Pick Rick 2010!
My name is Rick Martel and I am running as the Republican candidate for the Maryland Senate, District 12. I am a resident of Catonsville, an attorney in Catonsville and a parishioner at St. Agnes Church. I have been married to Kim Martel for thirty years. We have five wonderful children and two precious grandchildren. As a lawyer for the past twenty-seven years, my professional interests have revolved around representing private citizens.
During the past four years, the Democrat monopoly power in Annapolis has acted with outrageous and unprecedented fiscal irresponsibility. In the face of a terrible recession, they have continued to spend money which we do not have and have overtaxed us in every way, disregarding what hard-working Marylanders really want for ourselves and our children. Just as individuals and families have to cut expenses and do without when times are tough, so too must responsible State government.
Senator Ed Kasemeyer has been in public office for well over twenty years. He is a liberal supporter of Governor O’Malley and votes for State Senate President Mike Miller lock, stock and barrel. Are you really better off now than you were four years ago? It is time to send a clear message to Annapolis that enough is enough! It is time to send home career politicians like Senator Kasemeyer, who have lost touch with the real people in the real communities in which we live. Tell them we want representatives who know what it’s like to live, work or run a business in Maryland.
If what has occurred in the last four years in Annapolis concerns you, then it should not be difficult to contribute to this important campaign. We anticipate that since this will be a grassroots campaign, we will need to raise $50,000 for this effort. And the giving of your time and skills would make a huge difference. Please complete the commitment card enclosed herein, make checks payable to ‘Friends of Rick Martel’ and send to me as soon as possible so we can make a real difference restoring fiscal responsibility in Annapolis. Visit my website, http://www.rickmartel.org, to read more about the serious issues facing us and what I plan to do in going to work for you. You can also make a contribution through PayPal on the website.
Let us catch the wave that is sweeping our country and send the entrenched, out-of-touch incumbents home. I look forward to hearing from you and I look forward to an exciting and successful campaign.
Very truly yours,
Rick Martel
