Opinion : Vinton Today Endorses...

A few have asked if we planned to endorse a candidate for this year's election.

We shy away from doing that, but this year I decided it was time to take a stand and do exactly that.

We've watched this candidate for a long time. We have heard about and seen the businesses built.  We've seen how they have the ability to balance a checkbook.

This candidate is everything you'd want in family values.  They treat their family fairly and have gone above and beyond to help a neighbor in need.

This candidate stand head and shoulders above the average citizen.

I know you need to get out there and vote, so I'll keep it short.

The candidate we endorse is...YOU!

After what seems like 4 years of campaigning, I think I've come to the conclusion that there should be term limits to EVERYONE going to Washington.

The idea that one party or another can run things better, for the most part has become such a joke.

Campaigning has become such a dirty business...and seriously, I can think of a lot of folks I'd vote into office.

Think about it! If you've got your act together, throw your hat in the ring for the next election. After seeing the mess some of our elected officials have created, surely you can do better than what we've been seeing!

Go ahead!  Here's your endorsement...take it and run with it!

We have faith in YOU, the little guy...going to Washington and taking your small budget experience there and working on the out of control budget there.

If you have your family life figured out, your neighbors don't hate you, and the cops aren't looking for you, take the plunge!

We need some good hometown foiks to take a spin in politics, so think about it.

It's a thankless job, and I'm sure there is more griping than thank you's that come your way, but really, the rewards of serving your country proudly, has got to be an awesome reward!

So future Candidates...contact me for your campaign ads next year, and the next, let's get some REAL hometown folks taking the reigns!
