GREG RATHS for US House of Representatives CA45th CD 2020

I pray this message finds you well and with loved ones. As we move towards the 2020 elections, our country must be awakened, and patriotism renewed as we seek to alter the climate in Washington, D.C. We must bring Constitutional principles back to the legislative process. We once again must be a country of the people, by the people, and for the people, and we must be as productive as possible, without the many barriers, blockades, and well-intentioned but grossly misguided laws and regulations.

The greatness of this country is with us, the people, and our resilience and unstoppable energy dedicated to improving our lives and others is through economic success. The continuing trend of dependence on government is historically known to always fail. The primary purpose of our federal government is to defend our nation from its enemies through strength, not weakness.

As a proud U.S. Marine Corps officer for 30 years, flying jet fighters in defense of freedom, I believe that we are at a watershed moment in our history, and we must turn the tide that has been thrust upon us by politicians and others. Tired of politics as usual and wishing to serve my country once again, I am asking for your support to serve as your Congressman for California’s 45th Congressional District.

I only have one special interest group I wish to serve: the people of the 45th Congressional District. I will be your voice in Washington, D.C. to protect you, the unborn, and fix the mess that's been created by career politicians overly invested in maintaining their power rather than doing what they know is right based on principles that made our nation great.

God bless you and check me out at www.gregraths.com.
