I am asking for your vote to send me to the United States Congress. Why vote for me? Here are a few questions I would ask you:

• Can you name at least 2 bills Congressman Linder has sponsored, co-sponsored or championed over his 16 years in Congress? If not, read on.
• Do you believe that the deficits must stop and the budget balanced? If so, read on.
• Do you believe that the best predictor of future success is a track record of past successes? If so, read on.
• Do you want elected officials that are not career politicians? If so, read on.
• Do you want your elected officials to address and solve our Nations’ problems? If so, read on.
• Do you want an end to pork-barrel spending and earmarks? If so, read on.
• While not a prerequisite for Congress, do you believe that a combat veteran brings a useful perspective to our national discourse? If so, read on.

I believe our forefathers had in mind that good men and women from varied walks of life would come to Washington to serve for a finite period of time. Power and special interests have warped our system. Please give me the opportunity to serve you. I pledge to lead and to help achieve real solutions through hard work and reasonable compromise.
