Target Huckabee for public accounting....

By Constance Lavender 2 comments

I believe a public inquiry and explanation is in order from GOP frontrunner Mike Huckabee concerning his flaunting of tax and contributions laws for personal benefit and gain.

Is this the kind of man the GOP intends to put up as the face of the Republican Party? I can tell you that the average Iowa Republican primary voter may not find anything unusual about that, as long as he's antiabortion, anti-gay, pro-AIDS-quarantine, but the average voter in the nation finds that type of behavior abusive, arrogant, and despicable.

And this man is a Baptist minister?

Seems Huckabee may have some misplaced motives, priorities and values when it comes to Holy Matrimony and this voter at least would like an explanation.

Thank you.

"Rob Kall gives readers an important wake up call to the bottom up power that they have to protect their rights, powers, and freedoms. His advice applies to all aspects of life, including politics, economics, journalism, entertainment, and psychology and wellness. Kall's book explains the differences between the top-down leadership approach of dominating, fear based, disconnected authoritarianism and the bottom-up connection consciousness that emphasizes values, justice, fairness, equity, and kindness. This book helps readers see the whole elephant as opposed to the disconnected parts. Kall gives great advice as to intensifying, expanding, prolonging, and deepening connections. With his professional background, Rob Kall is the perfect person to write this book. This is a very well-researched book that includes dozens of insightful interviews with top-notch experts. Kall shows how bottom-up small acts can produce massive results. He emphasizes that since we can't avoid this emerging bottom-up connection revolution, we need to learn how to navigate and embrace it. This bottom-up leadership will result in power to the people. This is a fascinating and insightful book, especially in this new era of digital hunting and gathering."
