Are you tired of being ignored by your Legislature while the economy slips ever further into debt?

Isn't it time to retire professional politicians who lend their ear and attention to every other interest group except those that count -- our people?

If the answer is yes, you have an opportunity to toss them out and serve our people. The place to do so is to register in the Primary Election to get on the ballot. Surely any dedicated citizen can do a better job.

Remember that the professionals were there when all those deals affecting us now were made. Our founding Fathers never intended that their descendents be ruled by an oligarchic political class.

Here is how to begin:
