I am writing about the upcoming November election. There are three central reasons I ask you to join me in supporting the Republican ticket including McCain/Palin and Frank Wolf.
First, the matter of integrity and honesty is paramount. John McCain and Frank Wolf are some of the best public servants that the nation has to offer. They know that they work for us. They stand out as men of truth and integrity who are interested in doing what is right for Virginia and the nation, not for feathering their own nests or constantly trying to grab power just for the sake of having power.
They are not caught up with the "Inside the Beltway" special interest groups that often capture elected officials. They have character and it shows in many ways.
Obama, a product of the corrupt Chicago Daley machine, is no reformer. His big fundraiser, who financed part of his house purchase, is now sitting in jail, a convicted felon.
Second, America's economic future is at stake. The issue of economic growth is very important to me. My retirement investment fund has taken a hit just like those of many of my fellow citizens. McCain and Wolf have the right answers to get our country moving again: Exploring for and producing more U.S. energy instead of sending billions to countries that would like to destroy us; keeping taxes low enough to encourage investment and jobs in the U.S.; supporting innovative and affordable health care proposals; reining in the trial lawyers and unnecessary government mandates that do not protect the American people; supporting science, engineering and technology studies and advancement and restraining federal spending.
If given the power, Obama and his friends in the Democratic Congress would significantly raise taxes on savings and even on small businesses, which generate the most jobs in the U.S. That is the worst possible thing you could do at this time as individuals and businesses thirst for funds to stay alive and create jobs. Where do Obama and the Democrats expect capital to come from to fund mortgages, car loans and business expansions if high taxation forces U.S. capital overseas? China and other foreign countries? Don't they own enough of America already?
President Reagan said of the Obama-type mentality: When something moves, they want to tax it. If it continues moving, they want to heavily regulate it. If it stops moving, they want to subsidize it. This essentially describes the financial mess we are in. President Clinton and his allies in the Congress encouraged and in some cases mandated banks and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to lend to people with bad credit records. And some greedy Wall Street types were delighted with this since they could generate fees for peddling these subprime mortgages.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that this meddling with the credit system would cause a collapse of the system when the folks with the bad credit began to default. John McCain and many of his Republican colleagues warned against this social engineering with bank and tax dollars. We can't put the architects of this crisis in complete control of the federal government. In addition to imposing more taxes, Obama and his Congressional allies want to continue to strain our economy with much more spending.
They have already proposed one trillion dollars more in government programs on top of the $700 billion bailout plan. Tax and spend. This is nothing new. This is not constructive change and reform. This is the same old liberal tax and spend. As large as it is, our economy can't take any more of this. Obama and friends even want to curtail trade in the international market despite the fact that U.S. exports are creating thousands of well-paying jobs for Americans. Obama and friends are clearly job killers and they would drive the economy into deep recession.
I am also very concerned about national security. We live in a very dangerous world where some people and nations just don't like us because we are free and because we are a wealthier country. Just sitting down to tea with dedicated enemies isn't going to make them like us any better. Chamberlin tried this with Hitler and millions of lives were lost because of this failed effort.
Obama and his left-wing allies in Congress display a dangerous naiveté about foreign policy which would encourage aggression from every tin pot dictator from Hugo Chavez of Venezuela to Ahmadinejad of Iran. They want to surrender our interests and allies in the Middle East where much of our energy comes from despite the progress we are making there and the sacrifice of our troops.
In Iraq, they would ignore the lesson of our earlier successful efforts to help defeat the Russians in Afghanistan only to close up shop there and leave a vacuum for the Taliban to fill. Now we are back in again there because we didn't follow through. China, Russia, terrorists around the world and North Korea continue to challenge us. There is tremendous instability in Africa.
We need sensible experienced people at the of our government. We need leaders like John McCain and Frank Wolf who want peace but they don't want it at the price of our freedom and they know you get it through strength.
Our beautiful soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin is also would be better at leading our nation in the future after a McCain Presidency than Senator Barak Obama would be in leading our nation in the future starting in January 2009 because of three areas which are as follows: ideology , experience, and accomplisments. Ideologically she is a conservative. Experientially she has two years of executive administrative governing experience . When it comes to accomplishments she accomplished 3 major things which are as follows: government reform, the state budget and the economy, and wise use of natural resources. She reformed government by standing up to the big oil companies by breaking up the monopoly on power and resources. She insisted on competition and basic fairness which ended the control that the oil companies had on the state, and thereby returning control of the state back to the people. She lead well in the state budget by generating a surplus which came about by vetoing a half billion dollars of wasteful spending. Economically under her leadership she brought about the largest private-sector infrastructure project in North American history. She also suspended the state fuel tax, and when oil and gas prices went up dramatically, and filled up the state treasury, she sent a large share of that revenue back where it belonged - directly to the people of Alaska . On natural resources she has shown great leadership by beginning a nearly forty billion dollar natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence, so please vote John McCain for President and give to our beautiful soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin the opportunity that she deserves leading the nation into the future after a John McCain presidency.
