Tonight, I will be participating in a forum at the Catfish Opry in Noxapater at 7:00 p.m. There will be a dinner beginning at 5:30; the cost is $25. Also, the Stennis Institute is hosting a debate this Wednesday at Southwest Community College's Fine Arts Building in Summit. The Summit debate will begin at 7:00 p.m. with doors opening at 6:00 p.m. If you are in the area, I hope that you will stop by.

Everywhere I go, people ask me about the economy. People know that jobs and economic opportunity are important. The role of government should be to provide an environment for businesses to prosper. Government should ensure that our transportation and infrastructure systems meet the needs of business development, and government should also keep taxes low and ensure a predictable and fair legal system.

In Mississippi, we showed this formula works. Over the past four years, over 40,000 new jobs have been created by the private sector. The pro-business environment created by the passage of tort reform and not raising taxes created the environment for this to happen. I am proud to have drafted the tort reform bill while serving in the legislature. I also had the highest business rating in the Senate, and when I get to Washington I will have the same pro-business values. If you want to know how I will help businesses while in Congress, just look at what I did in the Mississippi Legislature.

Our first television commercial aired this past week. I hope that you have had an opportunity to view it. If not, click here to watch online.

We have a continuing need for volunteers to help with mailings. Also, next weekend we will walk neighborhoods in Meridian trying to get my message out. If you are interested in either of these opportunities, please contact the campaign office at 601-362-7677. I am very grateful to the folks who have been helping the campaign. With your help, we will be successful in the primary and the general elections.

The election is March 11. Many schools will be on Spring Break during this time. If you are going to be out of town on Election Day, I encourage you to cast an absentee ballot. Contact your local circuit clerk to see about voting absentee if you are not going to be in town for the election.

Until next time,


Charlie Ross
