Don't vote for this conservative!

Rep. Rob Wittman, a strong conservative, is in direct opposition to positions taken by Sens. Warner and Webb. If you agree with the senators and disagree with Rep. Witt-man, vote for Krystal Ball.

I am a proud liberal Democrat. I am 80 years of age and co-precinct captain of Summit Precinct in Spotsylvania County. I carefully track the voting positions of members of Congress.

Americans for Democratic Action evaluates the votes of members of Congress. In 2009, on 20 liberal issues, Sen. Warner scored 95 percent and Sen. Webb scored 100 percent. Rep. Wittman scored 5 percent.

Do you agree with the senators or the congressman? Krystal Ball, who spoke to the Spotsylvania Democratic Committee at state Sen. Edd Houck's house, sides with the senators.

I attended the town hall program by Gov. Bob McDonnell at the University of Mary Washington. He presented his conservative approach and was applauded by many in the audience.

One person thanked him for his position and said it's good that we have conservative people like the governor and Rep. Wittman. These conservatives are believers in supply-side trickle-down economics.

The League of Women Voters in Williamsburg will hold a debate among the candidates at 7 p.m. on Oct. 13 at the Williamsburg Library Theater. I hope it is televised so voters can better evaluate the candidates.

Few vote but many complain about the Congress. Please vote for Krystal Ball on Nov. 2.
