Fennimore Times – Thursday, August 26 2010
Dear Editor
It was a year that few will forget.
In 2008 we watched as markets rose to some of their highest highs…and then crashed. Amid the turmoil, frustration, and confusion, America got caught up in a move for “Change”. Voters went to the ballot boxes sparked by hope and expecting something better. Is that what we got…better? National debt has exploded. States are bankrupt. Access to credit has been denied while access to new dysfunctional health care has been approved. And economic growth has been anything but. America asked for something better, but “Change” for the worse is what we got. It is time for something better. It is time for real change…not one offered by career politicians entrenched in party politics who only glad-hand their constituents for a vote and then pursue their own political paths. We all must take an active interest in the direction of our country. If you are like me, you detest what politics have become as much as the people who have mastered its game. But we can’t walk away from the game just because we don’t like our team. We get a new team – one made of real people who represent our real interests; one that has demonstrated successfully their ability to balance a checkbook, pay their taxes, conduct themselves in an upright manner, and make hard decisions without crumpling under the pressure or passing the buck. We are fortunate to have such a candidate in the 49th Assembly race in southwest WI. That candidate is Travis Tranel! Join me in voting for change we can live with. Vote for Travis!
Sincerely,
Mike North
Platteville, WI
