American Heroes Ready and Willing to Serve in Congress
America, if you love your freedom, thank a vet! And if youre looking for leaders who believe in integrity, service, and country first, look to our veterans.
Last week I campaigned for a true American hero, John McCain, and this week Id ask you to join me in supporting a new generation of heroes who are heeding their countrys call for leadership in Washington.
There are a number of great veteran candidates running for office this year, and there are some excellent organizations dedicated to helping them, including: Iraq Vets for Congress and Combat Veterans for Congress (please click on the links to visit their websites).
There are three veterans in particular Ill be supporting this week.
The first is Major Vaughn Ward, a fourth-generation Idaho native who grew up on his familys farm in Shoshone and is running in Idahos 1st Congressional District. Coming from a family with a proud military tradition, Vaughn joined the Marine Corps after college and was finishing up his service when the September 11th attacks occurred. He put his life on hold and heeded his countrys call serving first as a CIA Operations Officer and later volunteering with the Marine Corps for a combat tour in Iraq, during which he was awarded the Bronze Star with Combat V. After returning from Iraq, Vaughn went to work for the McCain/Palin campaign. I was grateful for his support then, and Im happy to support him now because I know that he believes in the same commonsense conservative ideals that we cherish. Vaughn knows that real job growth comes from the private sector, not government. He believes in free market reforms, tax relief for families and small businesses, and a return to a constitutionally limited government that lives within its means. Hell carry the conservative banner to Washington and will rein in the reckless growth of government to get it back on our side. And remember, a vote for Vaughn is a vote to remove the gavel from Nancy Pelosis grip. Please visit Vaughns website here to make a donation to his campaign, and follow him on Facebook and Twitter.
The second veteran is Captain Adam Kinzinger, a decorated special-operations pilot who flew combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Adam is running for Illinois 11th Congressional District against a freshman incumbent congresswoman who seemed to pull a bait and switch on voters to get elected. She sounded like a blue dog on the campaign trail, but didnt vote like one in Washington. Instead, she voted in lockstep with the Pelosi agenda on Obamacare, the stimulus, cap-and-tax and the list goes on. Shes part of the reason for Congress 11% approval rating. Adam is a strong fiscal conservative with a proven track record as a reformer from his years serving on his local county board. Adam started out in local office, and, like many of us, believes in making government more accountable to the people. When you serve in local office, your constituents truly are your neighbors. Adam understands this, and I know that he will listen to his constituents and work for us, not against us, in Washington. Please visit Adams website here to make a donation to his campaign, and follow him on Facebook and Twitter.
The third veteran is Lieutenant Colonel Allen West, a decorated war hero whos served with distinction in combat zones in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many of you may have heard of Allen from a speech he gave last year that became a viral video on YouTube with over 2 million viewers. Allens personal story is a testament to the commonsense conservative belief that our nations greatness is rooted in freedom, because with freedom comes equal opportunity, and that, coupled with hard work, leads to success. Allen is a small government fiscal conservative running against a leftwing ideologue whos marched to the beat of Nancy Pelosi on every issue from cap-and-tax to the stimulus, TARP, and, of course, Obamacare. Its time to send Allen to Washington in his place. Please visit Allens website here to donate to his campaign, and follow him on Facebook and Twitter.
I believe that these great veterans will fight for us in D.C. to uphold and defend our constitution as courageously in the halls of Congress as they did on the field of battle. Im so honored to offer my support to these American heroes, and I hope youll join me in helping them so that they can serve us all in Washington.
- Sarah Palin
Breazeale never said she endorsed him. He said he was pleased to see she supports a organization that has also endorsed him. She will endorse more from that list I suspect.
I didn’t think it was splitting hairs. She mentioned 3 specific candidates — they were the ones who got endorsed. She mentioned organizations that we should support.
It doesn’t mean that she explicitly endorses all the candidates supported by those organizations. Braezel doesn’t say it does, but his “Palin endorsed my supporter” is certainly meant to leave the impression that Palin is endorsing him, without actually saying it.
