Rep. Stace Nelson: ‘We must do something about our economy’
Republican? Liberal? Independent? Moderate? Democrat? Libertarian? Conservative? Constitutionalist? These terms have an impact on whether we will either fix or exacerbate the pressing issue of the $17 Trillion in national debt that is doing to our economy, and your futures, as to what a wet blanket does to a party.
Now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of your country. Regardless of where most stand on that political spectrum, most agree we must do something about our economy.
The first step to doing something about it is to get you registered to vote. Never before in the history of our country has it been more important for you, the voter, to be educated on the issues facing you, the difference in political beliefs, and to take action by voting in your public elections.
We are at a cross-road in our history. The pressing questions before you today are: Do we make dramatic course corrections and return to the path our country previously embraced of free-market capitalism, limited government, and personal responsibility, that exploded the success of our country?
Or, do we double down, and continue down the doomed path of the unholy mixture of crony-capitalism, nanny-statism, and socialism, perpetuated by moderate Republicans and furthered by liberal Democrats, that has depressed our economy and indebted your generation?
For your consideration: The Democratic candidate in the U.S. Senate race advocates more of the same path. All five Republican candidates (including myself) claim they will go to DC and cut government and get us back on the path of limited government. Two of my moderate Republican opponents though did the opposite while in state government, and exploded spending, debt and government.
My other two opponents claim they will fight to cut government, oppose tax/spending/government increases, but have never bothered to advocate for such at the state level. I am the only candidate in the U.S. Senate race that has a voting record of actually cutting the size of government, reduced spending, consistently opposing tax/fee/government/spending increases and fought crony-capitalism and corruption in our state government.
For the last four years I have served you in your South Dakota House of Representatives where I have proven I am a conservative Republican (with a mean Libertarian and Constitutionalist streak). For 23.5 years before that, I served you as a U.S. Marine and as an NCIS agent, where I proved every day that up to and including my life, I would give my last breath for you and this country we all love.
I offer myself up to you once more to serve as your dedicated public servant, to go to DC and fight to cut government, cut spending, rein in a federal government and strive to take our country back to the future to that shining city on the hill where all things are possible for all Americans.
God bless and Semper Fidelis.
Respectfully, your servant,
SD Representative & U.S. Senate Candidate
