Questions That Need Answers!

Do You Know There Is a Republican Candidate Running For the 5th Congressional district? 

Now you do. Her name is Caroline Colarusso, and you need to vote for her. Why?

I heard the costs to taxpayers to provide medical and other services to people crossing our border

illegally is in excess of $200 BILLION dollars EVERY YEAR. Do you agree with these numbers? If not,

what number do you have?

Again, I received NO ANSWER. Why? Maybe she does not want you to know the costs of open borders

to taxpayers. To put $200 BILLION in perspective, that is equivalent to about 10 Boston Big Dig

projects FULLY PAID FOR EVERY YEAR. Again, 10 projects EVERY YEAR!

What could we do with $200 BILLION every year to improve the life of American tax payers? Fix our

infrastructure. Did you know the American Society of Civil Engineers has graded our infrastructure

a D-. A D-. Not a grade to be proud of. As a licensed Professional Engineer I feel that grade is a gift.

I would give our infrastructure an F. Just imagine how $200 BILLION could change our local

highways - commute times would no longer turn our highways into parking lots, no more pot holes

that can literally rip a wheel off your vehicle and no more collapsing bridges.

A vote for a Republican candidate is a vote for someone who will protect our borders and spend your

tax dollars wisely to improve the quality of YOUR LIFE.

Vote for Caroline Colarusso for Congress.
