November decisions critical to the nation

Technology is expensive. Research and development is expensive. Making our lives better and free of diseases and hunger is expensive.

The United States has always led the civilized world in technology thanks to the incredible feats made possible by NASA over the past 45 years. Technology creates countless jobs and it keeps the United States on top of the world powers. The United States has led the world with our incredible technologies since we landed men on the moon. I was only 12 years old then, but I witnesses the awesome boon to our “trickle down” economy from the hundreds of thousands of jobs that it created.

Technology has always been the basis of our economy and, therefore, our great power! Obama and his socialist cronies want to strip this great country of our funding for research and development to fund more welfare for people that don’t contribute anything to our already suffering economy.

Obama has increased welfare and food stamps by 45 percent while slashing NASA and our defense budgets to a level that they can’t sustain any further research nor defense of this once great country. We must make a choice in November to either preserve our once great country or give it up to the socialists.

This election is the most critical election in the history of the United States.
