Straten will make U.S. more energy independent
(by JUSTIN WALDMAN - October 02, 2008)
As the cost of gas is increasing and the oil we are relying on comes from countries like Venezuela who do not have our special interests at heart, this means it’s about time that America creates its own form of energy in order to become more energy independent.
I know of a candidate who can do that for the 8th Congressional District and his name is Roland Straten.
As an engineer, Roland Straten will try to help pass legislation that will make us more energy independent by finding new sources of oil exploration in a safe, environmentally friendly way off shore, and by keeping capital gains and dividends taxes low so people can invest in private companies that will create new jobs in making wind, solar, bio-thermal and nuclear energy.
Not only will Roland help us with energy issues, he will help us with issues about education. He believes in giving parents school vouchers that will allow the parents, and not the municipal governments, to decide which school would be the best place they will send their children in order to be educated. Surely parents know their children better than any municipal government bureaucracy.
With Roland representing the people of the 8th District in Congress, he will fight to make sure that federal spending is reduced dramatically so people can keep more of what they earn without federal taxes having to be raised. Plus, he will fight to lower the 35 percent corporate tax rate (one of the highest in the world) so more countries and businesses will invest and set up shop in the U.S., thus creating more jobs for our citizens and stemming the flow of manufacturing jobs relocating to cheaper countries overseas.
I am sure that if given a shot to lead, Roland will shine in Congress.
