Congressional Candidate Andy Harris

Friends,

I hope each of you enjoyed your Easter Holiday.

During the last few weeks, the democratic presidential race has focused on who is most ready to answer a 3am phone call. Many of you will remember the Hillary ad that talked about the need to have a president qualified to receive the 3am phone call. Click Here to see the ad. The thing I found most amusing about the ad is that neither Obama nor Hillary are ready to receive the 3am phone call.

Obama is a first term US Senator who has zero foreign policy credentials. He cites growing up overseas as a foundation on which he would build his foreign policy. Obama has proven time and time again he is not ready ready to lead our military in the fight against radical Islam.

Hillary's only experience is being married to a President. She cites her marriage to Bill while he was dealing with foreign policy as evidence she is ready to lead on foreign policy. The problem is that the Clinton Administration had the worst foreign policy in our nation's history. He allowed Al Qaeda to build a network in multiple nations around the world. When he had the opportunity to catch Osama bin Laden, Clinton did nothing and the result was our nation being attacked on September 11. Our nation does not need another Bill Clinton based foreign policy.

In contrast, John McCain is ready to lead on day one. John McCain is the only presidential candidate who has served in the military. He is a decorated war veteran with decades of experience on foreign policy in the US Congress. When McCain gets a phone call at 3am, I am confident he will know what is in our nation's best interest. That is one of the many reasons I am proud to support John McCain for President.

When people decide who to vote for in Maryland first congressional district, they should consider who the candidates are supporting for President. My democrat opponent supports Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. I support John McCain.

God Bless,

Andy
