Taylor St. Griffin, Ga. We Need A Congressman Who's Willing lb Face The Real Issues. In a political campaign, it's easy to hurl mindless charges that aren't based on facts. But Newt believes, more importantly, that a political campaign gives voters like you a chance to understand where this country is now and where it's heading in the future. We've got to preserve a strong national defense, cut the size of the bureaucracy, oppose gun control and balance the federal budget. And we've got to do something about the corruption and mismanagement of Congress that affects our very existence. So on November 2nd, think about your country, your district and your family. Remember that true service comes from a commitment to service, and that the future depends on strong, honest leadership. The time has come for a change in Congress. The time has come for Newt Gingrich.
