Travis Childers, our Congressman from the 1st District, says in his TV ad, “I”ve done what I said I”d do.” Really! Voting for Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House, accepting a fundraiser from Barney Frank, and voting with the liberal Democrats to put our grandchildren over $800 million in debt are not the things most of the people in the 1st District would approve. If these are some of your proud accomplishments, then we need a new Congressman!
Alan Nunnelee has been a responsible leader in Mississippi, holding the line on frivolous spending, balancing our state budget, helping real businesses create real jobs. I”ll be supporting Nunnelee in November.
