Barack Obama

We face critical challenges: satisfying energy needs, achieving independence from foreign oil, global warning, technological innovation, national security.

The energy issue is especially important in Wisconsin.  Barack Obama proposes to double federal funding over the next decade for the development of clean, efficient, renewable energy sources, which will generate many new U.S. jobs.

John McCain

I am voting for John McCain because I refuse to kneel at the alter of Barack Obama. His record of supporting his party's wishes most of the time is evidence of lack of truth and integrity. His judgment of character is lacking, as shown by his associations.

I agree with a most of McCain's positions, respect his valor as a prisoner of war and am impressed by his ability to cross the aisle to achieve successful bipartisan bills.
