The ballots for this year’s 5th Congressional
District race in Colorado have been showing up in mailboxes across the
district. It may seem incidental in a year when our future is at stake in the
presidential election but it is anything but incidental! It is critical.
Doug Lamborn has comfortably settled into his seat in
Washington DC and has fallen into the trappings that have made voters so angry
at Washington politicians. He has participated in the earmark process and
although the funding he is supporting through earmarks can be defended, the
process cannot be. The only way to fix a bad process is to stop it and replace
it. If it continues to be used because “that’s the way it is in Washington”,
then it will never change.
Doug Lamborn and his wife have been travelling on the dime
of special interest lobbyists. Even if you agree with the positions of the
lobbyists, the process is broken. And again, Doug Lamborn is participating in a
process that most voters know is unethical. Doug Lamborn has been in Washington
too long. The only thing worse than travelling on a lobbyist’s dime, is
travelling on the taxpayer’s dime.
The most egregious activity our Congressman has participated
in has got to be his demonization of private business. He has lied about the
record of the businesses his opponent Robert Blaha has either run or created.
Conservatives are the advocate for business and the bureaucratic nightmare that
has been created by politicians in Washington should be the target of ridicule,
not the businesses and business people that are trying to navigate that maze.
Doug Lamborn would know that if he ever ran a business.
But you see Doug Lamborn has no experience in the real
economy. He is content to be a career politician. Granted he votes in a
conservative manner but he has never lived the way most of us do. Between being
a state politician and federal representative Doug Lamborn can’t understand the
difficult economic issues we face today.
God willing, Mitt Romney will be our next president and he
will need the support of representatives that understand how government
negatively impacts the private sector. Robert Blaha is that help that Romney
will need to get things turned around.
So as you open and fill out you Republican primary ballots
please think hard about sending Robert Blaha to congress. Don’t listen to the
lies of a desperate career politician. Go with what your instinct tells you. It
should be telling you it’s time for a passionate conservative businessman to
represent us in Washington; Robert Blaha…
