I was very disheartened to see a recent commercial on t.v. suggesting that the 12th Congressional District Republican nominee, Tim Burns, is advocating a national sales tax. Friends, this is simply NOT TRUE!
Even though I’m a devout Conservative, I always try to give others the benefit of doubt. I also evaluate the issues, first, before making a decision about how I will vote since I think it’s very irresponsible to just vote straight down a party line because “you’re a Democrat or Republican.” Friends, the 12th District Congressional race is becoming more of the same dishonest rhetoric we are experiencing right now in Washington. Tim Burns’ opponent is falsifying Tim’s stand on key issues, and it is very evident that we’re in for “more of the same” if another Democrat retains this very important seat.
Tim Burns has NEVER supported a national sales tax. Nowhere in his speeches will you find a sound byte or written statement promoting this idea. Tim HAS SAID that he would carefully consider a FLAT TAX for Americans (to replace our existing tax system), but he also has cautioned that this revolutionary idea would need much contemplation and planning (and should not be rushed into).
Friends, while the attack ads continue (and they will), please test everything before making a decision. Tim Burns says what he means, and means what he says. He’s the real deal, folks! Tim Burns will never intentionally misrepresent the facts (like his opposition has). This is exactly the reason we need Tim Burns for our district; he wants to go to Congress to bring INTEGRITY back to Washington and the offices held by our elected officials.
Furthermore, Tim Burns wants to utilize the coal and mining industries of western PA to both promote jobs and to help our nation with its energy needs. He also wants to stop the out-of-control spending in Washington so we can responsibly budget our resources for our future generations. Lastly, Tim Burns is a social conservative who understands the importance of protecting the unborn and who values his right to own a gun (as promised in our Constitution). If you, too, value these key issues, VOTE FOR TIM BURNS. It truly isn’t about his political affiliation or title, friends (We need to get beyond this here in western PA.). This is OUR TIME to shine and to tell Washington (and the country) who WE TRULY ARE: We are SMART, ENGAGED, and we HAVE INTEGRITY.
Now, more than ever, we truly have the power to be heard, to make a difference, and to be ADVOCATES OF CHANGE. Do not let this opportunity pass you by! Vote for Tim Burns on May 18th!
