Letter to the Editor: In Support of Gabriel Gomez for U.S. Senate

The solution is Gabriel Gomez. A U. S. Naval Academy graduate, a Navy aircraft carrier pilot and a Navy seal with distinction, Gabriel Gomez will vote the real #1 issue of Dedham women, their pocketbook.

 

Dear Editor:

 In the Wednesday, June 5th U. S. Senate debate televised by WBZ-TV, Congressman Edward Markey claimed that he speaks for the women of Massachusetts.

As a woman, Congressman Markey needs to explain his votes: to increase our taxes thirty-seven times, increase our cable rates, against 9/11 victims and why he voted to impose taxes on Social Security benefits for Dedham’s seniors, including many widows.

While Markey prefers high dollar fundraisers with Hollywood celebrities, lobbyists and the President, his silence on the scandals engulfing Washington DC is deafening.

After three decades in Washington DC and after 20 years without authoring a bill, he has no response to illegal, politically-motivated taxpayer harassment at the IRS, spying on journalists at the Associated Press and secret collection of all of our electronic and telephonic data.  It is no surprise that Congress’ approval rating is 16%. 

With our government in crisis, how can we send Congressman Markey to the U. S. Senate to fix the problems that he created as a Congressman.  After 37 years, he has no answers to preserve Social Security, restore Medicare and streamline the way the federal government does business.

The solution is Gabriel Gomez.  A U. S. Naval Academy graduate, a Navy aircraft carrier pilot and a Navy seal with distinction, Gabriel Gomez will vote the real #1 issue of Dedham women, their pocketbook.  Gomez will fight for term limits for Congress, a balanced budget amendment, a line item veto, and will keep an open mind on all federal judicial appointees and will vote, based on their qualifications.

Dedham voters, men and women, please join me in voting for Gabriel Gomez for U. S. Senate in the special election on Tuesday, June 25, 2013.  Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.  Thank You.
