End of the line.

God Bless the veterans, past and present, who secure our Republic and allow us to freely engage in elections! We had many candidates and may God bless them and their families for their willingness to serve. I am humbled to have been a part of this process. It was a close race, and all my best goes to the winner, Mr. Jim Obrien. Thank you for your support and prayers.

Am Vets

I had a wonderful time meeting the folks at the American Veterans Post 75 last night. Thanks for their hospitality and allowing me to speak. Thank God for all the veterans who have made this country safe! Even with 12 years in the Navy, I know I don't compare to combat veterans who put their lives on the line for our constitution. God bless each of them!
Tomorrow morning they have a pancake breakfast at 8:30 am. Thank a Veteran!

Warning!

After meeting and reading all the candidates' advertisements, I have deep reservations about the use of the word "progress". Did you not know it is code word for "communism, socialism, and central planning"? Are the candidates aware of their implied association with communism when using such language?

Informed voters need to ask more direct questions to know the philosophy and principles that guide decision making of candidates. I fear most candidates don't have a clue how they will respond, besides taking a poll. That, my friend, is democracy, mob rule, and not what this country is founded on. We are a Republic, where law rules, not public opinion. At the Federal level, the constitution restricts power. The states have the rest of the power not enumerated in the constitution, article 1, section 8. Locally, we have authority given from the state.

Due to our neglect and political correctness, the past 100 years have "progressed" us into an unconstitutional democracy with flexible laws applying to certain groups (immigration, tax law, etc.) and regulations directing and controlling industry, not capitalism supply and demand.

The role of government is to protect your God given rights (liberties) and property. Enough control to prevent anarchy. We have "progressed" to soft tyranny and central planning of communists. Now with blinding speed we have "progressed" toward "transformation" of socialist America via irresponsible spending, socialized medicine, government controlled industries, and crushing trans-generational debt.

Elections have consequences. Did you not know that would be the direction? Did they lie to you? Or did you not understand their language? Know your candidates.

I affirm the Constitution and Bill of Rights is an unchanging law of the land. The preamble is not law.
I affirm the states' rights as prescribed in the 10th amendment (see above).
Right to bear arms is an individual right (see above) and licensing or registering firearms is the first step to taking them away (as done with Hitler's Germany).
I am against abortion.
Marriage is between one man and one woman, but the states have authority in giving marriage licenses or not honoring another state's marriage license. I want Kentucky to make state law declaring it defines marriage between one man and one woman and will not recognize homosexual marriages.
Counties can make more restrictive laws than states (like alcohol sales).
Laws should not infringe on a persons' property or natural (God given) rights.
Public money is for public uses (police, fire, roads, safety), not non profit organizations, or giving loans or bonds to private business.
Redistribution of wealth is stealing.
I will not vote for any immorality or anything against God, even if church leaders (they are capable of sin and mistakes) or the majority of people want it. For example, gambling is not Godly or best for the public virtue.
You cannot spend your way out of debt.
Balancing the budget is not always fiscally conservative (spend more, tax more is not wise).
Government's should be more conservative with public money than their own money.
I affirm capitalism and individualism are the proven path to prosperity, not socialism or collectivism, or giving up your individual rights for the common good.
Global warming is a provable hoax and not grounded in science, but politics and control.
Conservation is admirable as God's stewards of His world.


Elections have consequences. Know the wolf in sheep's clothing!

BBQ festival speech

This speech is five minutes, but I had to cut it down to three for the BBQ festival. I wanted to post the original , extended dance version, so here you go!

Thanks to the BBQ festival planning committee for allowing the candidates this opportunity to speak.
I am Dr. Carol Meza, and I'm running for Daviess County Commissioner for the East Division.
I was born in Tennessee, went to college in Arkansas, and Medical School in Maryland, just outside of DC.
I was a Navy flight surgeon and proudly wore the Navy uniform for 12 years.
I've lived from the east coast to the west coast, but my family and I chose Philpot to be our home.
My husband works for Owensboro Anesthesia Services as an anesthesiologist.
I took a break from medicine after moving to Kentucky to raise my daughter, Sophia. The next year, I had a very premature baby, Clarissa, who was not even two pounds when she was born.
I'm not sure where to mention my Lord, Jesus Christ, because His grace is my strength and an integral part of my life.


I'm not a politician, but strive to have a servant's heart. I think that is why I felt compelled to participate.
We the people have not been heard for a while now, and the only way to change that is for the people to step up and put our names on the ballot.


It only takes a few seconds to collapse a building like the Big E, but years to create it. Will you have the courage, the virtue, to do what is necessary to build up what is being destroyed by neglect, to restore our liberties?
I believe in the power of the individual and by using our talents together we will be able to build a great and prosperous future. So, in 2010 do we restore the Republic and it's potential for prosperity, or do we do nothing and let it fall like Rome?

As the Pledge of Allegiance reminds us, we are a Republic, not a Democracy. Democracies are mob rule, changing with the whims of man.
But America is a representative Republic. That means we are ruled by law, a law that protects everyone equally. That law is the Constitution. This law doesn't change and is predictable so you can be free to plan your future. Free to prosper, free to try, and free to fail, and free to try again.
In a civil society, laws exist to protect the freedoms and property of the people, not to redistribute the wealth by giving you everything you think the universe owes you. As Thomas Jefferson once said, "A government that is big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have." Exchanging liberty for security seems humane at first, but it will only lead to slavery which is the loss of freedom.
Elections have consequences.

Recently we have witnessed the government work against capitalism with the take over of most of the auto industry, the bank industry, bailouts for Freddie Mac and Fannie May, AIG, and now Greece via the International Monetary Fund! In addition, 1/6 of our GDP is now controlled by the ill-conceived government health care plan. Our national debt is 12.9 Trillion and is mostly owned by communist China. We are bankrupt as a nation. And don't forget the unemployment rate rose this week to 9.9%. Energy prices are going to skyrocket with cap and tax, and then the VAT tax will be sure to transform America into socialist Europe.
Elections have consequences.

Here in Owensboro the establishment wants to spend public money on a downtown project that has no end in sight and no return on investment. "If you build it, they will come" is magical thinking and in this recession without end and with the DOW dropping an unprecedented thousand points on May 6th, it is irresponsible thinking.

We need fiscal conservatives like myself who are willing to prepare for the worst and hope for the best, who will entice business, not deter them with endless red tape and hidden fees. We need to allow the people to be involved in the solutions.

My vision is for Daviess County to have excellent communication between the citizens and their public servants.
My vision is to create real and lasting jobs, not tax payer funded jobs.
My vision is to increase the wealth of every person by cutting taxes and spending.
We will prioritize spending, starting first with the police and fire departments.
My vision is for you to be free.
I can't make this happen without you. You are the key to the success of this community. My ideas are on my website www.carolmezain2010.com and I want to hear what your ideas are. Call me with respect at 315-3591.
I need your vote for Carol Meza on May 18th and Nov 2nd. Let's take America Back one office at a time!
Elections have consequences.

May 18 elections are right around the corner and it couldn't be more important to vote! We are on the verge of losing our country to socialist, marxist, fascist blueprints that are like the perfect storm of destruction. Look at Greece. Every third paycheck is from the government (the only growing industry is our government). They have unsustainable debt (sound familiar?). With no money to pay the government workers or social programs, the people who have been dependent on the government are now upset and violent (gasp!). Will we be destined to repeat their mistakes?

Daviess county is not Greece, but we still have need to be concerned. The downtown project spending has got to be put on hold until we are out of this recession and well into a booming economy. Then we may re-evaluate how to best promote and utilize the downtown. Repeal the insurance tax! We can be business friendly and free them to grow (jobs) and attract new businesses (jobs). Elect fiscal conservatives and social conservatives in 2010!

We had a great pancake breakfast fundraiser this morning at Norman McDonald's Country Drive-In in Philpot! My deepest thanks go to Alana, Doug, and Austin Esther who all worked hard serving and making it happen! Thanks to the restaurant owners, Norman Grant and Lisa McDonald, for allowing us to have the event there! And thanks for every person who made donations or came to the breakfast! I can't do this without you!
We will be ordering yard signs and bumper stickers (magnetic) soon, so please contact me if you need one!
God Bless America!

I just wanted to make a quick comment about the health care issue in DC that is coming to a head this weekend. Health care is not a natural God given right. The constitution clearly defines and constrains the federal government's specific areas of control in Article 1, section 8 and health care is not there. This power belongs to the states and the people. You want to solve health care? Allow private citizens and states to solve it! Even if you ignore the constitution, the protests against this bill are too numerous to count. A few are: you cannot mandate every man, woman, and child to purchase health insurance just for existing, there is no proof of citizenship required (talk about bankrupting our country at warp speed!), the mafia like bribes using our tax money to buy votes like the "cornhusker kickback" and the "Louisiana purchase", and the tax funded abortions are all worthy of outrage!

Please call your Representatives today, for tomorrow "we're all socialists now."
