- Herger
finally has a viable Democratic competitor

A lifelong Democrat I have often gulped hard
and supported Wally Herger. I have been motivated
not by his politics but by the fact that he
is a personable and hard-working representative
who seems to provide excellent service to his
constituents. These qualities overrode the fact
that, with a few exceptions, his vote is usually
nothing more than a rubber stamp for administration
policies.
That, added to the weakness of past Democatic
candidates, has ensured a cakewalk for Herger
in past years. While he probably will win
again this year, at least the Democrats
have put forward a qualified candidate in
A. J. Sekhon, who is both a medical
doctor and a lawyer.
Beside his two doctoral degrees Sekhon is
also a colonel in the Army Reserve, having
served on active duty during both Gulf wars.
With this experience he has an excellent background
on the needs of military personnel and veterans.
He also has a deep understanding of the geopolitical
environment facing us in the Middle East.
Although, like all freshmen representatives,
he may be a bit naïve on the way things
are done in the halls of Congress, he impresses
me as a quick learner.
For the first time Herger faces a candidate
who in most other districts would be a formidable
opponent.

is a disabled american veteran. Colonel Sekhon
has commanded 4 different medical units.
In 1998, a hospital under
his command was the only hospital among all
of the active and reserve components hospitals
to pass the mobex exercise.
- Colonel Sekhon has been recently selected
to command another Combat Support Hospital.
- He provides free medical care to any and
all disabled American veterans.
Dr. Arjinderpal Singh Sekhon said
that he is running for Congress because:
- Our current leadership is not effectively
working for American Citizens.
- Our National Security at a higher risk than
ever before.
- America is currently engaged in a war with
minimal allies, with no effective plan of
action.
- The current majority in both the House of
Representatives and Senate have made no effort
to control our President's spending, which
has led to an outrageous deficit and a constant
vote to increase our national debt.
- This Administration is not a party of fiscal
responsibility!
- The current tax credit favors America's
wealthiest at the cost of lowering funding
for education and healthcare.
- Every American has felt the repercussion
of this leadership, from families affected
by the gas price increase to our own Veterans
that have had their benefits significantly
reduced. When will this irresponsibility end?
We can no longer live on false promises or
hopes.
It is time for change. It is time to hold
those in Congress including Wally Herger accountable
for our country's direction. These are the reasons
I want to run for office and represent you.
This is why I need your support!
