Send Mark Warner to the U.S. Senate

October 8, 2008 12:15 am

Please vote for Mark Warner for our senator to fill John Warner's seat. Mark Warner is the best person for the job, not Jim Gilmore.

When Mr. Gilmore's time was up as governor, he left the state in debt.

As governor, Mark Warner was able to get Republicans and Democrats to work together to get our state back where it was supposed to be. It took two years, but with the help of both parties, Mark Warner got the job done.

At the end of Warner's four years as governor, he was awarded the honor of Virginia being the best-governed state in the U.S.

Gilmore is in favor of off-shore Virginia oil drilling for domestic oil. Warner is not in favor of this. He agrees with John McCain, John Warner, and Jim Webb in exploration for natural gas 50 miles off the Virginia coast.

Mark Warner believes Jim Gilmore's "drill here, drill now, pay less" slogan is shortsighted.

Gilmore believes that if we start drilling, prices will immediately drop as the oil companies would hope to have oil coming in.

Gilmore says the tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 should stay. Warner supports rolling back the Bush tax cuts for only the top income bracket.

Vote for Mark Warner. He will do the best job.
