Letter: Silberstein not a go-along-to-get-along pol


Silberstein breaks from state's same old politics

Editor, Townsman:

Democrats have a clear choice for state senate this Sept. 14. We can sleepwalk along and nominate a candidate who represents the tired past, or, we can make an intelligent selection and nominate someone who gives us hope for the future.

Debbie Silberstein is the candidate of hope. She offers us a break from the same old go-along-to-get-along politics of Beacon Hill. She has her priorities straight. As the daughter of immigrants, she bootstrapped her way up the ladder to success. She understands that jobs and education are the keys to achieving the American dream. She is the embodiment of that dream and an inspiration for all who aspire to it.

I want to be represented in the state senate, not by someone who has the most signs plastered all over town, but by someone who has the sensibilities to enact real reform for the good of her constituents. That's why I'm voting for Silberstein in the Sept. 14 primary and encourage every thoughtful Democrat to join me.
