John is committed to reducing the cost of government as one of the centerpieces of his campaign.  He also stresses the importance of returning government to the founding fathers' intentions.  He believes that "Government service should be normal people, from all walks of life, offering to serve the community in goverment and then returning to their normal life after a short time."  He believes service in public office should not be about what the public servant receives, and it should not be about power.  Rather, public officials should focus on serving their community and the people they represent.  You can read more about John at http://www.starnewsdaily.com/local/local.php?display=detail&id=6db1d6831f457e98220366a8f7c9b6f0  and http://www.starnewsdaily.com/news/local.php?display=detail&id=5734f3669b37e2cb9b04124c741bff31  web site of the Chautauqua Star.  If you wish to speak with John, or help on the campaign, he can be reached at 716-679-0100.  You can see more and updates at www.tiny.cc//gulloforlegislator and http://twitter.com//vote4gullo.
