Providing for the common defense. Building roads and bridges. Promoting a healthy business climate. Caring for those who can't take care of themselves. As Republicans, we agree on what the essential responsibilities of government are.
We should also agree that government needs to be small, effective and efficient. That means there are many responsibilities the government should not take on. As Republicans we should all agree that Connecticut's citizens shouldn't be forced through higher taxes to pay for political campaigns. As a Republican, I don't like the idea of having my tax dollars go to commercials and campaign consultants for Democrats. Yet, that's exactly what we are forced to do under the Citizens' Election Program.
Our state is hundreds of millions of dollars in the red. Most candidates for governor, while talking about fiscal responsibility and reducing the cost of government, are hoping to get up to $4.5 million from the state to pay for their campaigns. Tom disagrees and I know you do, as well.
Thanks for your support. With your help, we're making sure that this is one campaign that won't add to your tax bill.

Campaign Manager, Tom Foley for Governor
