This is a special program at PlantalkRadio.com. I'm George Moss and we're going to be talking this afternoon. We're off to Mr. Tom Whitmire and he is a candidate for the Congressional C. I think this is my calling so it's the spiritual path that I've been put on. I'm at a point in my life where I'm able to stand up and be a voice that can speak the truth. And I think that a great leader is also creating other leaders. So I don't want to say, you know, I want to create a following. What I want to do is inspire other leaders to stand up as well. So I started this process to where I am today by having to gather signatures. So I got over 1500 signatures in the process of 1000 of those signatures. I either gathered myself or the person standing next to me and got. So I got to meet 1000 of these people and everyone was a small interview. So I've already had a small interview by about 1000 people. They want to ask questions. And a lot of them would just look at the top of the petition and say, oh, you're a Republican. I'm not voting for you. I say, no, I'm a human being. I'm running on the Republican ticket. And they would stop them and they want to listen. They would encourage you then about that more. They say, well, I'm a Democrat. And I'm not going to sign that. And I said, well, I'm running on a platform, nutrition, health, agriculture, and education. And I said, I think we have a huge disconnect about what is real food and the people are sick. And they're like, yeah, I can get into that. What do you think about GMOs? And I told them the truth of what I thought about different aspects. And all of a sudden, the people were gathering this. Yeah, yeah, this is what we need to do. This makes a difference in the crap and I petition to go. I'll sign that. Well, I'm glad you mentioned that because I was going to ask you about what would be your point of entry. No one that you are in a Democratic party stronghold, Gen.C. County, being that. And you said your district, the fifth district is it encompasses, you telling us the area. Gen.C. County, secondhand county, Bay, IASCO, Aronite. In those, and Tuscalo. In those Republican strongholds, we know the Democratic party strongholds, Gen.C. County is pretty much that. So in those, I know you're saying that you are not running in that partisan manner. Correct. But partisanship is a factor in the political process. Correct. So how is there any Republican partisanism that's in place until the other places are in place? You can judge it by looking at people just vote straight tickets. So if a candidate doesn't even run, they don't put out a single sign. They don't do a single interview. They just paid $100 to get on the ticket. Sometimes they get between 30 and 36% of the vote in this area. But I think when we start looking at the Republican or Democrat, we're creating a disconnect between what the actual issues and we're trying to do. I agree with your thousand percent. And we need to start creating unity in our community. Sure. And I think politics is too often, in times, divisional, uh, unprepulsed, because they want to run the party of the abels and not run on the issues in the campaigns. I don't know if you're a thousand percent on that point. It still is an issue to be dealt with, though, in terms of how the county is paid out in the past. If you got a deed behind your name, you know, people are kind of locked up with that's the ticket that you're going to vote for. And that's the way to break that cycle so we get better government. And I think that's what you're saying in terms of how you run the no-campaign. I think it's a very wonderful approach to how you are running on health, nutrition, education, and air and culture. I don't think I've ever seen a campaign with those four irons at the top of the campaign strategy. Well, let me touch on agriculture a little bit. Explain what that aspect means and what my research has shown my investigation. Being in this industrial age area, we can specifically just talk about Gen.C. County today where I'm clinked talk radio. What happened is we opened up general open motors, opened up the factors. So all the farmers left their farms and started to work in the factories. So a lot of that farm land was just left to hobby farming or just lay dormant. When the giant model cropping boom came across the nation and they were just wiping out the family farms, putting these large corporations so they could just drive one tractor for miles. They were using a lot of pesticides or using a lot of fertilizers and using a lot of genetically modified genetically engineered seeds. What has happened is that this area's land has remained untouched. This area's land here. Yeah. So anywhere from IOS go to Gen.C. County, we still have real farm land. So if you drive, you'll see a house and then there's a field behind it and there's a barn and there's a tractor. The way the farming is meant to be. Right. So that's an untouched resource. We have quality, high quality soil that they don't have in the rest of the nation. And what we need to do is start taking advantage of that and start planting plants again like celery and asparagus. And these plants that we can grow, we can get into our own institutions. But what we also can take advantage of is that we sit on the best logistical system and the best supply chain system in the country. And as we've been shipping cars around the world, we have maybe four major railroads that come into this area. They drive right through the factories we have boating ducks. So if we were producing high quality food products and we can say local, we can say organic, whatever the standard is, then we can start shipping and we can start feeding our own people. And we can start shipping high quality foods around this country as well.
