Hi I'm Dale Sweetland and I'm running for Congress
in the 25th Congressional District, which includes
the Towns of Irondequoit, Webster, and the northern part of Penfield.
I want to be your Congressman because I'm tired of what goes on
and what doesn't go on in Washington.
Democrats and Republicans alike spend so much time arguing with
each other that solutions to real problems in America are
never reached. For example, America is in the middle
of a major energy crisis, yet the Democratic
led Congress refused to act for months and the
measure they finally did pass is so full of clauses
and exceptions that it has no real chance of actually making
a difference at the gas pump or on your home heating
bill. I have a four point plan to deal with the
current energy crisis that includes
drilling for our own resources, promoting conservation,
developing alternative energy sources,
and cutting taxes on energy. I know what it's
like to struggle to pay bills, especially your property tax bill.
That's why I have a plan to cut your property taxes in
half. As your Congressman, I would propose legislation
to force New York State to pick up the entire cost
of Medicaid, saving taxpayers and Monroe County
162-million dollars a year.
As the Chairman of the Onondaga County Legislature, I led the
effort to fight Medicaid fraud in my county, an initiative
that resulted in two million dollars
savings to the county this year alone.
Over regulation is choking small businesses
throughout the country. To encourage business and job
growth would preserve tax cuts, lower government
spending, and reduct bureaucratic barriers.
As your Congressman, I will stand for you in Washington.
I'm not going to Washington to mingle
with the political establishment. I'll represent
your issues and your concerns,
working across the aisle to get the job done.
I'm Dale Sweetland, Republican candidate for Congress and I look forward to
representing you in Washington.
