Stop Talking and Start Listening

Statement

At a DC town hall on Monday, President Barack Obama called for the Tea Party to begin offering solutions instead of "…just yelling at each other".

I am the only candidate that is actually offering solutions instead of party rhetoric in my Third District run for Congress, so I am extending an invitation to the President to sit down, stop his "yelling," and actually listen to the solutions that I have been offering.

Term limits, the Fair Tax, tort reform, single subject legislation, real illegal immigration reform that supports our states and local governments in their efforts to enforce current laws, education reform that allows state and local school systems to decide what is best for their students; these are just some of the solutions that will begin to transfer the power back to our state and local governments instead of the federal government.

We all know the federal government is the problem, and yet the President and even my Republican opponent, who is supposed to be a conservative, wants even more federal legislation for energy, the environment, education, government spending, the health care system, and the list goes on. However, the people of the Third District in Tennessee, and the nation, are beginning to realize that this type of D.C. politics is what got us where we are today. It's time for structural change, not more legislation from the federal government.

I call on, not just members of a party or organization, but Tennesseans and Americans alike to stand with me to take solutions to Washington, instead of what the President calls, "yelling". You want solutions Mr. President? Stop talking and start listening!
