Have you met Joe yet?


Have you met Joe?

If you have attended any public meetings in the area you might have seen a familiar face at some of them. That face could be Joe Walsh, it seems he is going around to the neighborhoods of the 8th District and asking residents what they think. He is involved in what concerns the community. Joe is also asking for your vote this November to represent us in Congress. Can you imagine someone that comes into the District on a regular basis talking to the people and even more shocking he plans on living in the 8th District. This is something we have not had in the past six years. So have you met Joe yet?

Bean Campaign Money

The majority of Congresswoman Bean's campaign comes from Political Action Committees not from the people of the 8th District. She has not really started her quest for campaign money, how much more will the PACs spend to keep their candidate in office. The 8th District needs a candidate from the community. This November we have the opportunity to vote in someone that will represent the people, Joe Walsh.

Joe Walsh Promise


From Joe Walsh for Congress:

I will lead by example and act as a Citizen Legislator - the type of person our Founding Fathers envisioned. My pledge to you is as follows:

  1. I will not serve more than 3 terms in the House (6 years), if so privileged.
  2. I will not receive any health plans or retirement benefits that only congressmen get and that aren’t available to all Americans.
  3. I will not vote for any legislation which increases the size of government or isn’t supported by the Constitution.
  4. I will never add an earmark to any bill.
  5. I will always speak my mind and tell my constituents the truth.
  6. I will always be accessible to my constituents and hold town halls on a regular basis, in good times or bad

We need to get Americans to feel good about their government again.

VOTE


Now is the time for all good citizens to come to the aid of their country by voting. Our country is at a cross road between the Liberty left to us by our Forefathers and the path to socialism that Obama, Pelosi, and Bean want to lead us to. Stand up and be counted, VOTE.
