Reader: Voters Can Make A Difference
To the Editor:
The voters in Congressional District 9 will have an opportunity to bring about change in the direction our country is going:
1. If you approve of the unnecessary war in Iraq to protect the oil interests;
2. If you approve of the men and women who have lost their lives fighting this unnecessary war;
3. If you approve of the debt our country is in — which probably won’t be paid off for years to come (we leave this debt to our grandchildren);
4. If you approve of offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico (which we were promised would never happen);
5. If you approve of the huge do-nut hole in your prescription D medication;
6. If you approve of the changes in the Medicare program;
7. If you approve of the way our veterans are being treated after they have served our country;
8. If you approve of the huge tax cuts given to the richest 1% of the population;
9. If you approve of the increases in our homeowners’ insurance which Congress promised to help;
10. If you approve of taking public money and giving it to private and parochial schools;
11. If you approve of the 11-12 million illegal immigrants in our country;
12. If you approve of the 20,000 men and women who are returning from the war in Iraq injured and dismembered…
If you approve of the way our country has been run for the last 6 years and want to continue to see it run downhill, then you will vote for Gus Bilirakis.
However, if you want to bring about a change in our country, and you want to see changes for the working class and poor people of our country, you will vote for Phyllis Busansky. This time, show everyone else that no one “inherits” a seat in Congress! Show everyone else that we, the people do matter!
