Clear choices in Aurora District 83

You may not be perfectly happy with the choices you will have in this November's upcoming elections, but at least the two major parties offer significantly different approaches to a number of vital issues.

The Democratic Party is strongly influenced by Chicken Littles who always seem to be yelling that the sky is falling (if it's not something like global warming, then it's global cooling like it was about 30 years ago).

It is also dominated by people who want bigger government and higher taxes; people who overregulate practically everything and thus drive up their prices (e.g., oil and gasoline); people who push permissive social policies that have practically destroyed the black family (the vast majority of whose children grow up in single-parent homes) and are in the process of ruining families in general and who seem obsessed with taking this country back thousands of years by unreasonably pandering to homosexuals.

Republicans, by no means perfect, at least generally stand for lower taxes, less government regulation and smaller government, less permissive social policies, and higher moral standards.

They tend to be more protective of innocent life, while the radically pro-abortion Democrats seem more protective of "guilty life" by generally being opposed to capital punishment even for guilty criminals.

The race for state rep in the Aurora-area 83rd district, between the strongly pro-life and pro-family Republican, Joan Solms, and Democrat Linda Chapa LaVia, will offer voters one of the clearer contrasts this November.

Please vote for Solms.
