Jobs ... Jobs ... and Jobs- Private sector employment; not government expansion

- Employer friendly regulation
Fiscal Conservative - My family has always lived within its means and saved for the future.
- Government spending is growing without end
- We need to reduce government spending; we need to control the deficit.
Leadership
Professional politicians say they are going to Washington to end gridlock …
Why didn’t they do that before???
Human beings become stagnant in the same state of affairs over time (thirty seven years is a long time). Change and renewal are essential for long term survival. Business leaders are selected to be accountable for delivering results; when results are bad, the leaders are usually fired. Progressive companies rotate their managers every three to five years to spark revitalization.
What does Erik Smitt have to offer?
Not a professional politician
Not obligated to any special interest!

- Created jobs in the private sector (not government) … added value to the economy

When we look at Washington and the results, whose fault is it? … is no one accountable? We have a failure of leadership in Washington … we need new leaders … change and renewal are essential to our country’s survival.
