Gay: Please Vote for Brown, Garcia

By Betty Gay

A couple of my friends were upset about some disagreements with their party’s candidate and were considering not voting. But that equals voting for their opponents, who support the President on issues that scare me to death:

[1] Obama’s delayed, half-hearted response to ISIS, as they slaughter and behead everyone they don’t like, including children, is his failure to stand up to another Holocaust.

[2] In 2008 Obama promised withdrawal of all American troops from Iraq over the objections of our generals and his own advisor, Leon Panetta. He boasted for years about doing it. Now he’s blaming Malaki for his decision.

[3] Obama’s assurances that “the chances of ebola happening here is extremely unlikely” lulled U.S. hospitals into complacency, rather than ramping up intense training and protective gear.

[4] Obama continues to reject closing American airports to travelers coming from nations with ebola epidemics.

[5] Obama refuses to stop the immigration of hundreds of thousands of illegal, unaccompanied children, endangering the children and burdening Americans in many ways.

[6] Obama negotiated with the Taliban to exchange five terrorists for Army Sgt. Bergdahl, a deserter in Afghanistan, but he fails to demand the return of a Marine with a Purple Heart and PTSD from Mexico. Marine Sgt. Tahmooressi accidentally got trapped in a traffic lane funneling into Mexico. (TV newscaster Greta Van Susteren documented how easy it was to be misdirected by poor signage and lane design with no options to turn around, which has since been improved.)

[7] Obama’s Justice Department continues to prosecute voter ID laws, and is pushing to give illegal immigrants drivers’ licenses, one more way to promote illegal voting.

The only way to overcome Congressional gridlock is to replace the Senate Democrat Majority Leader with a Republican. Reid is blocking a vote on over 175 bills.

And the only way to stop this Administration’s policies is to elect a Congress who can overrule Obama’s vetos. The only NH 2nd Congressional candidates who will not support 99% of Obama policies are Marilinda Garcia and Scott Brown.
