Support Steve Buyer for U.S. Rep. District 4

In the 4th District, Republican Steve Buyer finds himself in a campaign for reelection against Democrat Jim Abbott and Libertarian Jerry Susong. Susong's major campaign issue is getting the church back into the government, something that is obviously unconstitutional. And while Abbott does show a genuine concern for the area, the lack of experience and the impressive resume of Buyer should drive Hoosiers to the polls to place their votes for the Republican representative.\nBuyer's has an impressive record of fighting for educational needs. Buyer voted for the Teacher Empowerment Act that gives more authority to local school districts on the decisions that directly affect them. He also voted to increase funding for special needs children in public schools and voted to send 95 percent of federal education dollars to the classroom and not to the "bureaucrats" as stated on his Web site. \nBuyer has also fought to reduce government spending in a time where the deficit is ever growing. Along with that Buyer has voted to protect social security by voting to permanently protect the Social Trust Security Fund. Buyer also voted to extend solvency of Medicare for a decade. \nBuyer's Libertarian opponent adamantly campaigns for the government to run by the church. It even escapes Susong that a majority of churches don't want the government to have any say in their church. Abbott is putting up a decent fight and standing for what he believes in. But at this time, Indiana does not need a freshman representative representing the 4th District. They need someone with the experience. \nFor a solid representation in the House, the 4th District needs to keep Buyer in office.
