Vote for Romney, Warren and Newby
        I hear story after story of employers not hiring additional workers due to Obamacare – Obama has cost us jobs! Medicare is going bankrupt, and Obama has no plan to save it.
GM has not repaid its debt to taxpayers: it is struggling and wasn’t saved. GM’s union was paid off at the expense of middle-class investors and their retirement funds.
Obama is substituting failed centralized control for capitalism, which made us a strong nation economically and gave us freedoms that are envied around the world.
Our spiraling debt is making us weak internationally. How can we stand up to China when they own us? Iran will have nuclear weapons in six months, and Obama is too busy with pop culture icons and campaigning to meet with Israeli leader Netanyahu. Planned terrorist attacks and other violence in the Middle East – Obama’s policies have failed.
We need Romney to lead our economy, to protect our freedoms and to stand with our allies and against our enemies!
At the state level, Rep. Harry Warren helped strengthen education, our job environment and our freedoms. Our teachers have their first raise in years and reduced paperwork, freeing up more time for their real job – teaching. The state budget was balanced without raising taxes. The job-creation environment was improved by reducing paperwork for businesses. Annexation was reformed. If Perdue hadn’t vetoed it, we’d have a voter ID law. We must keep Rep. Warren in the N.C. House.
We must re-elect Justice Paul Newby to the State Supreme Court. Without him, the court tilts liberal, and the court will stop the legislature’s and our next governor’s efforts. Paul Newby must be marked separately on your ballot (not covered by straight party vote).Romney. Warren. Newby. We need them!
