Dear Friends:

Once again the resolve of our great nation is being tested. Not since the Great Depression have so many Americans been forced to endure such a sustained period of high unemployment and economic uncertainty. In spite of this evident crisis, there are still some in Congress who do not understand that this ongoing misery is the result of stale and ineffective policies that we have seen before. The Jimmy Carter agenda was disastrous for America in the 1970’s so it should be of no surprise that we’re struggling with the same problems now that the same agenda has been repackaged and adopted by President Obama.

President Obama’s policies and irresponsible rhetoric have continued to make matters worse and the evidence is all around us. The vast numbers of unemployed workers listed in nightly television reports represent real people who live in our neighborhoods. Meanwhile, those who are fortunate enough to still have jobs must cope with daily sacrifices and anxieties about an uncertain future. Every time we go to the grocery store and notice the skyrocketing prices of the most basic of necessities, such as eggs or milk, we’re reminded that the President’s talk is cheap.

New jobs and prosperity will never return to this country unless the politicians and bureaucrats in Washington untie the hands of job creators from the cobwebs of red tape and pessimism. The current administration has proven through its words and its actions that it is unwilling to take any such measures.
America doesn’t need politicians who will apologize for her. America doesn’t need yet another predictable speech. And right now, the last thing America needs is another cheerleader for President Obama in the US Senate. Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey has voted in lockstep with the President nearly 97% of the time. He is the President’s willing accomplice in prolonging our economic misery and so he must go.

America needs leaders

We have a tough road ahead of us. That is why we need elected officials with the courage and conviction to make the tough decisions to put this country on the right track. I fought and bled for my country in Vietnam and I fought for my fellow veterans to get jobs and respect afterwards. Now I’m ready to fight to secure a better future and a better economy for all of us who have been affected by this great recession.

The America I grew up in was the only place where anyone, including a kid from Levittown PA, with determination and a fighter’s spirit, could become a success and live comfortably. It was a beacon of hope for every oppressed heart and salvation for those willing to direct their own destinies. I have had the good fortune to travel the world and can tell you that there is still no other place like America. In these trying times, we need leaders who will fight to protect and nurture our “shining city on a hill.
