Bring your voter outrage to the polls

This is definately not a year for complacency. Voter outrage is at an all time high and we are all sick of what is happening in the nation. The first step however, if to get our own house in order. Suffolk County needs to bring in someone who needs to hit the ground running on January 1st. This is not a time for on the job training....been there done that and look where it left us. I am not talking about the old guard now, there is a new but familiar face among the contenders and that face is a trusted long time friend of this County. Angie Carpenter has been around the County long enough to be familiar with the process but has been outside of the inner sanctium of politicos to be the voice of reason and change we need here in Suffolk to get things done. Angie doesn't threaten, she doesn't need to negotiate that way. While other politicians seem to think that negotating with unions is a dirty word, Angie knows that union members are tax payers too and that everyone has a stake in not bankrupting our County. She also is not an enemy of the legislature, since she was one of them she has already reached out to and told them that in order to get back on track they need to work together and the soon to be Republican majority is on board. Angie has run a business in this County and knows how difficult it is to meet a payroll every week. This type of experience is invaluable in this economy. Yes, she can make tough decisions and stand by her convictions, that was clear when she announced her intention to run and came out on top of the heap of would be Republican hopefuls against the wishes of the leadership. Angie proved she has the stamina, fortitude and grit necessary to bring our county back to prosperous times. Angie will do more than plant flowers around town, she will find jobs and bring businesses not horticulture back to Suffolk County. Let us not forget the other names on the ballot however, there are 10 judicial spots open for Supreme Court and they are bi-county positions where our Suffolk judges are mixed in with Nassau judges. If you want law and order on the bench you have no choice but to vote the "C" line all the way down. Don't stop voting however after the first 10 or you will miss some very important races. Our local judge Jack Toomy is running for County Court and of course our local town board candidates Bob Creighton and Ed Wehrheim are on our line as well. If you want good government, for a change..., if you want to elect individuals who have the same values and ideas that you do; vote on the line that will make a difference in this election. Vote line "C" all the way across. The Conservaitve candidates are all cross endorsed by the Republican's this year and for good reason; we are out to change the politics in this country; One election at a time.
