On Memorial Day, Americans remember those who have paid the ultimate price for freedom. Through the years there have been many enemies who wanted to destroy the great experiment known as the United States of America.
But today there lurks a new kind of enemy. This enemy does not carry guns or bombs. It is a silent killer of nations. This enemy is debt. As debt has enslaved many individuals, it also causes nations to lose control of their destiny. Our national debt is out of control and is growing every day, further threatening to destroy the country that veterans like myself have served, and for which many have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Are we going to stand by and let the entrenched powers in Washington spend away the nation that these men and woman have sacrificed so much for? Have we defeated imperialism, Nazism, and Communism, and do we continue to fight terrorism only to succumb to the crushing weight of debt?
This Memorial Day, I am supporting Glen Urquhart for congress. By doing so, I remain in the fight for my country which began on the battlefields of Iraq, and continues on the battlefield of the political arena. As sure as Islamic terrorism threatens to destroy our country from the outside, debt can, and will, erode our sovereignty and lead to collapse from within, rendering the sacrifice of those we honor on Memorial Day in vain.
Glen Urquhart understands this, and will work to reduce the national debt, shrink the size of government, cut taxes, and like our brave veterans, defend liberty for all Americans.
Glen Urquhart is a candidate for the United States House of Representatives. A business entrepreneur who lives in Rehoboth Beach, Glen is a Reagan Republican who leads from a core of traditional family values, and a love for his country.
I encourage all who wish to honor the sacrifices of our veterans and fight for a bright future for our country to consider joining me in supporting Glen Urquhart for Congress. For more information on Glen Urquhart, go to www.Glen4Liberty.com.
