Laesch up to task of changing direction

Outside of watching C-Span and reading an occasional e-mail, I haven't been deeply involved in local politics. Why be a part of the problem in this country?

But that was before I met John Laesch, candidate for Congress in the 14th District.

John's deep commitment to the middle class, the working families of America, not special interests and the corporate elite (that would rather we stay out of their way), has inspired me to be a part of the solution.

John is determined to change the course of this country by creating a new business model: one that expands economic prospects for the hard-working citizen and small business owner instead of multinational corporations.

Laesch knows the U.S. needs policies that will benefit all Americans, rather than the interests of the wealthy few. I am tired of the status quo, the influential few reaping the rewards that should be shared by all Americans.

My vote on Feb. 5 will go to John Laesch, not just once in the general primary, but twice, in a second vote in a special primary in the 14th District.

John is up to the task of changing our country's direction.
