A voter proud of Tom Latham

On the two Iowa State Daily Opinion pages from the October 20 edition, I found one lonely conservative voice placed at the bottom of the second page devoted to opinions. There among “I won’t be voting”, “A lesson to be learned from love” (supporting first graders attending a gay wedding in California, among other things), “rich people don’t need to get richer” and insights to ‘Maverickness’, I found a letter of support for Tom Latham!

Sharing the letter is my effort to create a fairer and balanced playing field, via Iowa Defense Alliance, for those interested in hearing what a Conservative mind has to say. Way to go Nicole, your letter in the ISD is awesome. We do need leaders to will listen to the voters before they vote. And, good for you, at least you will be voting!

LETTERS: Incumbent Iowa Congressman Latham deserves to have your vote for standing up for our lives

“This election is likely to be one of the most important and consequential elections that any of us will ever experience in our lives. Therefore, it is important that we study the issues and candidates and make informed and educated decisions about who we should elect to office.

This year, I am planning to vote for Congressman Tom Latham because I know he is a leader that has a proven track record of standing up for us in Congress. Too often, we send people to Washington and they fall in love with Washington. Thankfully, we have a Congressman in Latham that keeps Iowa front and center in every action he takes. I know that this election is not just about the next four years, it is about the next forty. This is an election about whether future generations of Americans are going to be afforded the same kinds of opportunities that current and past generations have enjoyed. We need to ensure that we have the right people in the right positions at this very important time.

For me, Congressman Tom Latham is that man. He voted against the big Wall Street greed bailout bill and has been a consistent advocate for more renewable and alternative fuels, lower taxes and less government intrusion. My vote is for Tom Latham because he has stood up for us time and time again. When you fill out your ballot, please join me in voting to keep Tom Latham working for us.”
