Our Nation is at a Crossroads

Statement

Date: Oct. 16, 2013

Friends,

Our nation has come to a crossroads. Our fundamental American values are being challenged by left-wing Washington politicians. The decisions our leaders make over the next few years will chart the course for future generations.

If we are to make an American comeback, get our economy back on track, reduce the overwhelming size of government and earn respect abroad, we must elect conservative leaders who are unwavering in their support of traditional American values.

It is those conservative values and policies that I have stood for and fought for as a state senator, have made the centerpiece of my campaign and will continue to focus on if you elect me as your next Congressman.

I've talked about the dangerous consequences of Obamacare and the need to defund and repeal it… sooner rather than later. I've highlighted Washington's need for a balanced budget; one that is similar to the budgets of hard working, middle-class Louisiana families. And I've talked about making a great American comeback, restoring the "old-fashioned" values that made our nation great.

We have a small window in time to get our country back on track, to restore the American Dream, to get back on the road to economic prosperity and rebuild America's international reputation as a defender and beacon of hope and liberty.

I will not leave my daughters and their children behind to suffer the consequences of the Washington establishment's policies. The status quo is not working and I won't sit idly by.

For six years, I have served in the Louisiana Senate representing 10 parishes. I have been a dependable conservative voice, faithfully representing the taxpayers of Louisiana. I invite you to examine my record.

I am 100% pro-life. I support traditional marriage. I have passed landmark legislation protecting our right to keep and bear arms. I have strongly opposed efforts to increase taxes. I have supported parental choice in education. On every issue, I've stood with you.

I am the only candidate to receive an "A+" rating from the National Rifle Association and receive their distinguished "Defender of Freedom Award."

The Louisiana Family Forum awarded me with their "Life and Liberty Award" for my courageous stand on behalf of conservative family values.

Now, I am asking you to stand with me.

We must fight to restore fiscal sanity in Washington. We must fight to secure our borders. We must fight to protect the lives of the unborn. We must fight to defund and repeal Obamacare. And we must defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

The Washington crowd says we can't get it done, but you and I know we can!

I am asking for your support and your vote this Saturday, October 19th.

Neil Riser
Candidate for Congress
