Candidate for the U.S. Senate, Jim Ogonowski >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
One of the most prominent proponents of Democratic big government solutions to problems, real and perceived, Senator John Kerry, is seeking re-election to a fifth term in November. Challenging the entrenched liberal status quo in Massachusetts is, to say the least, an uphill battle, even given the historically low approval ratings currently “enjoyed” by congress. But the conservative case for dealing with such issues as illegal immigration and fiscal responsibility can be a compelling alternative to old and tired liberal answers. As was mentioned in a previous article, Massachusetts Republicans now have two viable candidates challenging Kerry. Today, we look at Dracut businessman, Jim Ogonowski.
Last fall, Republican Jim Ogonowski, waged an impressive campaign against Nicki Tsongas for U.S. Congress in the heavily Democratic Fifth Massachusetts District. In waging a campaign that came close to beating his eponymous opponent, Jim caught the attention of many in Massachusetts and across the country. Now, he has announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate.
Jim’s background as an Air Force Officer and his experience in running a small Massachusetts business helps him to understand the needs and concerns of all the citizens of Massachusetts. He notes in his January 27th press release that “Folks in Massachusetts don’t see John Kerry around here much anymore – Washington is his home. It’s been his home for a long time.” The keystone of Jim’s campaign will be to return government to the people by focusing on “real problems with real solutions.”
The task for those of us who agree with Jim and his primary opponent that change is necessary in the way the government works must recognize that the November election is not that far away. It is important to generate the interest in the Republican candidates and their refreshing ideas and broaden this interest to the moderate voter base. If we are going to send John Kerry packing, the time to start is now.

How does the author say " But the conservative case for dealing with such issues as illegal immigration and fiscal responsibility can be a compelling alternative to old and tired liberal answers." when George W. has been the biggest tax and spender in the White House ever. The Republican party has not demonstrated an ability to be fiscally responsible and a candidate that has an interest in a company that provides security consulting smacks of Blackwater and Halliburton.
I would take the old and tired liberal answers rather than be continually subjected to the trampling of my personal rights by the neocons currently in the White House. We won't leave Iraq until the cronies of Dick Cheney have milked the American tax payer of every dollar that is available.
