Do you share the frustration my friends and I have been discussing for several years? Are you concerned with the national debt and you feel that no one cares or will listen? Do you agree that it's a big deal to go from the number 10 to 16 in just four years when talking about trillions?
That is why I consider this election the most important of our lives. I also think the congressional race is the place where we can have the greatest impact and in that regard I support Ben Lange. He stands squarely behind a balanced budget even when others in his party may not. He understands that this nation is faced with a ticking time bomb of debt that must be addressed. He also understands that both parties in Washington have kicked this can down the road too long. He has three kids and he knows that we are burdening that generation with uncontrollable obligations.
For the sake of our futures, our kids and grandkids, I urge you to vote for Lange.
