[The Democrats'] vision for the future: socialized medicine and Washington-run health care.

History shows that tax increases during a recession are a recipe for greater unemployment and economic loss.

I know of not one Republican candidate that would not appear publicly with Mitt Romney, and I know many Democrats that don't even want to be in the same city - forget the same stage - with President Obama.

If you look at what is happening in Republican conventions across the country, they are energized. And the message is really the same - that is, big government is a problem, spending is a problem.

Simply put, ObamaCare cost Americans jobs through uncertainty and now implementation threatens even more jobs. No wonder the majority of Americans continue to oppose it.

Our nation's Social Security Trust Fund is depleting at an alarming rate, and failure to implement immediate reforms endangers the ability of Americans to plan for their retirement with the options and certainty they deserve.

I love you and believe in you. If you want my ear/voice — e-mail.
