Unfortunately, the big-money, special-interest groups often hiding in the wings are doing all they can to influence our elected leaders. And, of course, you and I will most likely never know who these big-money people are.

On the other hand, the only people in our government I feel can be trusted are those who serve or have served in our military. They have done a superb job in defending our freedoms over these many years.

When you get ready to cast your vote in the upcoming election, please use your important vote for candidates you feel you can trust and who cannot be bought by these special-interest groups.

I, personally, am backing a retired colonel of the U.S. Air Force of 26 years, Pete Stiglich, for U.S. Congress in California’s 1st Congressional District. He has impressed me with his knowledge, his integrity, and his love for America. And, most of all, Colonel Pete has my complete trust and confidence.

With Colonel Pete, America always comes first. Like he always says, “No more personal, political or special interests over what’s best for America.”

Colonel Pete gets it exactly right when he says it’s time to begin Putting America First.
