Toss out incumbents

The June 10 Spokesman-Review had an article about Americans being disgusted with politics. Another article explained how Charles Koch of Koch Industries is “fed up with politics.”

It seems that everywhere we turn, people are fed up with Congress and with politicians in general. So why don’t we do something about it? Why don’t we show the courage to vote out the incumbents and elect people that represents us, the citizens, rather than their political parties?

This year we have the opportunity to do exactly that in Eastern Washington. It’s time for Cathy McMorris Rodgers to go. Does anyone really think she represents the voters of the 5th Congressional District? She cares about getting re-elected, period. It’s time for new representation and the person most qualified to fulfill that role is Independent candidate Dave Wilson.

Visit Dave’s website, www.davewilsonforcongress.com. Read his pledge. Dave Wilson cares about and will represent the citizens of Eastern Washington. He is not tied to any party or to any special interest group. He truly is an Independent who will give Eastern Washington the representation its citizens deserve.

Join me, and cast your primary election ballot for Dave Wilson.
