As usual, downtown Portland was beautiful on Labor day. And what better way to greet the sunset, than to talk about freedom with friends and drink Starbucks? It was an honor, and it was fun.

Transcript: Well, we’ve been fighting for a long time. We are outnumbered by liberals, working around the clock without quit.

This thing that is happening is something we haven’t seen before. We are going so far left that we are making communist dictators look like conservatives. Taking over banks, car companies, destroying whole industries, and now health care…all at the expense of the American Tax Payer.

The liberals’ hands have been busy. This is the socialist future my dad warned me about.

The government does not create jobs, the government does not generate wealth…hard working Americans are the ones who have made this country great. Hard working tax payers are the ones who fund our government. I think it is time we reminded the government that it exists only because of those of us who pay taxes.

I believe in free markets, I believe in supporting the people who create jobs and prosperity. I believe in cutting taxes. And I believe in cutting the size of government.

I believe this is the greatest country that has ever existed.

And I will not apologize for the United States. This is the land of opportunity and we need to keep it that way!

Our ideologies have been at war since before any of us existed. They taxed my father, they taxed my mother…to pay for programs and things I find repulsive. It has to stop.

If we stay the course, I believe our economy is dead, I believe our constitution is dead, and our liberty and personal freedom will soon be dead!

But there is good news. A resistance is forming…it’s forming right here. I want you to know, that you are not alone; there are pockets of resistance all over the country.

We can turn this around! We have to defend our freedoms against this autocratic rule where debate is stifled…and bills like the stimulus package are pushed through without even being read. We must resist! We can no longer afford to be the silent majority! We need to come alive. We need to come alive in here (head), and in here (heart).

If you want to join me in the resistance in Congressional District 1 to unseat David Wu and let your voices be heard in Washington DC…contact me via the web, I need your help.

My name is Doug Keller, and if you can hear what I’m saying, you are the resistance.
