REBECCA SCHNEIDER
A TRUE CHOICE FOR CHANGE!
Folks, there are many differences between Rebecca and her opponent. She actually cares about people and the nation and not just about big corporate interests.
Jeff Flake's record speaks for itself...and that voice isn't good for Arizona or District Six.
While there are some areas in which she and Mr. Flake agree - the need to eliminate wasteful spending being a big one - the differences are too big to ignore and too important to consider just voting along party lines.
In these times of great trial and turmoil for the country, you need to have someone who actually has your best interests at heart. Who better than someone who understands what it is like to struggle - something Mr. Flake has never had to do. He doesn't have to sacrifice to feed his family, pay for his house or car. He hasn't been in your shoes.
Rebecca has and understands.
She offers common sense solutions that should be implemented but aren't because they don't benefit corporate America. She will fight against that "benefit the wealthy only" attitude to help families and small business.
So, read about Mr. Flake's voting record in the next two columns. Understand that Ms. Schneider would vote the exact opposite because she cares about YOUR family and well-being as well as that of the country.
Mr. Flake's record is clear: he votes against helping children, the elderly, teens, women, small business and our brave men and women in uniform. He doesn't care about the environment, animals or how the world will look 30 years from now.
Mr. Flake is adamantly against earmarks. All well and good when standing up to pork barrel spending. But it isn't such a good thing to be rigidly ideological if it is hurting people. We deserve to have our fair share of our tax monies come back to help our district, our children, our families.
Mr. Flake's claim to "fame" is saving taxpayer money... meanwhile he lets you sink financially and have bridges literally collapse under your feet. All the while, he is ensuring that your Constitutional rights to protest such treatment are no longer there to protect you.
So, the choice is quite clear: elect a Representative that actually represents YOU or elect a man so intent on holding to his doctrine of "small government" (while allowing the most egregious descent into borrowing and debt this nation has ever seen) that he neglects to help the people who put him into office.
Do you want a better life for your family? Do you want your savings to support you in your well-earned retirement? Do you want clean, green technologies that will enable America to cease its dependence on foreign oil and provide well-paying jobs to its citizens?
OR
Do you want a world where your children will never attend college because the costs are too high and all the good jobs are in India and China anyway?
Do you believe our brave men and women of the military deserve our gratitude and assistance when they return home from war...especially if they return home gravely injured? Do you support our police and fire departments?
Folks, if any of these things are true, then you need to vote for Rebecca Schneider regardless of your party. She will fight against waste, will fight for transparency and ethical legislating, but will also defend your rights, defend your future.
There really is no choice between a man who broke his word about limiting his time in office and a woman who truly has walked in your shoes.
Isn't it time that YOUR voice was TRULY heard in Washington?
Rebecca IS that voice and she has the courage to use it!
