We need to change course of events

To the Eagle:

Sometimes a window of opportunity opens that could change the course of events. When an old way of doing things no longer seems to be working and nothing desirable arises to take its place, it is time for a big change - often in leadership.

This election cycle offers such an opportunity with the candidacy of Teresa Purcell for State Representative for the 19th District. She brings her intelligence, energy, creativity, and courage to this important work for the benefit of all. Her website:peopleforpurcell.com will provide you with all you need to see how her election can help lead us out of the doldrums into a new era of prosperity and equality of opportunity.

One of the themes you may see there is sustainability. To sustain life here we need modern, clean industry with family wage jobs. We need affordable, quality healthcare and housing for all. Education that actually prepares young people for life in the world is essential.

Join me in supporting Teresa Purcell for State Representative District 19.
