A Word from Joe:
A VETERAN'S MITE
"To Care For Him Who Shall Have Borne The Battle And For His Widow And His Orphan" a quote from Abraham Lincoln as read on the Veteran's Administration Building. Washington D.C.
Tonight I wrote a thank you letter by hand to Mr. Sanders. Mr. Sanders is a veteran and in a care home. He wrote me a generous check after a meeting we had some weeks ago. Mr. Sanders check and belief in me has touched me and given me new life to fight these last two weeks with veterans on my mind.
Mr. Sanders and others like him are the moral compass of this campaign. They fought for us, and we were not even born yet. Mr. Sanders and others like him believed that government would keep its commitment to them when he came home. Have we? I support legislation for 'concurrent receipts' for military retirees and disabled vets. I support VA health care reform and full life time health care benefits for ALL vets. It is not a political issue, it is a moral issue. I insist that every vet be treated like a hero when he or she enters a government facility. I insist that every VA worker be given the tools to do the job they were hired to do.
Mr. Sanders has touched my heart by his gift of the "veteran's mite" his gracious gift to me...to rescue those that feel betrayed and forgotten. I ask you to pray in thanksgiving for our nation's veterans and wish for me that I may be elected and fight for them. Thank you Mr. Sanders, I carry your burden in my heart.
God Bless America, Joe
ATTACK OF PERSONAL CHARACTER IS NOT PUTTING AMERICA FIRST!
When campaigns fight hard battles, the 'fur flies' said one political observer. But, Joe Turnham has been subjected to negative campaign attacks funded by over $2 million dollars worth of mail and tv distorting his positions, beliefs, and Christian character. It is time to stop.
As the campaign comes into its last two weeks, it is notable to mention that putting America First means putting your issues on the table as a candidate for real debate, not in the paid media. People are hurting out there and are demanding that candidates show sensitivity to their concerns.
As my own character has been assaulted in the mail box and on the tv for the last 6 weeks, I have gained a new sense of understanding for those that are tossed aside and so easily blistered by the powerful because they presented a threat to the power hold of the few. I intend to put America First in the US Congress, regardless of the negative consequences to me politically or to my own personal reputation. Name calling and shots to the political ribs do not deter me from mounting a campaign of hope and encouragement to the many people who look to leaders to 'do the right thing'.
Help me put America First by giving consideration to our campaign message of hope, positive ideas and a bold vision for our future. Thanks for all your prayers and for not believing or supporting those candidates that seek to gain power through deception.
Joe
