Sowers will bring new leadership

This November, let's focus on finding common ground: We need better solutions coming out of Washington. Incumbents of both parties spend their time talking past each other instead of moving our country forward, and our taxes pay for it.

Jo Ann Emerson is no exception; she voted for CAFTA, which cost thousands of factory workers, like my parents, their jobs. She voted for TARP, the bailout that rewarded Wall Street for crippling Main Street. Now she's sponsoring a $165 billion bailout we just can't afford. She's been there too long -- we need new leadership and new ideas.

Tommy Sowers will end the bailouts and bad trade deals, and he will bring jobs back to our home. He'll finally get us the cell phone service and high speed Internet businesses need for success. Tommy will fight for term limits, so career politicians -- like Emerson and Nancy Pelosi -- go back home. Vote new blood: vote Tommy Sowers for Congress.
