Mr. Arvanites: What is your plan to make a America fiscaly sound and prosperous? I am much more interested in what you have to say and what positive ideas you will bring to Congress as oposed to your putting down your oponent. Yes I am a Republican and yes I like Rodney and as of now plan to vote for hm. However, I am open minded and sometimes vote for the other party when they offer good ideas and good people and sound public policy. What are your ideas? I hope you can keep things positive. Some people think the problem is not under taxation but over spending by goverment and hence some people like the Norquist pledge. You can disagree with that idea if you want but it would be nice if you did so in a civil way and explain the other point of view. Why do you think additional taxes will improve things? Between state local and federal taxes many in your district pay 40% or more in taxes on what they make in one form or an other in the district you are running in. Explain to us why we should pay more and how it will improve things if we pay more? We vote know taxation is need for government to work. The quesiton is how much and how it will be spent? I will listen respectfuly to your answers and I think most voters will too. Run a positive campaign and I might call you Congressman: Good luck.
