Time to, as ad says, ‘vote in a new team’

To the Editor:

Kristi and Stephanie have a few similarities but big differences.

Kristi owns and works a ranch with her family. Like John Thune, she will live in South Dakota. Stephanie lives in D.C. and owns a house in South Dakota.

Kristi and her husband, Bryon, have three children. He owns and works the family business. Stephanie has one child and her husband, Max, lobbies Congress (conflict of interest like Linda Daschle) and is a divorced father of four.

Kristi is strong pro-life. Stephanie is pro-abortion. (Abortion: intentional killing of a child yet to be or going to be born). It is a grave evil and a very serious issue for Christian voters.

Kristi will always vote conservatively on financial and family issues. Stephanie voted for Pelosi’s big stimulus bill — all borrowed money, causing a deficit-laden budget and raising our nation’s debt level. Kristi voted to take South Dakota’s share — if not, the big money spenders in Congress would not save it but send it elsewhere.

Stephanie voted for Pelosi to be speaker and joins her agenda on most votes (check her voting record). The only reason she voted against the health bill, car company bailouts and cap-and-trade was because the 53 percent she mentions in her ad voted yes so her vote was not needed — that makes her look good in South Dakota. She also will not join South Dakota or other states to rescind the health bill, even though her ad says South Dakota cannot afford it.

Kristi supports South Dakota Amendment K. Stephanie does not and instead co-sponsored “card check.”

How ironic. Kristi can use Heidepriem’s ad “because when things are broken and in a mess” (as the US government really is) “you vote in a new team.”

Bernie and Rose Stocking, Mitchell
