Danny Stover |
Please contact the committee at this web site with your thoughts about the next congressional election. The primary in Illinois will probably be moved up to February 2008.
With over thirty years of public service as an educator and in elected office, Stover has fought for balanced budgets and fiscal responsibility while still advancing the cause of our children, the poor and the elderly. As an educator he understands the need to adequately fund our schools, and as a city councilman he has fought the battles to build the roads and maintain the infrastructure without wasting money on pork and pet projects. Stover will work not only to keep jobs from leaving the country but to foster the conditions that will create new jobs. When elected, the under-employed with no health insurance and inadequate housing will be fiercely represented in the halls of Congress. Our seniors, worried about the Social Security that they have worked for and been promised, will have a loud and tenacious advocate. The pork barrel politicians will find an equally loud and vociferous adversary. Will Rogers said "This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer." When elected Stover will work to take the hammer away from the baby. He will fight for fiscal discipline and accountability as well as social justice and protection for the most vulnerable and powerless among us. Stover will work to ensure that every dollar that you pay in taxes is necessary to fulfill those obligations and is not wasted.
