Republican Congressional Candidate Andy Harris

Today I will be on two radio shows:

Bill Reddish's show at 7:40am this morning on WICO 1320AM
PowerTalk with Jack Gillen at 11:10am on WQMR 101.1FM

Last week I announced how proud I was to have John McCain as the Republican nominee for President, and to be a member of the John McCain team in Maryland.

The presidential race will play a key roll in voters minds when they go to poll November 4, 2008 to vote both for the President and a Congressman. Who a congressional candidate supports tells voters how they will vote in Washington. Voters have a stark choice between John McCain and the two Democratic candidates - Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Individuals throughout our country have emphasized Clinton's radical liberal agenda is not the direction our nation should head, but she is actually not the most liberal person running for President. Barack Obama has a more liberal voting record than Hillary Clinton.

Both Obama and Clinton have proposed the largest spending increases in US History. Both will support higher taxes. By raising taxes, both Obama and Clinton will send our nation into a recession.

Voters in Maryland personally know that when Democratic candidates promise higher government spending, the result is higher taxes. Martin O'Malley promised to increase government spending and the result was a 1.5 billion dollar tax increase. Clinton and Obama are promising to increase government spending and the result will be every American paying more in taxes.

In contrast, McCain has promised to veto any bill that contains earmarks - wasteful government spending. He has promised time and time again to oppose all tax increases. Tax-payers have a choice between someone who will protect their wallets and someone who will steal money from it.

I have emphasized my support for John McCain. I have promised to oppose every tax increase and all wasteful government spending. My opponent has said he will support Clinton or Obama; neither of which is good for the voters of the first district.

When people are deciding how to vote in this congressional race, they need to look at who each of the congressional candidates are supporting for president. I support John McCain.

Thanks,

Andy
