GALLUP: Trust in Federal Government, On Nearly All Issues, Hits New Low — Even Less Than in Watergate Era

NEW YORK A new Gallup poll reveals that, as the organization puts it, Americans now “express less trust in the federal government than at any point in the past decade, and trust in many federal government institutions is now lower than it was during the Watergate era, generally recognized as the low point in American history for trust in government.”
…
Faith in the executive branch has fallen to 43% — only 3% higher than it was just before President Nixon’s resignation in 1974. At the same time, trust in Congress, at 50%, is its lowest ever.
…
Gallup adds: “The candidates running for president in 2008 will be trying to win over a skeptical public. Just 55% of Americans express trust in the ‘men and women in political life in this country who either hold or are running for public office.’ That matches the low Gallup found in 2001.”

Do we vote for the candidate who is relying on the leaders of that failing Congress to boost her support? Who brought in Nancy Pelosi and Bill Clinton to run fundraisers for her recently? Who campaigns on her connections in Washington?

Candidate Jim Ogonowski is running to change this. A candidate like him brings trust and value back to the Congress.

He speaks of a Congress that works together to solve problems. He wants to find the best ideas and guide them to success.

Beholden to none in Washington, Ogonowski is one of us now, and will speak for us when he gets to Congress.

When you think about all the people in Congress, ask yourself which of them you would trust with your future, your family’s best interest.. your wallet.

Lt Col Jim Ogonowski is a man of integrity, a hard worker, and a 28 year military veteran who knows the needs of our towns and cities.

He’s a candidate looking to bring trust back to Washington.. and the 5th District can trusts that he will do what he says.

Can you really feel the same about the opposing candidate?
