Endorsement Letter: Vote for Price

Posted on October 28, 2010October 28, 2010 by Staff

Several years ago, I and some others met with Rep. David Price to discuss the importance of local-access TV. I continue to be impressed by Congressman Price’s practical, focus-on-the-doable approach to problems. Price does not promise pie-in-the-sky actions. He consistently represents us with intelligence and grounded integrity.

David Price’s support of good education for all, more federal college help and easier loan repayments are needed more than ever in an economic downturn to train Americans for jobs that become available across the country amid repeated job changes throughout our lives.

Price fosters realistic job and business development, knowing that public-private partnerships have been a way to get things done for over a decade, here and abroad. Infrastructure is necessarily a government responsibility and benefits both public and private sectors.

His opponent, Lawson, presents copies of the Constitution as his mark of honesty, but he is a Libertarian pretending to be a Republican, promoting policies that do not recognize all our interconnectedness in the global economy. What happens to those whose jobs disappear when a business collapses?

David Price is wise, experienced and cognizant of the interplay of many issues as he chairs the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee. Price supports a sensible immigration policy enforced fairly.

We must retain those who act with human decency in Congress. Re-elect David Price.

    Representative Price is a career politician. He has voted for every pricey bill that his party has asked for him to support, despite our country’s inability to pay for these. And he knows we can’t pay. But this buys him political capital from unions, special interest groups, and his cohorts in Congress. He complains that our country is spending too much, yet he is one of the biggest spenders in Congress… TARP, Obamacare… you name it. Our country is now facing $14 trillion dollars in debt, yet he continues to spend, spend, spend. He accuses BJ Lawson of wanting to do away with the Department of Education. That’s the FEDERAL D.O.E. … you know, the one that’s responsible (but won’t accept responsibility) for the steady decline in our educational system’s performance over the last two decades. Did you know that from 2009-2010 the DOE ‘s discretionary spending (budgeted + additional stimulus money) amounted to about $150 BILLION dollars? Where’s the beef? Where did this money go? Is Dr. Lawson not right to say we would benefit more if we cut out the middle man and keep our education tax dollars in our state?
