RIGHT ON, WITH NORTH

I'm a Vietnam combat veteran, but I'm not going to vote for Oliver North because I think he's a hero.

I'm a Christian, but I'm not going to vote for Oliver North because he professes to be a Christian.

I'm a conservative, but I'm not going to vote for Oliver North because he promotes conservative values.

I'm pro-life, but I`m not going to vote for Oliver North because he believes in the right to life.

I'm not a hypocrite, so I can't say I'm not going to vote for Oliver North because he told a lie.

I'm going to vote for Oliver North because he scares the pants off the ``professional politicians'' who have done nothing for America and everything to empower themselves and expand the role of government into our private lives.

Let those who have never told a lie cast the first ballot to be ``Robbed'' of more individual rights, freedoms and income.

I believe in the rights of people, not the rights of government. That's why I'll vote Right on.
