[Note: I asked TonyPalmeri.com readers to comment on whether I should run for the 54th assembly district seat this year. The following note is from reader Mark Habeck]. Tony Palmeri.
Should Tony Run?
The short answer is, absolutely.
As a card carrying member of the Republican National Party, I can say that Tony would have my full support and, most importantly my vote.
Why, you might ask? I, like many of Dr. Palmeri’s former students, know firsthand his dedication to critical thinking, not political deal-making. Wisconsin needs citizens to rise up and challenge the incumbent view of “me-first” political survival. We must return to a “Wisconsin-first” mentality. I believe that Dr. Palmeri would cast politics aside and do what he believes is in the best interests of the citizens instead of the best interests of the party. I may not agree with his vote, but I agree with his critical analysis and not being a “yes man.”
Secondly, I believe that Dr. Palmeri is a man of character and integrity. He is honest, straight forward, and can articulate his viewpoint. With him, you get what you see.
Next, Dr. Palmeri can look at the totality of the issue and ask relevant questions to make an informed decision. He has his views, as we all do, but I believe he is willing and able to listen to multiple ideas instead of jumping to conclusions.
I enjoy listening to Rush, watching O’Reilly, and shopping at Wal-Mart, but I trust Tony. And will vote for him as part of the solution in Madison.
