Think carefully before you cast your vote

If you want a chance for our country, the United States of America, to recover from this recession, then seriously consider voting for U.S., state and local candidates who want:

• No new taxes

• No new fees

• No new fines

• No new spending

• No new agencies

• No additional federal employees

• No more stimulus money (Did you know that the current administration’s firs stimulus was more than the cost of the whole seven years of the Iraq War?)

• No more regulations and mandates that further restrict our freedoms

• No more government interference between you and your doctor to dictate your treatment

All recently passed and proposed policy needs to be measured by freedom and individual rights.

Gerald Ford (Aug. 12, 1974) said: “A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.”

Margaret Thatcher (Feb. 5, 1976) said: “The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”

The country is changing, and not necessarily for the better. Your vote will indicate whether you prefer socialism or capitalism.

Vote carefully, folks.
