About the candidate

Marge Krupp says that she is inspired to run for the House of Representatives because incumbent Republican Congressman Paul Ryan of the 1st Congressional District consistently represents the privileged few at the expense of working families in the District. Congressman Ryan holds stubborn support for President George Bush's war in Iraq even after the voters spoke clearly in November of 2006 that we the people want a different direction. She felt so strongly that she resigned her marketing job to devote her full time and talents to her campaign to defeat Congressman Paul Ryan 2008 campaign.

Marge feels that it is her duty to her country to end the lies and half truths that President George W. Bush and Republican Congressman Paul Ryan stubbornly adhere to.

She is running as a Democratic Candidate for U.S. Congress to address three major issues:

	1.	Ending the War in Iraq
	2.	Working for Real Solutions to the Health Care Crisis in America
	3.	Supporting Working Families

She says: "We need a Representative who will offer real leadership on President George W. Bush's Iraq War instead of Congressman Paul Ryan’s rubber-stamping the failures of President George W. Bush. For the people in Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District, the choice is between Bush and Ryan's support for indefinite occupation and my demand for a real plan that will bring our troops home and strengthen our national security. While our soldiers have accomplished everything that has been asked of them, there is still no plan from Bush and Ryan to start bringing our troops home."
