For effective change, support Rathje

George Washington once asked what I believe is still an appropriate question: 'Where are our men of abilities? Why do they not come forth to save their country?” Fortunately, a local business man is stepping forward - Steve Rathje.
My family visited with Rathje. He is not just saying we need change, he actually has a plan to make those changes. How refreshing!
I encourage you to look at his website or go hear him speak. He is not a politician. Rathje vowed he is 'not going to DC to make a living.” He has successfully done that here. He is 'going to DC to make a difference.” That is the heartbeat of his 1st District campaign.
