Lone Rock, WI - Two years ago, the politicians wanted Kevin Barrett fired from his teaching job. Now Barrett is turning the tables. Barrett is calling on the voters to fire the politicians, starting with his own 3rd District Representative, Ron Kind.

"The Democrats were elected in 2006 to end the war," Barrett explains. "They failed. Ron Kind and the rest of them keep voting to throw our money into that five trillion dollar black hole in Iraq. That's why our economy is tanking and gas prices are through the roof. It's time to give the Democrats and the Republicans their walking papers. It's time to fire them all." Barrett will be running as a Libertarian and urging voters to throw all Republicans and Democrats out of office. He will be handing out copies of the new DVD Washington, You're Fired while he campaigns.

Barrett said he was inspired to run for Congress by three people: Jesse Ventura, the maverick independent who beat the Democrats and Republicans to become Governor of Minnesota; Ron Paul, the Republican presidential candidate and defender of freedom; and above all Ed Thompson, the mayor of Tomah. "If Ed were running against me, I'd definitely vote for Ed," Barrett admits.

Alongside "end the 9/11 wars, save five trillion dollars," Barrett is running on a "take back our freedom, save the Constitution" platform. He points out that the Bush Administration has shredded the Bill of Rights and even revoked habeas corpus, the basis of freedom in Western law dating back to the Magna Carta. But he also argues that the destruction of Constitutional rule has been going on for many decades, with the creation of the private Federal Reserve money cartel, the establishment of the income tax, and the founding of the National Security State in 1947 being the three biggest landmarks in the gradual destruction of the Constitution.

Along with his call to Investigate 9/11, Barrett's platform also includes such planks as Deregulate Small Business, End the War on Drugs, Bust Up Monopoly Media, End Aid to Israel, and Return to the Foreign Policy Principles of George Washington.

Barrett will announce his challenge to Congressman Ron Kind this Monday, May 12 at 1:45 pm, shortly before Ron Kind's Monroe County Listening Session in County Board Room, 112 South Court Street, Sparta, WI, 2:00-3:00 pm. After making the announcement, Barrett plans to participate in Kind's listening session by asking the Congressman some pointed questions.
