Elizabeth Dole backs bills that will do good

Elizabeth Dole is the best choice for Senate because she stands up for us.

Dole stands up for the military. She introduced the National Guard and Reservists Financial Relief Act, which would help families who have had a soldier called up to active duty. She also introduced a bill requiring the military to improve soldiers’ living environments.

Dole stands up for law and order. She introduced the Safe Roads Enhancement Act, which would allow deportation of illegal immigrants convicted of drunk driving and would prohibit aliens who are repeat DWI offenders from getting immigration benefits.

Third, Dole stands up for affordable energy. She believes North Carolina, not Washington, should decide if it wants to look for oil off its own coast. She also introduced the New Clean Energy Tax Extenders Act, which provides tax credits and incentives for alternative energy sources.

While Elizabeth Dole is standing up for us, Senate Democrats like Harry Reid and Charles Schumer are standing up for themselves. They haven’t allowed debates or votes on Dole’s bills. We need a senator who is going to stand up for us, not the Washington Democrats. We need Elizabeth Dole.
