Ladies and Gentlemen,

As many of you probably realized, I had taken a little break from writing this blog while collecting
petition signatures.  I have received word that I am on the ballot and moving forward full steam ahead. Many exciting events are coming up.

I sit in the home my wife and I purchased to begin our life together writing this letter on Labor Day.
Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the
social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the
contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. Without
the hard work and dedication of the workers before us, my wife and I would not have the ability to
provide for our children’s futures.

Labor Day was originally organized to celebrate various labor associations' strengths and contributions
to the United States economy. It is largely a day of rest now – but is that by choice for most Americans?
Many people mark Labor Day as the end of the summer season and a last chance to make trips or hold
outdoor events, unfortunately many people today cannot afford those opportunities.

Unemployment is on the rise and in Georgetown County, SC our unemployment is over 10%. That is
simply unacceptable and that is why I have decided to run for State House Seat 103. If the people we elect
are not representing us then it is time to replace those people. If their ideas are not working, get new
ideas. If the politicians are not working, get representatives who will work.

We the People need jobs and in order to get jobs we need business, infrastructure, and economic
stability. The Government was founded to provide us with an atmosphere that we could create our
own success – not dependence. The American work force created the highest standard of living and
the greatest production the world has ever known and has brought us closer to the realization of our
traditional ideals of economic and political democracy. It is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pays
tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation's strength, freedom, and leadership — the
American worker.

As citizens, it is time to rise up and elect representatives in order to create more jobs for these workers,
so that each American can be successful and provide for their families. I ask for your support, whether
it be contributing $25 or $2,500.  I ask for your support by spreading the word and volunteering with the
campaign. I ask for your support by voting for me November 6, 2012.

Tom Winslow

Candidate for House Seat 103
