** Dear Bruce: Every once in awhile a candidate for Congress comes along that really impresses me – so much so that I personally contribute to them. I want to introduce you to one such leader: CARL DEMAIO. Carl is openly gay and is running as a “New Generation Republican” for US Congress – in one of the most watched Congressional races in the country. Carl DeMaio’s is truly exceptional in today’s political world, not because just because he’s gay, but because he has taken on the forces of big government and won. Several times over! *Carl DeMaio: Taxpayer Watchdog* DeMaio has been uncovering waste, fraud and abuse in government for years. In the 1990s, he helped implement a law to force all federal government programs to measure and publicly report performance standards. Guess what? Many of the programs failed their performance test. DeMaio also was one of the few voices to predict California’s fiscal meltdown and helped uncover the pension scandal and fiscal crisis in San Diego. *Carl DeMaio: Getting Big Reform Done* DeMaio doesn’t just point out problems – he is a breath of fresh air in offering bold solutions. In San Diego, DeMaio wrote the plan to save the city from bankruptcy. While serving in the minority party of the City Council, DeMaio galvanized public pressure to get many of his reforms approved – ranging from outsourcing city services to cutting red tape on small businesses. We have Republicans in the Majority in Washington DC that haven’t produced as much change as DeMaio did while serving in the minority! *Carl DeMaio: A National Leader for Pension Reform* DeMaio’s biggest win was getting a massive Pension Reform Initiative passed in San Diego to close the unsustainable and overly-generous government pension boondoggle that almost bankrupted the city. DeMaio led the charge to switch our government workers to 401(k) retirement accounts – with benefits benchmarked to the penny against what the taxpayers receive. DeMaio is now proposing to take his Pension Reform proposals nationwide! *Carl DeMaio: A Plan to Fix Congress* The best part about Carl DeMaio is he is ready to take both political parties on in Washington DC to force change. DeMaio has outlined a bold and ambitious “Fix Congress First” Initiative to force Congress to live under the same laws it expects the rest of us to live under. Under DeMaio’s plan, Members of Congress would lose gifts, free travel, and generous pensions and health care subsidies. Congress would have to comply with all laws with no exemptions. To force Congress to read bills before they pass them, DeMaio would impose a “72 Hour Rule” for all legislation to be posted online for the public to read before any votes are taken. *Can you imagine the impact Carl DeMaio will have when he’s elected? * I can – and that’s why I’m asking you to help elect Carl DeMaio by contributing today.
