Hailing from the state with the highest unemployment rate in the nation is always front and center when I engage a fellow Rhode Island voter in any political discussion. And the fact that my home state is likely the last choice for any smart business owner or budding entrepreneur looking to put in roots, only augments the frustration of a Conservative living in a place where voters repeatedly send the poster children for corruption and partisan politics back to Washington time and again. So when I bumped into young Cormick Lynch in the Shaw’s Supermarket parking lot the other day, I wasn’t shocked to hear he’d only acquired 200 of the 500 signatures needed to get on the ballot as a Republican running in the 1st Congressional District against the infamous and very typical Rhode Island politician, David Cicilline. It simply never ceases to amaze me how the majority of Rhode Island voters seem content with the status-quo which has been destroying our state for nearly 50 years.
So my question to the “Little Rhody” voters is simple. Is this what you wish to leave your children, really? If the answer is no, then step up and be part of real change for a change, and to heck with that failed and not as advertised “hope and change”. For my part, give me a fresh look and new ideas that’ll turn Rhode Island away from the iceberg of politics as usual with all the usual suspects. Go and sign this young combat vet’s voter sheet and let us begin again. Oh, and a message to the Rhode Island Republican Party; get your collective heads out of your backsides and make sure you’re supporting this young man’s efforts!
