Dear Friends:

The general election has begun and let me say that I believe there is one overriding difference between John McCain and Barack Obama: John McCain’s vision for the future moves our nation forward while Barack Obama would take our nation backward. Missourians recognize that John McCain is a leader we can believe in to protect our country, grow our economy and reform our government.

Missourians also understand that Barack Obama's agenda for change looks to the failed policies of the past, and that's not change we can believe in. And let’s not forget that Barack Obama does not have the experience and judgment that we need at this critical time in our nation's history.

As I have said many times before, Barack Obama is the most liberal nominee in the history of the United States from either major political party. Whether it’s immigration, gay marriage, abortion or tax policy, Barack Obama would work hand in hand with Nancy Pelosi to push this nation further to the left than it’s ever been. Missourians will not accept that, which is why we all must stand united behind our Republican principles and with our next President, John McCain.

Until Next Time,

Peter
