What I would do...
1. Support farm legislation |
My positions 1. I support farm bill legislation to protect the owners of farming assets and those who sell or service farming operations. The result of any unprotected drop in crop prices would be catastrophic for the region—with a massive sell-off of devalued farm property, sinking property values generally, and a severe impact on general business in the regiond. 2. I would champion public participation in regional economic development. It took a lot of hard work, sweat and tears to create the economy we have out here on the Plains, but let’s not forget that it was government working with people that brought the land rush. We still need a vigorous public/private partnership to reach our full potential. 3. I pledge to hold the line on taxes and spending and work with bi-partisan efforts to make real progress on balancing the budget. “A river of cash runs through Washington and frankly the opposition party has been spending excessively on projects that benefit mainly the narrow interests clustered around the White House—and apparently has never seen a war it didn’t like. 4. I will work with those who have sensible solutions to the hot-button issues that vex society at every level. I will respect my constituents’ viewpoints and be guided by them as long as they make sense. Our religious, moral and cultural values are quite conservative and well known to me—and I recognize the wisdom and survival value in them. I can be a useful go-between as our region develops and as I remind our urban friends just how extreme some of their ideas and ways of living can be. More... |
