Fimian's priorities are in order

Keith Fimian has repeatedly stated that issues like energy, economy, and national security are more important than cultural issues, and I think he's right. While social issues like abortion rally the activists, rising gas prices and falling home values affect everyone, and we need a congressman that will be responsive to those needs.

I have been disappointed that Gerry Connolly hasn't taken a position for or against offshore drilling, despite the fact that 75 percent of the country and Democrats like Mark Warner and Jim Webb support it. I was even more disappointed that Gerry Connolly supported raising the gas tax, despite the record highs we're already paying.

Keith Fimian believes in common-sense principles he learned when he built his successful business from the ground up. Unlike Gerry Connolly, he's not beholden to anyone, and he put forward many ideas on how to solve our country's problems. Connolly believes he can hide out until Election Day because he already has it wrapped up. I hope the voters of the 11th District will prove him wrong.
