Material Wealth... who's got it? who doesn't?

Yesterday, the President sat stone-faced through a sermon imploring the congregation to "jettison their material possessions." I'll not make any judgments on the President's wealth, or on the wealth of Senator Kerry, but I will utter a word or two about Mr. Patlak:

Dave is no born with a silver spoon in his mouth guy. No, David Patlak is a retired military officer, drawing a simple retirement pay for his years of service in uniform. And, Dave is no academy graduate, but rather worked his early years in uniform as an enlisted member. He's a regular Joe. And, as such, he understands where most Americans, and most people living in the 18th District in Florida, are coming from. His vision is one for all Americans, and one where those at what we sometimes consider the "bottom of the food chain" can succeed. Our youth. Our recently arrived to this country. Our veterans, disabled and able-bodied alike. Our minimum age earners. All those who form the bulk of our great country.

No silver spoon here; David wants to work with you and for you... not the other way around.

This can only happen, however, if each of us contribute our time and talent and treasure to his candidacy. We, each, must do what we can to support Dave Patlak and to ensure his run for Congress is successful.
