James Traficante Back In Action
Many may remember the terms of office held by James Traficante in the House of Representatives. His was an unusual story of a sheriff in Ohio who ran for Congress, won, and served from 1985 - 2002. His controversial approach, his independence, and outspoken ways certainly brought on conflicts with colleagues who had fallen into preserving the status quo and protecting powerful interests. Traficante found it too difficult to ignore the interests of his constituents and the general public. He was one of the few voices in Congress that actually openly exposed the machinations of the Federal Reserve. He had the courage to criticize the undue power and influence of AIPAC. Finally, he was the source of one too many controversies and enemies from within conspired to create use the legal system against him. He knew that it would lead to prison, where he spent 7 years and was released on Sept. 2, 2009. Now, he’s back in action with a talk-radio show on WTAM.
CRC founder, Mickey Paoletta met up with Traficante a few months back and they’ve been recognizing a lot of common ground. For one, they are both committed to educating the public about the crimes of the financial system. On March 10, Traficante gave a passionate and rousing presentation for a packed room of people in Mechanicsburg, PA. He shared his views on the current issues facing the country. He presented his views on what’s needed for job creation, and much more. He explained in great detail what happened to him in Congress that brought on the prosecution and prison sentence. The overall impression everyone was left with is - James Traficante has plenty of energy and drive for which he wants to dedicate to improving the conditions of the country.
