Amesvoter endorses Ryan Rhodes for state representative
October 29, 2008 3 Comments
Well, well, well, The Tribune of Ames, Iowa has endorsed Democrat Beth Wessel-Kroeschell to be State Representative for District 45. I certainly am not surprised given the Liberal leanings of Iowa newspapers this election cycle.
I am disappointed with The Tribue for the dismissive tone given to Ryan Rhodes with what he advocates and his ideas for the future. Ryan Rhodes has shown that he is a hardworking, dedicated young man who would represent District 45 in an outstanding way. Ryan is not interested in running with the pack and voting with how his party expects him to vote. Ryan has convictions and the maturity to make his own decisions. When given the opportunity Rhodes will be an effective legislator.
While The Tribune article drips with praise for Wessel-Kroeschell I have a much different take on her efforts to be an effective legislator. Wessel-Kroeschell’s support of big labor, compulsory unionism and forced dues agenda is more than enough to send me to the voting booth to cast a vote for Ryan Rhodes!
It is my understanding that Wessel – Kroeschell did not even bother to complete and return the Iowans for Right to Work Committee’s 2008 Candidate Survey for House District 45. Again, no surprise!
Ryan Rhodes did complete the survey and he pledged 100% support for Iowa’s Right to Work Law.
Thank you, Ryan Rhodes, for sticking to your convictions, for your dedication to your campaign, and for your willingness to stand up for conservative voters like me. My endorsement won’t be read by the vast numbers of Liberals who live in Ames but I will take this way to make my voice heard.
Ryan Rhodes, you have my admiration, my attention, and best of all- you have my vote!
Yet another newspaper endorses yet another liberal. Why don’t they just save the ink for something that is actually breaking news and not something readers already know.
But who do you endorse in District 46?
District 46…. I can not vote in that election but I have met Eric Cooper and liked him a lot. While I do not agree with all of Eric’s views he has a great thought process and a good heart for politics.
So, while I cannot vote for Cooper, I will be paying attention to what happens in District 46.
And, of course The (Liberal) Tribune went with Heddens for their endorsement. Again, not a surprise.
Rhodes and Cooper are on my political radar screen. They both have great ideas, in spite of how The Tribune pumps up their favored ones.
Thanks for asking Freedom Fighter!
