Remarks By State Senator David Cappiello To The 2008 Republican National Convention
The following remarks were delivered by State Senator David Cappiello to the 2008 Republican National Convention at the Excel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota on Thursday, September 4, 2008. Hello fellow Republicans! I’m State Senator David Cappiello, and I’m running for Congress to represent Connecticut’s Fifth District. The people where I live in Western Connecticut share the same concerns as every hard working community in America. They don’t ask for much --only a government that promises a more affordable America today, and a better future for tomorrow. Yet so many politicians think the answer to every single problem is more taxes…more taxes. But, the people of Western Connecticut know that when taxes go up, so does the cost of their groceries and gas – their budgets stretched thinner and thinner. They want lower taxes that allow individual ingenuity and innovation to create more jobs. We need leaders that will work with all Americans –independents, democrats & republicans— and get RESULTS for our economy. Only John McCain and Sarah Palin have proven bi-partisan experience in putting people above party. Only the Original Maverick and the Alaskan Maverick can reform Washington. That’s why I love being part of a party of reform, but more importantly, a party of action. That’s why I urge all Americans –from every stripe of party and coalition-- to vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin. Thank you. Paid for by the Committee to Elect David Cappiello for Congress
