Make right choice, vote Republican
Jeff Koonankeil Colchester
Publication: The Day
Our state and our country are at a crossroads. As citizens, it is our votes that will determine whether we continue down the path of self-inflicted financial ruin or the one that not only brings us back from the brink but changes course to one of financial strength. In this election, the Democratic and Republican parties on both a state and national level are presenting the voters with a clear and distinct choice of what path they will lead us down if they are elected.
The Democratic Party's path to prosperity consists of an ever larger government that taxes us more, spends more and seeks to control the economy by picking winners and losers.
The Republican Party seeks to lead us down a different path. This path consists first and foremost of being true to the Constitution's foundational principles of limited government and respect for individual freedoms. This path also consists of the principle that it is individuals operating in a fairly, but not overly, regulated free market economy that brings prosperity to all Americans.
The choice is yours and it cannot be any clearer what the consequences of your decision will be.
