Itasca County native W.D. (Bill) Hamm announces U.S. Senate candidacy
Itasca County native W.D. (Bill) Hamm Saturday (Sept. 24) announced his candidacy for the DFL primary election on Aug. 14, 2012 for U.S. Senator from Minnesota.
W.D. Hamm, U.S. Senate candidate
Hamm, born and raised in Itasca County, is the oldest of 7 siblings with 3 children and 8 grandchildren which he says makes him a committed American on their behalf. He is currently a divorced bachelor of six years enjoying unprecedented freedom, he says.
Hamm is a Grand Rapids High School graduate and a mildly disabled Vietnam era vet
Hamm is the holder of three vocational degrees: One year Degree in Paper and Pulp Technology, completed in 1973. Holder of a two-year Degree in Electrical Maintenance, completed in 1974 (credit given for military experience). He is the holder of a two-year degree in Forest and Wildlife Management completed in 1988 (home study). Hamm is also the holder of a variety of leadership, education, and economic development certifications over the last 30+ years.
The newly announced senate candidate has logged 36 years of very active political involvement which he says includes 30+ years fighting the present Education Reform Movement that has led to the most racially and economically biased education system in Minnesota’s history.”
Hamm said he is announcing his senate candidacy for the following reasons:
1. Senator Klobuchar’s 8-year stance against freedom and the Second Amendment. Her antigun position, as identified by her ZERO NRA rating and her expected support for the UN small arms treaty, disproportionately affects people of color and rural Americans, a very un-American position.
2. Senator Klobuchar’s 8-year aggression against freedom by means of her continued support of the racist/economically biased “War on Drugs”. She supported this same policy as a persecutor of these groups while working as a public prosecutor prior to her election. Her commitment to this racist and culturally biased program (started knowingly by Richard Nixon) is inexcusable.
3. Senator Klobuchar’s 8-year support of the racist/economically biased addiction of our children to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) drugs. This predominantly male diagnosis is being made at rates seen nowhere else in the world. Because up to 8% of these male children addicted to ADHD drugs before puberty will be made sterile and that more than twice as many poverty level children are being addicted, one could consider her a champion of the New Eugenics.
4. Senator Klobuchar’s 8-year support for continued Federal influence in the states’ rights issue of educating our children has undisputedly lead to the most racially and economically biased education system Minnesota and the nation have seen since the days of the Jim Crow South.
5. Senator Klobuchar’s 8-year failure of leadership in reducing the world’s highest addiction rate to the products of big drug companies. Over 47% of America’s adult population is now addicted with 90+% of all painkillers made being prescribed here. Drug dependency upon prescription drugs is, again, racially and economically biased in application and scope.
6. Senator Klobuchar’s 8-year failure to do anything to stop the Great American obesity epidemic. This rampant problem is again racially and economically skewed by the kinds of foods available and affordable to these people. Senator Klobuchar’s abject failure to lead on this issue has made her a passive witness to the fattening of America for profit by companies like Monsanto.
7. Senator Klobuchar’s 8-year failure to do anything to turn around the unemployment rate of Black Americans that runs at more than double that of whites. She is practicing the costly and ineffective welfare state approach of giving them a hand out rather than a hand up. A policy that undermines blacks while keeping middle class union workers employed.
Senator Klobuchar’s continued support for the out of touch progressive/socialist leadership of the Minnesota DFL, has made it impossible to support her or my parties position on the above issues. This is a party that has forsaken the majority of those who should be its support base to back a collection of unrepresentative elitist minority factions. For all of these reasons I am entering the DFL primary race against Senator Klobuchar as a representative of the 62%, (the working class who don’t reach the bottom of the middle crust threshold and who are neither rich nor middle class) not the other38%.
