Scott Walker is achieving results

To the editor:

For too long, politicians in this country have taken the easy road rather than implementing the changes necessary to fix our broken government.

It's time that we take our country back. We need elected officials who have the courage to enact conservative reforms with lasting impacts.

After hearing Scott Walker speak, it's clear no one knows big, bold ideas like he does. He courageously implemented Act 10, which limited collective bargaining, ending years of taxpayer abuse by public-sector union bosses. It may be his best-known accomplishment, but it's far from his only success.

While others simply talk about conservative solutions, Walker is implementing them and achieving results. He's delivered on his promise to provide tax relief, and his policies have helped to drastically lower unemployment in Wisconsin. Walker stood his ground despite fierce opposition from thousands of protesters who targeted the Wisconsin state Capitol and even his home. He won three elections in four years, proving that Republicans can win consistently if they stay true to the principles of limited government and fiscal conservatism.

If more Republicans led like Walker has, we could win all across America. Real reform starts with courageous leadership, and it's time the United States had real leadership in Washington, D.C.
