Why Brett
Sunday, October 23, 2005
Iowa has the 3rd highest income tax in the country along with the sales, property, gas, diesel, cigarette, beer and wine excise taxes, inheritance and estate taxes. We tax military incomes, social security checks and pensions. We have to bribe companies to come to the state with short term gifts and tax breaks, while states that reduce or eliminate income taxes see dramatic growth in economic development.Meanwhile, the legislature spends time deciding who can and can't get married, counting your calories and measuring obesity, pushing for helmet and seatbelt laws, expanding "sin" taxes on alcohol and cigarettes, and trying to protect you from yourself.
The dead weight that truly needs to be cut is the size and scope of government. We need to refocus on the proper roles of government: protecting the innocent and private property, enforcing just laws, leading in setting standards for education and protecting the environment, and pushing the resources of this great state --- the minds and work ethic of the people, ethanol, bio-diesel and alternative energies.
Hello, My name is Brett Blanchfield. I am running a campaign based on the principals of Small government, Individual Freedoms, and Personal Responsibility.
I am excited to meet all my neighbors in this district, to listen to their concerns and work with them to discover new ways to work towards solving the problems of this district. We do not have to accept that just because problems have been in place for a long time that they will continue that new opportunities are only available for new communities and neighborhoods, or that the people and parties that have represented us in the past necessarily have the best plans for our future.
My education as an economist and my work as an appraiser will serve this district well as we need someone that effectively monitor the financial books of our great state. Through my work, I have become intimately familiar with the powers asserted by government through eminent domain and seen the living, working and playing in our district, I have seen neighborhoods pulling together to improve their situation and the future for their children. I have also seen much of surrounding neighborhoods in this district miss out on the economic boom seen in downtown and all around the Des Moines Metropolitan Area. I will bring a new focus and plan to the House of Representatives, will break up the bickering between the two older brother parties in place and will work toward bringing real benefits to the district in the form of better education, more and better paying jobs, clean water for drinking and recreation, protection of property rights and individual freedoms.

Link your scanner to the diagnostic info

That way you are covered. This is a decent option to the gym.
Ab belts are the most recent workout trend in the fitness industry.
Though the usage of ab belts is not good due to the fact the customers
don't do any physical physical exercise, and ab belts do all the work, often you don't
have an alternative. If you are worn out or don't have time for you to commit doing function your abdominals, attempt this 1 on for measurement. It are not in a position to get any significantly far better than this; you but the belt on, program the controller and also you are off undertaking what you want to get carried out.
