Speaker Pelosi and Congress have embarked on a big government agenda that threatens our personal freedom and will prolong our economic downturn. The stakes in the upcoming elections could not be higher. This election is an important turning point for our nation – we can either continue to spend beyond our means and amass mountains of debt, or we can return to the free market principles that have built and guided our nation since its founding. If you join me, and take up the 10 for 10 for Change Challenge, together, we can meet the challenges facing us and build an America that is strong and prosperous.
We will win this race but I need your help:
1. Read the 10 for 10 for Change Challenge. If you like what you read, please click here to contribute $10 or mail a check to my campaign .*
2. Forward this link 10 for 10 for change challenge along with a short note to at least 10 of your contacts ask them to do the same. Don’t limit your list to Rhode Islanders — this is an important race and we have thousands of out-of-state donors.
3. Follow up with your list and encourage them to follow up and send to 10 of their friends. There is great power in numbers, if you can encourage just 10 people to donate just 10 dollars, and they encourage 10 friends to donate 10 dollars… well you get the picture. With your help, this challenge can “go viral” and help us bring about real change!
10 for 10 for Change Challenge
1. I want to cut your taxes to create jobs. I will propose that we cut taxes across the board for individuals and businesses to create jobs and boost the economy. Its time we get serious about creating private sector jobs and growing our economy.
2. I believe that terrorists are enemy combatants. We are at war with Islamic extremists and other terror groups and must stop the practice of treating terrorism as a law enforcement matter. Terrorists should face military justice and not be treated as ordinary criminals in our civil court system.
3. I support the Constitution. Duties not specifically designated to the federal government under the U.S. Constitution belong to the states. We are a union of states and government must be conducted as close to the people as possible. Washington is the problem, not the solution.
4. Cut the pork, end earmarks. I will call for an end to the earmark process and will only seek funding that has been reviewed as part of the appropriations process. All spending must be voted up or down in the light of day.
5. I’ll enforce pay-go rules. Pay-as-you-go should mean just that. I will not support new spending that is not paid for by cuts in other areas.
6. I say Congress must follow the laws they pass. Congress must equally abide in all laws they impose on the American people. I will call for an immediate end to the practice of exclusions in law for Congress from the laws made to govern the rest of us. If it’s good enough for us then it’s good enough for Congress!
7. It’s time to end pensions for Members of Congress. Pensions encourage “careerism” and public service was never meant to be a ticket to an easy retirement. Members of Congress can contribute to IRAs and 401Ks if they choose, just like the rest of us.
8. I’m for LEGAL immigration. We must stop illegal immigration. We must secure our borders, put in place a workable employer verification system and reject amnesty for those who have come here illegally. We welcome those who follow the laws and enter this country legally.
9. I’ll just say NO to more bailouts and failed stimulus plans. We can’t continue to throw good money after bad. No country has ever spent its way out of debt and it’s not going to start now. Every man, woman and child owes more than $40,000 in debt. Congress needs to stop deficit spending NOW.
10. I support a pay freeze for Congress. We should not be borrowing money to pay for automatic raises for Members of Congress. We’ve all had to cut back and it’s time for Congress to do the same. We need to implement a pay freeze until we are deficit-free.
Let’s face it, I’m the only thing that stands between you and Nancy Pelosi having one more solid vote for her extreme left-wing agenda.
Your $10 and your friends’ $10 will help ensure that Rhode Island once again sends a balanced delegation to Washington and a congressman who will do more than rubber stamp Nancy Pelosi’s far left wing agenda.
The 10 for 10 for Change Challenge is one answer to the Democratic machine– please help by contributing $10 and finding 10 others to do the same.
Thank you!
