Wouldn’t it be great if we had leaders in Washington who truly cared and worked for the good of the nation rather than personal and political perpetuation of power?
Political correctness and social agendas are important, but these issues are meaningless and unobtainable without a bedrock of security. This nation is vulnerable in so many ways. We need representation in Congress that is not afraid to take on and work in a bipartisan way for solutions to critical issues. We must have four secure borders and, with that, immigration reform. We must be protected against a recurrence of 9/11. We must have economic stabilization, fair and equitable taxation and, instead of sleight of hand, a solution to our social security system that will not leave our children and grandchildren bereft of benefits. We must have energy independence. We must provide the men and women of our Reserves and National Guard the same benefits on demobilization as we do the Regular Army.
Only a practicing physician knows the depth and extent of the mess health care delivery is in, and only the ignorant and the dreamers believe in a utopian government-run fix.
The primary election is June 3. Register Republican, even if only for this election, and vote for Mariannette Miller-Meeks to represent the Second Congressional District. Mariannette will work selflessly for each and every one of you on the key issues that can carry us into a bright future. Mariannette exemplifies the independence, wisdom, energy and courage we need in Washington. Don’t think of her within narrow-minded party lines — she is an Iowan, she is a physician, and she will vigorously work to heal that which is sick and broken in Washington!
