Beveridge can beat Bean in November

We have many problems in this country right now because of apathy, undeserving trust in those that we have elected and too many "professional politicians."

I believe that to start cleaning up this mess, we have to start in our own backyards.

Melissa Bean is a professional politician with a war chest of millions of dollars from PACS and special interest groups from outside the 8th District. In this election cycle, character counts.

One candidate in the Republican primary race has little.

Joe Walsh has worked political campaigns as a professional manager, has lost two races, flip-flops on issues and doesn't even live in the 8th District.

Dirk Beveridge is a patriot and has spent years building and sustaining an organization that honors our service people. He also knows the issues, has had to make a payroll as a small-business owner and is running to help clean up our back yard.

A vote for Dirk is a vote for an honest, hardworking man who will do the right thing for us in Congress. He is a man of proven principle and character. More, importantly, he is the also the only candidate that has shown the capability to beat Melissa Bean in November.
