I am currently a Government and special education teacher. In 1998 I ran for Congress from Md.’s 6th Congressional District. That would not be notable except that ten years ago I predicted that unless we changed our economic policies we would return to the Great Depression. I was called an embarrassment by the Baltimore Sun and they actively wondered where the Democratic Party had found me because I refused all PAC and Special Interest Money and tried to raise money with small donations from Costituents, something Obama did to perfection this year. In 2000 as the Green Party Candidate for Congress I staged a street theatre putting the US. Political system on trial for corruption in front of the Frederick County Md Court House which was followed one day later by Florida’s voting debacle. Anyone can write but not everyone can analyze and write creatively.
I am currently a teacher, and student. My background is law and I have an interest in politics. I am earning my doctorate, so I am an exceptional writer. I have a great analytical process to my writing that I convey in a logical and related way.
Thanks,
Sindy
Hi
I have a two-year experience in reporting. I worked for the The Indian Express newspaper and was covering political parties and developmental issues in New Delhi before quitting my job.
Writing samples can be viewed on the net by googling my name.
I am interested in writing on political (and related) issues in the Indian subcontinent.
Thanks

sample of Tea Party article.
Dumb Masses: An American Pull Toy
Most of us in our fifties or sixties remember the little wooden basset hound, duck or kitten we pulled behind us as we traversed every room in the house and challenged our parents’ patience to the point of suicide. Fortunately for all concerned the toy would mysteriously disappear before the precipice was reached.
As the new “symbolic tax revolt” nears, the pressure is on. I am receiving calls and emails from people I haven’t spoken with in months – even years. The common denominator seems to be today’s ubiquitous interrogative: “which tea party are you going to?”
For the record, I have decided to stand at my own helm. I have no intention of engaging in an exercise of futility. The Tax Day Tea Party goal is currently billed as a symbolic tax revolution. That’s absurd. There are only two means to achieve any goal – either brute force or intellectual persuasion. This proposed tea party lacks both elements.
At best this tea party is a hastily constructed mob. Mobs, regardless of their origin or intent are seldom recognized for their intellectual capacity: independent thought loses ground to mass hysteria. There are no – for lack of a better term – Generals, Strategists or Central Leaders behind this symbolic tea party. A cause lacking a course of action simply serves no purpose.
Rick Santelli may be the individual largely recognized as the tea party instigator. I use the term “instigator” because there was no plan or objective in place. This whole thing started with a vigorous “rant”. The instantaneous communication capabilities via the internet inadvertently set the Hessian Soldier on a new mount: nothing more.
If we step back and look at this strangely conceived call to arms we can easily spot two constants: 1) It is a well publicized party: so is the 4th of July. 2) The central “bad guy” in this particular situation is “big government and excessive taxation”. With regards to the first constant, when observing Independence Day most of the participants’ focus does not go beyond the fare on the picnic table or the bright and pretty colors filling the night sky. The second constant can be laid to rest as a complete and utter lack of recognition. The average American actually has no clue as to how much of their earnings (property) actually go to big government as taxes.
Here is what will happen. On April 15th, 2009, scattered hither, thither and yon throughout this country, thousands, perhaps even tens of thousands of Americans will engage in a deceptive unification to voice their objection to Big Government, excessive spending and taxation without representation. Deceptive unification: yes. Forgive them father, for they know not what they do: literally. On April 16th, 2009, the status quo will prevail as everyone returns to work – for those that have jobs – and the beat goes on…and the beat goes on.
Nature provides us with a perfect example of what is to come following this Tax Day Tea Party. For those Americans residing in the Deep South, the familiar sight of fire ant mounds popping up in yards and pastures is by now accepted as status quo.
For grins and giggles take a piece of paper, make a name tag, label it as “Big Government” and pin it to your shirt. On another piece label it as Excessive Taxes” and wrap it around a big stick. Now, stand within six inches of a fire ant mound for a few moments. After a few moments you will be accepted as a natural obstacle to the foragers. Without moving your feet bend over and plunge the stick into the mound and twist it once. Let go of the stick and watch the show. Immediate Chaos!
The entire surface of the mound comes alive with a massive swarm of workers, soldiers and gatherers. Bumping into and climbing over one another- perhaps an isolated skirmish or two. The soldiers cover every inch of the intruding stick but failing to recognize or make a connection to the actual threat it is ignored. Within five minutes order is restored. The soldiers return to quarters. The foragers continue to scout for food and the workers go back to work. If you have the patience to wait watch the workers incorporate the Big Stick as part of their mound. It is now safe to remove the name tag from your shirt and walk away.
There is no telling what Santelli’s intentions were – perhaps he was merely looking for a pull toy to play with.
I am not an overeducated man as you request you would like. The closest I came to going to Harvard College is I lived close by. I am passionate about politic’s and against the march toward socialism. What is my goal: Attack the left as the danger they are to freedom and make money for anyone I write for….Example the democrats own the House of Representatives anf the Senate along with Presidency. The question is what is the next move the left is prepared to do to get absolute control of the United States. I know do you. The Left has a KGB mentality and will stop at nothing to gain dictatorial power in this country. Obama has his own personal brown shirts called ACORN and when he starts releasing blacks from prison they will end up in Obama’s personal bodyguards. Watch out for the next 18 months when Obama makes his move. But again, what is the next brutal thing the left will do to gain control of the U.S. It is so obvious it’s scary!
