The Democrats are up to their old ways of character assassination instead of addressing the issues, no jobs and ever-higher taxes at every level.

Informed Mainers know what the unemployment rate is.

Informed Mainers know that Obamacare was passed without even knowing the impact on the world’s greatest health care system.

Informed Mainers know that two major Democratic Maine legislative votes were overturned by the majority of Mainers.

Informed Mainers know that Paul LePage, Jason Levesque, Garrett Mason and Steve Wood are what Maine needs: elected officials who will answer their correspondence and vote in the best interest of all Mainers, not in the interest of Augusta/Washington insiders and lobbyists, and are either unable or unwilling to address the concerns of informed Mainers.

On Nov. 2, I hope others will join me in voting for those who will make the changes Maine needs. We can’t afford not to.
