlled.  There must be no chance the 'show' would go
off script. Clinton must be in control, even to the point of knowing
questions in advance whether they come from the media or 'random'
audience member at a town hall.

She prefers to stay out of the public unless there is an advantage.
Her primary 'opponent' Bernie Sanders was more a nuisance than a
serious competitor; Clinton knew from the very beginning she would
be the nominee.

Clinton was so confident most of her time was on fund raising even
though she already had more than she needed, an indication which
should be troubling that the public needs to understand about her.

She shows little interest connecting with voters, only donors!

The media has been tallying the number of days Clinton has gone
without a press conference, now about 300 days. This is a clear
indication of what to expect from "President Clinton".

Clinton has consistently refused to sit down for most interviews.
Even Fox News, the network with the largest audience has offered
her 'open invitation' to appear and has appeared three times in
the past decade!

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have clearly shown us what to
expect if elected. Trump will engage while Clinton will avoid.

Trump has demonstrated he enjoys people, the give and take, working
to fix problems and even answer difficult questions.

Donald Trump might be the most engaged and accessible president our
country has ever had since FDR introduced his 'fireside chats'!

I cannot be confident Hillary Clinton would offer the media or the
American people the access that Trump would. There is nothing in her
past to indicate she would do this.

If and when she is confronted by tough questions we already know
how Clinton will respond. She would do what she did when pressed
by debate moderators and at Congressional hearings, her answers
has already been scripted. "I don't recall"!

As president, Clinton will follow the pattern of President Obama
who attended 228 fund raiser during his 2012 reelection campaign.

She would travel the country and the world raising money for her party,
herself and the family foundation.

If connecting with our next president is important the choice is clear.

"American steel will send new skyscrapers soaring"

When was the last time we heard, "American steel will send new skyscrapers
soaring"? I doubt anyone can remember, perhaps we never heard it said.

Well, Donald Trump says this often at rallies, especially in states that
were major steel manufacturers and no longer are.

Trump is telling the American people he will bring back industries we have
been told would never return and has shown a "can do" attitude we have not
seen since Reagan.

He's not saying the words but he is reminding us "American Exceptionalism"
can return, and promises it will!

Using 1967 as a starting point, world steel production was 497 million metric
tons (MMT) with the US being the largest producer. Today world production
has tripled to  1600 MMT and our country has dropped to fourth.

In 1967 the United States' output was 114 million metric tons, Japan second
with 62 MMT and China was seventh with 14 MMT.

In 2015, China was the largest steel manufacturer, producing more than 50%
of world production with 803 MMT, up 700%, Japan remains second at 105 
MMT, up 40% while the United States is producing 79 MMT, down 25%!

We should be troubled when world wide demand for steel triples and
American steel production does not increase proportionately!

In fact, the United States is the only country of the top twenty produces
which produces less steel!

Yet despite the fall off in US production as recently as June, 2016 President
Obama said the following:

"The steel industry is producing as much steel in the United States as it ever
was.  It’s just (that) it needs one-tenth of the workers that it used to." 

Barack Obama June 29th, 2016

Trump should be applauded for not accepting 'defeat' as politicians regularly

do when varying economic factors convince them vital industries can no
longer thrive in the United States.

Hillary Clinton, still locked in the 70s!

One of the issues Hillary Clinton keeps claiming is a major problem in our
country is treatment of women.

On the campaign trail she never fails to remind audiences of the problems
women face.  She mentions pay inequality, sexual assault (with a straight
face), few career opportunities and limits on "choice".

As serious as such charges are Hillary produces no evidence they are true.

Nor does the media challenge these claims by asking her to show evidence.
This is not surprising as the media prefers to let a false claim harden in the
minds of the ill-informed until it become 'truth'.

To draw a comparison, the criticism of the Veterans Administration is well
documented as both Hillary and Trump point to them when offering their
plans to fix the problems.

However, the suggested 'discrimination' against women in careers and  pay
is not supported by either state or federal labor departments. Wouldn't we
have seen news reports of claims against employers raised  to the crisis
level as Hillary as suggesting?

We have not, and for good reason, the media may be complicit with much
of what Hillary says and does, but they cannot manufacture 'proof' unless
agencies create false claims against employers and institutions!

To believe Hillary Clinton is to say the "Women's Movement " of the 1970s
failed. It is to say the catchy phrase, "You've come a long way baby", is
meaningless as Hillary wants us to believe they haven't come far at all.

The evidence shows women are closer to being on par with men then at any
time in our history.

In fact, based on number of women in college they are ahead of men, more
women are graduating and beginning careers today than their parents and
grandparents might not have thought possible.

Hillary conveniently overlooks Sandra Day O'Connor, Madeline Albright,
Janet Reno, Condi Rice and now Lorretta Lynch, all "firsts" Democrats
always want to celebrate!

Hillary prefers to go "Back to HER Future", rather than celebrate successes
of women the past fifty years as we begin the Twenty-first century.

What must be told to the American people...NOW!

Mr. Trump,
I hope this reaches you.

You have a great message, but much of it is lost due to you continuing

to reinforce what your supporters already know, American governance
is not only broken, it is corrupted by 'two party collusion' with lobbyists
and donors!

I have watched most of your rallies on RSBN.TV, and even printed
transcripts of your speeches to digest your messages on solutions you
offer to numerous problems.

With less than a  month to ago...its time you spend time on the benefits
of what you will do.

Your tax plan is superior, but the people need to know that 80% of the
American people will pay the lowest rate (12%?) or zero. The 15%
corporate rate allows businesses to invest tens of billions creating jobs.
The money left in the pockets of the public will provide great benefit
then being in the hands of Washington, so close to lobbyists!

As for Common Core, you never say why its wrong. Mention the millions
of mothers across the country who saw first hand how bad it...as well as
teacher unions who see the problem of this never tested standard that
increases the cost of public education. States have done a better job
BEFORE the US DOE was created in 1979.

Tell more about 'American steel', that the public was told "we can't compete
with foreign made steel." Prove we can!

Challenge Ford and GM to do what more than a dozen foreign auto makers
are doing, building their cars here!

Mention the Keystone pipeline and the benefits it provides.

Also, speak of the broken national energy grid and how it needs to be
strengthen with more nuclear reactors.

Tell the public we do not need 17 agencies providing food stamps, when
they can be administered from one.

Explain how you will ensure Congress produces a budget, on time, not
sidestep using continuing resolutions or sequestration to afford taking
responsibility.

Please address the key benefits you bring to the White House, these are
the "selling points" to counter the corrupt media and falsehood about you.

Bless you and your family.

If you believed the Benghazi video......

While Hillary Clinton has been tweeting incessantly Donald Trump
release his tax returns she has stonewalled all requests she do
likewise of speech transcripts she made to Wall St. the past two
years earning her more than $20 million.

Now we know why!

Wikileaks did not wait for Secy. Clinton to voluntarily release
the transcripts, it produced them!

Hillary Clinton's message to Wall St. is much different than the
one she has  been spewing on Main St. and exactly the reason
Bernie Sanders' campaign was so successful.

For over a year Sanders has been saying the system is 'rigged',
the message Hillary quickly co-opted to defuse his campaign.

Hillary's speeches confirmed what Sanders and even Trump
have been saying! Only difference, Sanders presumes to know
it from the 'outside', Trump does, having been on the 'inside'.

With her remarks made public the Clinton media machine went
to work, using the same pattern; beginning with denial, followed
by splitting "literary" hairs, such as definition of "is" and
culminating with misdirection as we saw in the Benghazi video.

So when Clinton surrogates tell us the Wikileaks report was
concocted by the Russians we should treat what they say for
what it is, another Clinton lie!

But, the Clintons may have foolishly stepped over a line it
should have avoided, attacking Russia. Don't doubt Putin
is more than the Clintons can handle, even with a complicit
media.

Which is more troubling, Trump's words or Hillary's deeds?

Will Donald Trump, the candidate with nine lives, survive the latest
revelation of remarks he made eleven years ago?

Since its October in an election year, "Trick or Treat" arrives well
before Halloween! This "October Surprise" was long anticipated, the
drip, drip, drip that began last year with each report of what Trump
said to or about woman.

Today, those yearning for his fall are hoping this will be the final nail
in Donald Trump's political coffin.....maybe!

The American people have learned Trump made disparaging remarks
about women in 2005 on a 'hot mike' entertainment show interview!
 
A decade ago Trump stepped over this 'political' line, a trip wire just
waiting for the right time. And October in an election year is always
the right time!

Its easy for the "Trumpsters" to point to Bill Clinton as an example of
despicable behavior. But, they already know the response will be "Bill
Clinton is not running for president".

Hillary Clinton is, making it fair to measure her deeds against Trump's words.

Her performance as Secy. of State should be troubling, even among her
supporters. Her fingerprints can be found throughout every area of the
Middle East in turmoil.

Worse was Hillary's failure to go to the aid of our Libyan ambassador
and then attempt a coverup to avoid responsibility, including lying
directly to the victim's families! 

Her management of key classified data, the source of years of an FBI
investigation should be of greater concern. And despite FBI director
Comey saying he saw "no evidence of intent", her behavior should
still disqualify Hillary Clinton from becoming our next president.

No need to revisit the four years, only mention from the beginning of
her tenure at State she refused to adhere to a requirement to protect
classified information, even on a direct order from President Obama.

We also learned she took the extraordinary step to prevent anyone from
seeing the contents of her computer by destroying all information and
even physically destroying the machine.

Even people in her employ used their Fifth Amendment privilege to avoid
answering questions about her computer before Congressional hearings.

Lastly, we learned foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation have been
communicating directly to Hillary even though she 'disassociated' with
the foundation as she promised President Obama she would do!

Now, which is more troubling, Trump's words or Hillary's deed?

Well, to some Republican are more troubled by Trump's words they are
suggesting he drop out of the race. Really?

The Republican Party is willing to walk away from the one person who
has galvanized the party and is anxious to attack problems with concrete
solutions rather than political excuses.

Many Republican leaders would be content with Hillary to continue what
Obama started, allow our country to disintegrate into an "also ran",
bowing to globalists rather than the desires of the American people!

THIS is what the party of Lincoln and Reagan has finally become,
a complicit second tier organization doing the bidding of power
brokers, not its members! 

In the upside down world of politics "words" are worse than "deeds"
even when actual behavior places our nation at risk.

The big unreported "crime" is not what Donald Trump said about
women, its that he dared challenge a corrupt government which sells
out American workers time and again as politicians 'represent' donors
and lobbyists while centralizing control over every aspects of the
people's lives in Washington making independent state sovereignty
meaningless.

For those of us who have listened to both candidates we know what
we will get from each. In my opinion we do not want Hillary to win.

In no particular order, this is what to expect if Hillary is elected:

1. Taxes, deficit spending and debt will go higher
2. Millions of illegals will become citizens
3. Border will remain porous
4. Domestic terrorist attacks will continue
5. Racial divide will get wider
6. Black crime will continue and residents' quality of life gets worse
7. Cops will continue to be killed, even assassinated
8. Iran and North Korea will continue to threaten their neighbors
9. US will become a global 'partner' at expense of American workers
10.America will remain dependent of foreign oil
11.Businesses will continue to move offshore as US taxes remain high
12.US education will remains inferior
13.Ideological Court will make the Constitution merely a piece of paper
14.Wall St, lobbyist and donors will "govern" from the shadows.
15.Justice Dept. will continue to be political power.
16.Drug cartels will continue to rule the most vulnerable cities.

Lastly, we saw the dangerous concoction of "contempt and incompetence"
Hillary displayed as Secy. of State. Do we really want her to bring it
to the presidency?

Before we jump off the SS Donald Trump, take a gander into the ocean
you will be swimming in.
