On February 23rd, Nathan Eaton officially filed for candidacy as Missouri State Representative for the 48th District in 2010. Frustrated with the current political climate that promotes parties over people, and in the spirit of true federalism, he is acting on his desire to make a difference. Nathan lives in Lee’s Summit with his wife Amanda and their two children, Rowan and Riley. They are expecting their third child in August. His decision to run for office is based on his desire to preserve the rights and liberties of his children and those of present and future generations of Missourians. He was drawn to study our nation’s history, constitution, and the writings of the founding fathers. This study enabled him to view current policies through the lens of the constitution and the framer’s thinking. Ultimately, his effort led him to the Constitution Party and its platform predicated on the principles of the Declaration and the Constitution. Both state and national government exist primarily to protect the unalienable rights of the people. History tells us that the states created and granted limited and specific powers to the national government. Nathan believes that freedom exists only when ultimate power rests in the hands of the people. These are difficult times. Jobs have been outsourced and many Missourians are out of work. This is not the time for citizens of our state to stand silent and subservient to increased taxes and an overbearing federal government which has created many of our problems. Politicians tend to be shortsighted. They typically concentrate on short-term solutions, while they endeavor to secure their re-election. Nathan believes that the key to our state and nation’s success lies in seeking long term, constitutional solutions that benefit citizens, not special interests. With an unbridled love for liberty, Nathan brings a staunch commitment to serve the people of his district and to protect their God-given rights. He is a proud free-market proponent, committed to stimulating entrepreneurship and employment by protecting businesses from costly government restrictions. The American spirit of ingenuity and compassion has made our country great. Those same principles can lead us to prosperity again. Nathan is dedicated to this cause, and with your help, and the help of the citizens in the 48th District, he will succeed. Raytown, MO- Nearly one in four Missouri motorists fail to regularly wear their seat belt in a motor vehicle. Only 76 percent of Missourians buckle up regularly, eight percent less than the national average of 84 percent.
Raytown Police announced today that they are joining with law enforcement November 18th, 2010 for an aggressive “Click It or Ticket” mobilization to crack down on Missouri’s safety belt law violators and to reduce highway fatalities. Failure to wear a seat belt can be deadly. In 2008 there were 489 people killed in traffic crashes when not wearing a seat belt. Seven out of ten Missourians killed in traffic crashes are unbuckled. Every day someone dies in a crash in Missouri because they weren’t buckled up according to the Highway Safety Division. The Raytown Police will be out there to remind you seat belts can and do save lives every day. For information on Missouri seatbelt usage, visit www. saveMOlives.com Two Raytown businesses were featured in the Kansas City Star’s article “Small shops endure for decades amid battles with the giants” in the Tuesday business section. The Star devoted about 1/2 the article to Raytown’s stores.
On a personal note, I use to drive from the Plaza area to shop at Smith Brothers often 25 years ago, before I moved to Raytown. I am not saying it is why I chose Raytown to buy my first home, but it helped.
