The way out is a change of direction, a change of foreign policy, a change of congressional leadership with a new speaker. Let the House-cleaning begin at home in the 11th district. Jerry McNerney, a wind energy consultant, understands that the days of fossil fuel and oil dependence are numbered. Alternative sources of energy are in the early days of exploration. McNerney will work with those in congress who envision a clean, pollution free environment for our children's generation and all the generations to come. Science and technology will provide the resources for a healthy environment with clean air, clean water and clean earth. Endangered species will be a footnote in history.

It is time for a change in leadership. It is time to elect someone who will serve the best interests of all the people, all species and mother earth. I urge you to vote for Jerry McNerney.

Reid Cerney
