2015 Kentucky Governor General Election Q&A
Back in May, I put up a Kentucky Governor Primary Election Q&A post for the benefit of the voters of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. All GOP and Democratic Party candidates were solicited and invited to participate by answering the same set of questions and have their responses side by side posted in a single post so that people still undecided can have an opportunity to see what their answers to non mainstream media sponsored questions were. Unfortunately none of the GOP candidates nor the Democratic party candidates responded...However, Independent candidate Drew Curtis, Fark.com Creator out of Lexington saw my impassioned pleas for participation on social media and decided that he would participate even though my initial attempts did not include him..
The Same Invitation to participate in this blog post was again offered to GOP candidate Matt Bevin, Democratic Party candidate Jack Conway, and Independent candidate Drew Curtis.. Deja vu, Drew Curtis was the only candidate to respond with his answers to questions asked. Without further ado...Here are Drew Curtis's answers to once again non mainstream media questions from a common man like me. Please Enjoy and share this with your friends and family on Social Media.
1) As the State of Kentucky continues to see problems with drugs such as heroin continuing to claim lives and create headaches for law enforcement, many claim that the "War on Drugs" is to blame, many claim
that we arent spending enough on enforcement, what do you see as the solution?
"This is without a doubt one of the most difficult problems facing Kentucky. If it were easy to fix we'd have a solution already.
I'm still exploring this issue but so far I'm considering solutions along the following lines:
- Massachusetts is working on a pilot program to work on a similar problem in their state, I'm keeping an eye on how well it works but I'm hopeful.
- Decriminalizing addiction. I realize this is vague statement but we need to reach addicts in order for them to receive treatment, we should not treat them as criminals"
2) The Commonwealth of Kentucky for its entire existence has always seen the eastern part of the state particularly the south east portion typically known as the coal fields of Kentucky wrought with poor economic conditions even during the height of the coal industry, do you see more government or less government intervention as a solution here and what do you have planned to ease burdens in this part of the state?
"Eastern Kentucky is hungry for technology. As the only candidate for Governor who has personally built broadband networks and is a computer programer, I am intimately familiar with technology. Eastern Kentucky shares a similar geographic profile to Boulder Colorado - however turning communities into tech hubs requires more than just running broadband out to them (although it is a good start).
I am a strong proponent of less direct government intervention - I would prefer the private sector provide and implement solutions. Government should assist when and where it is needed. "
3) During the last 12 months, the nation has seen attacks on our Law Enforcement over the incidents in Ferguson, Missouri Baltimore, Maryland, and in New York. As Governor and chief executor of laws in this state, what will you do to ensure that moral and support stay high with local and state police?
"I don't have any solutions at hand for this but I would like to ensure moral and support for law enforcement. I welcome anyone who has working implementations to contact me so we can take a look together"
4) People believe that the Governor should be viewed as any other elected position as a servant to the people. Do you believe that the Governor should be holding more local public meetings with the people so that they can be given their voice for him to hear?
"Yes - strongly. Although this can be accelerated by being more open online as well. As an Independent Governor I will have an open door policy. Ideas from both parties are welcome. "
5) Education costs in this state continues to rise along with other schools in every state in this country. What will you do as Governor to lead on suppressing that rise in cost?
"I do not have a solution for this at this time. However there is no additional money available for anything. I am asked often if I support free community college tuition and pre-K education. The answer is yes but Kentucky doesn't have the ability to finance either of those for the forseable future. Leadership from both parties has left Kentucky's finances in shambles. The only news here that is relevant to the question asked is that money isn't available to increase spending. "
6) The 10th Amendment to the US Constitution reads. "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the
people." What will you do as Governor to ensure that the Federal Government doesn't continue to encroach on the rights of the people of the Commonwealth?
"This is actually somewhat complicated depending on what we're talking about. Let's examine a few examples:
- Laws preventing gay marriage were ruled unconstitutional. This means all laws state and federal were thrown out. State laws cannot mandate something that has been declared unconstitutional. As a result, county clerks must issue marriage licenses.
- When state and federal laws conflict, a state official must defend the state law against the federal law. Currently state law allows the growing of hemp. Federal law says growing hemp is illegal. If push comes to shove, a Governor must fight to preserve the law that allows hemp to be grown. Period.
- Acquiescing to a federal law or mandate does not relinquish the right to go against it later. The EPA has mandated new regulations on emissions to be met by 2030 (along with a billion dollars in investment in Appalachia which I strongly approve of). Currently it appears that Kentucky is going to easily be in compliance with this mandate. However, our agreement to comply - for now - with Federal guidelines does not mean that we will always choose to continue to comply in the future should things change down the road. We are not giving up our right to challenge EPA guidelines in the future."
7) With so much on the plate of Law Enforcement in the state, what do you consider to be priority in order to maximize the effiency of the Law Enforcement and ensure maximum freedom and liberty for the citizens?
"I am open to suggestions on how to implement this from both Law Enforcement and the public. As luck would have it, everyone wants an effective and efficient law enforcement. Given that we have a common goal, I believe we stand a good chance to make improvements everyone will like."

The Great #Democratic Party Fraud of the Last 50 Years!
One of the biggest political ideological frauds perpetrated over the last 50 years is that after the passage of the Civil Rights Acts by a Republican Congress, it is claimed that racists in the Democratic Party switched to being Republicans. This of course is historical white washing as very few in the Democratic Party actually switched parties. Today Democratic party members and their sycophantic supporters perpetuate the lie that they are the party of Civil Rights. They claim that their party protects minorities to include Blacks, Women, etc. They claim that they are the party of tolerance, of equality, of love. What they are doing is with every act attempt to not only re-write history to erase any and all instances (Which are many) of where their party was responsible for supporting human rights violations.
Lets revisit some of these shall we? It was a Democratic President that was responsible for what is known as the "Trail of Tears". You know the order to move all Cherokee Indians from the South East to West of the Mississippi River. The order that caused hundreds of deaths mainly women and children and the elderly that were not strong enough to survive the journey. I can certainly understand why the Democratic Party and their sycophants would love to erase that from the history books. Then there is the KKK. You know that fun loving bunch of Democrats that didn't like the fact that they no longer could rely on slave labor and keep the black man/woman from integrating into what they considered THEIR society. Yes that group of people that donned white sheets over their heads and burned crosses and assaulted/killed black people whenever they could. Yes the very same KKK which Democrats today claim is a Republican Establishment even though they can't find one prominent Republican in their ranks and conveniently forget that Senator Robert Byrd A DEMOCRAT, was a proud member before dying in 2010! Yes Democratic Party would love to absolve themselves of that bit of history. Then there are the Jim Crow laws instituted by the Democrats in the South after the Civil War to discourage Black people from participating in society. This too seems to be a bit of history that the Democratic Party would like for you to forget about. How about the filibuster of Civil Rights Acts by James Strom Thurmond? Yes Thurmond was a Democrat when he attempted for 24 hours and 18 minutes to stop the very bill that Democrats today say they were the champions of. Now Thurmond actually did make the switch to the GOP in 1964. Democrats during these times were all about enforcing the law even when the law was to keep Black people out of White Schools, out of the voting booths. They were all about punishing those who would march in defiance and practicing civil disobedience. It was Democratic President Lyndon B Johnson that said "Ill have those ni&&ers voting Democratic for the next 200 years" That took place in the 70s well after the supposed time when racist democrats switched parties.
So what has changed about the Democratic Party in 2015? The answer is VERY LITTLE. They are still the party of Racism. Everything is about race to them. Their insistence on portraying the Black man/woman as weak, as incompetent, as docile is every bit as harmful if not more harmful than when their ancestors beat them and enslaved them. Their insistence on keeping segments of the population on government welfare and other handouts are perfect examples of how they don't want people to be independent. It is the Democratic Party today that tells Blacks and Latin minorities that they are victims if they are to be made to provide proof of identification in order to cast a vote. Every single metropolitan area ran by Democratic Mayors have the highest rates of Black on Black Murder/crime. It is Democratic strong holds like Baltimore that see "leaders" condoning and at times even encouraging the social decline of youth. "Give them room to loot, its just property" YES these words were uttered by the Democratic Mayor of Baltimore. Just look at the Confederate Flag nonsense today. After 9 Christians were killed by a racist in their own church in Charleston S.C. it was discovered that the killer, Dylann Storm Roof, was pictured holding a Confederate battle flag. Since Charleston decided not to riot, loot, and destroy their own community, controversy in the form of attacking the Confederate Battle Flag was started. It was a flag that Democrats in the south raised during the civil war, but try to white wash history by claiming that it is a flag loved by conservative republicans. Yet another one of their lies when they cannot pass off civil rights atrocities is to claim that it was Conservatives of the Democratic party that were responsible for them and that they are all now Republicans today.
After the decision by the Supreme Court to force Gay Marriage as law in all 50 states, it is predictable that Conservatives across the country would choose to resist by either ending all marriage licenses or to simply refuse to assign gay couples marriage licenses. This non violent act of resistance otherwise known as civil disobedience is once again being attacked by, you guessed it, DEMOCRATS. Their insistence on using man's law to be their moral compass once again compels them to lash out and demand punishment for those who dare to disobey a law. The Liberal Gay Militants are even angrier today than they were prior to this decision. I am reminded of a school of piranha fish that feverishly attack once they gain any measure of victory over their opponent. The amount of hate and vitriol handed out on social media and by sycophantic media/celebrities over the last week in the "LoveWins" nonsense has the exact same stench and fervor that could arguably be compared to how the Democrats of the 1860s and beyond felt when they could no longer hold the Black man/woman down in bondage. Ill close with an image of fine tolerant loving caring Democratic Gay Activists when they visited the White House. Ill let you decide if today's Democrats live up to their attempted hype, or if they are just as deviant and as dangerous to the moral fiber of American society today as they were at their creation.
