The Global Climate Breakdown?

This is image of the Arctic sea ice on September 13, 2012, the day it shrank to the smallest surface area since records began.

This photo illustrates what many climate scientists have been saying: global climate breakdown is proceeding more rapidly than they expected.

“A man’s character is best judged by his actions not his intents.”

I have had the opportunity and honor of getting to know Gerry Walsh as a professional and person over the last 5 years.

He understands the unique cultural, economic, and political challenges our region faces at a local and national level. That is why Gerry has a solid plan and list of priorities to help navigate and protect our interest creating the foundation for us to prosper over next four years if elected this October 20th, 2012. The people of our community deserve to be represented by someone with class and dignity who doesn’t just talk about accountability but who embodies it. He has proven and shown himself worthy of the public’s trust.
