Just an update on Ms. Smith’s speech today announcing her run. Ms. Smith was stressing the need to get government out of the way of small business, and that initiatives must be taken to shrink government, especially at the federal level. She said that citizens were going to have to stop depending on government for the answers and recognize that government was the problem. She stressed that the problem in Washington was the Beltway mentality that needs an infusion of small town, heartland values and solutions, and promised to bring just that. She praised the Tea Party Movement and encouraged especially those in the Black Community to find out what that movement was about and to not judge it based on liberal media propaganda. She said that she was proud to be a Republican, but she is a Conservative first. This was all relayed to me by friends who attended. Since I now live in a neighboring state, it was a bit too far for a daytrip. She sounds impressive and refreshingly sincere.
Wow, from your description she sounds terrific. I’ll be keeping a close eye on this race.
