Graves looks out for 6th District

To the editor:
As a small businessman, I cannot afford Kay Barnes. I know the constituents of the 6th District cannot either. Kay Barnes is a big-city tax-and-spend mayor. If elected to Congress, she will continue to do the same with the hard-earned dollars of the people of the 6th district.

I am tired of hearing the lies saying that Sam Graves sides with big oil. He understands that increasing taxes on oil companies will only be passed onto the consumer. I don’t think that means he is the oil companies’ best friend. I think that means he is putting the best interests of the people first. He favors drilling off the coastal shelf and in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. He realizes we Americans should be able to drill for American oil. Since the Democrats took control of Congress, gas has raised approximately $2.00. We cannot let this go any further.

Kay Barnes says Sam Graves does not understand how people in the 6th District feel about the weakened economy. How would Kay know how we feel? She is an extremely wealthy person who lives a life of luxury in her fancy neighborhood.

When I visit any of Graves’ offices, whether in Washington, D.C., or a district office, I am treated with respect. Sam and I may not always agree on every subject, because he represents the entire 6th district, not just me. He will take the time to explain what is best for all members of the district. I have access to my congressman and know he is working hard for all people of the 6th District. I vote for the person, not the party, and Sam Graves is the best person to represent the 6th District in Washington.
