Forging a Choice for Rhode Island Voters
 
Zaccaria Highlights His Positions
Hey, Neighbor...
 

Mark Serving

Last Month in Westerly I helped the local GOP put on their annual Corned Beef & Cabbage Dinner for St. Patrick's Day.  Jim Beale did his usual masterful job at the stove and I waited tables, along with a loyal group from the Republican Town Committee.  It was a metaphor for the Service I'm offering to perform for everyone in the Second District.  We all know what has to be done to get dinner on the table.  Have a look at some of the things I'm trying to organize to get Better Representation on the menu for the whole District.
Getting the Word Out...
 
Dollar Sign LogoNo matter how compelling the message of this campaign is, it will go nowhere if no one is able to see or hear it.  The plain fact is that Political Campaigns are paid for Privately.  Without your political support Mark cannot win on Election Day.  Without your Financial Support right now, his campaign will not make it to Election Day.  Take a look at what Mark and his Campaign stand for.  If you stand for it, too, plese drop by the Web Site and get out your credit card:
Together we will get it done.

Short Rounds
"This thing we call 'Failure' is not the falling down but the staying down."
   - Mary Pickford, Actress
 
Are we in a Recession?  Maybe.  If so, we'll soon be out of a Recession.  We need to remember the techniques of being successful in tough times.  That's in part because we'll need them now and in part because we're sure to need them again someday soon.
 
"Our greatest responsibility is to be good ancestors."
  - Jonas Salk, Biologist
 
When we see the Government doing things we don't agree with, we have to be Good Ancestors and lean on it to get back on track.
 
"The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong - but that's the way to bet."
  - Ring Lardner, Author
 
The best chance to be successful in November is for each of us to become swift and strong.  Our determination must be that doing the Right Thing is more important than ignoring our problems, no matter that it's easier to just ignore.
The Economy
 
The American Economy is the engine of our culture.  It's world leading productivity and innovative application of new technology are the twin pillars of the American Lifestyle.  Yet we have assumed that it would always be a cornucopia of endless growth, job creation, and prosperity for all.  And, thinking that, we have been happy to load burden upon burden onto the back of the productive economy, not thinking that it would ever stall. 
      Well it has.
Looking ahead, it is high time to start cutting back on some of those administrative and tax burdens so that the American Economy can roar back to life.  That is not to say we should roll-back all the Occupational Safety or Environmentally Sound Standards we have integrated into the workplace over the years.  It is to say that we should intentionally cut government spending as a way to make more capital available for economic development, though.  It is to say that we should seek economically viable solutions to problems like Global Warming, Alternative Energy Sources, and the Global Cultural Divide.  Taking this approach will let us all profit from doing the right things.

Education
 
If a roaring Economy is to be the American Hallmark again, then we need to understand the intimate relationship it will have with our system of educating ourselves.  In the years ahead we will live in an economic environment that is based on the value of Intellectual Property much more than it will be on Natural Resources or Labor.  Design innovation and process improvement will be much more valuable than raw materials or even factory space to the businesses that succeed in this new economic surge.  If the citizens of Rhode Island are to participate at the forefront of this New Economy then they will have to be educated in the Thinking Skills that it will require.  Developing those skills is the kind of clearly set goal we will need to energize our system of public education.  Creating the atmosphere in which that goal can be set and plans to achieve it made is the proper place for government in this. 
 
Just knowing all that is only the first step.  The next one is to be ready and able to fight to put it in place.  That's why Mark Zaccaria wants your help to send him to Washington.  Not to add to the Education Department's bureaucracy, and not to create more unfunded mandates, but to help make government the arbiter or umpire of the Public / Private partnership that will have to develop to service the New Economy.
Freedom Isn't Free.  To insure our continued Freedom I have to work to provide a real choice for the poeple of the Second District on this November's Ballot.  For the same reason you have to do the research on my positions and those of my opponent.  Ultimately it's your call as to which vision of the future will represent you in the next session of Congress.  That's why I'm making these E-Newsletters available to you and asking for your response.  Let me know how you feel either by replying or by E-Mailing me directly mark@markz4ri.org .  If we work together to make the government we have into the government we need, we can't fail.
 
Sincerely,
 
Mark Zaccaria
