Great to hear. Get the nurses and you will have it made. They have done away with the nursing incentive scholarship and it is going to cause a lot of people not to enter the field

I can agree with many of your efforts but not all.
Energy: protect the Alaska enviornment - do not drill and build roads etc.
Immigration: historically walls have never worked - Berlin Wall?. But the illegals should not have access to social services - they are costing taxpayers and they do not pay taxes.

Anne,
It would be great to see you back in office. You have good common sense. Other canidates only talk or offer bandaid solutions to lowering our gasoline prices. However you suggested we drill in Anwr and other areas voted offlimits by congress. This is the only to lower prices is to increase supply.
Thank You
George

Ann, Congratulations. The democratic congress has been a joke since Jan 2007. Yarmuth now has a voting record that can be used to beat him. We need to emphasize strong conservative values and principles.

Hi Anne … Here’s a commercial: A Congressman represents PEOPLE. Mr. Yarmuth is supposed to represent the Third District, but he votes with Nancy Pelosi every time. He even ignores his own Democratic constituents. They voted for Hillary Clinton by more than 30 points, yet Mr. Yarmuth didn’t care. He thumbed his nose at his Kentucky base and endorsed Barack Obama. He supports the DNC, but NOT Kentucky. He voted to recognize Ramadan and the Festival of Diwal, but he refused to vote “yes” to officially recognize Christmas. He voted to keep the marriage penalty tax and to raise taxes on Kentucky farmers. He even sided with the liberal web site, Move-On.org to publically ridicule America’s military leader, General Petreaus Mr. Yarmuth may be reflective of San Francisco values, but he does not represent the thinking of the people in the Third District of Kentucky.

Hi Anne.
I am stationed in Iraq with the KY Army National Guard. I came home for leave and had no Idea, until i saw all of the signs EVERYWHERE that you was running again. I should have known. I will not be home until after Election Day, So I am sorry to say I can not help you there. However, I wrote the following Letter to the CJ (twice) and I am hoping it will get published this time.
If you want to send me a sign, I will try to get a picture of it on a Hummvee or with a soldier holding it(me). SPC4 Dale Elliott,438th MP Co; APO,AE 09367. I cant do a lot because of Military Law. But I can do as much as I can. You never forgot the Soldiers, we will not forget you. God bless you and good luck.
Here is a copy of the letter: hope you like it.
Dear Editor,
I sent a letter previously and it appears to have gotten lost in Cyber World, because it does not appear in your paper or website, so here I go again.
I would like to take this time to urge voters to send Anne Northup back to Washington DC. When John Yarmouth ran against her the Democrats where asking “Had Enough?” They have had control over BOTH the Senate and Congress now for years and it appears things have gotten worst. I would like to ask the employees of Ford and GE if they feel better and how they like their job security since the Democrats have taken control. Now, the Democrats would like to tell us that “Oh no, it is Bush’s fault.”
There are 3 equal but separate branches of Government; Judicial, Legislative and Executive. The President is Executive, he is one deciding factor, and it is true he holds a lot of power. But the Legislative Branch holds equal power and it is Congress and Senate. What party has control over those two bodies? The Democrats! “Had Enough?”
Would the Democrats like to tell us why they haven’t gotten anything accomplished? I am serving in Iraq right now. I would like to know what the democrats have done to lower fuel costs. What have they done to protect my father from having to retire early from GE? Why my friends at Ford are worried about having a job next week. I want to come home from Iraq and buy a Ford Explorer; I probably can not do that because of gas prices.
Is it that the democrats have had no plans of their own? Is it George W. Bush so far more intelligent than they are, and they just could not beat him? What excuse will they give for there inability to fix the problems they blame everyone else for? Before the Democrats took over, things where a lot better. Remember the housing boom? Remember more affordable gas prices? So I ask you, are things better? “Had Enough?”
We need to return Anne Northup to Washington DC. She has done so much for all of the Louisville Area. She has made projects happen that never would have had a chance with out her help. What has John Yarmouth done? I am not talking about finishing projects Anne started; I mean what has HE done? What piece of legislation has he wrote?
“Had Enough?” I have! Vote for Anne Northup! I miss the days that her and Mitch McConnell worked together and had our economy a lot better. I want that Explorer when I return to the US. I hope I can afford it.
