Rick Responds to Catonsville Times Endorsement of Kasemeyer
Rick sent the following letter to the editor of The Catonsville Times in response to that periodical’s endorsement of Ed Kasemeyer:
“Last week you endorsed Senator Kasemeyer and labeled him as “moderate”. How can he reasonably be termed moderate when he proposed a surtax on upper income families, cutting state retirees health benefits, voted 41 times to override Governor Ehrlich’s vetoes, voted to give illegal immigrants the same tuition rates as Maryland taxpaying residents (SB520, 040303) and has received a score of 87% from Progressive Maryland in 2006?
Whether one is Democrat or Republican, we need to send the “irresponsible General Assembly” (Wash. Times 10/23/06) a message that our elected officials need to PUT THE NEEDS OF MARYLAND CITIZENS FIRST, above partisan politics.
I am running with Team Ehrlich: Joe Hooe and Al Nalley (House of Delegates) and George Kapusinski (County Council) to provide the citizens of District 12 a choice, which is the heart of our democracy and to put an end to the one-party rule that has “served the State poorly in the past” (Wash. Post 10/25/06).
“Marylanders deserve better. That’s why the Washington Times strongly endorses Gov. Robert Ehrlich for re-election – along with the election of a more responsible, conservative General Assembly.” (Wash. Times 10/23/06)
Please vote for Team Ehrlich in District 12 on Tuesday, November 7, 2006.
