Andrei Cherny announces for CD 9

Email announcement from Andrei Cherny for U.S. Congress:

The promise of America is that if you work hard, you can get ahead.  But today that promise is at risk with families working longer hours and spending less time with their kids, yet still finding themselves stuck in place or falling behind.

That’s why I’m announcing my candidacy for the United States Congress – to save our trampled middle class and renew America’s promise.

We have a Congress that has betrayed the values that have made America great.  We’re not investing enough in education and innovation, we’re rewarding recklessness and greed, and we’re letting irresponsibility in Washington subsidize irresponsibility on Wall Street.  For all the talk that Washington is broken, the truth is that it works great for those with the right connections.  The problem isn’t that Washington’s not working – it’s that it’s not working for us.

If you’ve been waiting to be part of a new kind of politics, and a crusade to save our middle class, I hope you’ll join our people-powered campaign by signing up to volunteer or making a contribution today.  And please watch my short announcement video [below the fold] and forward it on to all those you know who care about America’s future:

In Arizona’s new Ninth congressional district – and across our country – people are looking for something different than what we’ve been getting from Washington.  From north central Phoenix through Tempe and Ahwatukee to Chandler and Mesa, families are finding it harder to make ends meet, students are climbing deeper in debt, and homeowners are underwater without any relief in sight.

They need a representative who will change Washington and not fit right in, who will offer bold new ideas and not just tiny tinkers, and who will deliver real results and not the same tired talking points.  

Rebuilding the middle class needs to be the next chapter of America’s history.  It won’t be easy.  And it won’t happen through politics as usual or the usual politicians.  But we can do it – we’ve done it before– and we can start right here.

Thanks,
Andrei
