Q: Wht do th hg ou
wt look lik?George (Duvall)
Darcy: The biggest changewe must make is savingthe middle class. In the last8 years, the middle classhas been under relentlessattack, with incomes goingdown while costs haveskyrocketed. Our tax systemis rigged so that the middleclass is subsidizing everyone
else including the twoout o three corporations inAmerica that pay no ederal
income taxes! Its time webrought back economicairness.

Amanda and Jay (Orting)
Darcy: When elected, thefrst bill I introduce will cutyour taxes. My plan gives
middle class amiliesmore than $4000
o tax relie. Iyou go to mywebsite: www.darcyburner.com
you can see how itputs money backinto your pocket.
Q: you ou

Bill (Black Diamond)
Darcy: My dad enlistedin the Air Force, myhusband Mike is anArmy vet, my brotherJason was in the 101stAirborne and was one
o the frst sent to Iraq.
I have many cousins who
have served. Thats why I amso determined that those whoserve us with courage anddedication get the respectand benefts they deserve.
Q:Who i ou ho?
Yu-Mai (Crossroads)
Darcy: My dad! Our amilywas very blue collar and wenever had much. But my dad
worked hard and he kept our
amily together. From him Ilearned about hard work andloyalty and never giving up.By the way, even though hesa Republican, he really wantsme to win!
Q: Do ou thik phmit
hould b bl to u to ll
bith otol pill?
Delilah (Puyallup)
Darcy: Absolutely not! My
opponent and I stronglydisagree on this issue. Whena woman comes in with a
valid prescription rom herdoctor or birth control pills,she has the right to havethat prescription flled asany prescription should beflled. Pharmacists havea code o ethics that saysthey must put the needs otheir patients frst. Womenare entitled to make theirown decisions about suchpersonal things.
Q: Wht w do to d

Jose (Auburn)
Darcy:The most importantaction citizens can take isto vote or new leaders whoare committed to changingthe Bush war policies. Ishowed that commitment
What does change look like?when, working with generals
and experts, I wrote TheResponsible Plan to End the
War in Iraq. My opponenthas supported Bush warpolicies 100% o the time. I
you want to end the war, weneed new leadership in D.C.
Q:Im 8 d om o mid th ot votig.

Darcy:Tell them thiselection is about themand their uture. Unless
we change course thisNovember, your generation
will be less well o than yourparents generation orthe frst time in Americanhistory. So, or their ownsakes, they need to getinvolved and vote or change
Q: Thi pig I got lot o

Darcy: Wow! Good questionId have to say its that I am afghter. All my lie I have hadto fght or whatever I got.
Nothing came easily. So,I learned early on to nevergive up. In representingthe people o the 8th District,thats probably a pretty goodquality to have!
Our tax system
is rigged so that
the middle class
is subsidizing
everyone else.
Its time we brought
back economic
fairness.

since President Bush took ofce,
while gas and ood prices haveskyrocketed.
What happened to the middle class?
It used to be a person could
make a living waiting tables ordriving a truck. I remember
working or a small print shop
and making enough to rent a little
apartment and pay my bills. Now
my riends daughter cant make
enough working two jobs to get her
own place.
The great American middle class
is in trouble. Working hard and
playing by the rules is no longer areal path to economic security. Its
just not that simple anymore.
The rules arent always air.
The disastrous fscal policies o
George Bushsupported by Dave
Reichertgave special tax breaks
to corporations and the super rich.
Income or the average American
amily went down $1000 a year
These ailed Bush-Republican
policies have put our country injeopardy, with ballooning ederal

debt o almost $10 trillion and an
increased reliance on oreign oil.
Our unsound economic policies
have us in serious fnancial debt to
China and other nations, and our
good jobs are increasingly going
overseas, while the war in Iraq
continues to siphon money rom
important needs here at home.
Practical solutionsChange is possible, with
practical solutions. I will use my
business experience to crunch
the numbers and work towards
realistic policies to strengthen the
middle class, invest in economic
growth or our country, and
return the government to fscalresponsibility.
Invest in AmericaIn the U.S. we use 20.7 million
barrels o oil a day, which cost us
over $700 billion a year. The priceo gas has gone up 120% in the last

We need to invest in clean energy
here at home.
This environmentally riendly
strategy will create jobs, reduce
our dependency on oreign oil and
lower energy costs. I will scrap
policies that encourage outsourcing
and manuacturing decline.
We need to encourage job
creation here at home. We are an
innovative and hard-working nation
and we can get the job done.
A super-rich hedge und
manager like John Paulson
shouldnt be the only person
enjoying the benefts o our labor.
He made $3.7 billion dollars last
year and he paid a lower tax rate
than middle-class amilies.
I want to level the playing feld so
that everyone has the opportunity
to live the American Dream.
$600The average Bush tax cut or
the remaining 99%.
$92,000The average Bush tax cut or the top 1%(those making over $462,000 a year)
To restore fairness to the
system, while rewarding
those whose income comesfrom work, I support a
simple proposal doubling
your standard deduction.

Ihave been thinking a lot lately about
the difference between the goodnessof community and the excesses of
government overreach.
Our community was terric to my
family after our house re. So many
people wanted to help, in big and
small ways. One of the best moments
was minutes after we ed, when Henry
was still in his t-shirt and the under-
wear hed been sleeping in. A neighbor
across the street saw us and brought
over a pair of pants, socks, and shoesfor Henry. I have never felt so grateful
for the kindness of neighbors.
Community matters.
Community works together to solve
problems. But government interfer-
ence with our private lives creates
problems rather than solving them.
Respect property rights
We have local government that tries to
control what we do on our own property
even when we do no harm. Like nearlyeveryone I know in our rural areas, I
think the Critical Areas Ordinances go
way too far in taking away private prop-
erty. I was glad to see a court declare
them illegal recently. But in the mean-
time, they are making it much harder for
my family to rebuild our house.
Respect civil liberties
We have a federal government that
goes to extremes and oversteps eventhe Constitution in trying to control
us. When replacing my handgun, I
was reminded that during Hurricane
Katrina, law-abiding citizens had their
guns conscated. I got my concealed
carry permit and learned to use a gun
on the advice of the police when a
stalker threatened my life. My Sec-
ond Amendment rights to self-defense
need to be respected.
Respect private decisions
We have politicians who think thatthey are entitled to make the most per-
sonal of decisions for us. Even access
to something as simple and straightfor
ward as birth control is under attack.
Yes, birth control! My opponent is
one of those politicians who thinks he
should get to decide whether you can
use those little round cases of pills. I
think he should stay out of your busi-
ness. You are entitled to decide for
yourself how many children you want,and when you want them.
There are some basic rules I learned
as a kid that are at stake in this elec-
tion. Everyone should be treated fairly
As free people, government should
stay out of our private lives. And we
can solve our problems if we stand to-
gether, work hard, and never give up.
Im looking forward to working hard
for you in Washington, D.C.
