Change for the better with Barack Obama for President and Christina Avalos for 40th Congressional District
Thank you for visiting my official web site. That is the first step in helping to create the change in our national government envisioned by Barack Obama. But he can’t do it alone. Voting for Obama is voting for change, and voting for me will help bring about that change if you elect me to the House of Representatives.
My name is Christina Avalos and I am the Democratic-endorsed nominee for the 40th Congressional District.
For many years I have been active in the community promoting the well-being of those who are often unrepresented and whose voices are unheard. As a counselor of those afflicted with drug addiction, alcoholism, AIDS and domestic violence, I have personally encountered and encouraged them and their loved ones, seeking solutions to their problems. That is why I am in favor of universal healthcare, because everyone deserves quality healthcare. With your vote, I will push to end our involvement in Iraq, where the amount we spend for 40 days would pay for healthcare for 10 million American children for one year. We also have a duty to care in every way for our veterans because they have given their all for us.
There are many issues affecting all of us, especially the economy, energy and the environment. The solutions are intertwined in that the economy would be boosted with new green-collar jobs if we seek environmentally-friendly energy sources. Reducing our dependence on fossil fuels is an environmental and national security imperative. See the “On the Issues” link for details on my position on these issues.
With your help, we can achieve a better and secure future for all of us, including our children and grandchildren. If you would like to volunteer in this campaign, see the “Contact Us” link. If you have not yet registered to vote, please go to the “Register to Vote” link and register today. Just as your vote counts, so does your financial assistance. No amount is too small; a donation of $20 will pay for four signs. And on November 4th, entrust me with your vote for a change for the better. Thank you again and I look forward to hearing from you and working for you in Congress.
CHRISTINA AVALOS SUPPORTS REGULATION
Congress needs to enact legislation to regulate corporations so that the American taxpayers will not be forced to bail out any more corporations like we are now doing for AIG. As a member of House committees, I would refuse to accept financial contributions from businesses I am overseeing.
For information on the incumbent Republican’s membership on the House Financial Services Committee and its Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigation, financial contributions accepted, and his position and votes on regulation, energy, the environment, veterans benefits, senior citizens, healthcare and other issues, go to the following web sites:
