Why Am I Doing This?

Vince Pannell Pic

Over the last 60 years, I have experienced a lot, and that gives me the wonderful option of Hindsight. Over that time I have seen the bright blue sky turn to a hazy grey-blue, I have watched the gradual creep of more and more rules, regulations and laws erode away our freedoms. It’s almost at a point now that you have to look up what you are allowed to do and not the other way around.

How did I get here? Of all things, it was a speeding fine that really made me see that something is just not right here. What was this, I am guilty and had to prove my innocence! That is not how the law is supposed to work. The more I looked the more I found, the more I found the worse it became and it really started to stink. I soon realised that over the last 50 years or so the Governments that we “Trusted” had betrayed that Trust.

Well, last year they just went too far!! When a government (be it State or Federal) start using Coercion / Blackmail and FEAR Tactics on its own people something needs to be done. There were so many people I know who did what the government told them only because they did not want to lose their job, and you can’t blame them. Many others were happy to comply. But that’s where I drew the line and decided to fight for the good side and not just sit back and watch the total destruction of our country as I had been doing for the last 20+ years. It’s been a slow well-planned creep that has occurred and many of us saw it and grumbled but did nothing (something that I am guilty of). After all, how do you fight the government that has all that power?

Well ….. we need good people who are willing to step up and make the sacrifice, people who can’t be bought, and people who love this country, its culture and its people. So I looked around and guess what those people exist. Actually, there are quite a lot now that are starting to stick their heads above the crowd, and just like that, a new family was formed.

So that still does not explain why I want to be a politician. Well, the short answer is “I DON’T!” But someone needs to carry the BIG stick to slap these so-called people back into place or remove them completely.

I have always believed in helping others (sometimes to my detriment) and this is a time when a lot of people need help so if you want I will become your voice, so not a Politician but a TRUE People’s Representative.

Understand that this is personal to me, not only will I be fighting for you and your family I will be fighting for my 6 children’s future. Because I will be dammed if I am going to let them walk blindly into the abyss and have no control over the direction they are heading.
