DeMint Statement on TSA Nominee
Office of Senator Jim DeMint ^ | January 1, 2010 | Staff

January 1, 2010 - WASHINGTON, D.C - Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) made the following statement about President Obama’s nominee to lead the Transportation Security Administration (TSA):

"Erroll Southers has not been forthcoming about whether he'll give union bosses control of our airport security, which is one of the most important decisions he'll make as head of the TSA. Mr. Southers' unwillingness to form a position on collective bargaining seriously calls into question his judgment, because it weakens security and has already been rejected by the CIA, the FBI, the Secret Service, the Coast Guard, and by every previous TSA administrator."

“And now we learn that he misled Congress in sworn testimony about accessing confidential records. The TSA is one of the most critical security agencies in the War on Terror, and the Senate must carefully vet this nominee. If Mr. Southers is unwilling to put security ahead of politics and if he can't tell the truth, then he's not qualified and should not be confirmed."

Senator DeMint works hard for us. He never stops. I’d really love him to be our next president.

Good luck to us. The Unions OWN Zero and he will make sure there is heavy payback to them. The collective intelligence of the voters took a steep nosedive last November and We, the People, will be paying the price for decades to come.
