Traditional values important to Blum

I support Rod Blum for election to the U.S. House of Representatives and Joni Ernst for election to the U.S. Senate.

Blum has created several good jobs by starting businesses over the past years. He will be a statesman and not a career politician because he has businesses and employees to return to, as our Founding Fathers intended. He believes in free enterprise, personal responsibility, limited government, traditional values, individual freedom and a strong military.

For three decades Tom Harkin's votes consistently canceled Sen. Chuck Grassley's senate votes. Ernst will work with, not against, Grassley. I can't wait to hear her debate Bruce Braley.

In May, Braley told his trial lawyer buddies that not having a law degree and having a farm background are liabilities in politics. Braley needs to listen to the song 'The Great American Farmer,” as well as, hear Paul Harvey's 1978 speech, 'So God Made a Farmer.” He will discover that being a successful farmer requires knowledge, not only in the area of law, but requires being 'a jack of all trades and master of all.” Most of all, being a farmer requires wisdom or 'common sense” which is desperately lacking in politics today.

Therefore, vote for Ernst and Blum on Nov. 4.
