Instead of Fat-Cat Politicians, Put Faith in McGoff

The following was a letter to the editor, published in the Indianapolis Star on April 4, 2010. You can read the full article by clicking here.

I am disappointed to see The Star waste its limited space to report, yet again, on political fundraising in the 5th Congressional District race. I want to knowabout the issues and the candidates' qualifications, not how many TV ads they are running. When I go into the voting booth, I don't ask myself, "Who has raised the most money?" I ask, "Who is the most qualified to represent my interests in Washington?"The state of the economy and the health-care crisis should tell us not to believe a single political advertisement. If these candidates were as wonderful as their ads portray, we would be experiencing an incredible national prosperity. We're not.

Dan Burton (and here), Luke Messer and Mike Murphy have a lot of money because they are part of the political establishment and have deep ties to the party poohbahs who perpetuate incumbency and business as usual in Washington. Despite their advertising rhetoric, they are part of the problem.My "money" is on Dr. John McGoff. He had the courage to take on Burton in 2008 when nobody else would, and his qualifications are better than even the incumbent congressman. If The Star won't report on qualifications, I hope the 5th District voters will do their own research so we can finally give Burton a retirement party.

Dr. McGoff is On Call as Voters Reject Politicians

(Indianapolis, Ind.) So far, the 2010 primary elections have not been good for incumbents. In many cases across the country ‘the usual suspects’ are being replaced by veterans, doctors and business owners.
Supporting that trend is a recent survey from the Pew Research Center showing public confidence in the Federal Government is low. Nearly [...]
