The Governor needs to run our state like a business. Sarah Steelman has proven to me that from her experience as Treasurer for our state, she knows how to run our state. She understands budgets must be balanced, Congressman Hulshof only comprehends how to keep spending. Sarah is listening to the people and is ready to bring state government back to Missouri citizens. As for any negative ads that Sarah Steelman has been accused of, I thought when you stated the facts, that is what it is, the facts. Have you ever heard of "the Truth hurts?" Obviously my vote goes to Sarah Steelman on Tuesday.

Sarah is the People's Choice in Missouri. It is really clear just driving around Springfield. Sarah has signs that are in front yards, and Hulshof has them at businesses. I have not seen on sign for Hulshof in any yard in Springfield anywhere that I have driven. According to Missouri's Constitution the budget must be balanced, I know Sarah can do this, but I don't see how Hulshof could with his record of spending, plus his Constitutional scorecard is at 50% right now. That means when he voted, he only voted in favor of the Constitution, which protects us, half of the time. I do not want a governor like that! When the Federal Government is invading our lives more and more I want a Constitutionalist that will protect Missouri and the people of Missouri. The tenth amendment needs someone who will step out and not let Real ID, NAIS and other mandates invade our state. There are so many reasons why Sarah is the better choice.

I don't like the state Republican party deciding who we the people should vote for. They have been quite blatant in their "anointing" of Kenny Hulshof as the next governor of our state. They are not even close to getting REAL REPUBLICANS to support them when they endorse a big spending, expansionist government politician over a "We the People" candidate. We the PEOPLE would like to select our next governor instead of letting THE PARTY tell us who to elect.

Lots of us are waiting until after Aug 5th to decide if we will continue to support the Republican Party -- (my party of 30 years, I might add). We are waking up all over this country to the agenda of BOTH parties. --Taking away our freedoms on a regular basis. Just last week the people LOST AGAIN. -- The Federal Housing Bill included two very dangerous segments: a national fingerprint database for loan originators and it requires financial institutions to report all credit and debit transactions to the IRS. These items further erode our constitutional privacy rights and expand the power of the federal government. John McCain supported this erosion of our liberties. On principle, he is NOT a candidate FOR the people; he is against us. HE continues to vote against us, right along with Barack Obama.

I have a McCain yard sign; I just can't bring myself to put it out yet, next to my Sarah Steelman sign. They are both blue but they don't go together. That would be disrespectful to Sarah. She gets NO support from the Republican establishment. Kenny Hulshof needs sent back to his fake farm.

Long live the PEOPLE!

I think sare Steelman would make a great governer. I saw her on the Glenn Beck show, was not aware of her sakinf a stand aganist Gov Blunt and the Republican Party. We need some one like her for a president. To bad we have a democrat with unamerican ideas and a republican that you have to hold your nose to vote for. At least we know where Sara Steelman stands

Sarah Is from what I've seen to be the only honest ( Stand Up Person) running for govenor that we have had in a long tome. She understands that Ethanol is costing all of us in Energy and Food Cost and other cost. The Farmers are really not gaining because of all of their added cost today.

I have to say that I was licky to be able to meet Sarah as a few of my freinds. It was beleive it or not a meeting in a mans garage with no AC and we were all standing even Sarah. From what I heard as well as the actions that day I can only hope that this Lady can be the Govenor and work for us here.

Thank you for reading and careing.
John Paul
