Here is my answer to the survey questions.

“I like some of the petitions. I feel like it is my only way to get government to focus on the important issues, namely, following the constitution of the United States. Both parties waste time and money trying to solve peoples personal problems. We are adults, protect our rights and let us take care of ourselves.”

It is so frustrating to want something so simple and have our representatives plug their ears and keep meddling.

I have not borrowed on Prosper but would in a heartbeat if the need arose. It sure beats dealing with banks and helps a fellow investor at the same time.

Join me on Prosper and take a small bite out of the banking system while earning safer/better returns than the stock market.

This is clearly an idiotic position to take. A governor needs to communicate with his constituents and instead of using a radio program to do this I guess he can spend taxpayer funds to send newsletters or send letters to answer constituent questions that otherwise could have been answered on air. After reading the article, I continued reading the comments and was struck by the following, very astute, response.

News flash Chafee camp: ALL media is “ratings driven, for-profit programming” (unless it’s tax-payer funded NPR), otherwise it would not have the funds to exist, pay salaries, etc. If media doesn’t have any ratings that means no one listens, reads, watches. So I guees we can infer that the Gov will speak to non-ratings driven media which no one cares about. Or is he just not going to talk at all? Oh, one last thing: what’s wrong with making a profit in the media business? This is pretty unbelievable.
