Dear Neighbor,
The unfolding horror in Afghanistan is a sobering reminder of the evil in this world. It is particularly tragic as we approach the 20th anniversary of September 11, 2011. Our Afghan friends who have been fighting side by side with Americans against the Taliban for nearly two decades are once again living under tyranny and the lives of U.S.
Communities throughout America, including Erie, would greatly benefit from this plan.
Communism is the single most destructive political ideology in the history of the world.
While I support federal funding for women’s health, I do not believe, and a majority of Americans do not believe, that taxpayer dollars should fund abortions.

America's tax code is broken. It's too complex, too confusing, and much too costly. Too many hard-earned tax dollars are taken by Washington every year and then used to fund powerful special interests that don't ever help Americans or our economy. Far too much taxpayer money is being downright wasted by unchecked abuse and mismanagement at the IRS and other agencies.
