John Fleming For Congress

Mar-28-2008 By tyralyn

I’m not overly politically inclined most of the time. I feel that we should support whomever we feel is best suited for their seat. I also feel that we should support whomever gets the seat, whether we like them or not. Now, with that said, I have to say that I’m liking some of what I see when I look at Louisiana’s 4th Congressional district candidate, Dr John Fleming.

He is taking a stance to help the people. He wants to control illegal immigration, which is a major problem in almost every state now. People are crossing the border illegally and situating themselves in jobs that could be taken by capable Americans who can’t find work. John Fleming feels that the borders need to be secured and that illegal aliens be required to return to their home, rather than giving them amnesty. He also wants to cut off funds to states that consider themselves to be sanctuaries for illegal immigrants.

He wants to cut spending and lower taxes, but he doesn’t want to compromise the path to defeating terrorism. He feels that the people who need the most help should be the ones to get it. He wants to help Americans pull themselves above the poverty line, where so many of us have fallen, especially those affected by Katrina.

The only thing that I don’t like when looking at John Fleming is that he wants to protect the right to life and traditional values. I can understand his standpoint, but I don’t agree with him. I feel that everyone, no matter their life choice, should have the right to choose to live their life as they see fit.

These are just a few things to consider if you live in Louisiana and are considering voting John Fleming for congress.
