I reside in Fairfax County near Kingstowne.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;I am standing on principle running with a plan for positive action creating effective, sustainable solutions to the challenges confronting our community and our nation. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;My focus remains working with people to create a better future. The incumbent is not one of my issues. I wrote, "Let's ignore for now how Moran voted to kill FDR's Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 shortly before we endured the worst recession since the Great Depression. Let's overlook his urgent sell of Goldman Sachs and 89 other Wall Street firms and defense giants the day after a closed-door consultation with the Treasury Secretary and the Federal Reserve Board Chairman. In this moment ignore the man selling out while he bails out crony capitalists and ordinary Americans lose their jobs, their homes and their hopes."&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;It's time to move forward.

Both voting and the right to keep and bare arms are Constitutional rights. If a photo ID is a serious impediment to voting, then it is a serious impediment to 2nd amendment rights.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Andrew Newton</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:30:47 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: N.
