Common Sense

Editor, Times-Union:
My opponent, Rep. Wolkins, said it was OK for lobbyists to buy legislators’ votes as long as they took him to sporting events because, as he said it so eloquently, they know I like my sporting events. Just so you know that, but I digress.

I have actually received no funds from any union or union member and my disclosure to the elections commission will show that when we file a pre-primary report in April. I am in fact for the people because I am the people. People are sick and tired of the same old politics from happening.

Your post shows just that mentality. I could run on the New Polar Bear Party ticket and my goals still remain the same – smaller government, education reform, RTW and getting people off welfare and back to work.

You said many people in Indiana want to cut government interference so jobs can be created, however, we haven't seen this and you elude to grace us with whom these people are.

RTW doesn't magically create jobs, in fact in RTW states, the last being Oklahoma in the early 2000s, manufacturing decreased 30 percent and unemployment raised several percent.

However, I don't care if CEOs make a billion dollars a year, salaries are given on profitability of companies. Its simple economics, but to lay off hard-working Hoosier families who are both Democrats and Republicans as well as Independents; ask for a taxpayer bailout and then receive a huge severance package is reprehensible and goes against common decency.

You say I do not understand life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, I would have to disagree. Our government has stifled us from it long enough. It is time for us to come together as Hoosiers and build our brave state back to its glory.

With 9 percent unemployment, 11th in the nation in housing foreclosures and a $300 million cut in education I say its time to put the political rhetoric behind us and bring common sense back to Indianapolis. Don't you?
