"VOTE EARLY !!!"

Howdy Neighbor,
As your Congressman, I will work diligently to achieve the following 4 objectives.

1. Economy Our economy is the organism that keeps America alive. The economy is tanking, and until sound economic principles are applied, it will continue to tank. At the top of my priority list: reducing wasteful federal spending, borrowing, and inflating of the currency. Reducing the federal take on taxes so more money can stay in Colorado is number two on my list. Number three on the list is to eliminate incentives for businesses to go overseas -- and eliminating penalties for them staying in America.

2. Education Providing quality education for our children will strengthen the economy when they become adults and future leaders. But education in this country continues to slip, and there are those who do get left behind. Let's work to put more control of the quality of education back in the hands of the parents and at the local level.

3. Immigration The working wage has been driven down, year after year, by the arrival of countless undocumented immigrants who are then eligible to receive benefits programs and packages that are funded by U.S. taxpayers and bankrupting the system.

4. Military We are trying to maintain a global empire and have become overextended. We have troops in 700 bases spread out in over 130 countries worldwide. Let's scale back on our global ambition and military presence -- bring the troops home to defend our borders. The amount of money we will save when we stop trying to run and police the world will be better spent here in our own country, where Congress -- with an 11% approval rating -- is doing a very poor job.
