The 2008 election year will be one of the most historic in our time. With the Democratic party still in a dogfight over who their nominee will be the Republican party is staying the course and could benefit from all the mud slinging that is taken place. There are also many local and state positions that are up for grabs. And with several Congressional positions up for re-election the house and senate could be reshaped for 2009 and beyond. One of those races involves Dr John Fleming a conservative running in the 4th Congressional District in Louisiana. We had a chance to review his positions on many topics such as Controlling Illegal Immigration, Cutting Spending, Lowering Taxes, Defeating Terrorism, Protecting Right to Life, and Traditional Values.

Being a conservative and advocate for small business I am in favor of lessing the tax burden on individuals and businesses. Instead of increasing the size of government and creating more programs we need to allow the capitalism to flourish. John Fleming comes from a background as a small business owner and a physician so he knows intimately the struggle of business and the individual. He is not a professional politician that is looking to gain a power position. He has some great videos that outline his positions and what he plans to do about such as issues as fair tax, right to life, and national defense and security. Dr. Fleming went into the Navy after completing medical school and his stance is take a hard line on those that threaten this country and more importantly stand behind and support our troops as that protect our freedom. Electing individuals like John Fleming for congress can only help to strengthen our country in this time of uncertainty. We need leaders in congress who are not afraid to fight for the people and not just for a select few of individuals and interest groups.
