There has been a lot of talk about change in this presidential election, but the real question is which presidential ticket can actually deliver it. And the answer is John McCain and Sarah Palin.

If you really analyze Senator Obama’s record and plans for the country, you will clearly see it represents more of the same.

Obama plans to raise taxes on businesses and therefore stunt job growth, discriminate against people based on income levels, cut and run in the war on Iraq, increase federal spending and waste taxpayer dollars on failed programs and refuse to take a stance on critical issues such as life.

He has a record of being the most partisan, liberal member of the Senate and has selected a partisan Washington insider as his running mate. To me, all of this represents more of the same and not the change we need to see in Washington.

Meanwhile, Senator McCain has a reputation of being a maverick who has broken from his party to do what is right for the American people. He is a war hero with immense foreign policy experience and knows how to win the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and give our troops the resources they need to win.

He has a record of fiscal responsibility and will cut wasteful spending, decrease the size of government and cut taxes for all American individuals and businesses in order to provide relief and create jobs.

His running mate, Sarah Palin, brings a record of standing up to party bosses and union bosses, cutting taxes and making Alaska’s economy one of the most successful in the nation. Both also value energy independence, the sanctity of life, and the importance of individual freedom.

On Nov. 4, please join with me in voting for John McCain and Sarah Palin, the true agents of reform and change this country desperately needs.

Andrew Bogda,
