Our Monday Message From Senator Andy Haris


Friends,


Last week was another very exciting week for our campaign. We launched our first television ad of the campaign on Tuesday. (Visit the "Media and Video" section of our website to view it). We also received the endorsement of former Republican Governor Bob Ehrlich. Governor Ehrlich helped our campaign bring in over $50,000 at the event on Thursday night.


During this last week, Governor O'Malley also announced that a Special Session will begin on October 29, 2007. Right after his announcement, he left the state to go to Ireland. Maryland faces a serious budget issue, and the governor decided instead of continuing to deal with the issue, he would take a trip to Ireland. If O'Malley was willing to work hard, we could solve this deficit with NO NEW TAXES. The Maryland General Assembly has been spending money it does not have, and now we face a 1.5 billion dollar structural deficit. If the growth of spending in state government is limited to a responsible rate, the deficit can be solved without raising taxes. When our family budgets get tight, we do not spend as much money. The same should be the case with government.


Liberal Democrats in DC are doing the same thing that liberal Democrats in Annapolis are trying to do to Maryland, and our congressman is helping them do it. The incumbent has voted for over 30 billion dollars in new taxes this year alone. To put that in perspective, the entire state budget of Maryland is 31.5 billion dollars. Maryland's 1st Congressional District deserves a congressman who supports fiscal responsibility. I will NEVER vote for a single tax increase and will oppose all wasteful government spending.


Thanks,


Andy

I love that people are making their decision for who leads our nation based on personal feelings. We try and teach our children to make informed decisions based upon facts, yet here you are acting like a petulant, spoiled child. Way to set an example for future generations. You bitch about the future of our country, yet you are unwilling to make the right change because someone ruined your oatmeal onetime. Grow up! My kids might be smarter.

So what your saying is that you would vote for someone the KKK supported.
I bet you would.
