Cain: Freedom Has Never Been Free

U.S. Senate candidate calls Nation to unite in prayer

FOREST PARK, GA (May 6) - Republican U.S. Senate candidate and associate minister Herman Cain issued the following statement on the National Day of Prayer:

“The theme of the National Day of Prayer, ‘Let freedom ring’ is very appropriate during this time of turmoil in our country and around the world. Our country was born out of freedom. We live and breathe it everyday. It was because of our freedom that we were ruthlessly attacked on September 11, 2001, and it is because of our freedom that we persevere. We must always remember that freedom has never been free and we must continue to fight for it around the world.


“So, let us unite on this day, to pray for our soldiers, our leaders and our country. Let us pray for the families of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice and for the safety of those still fighting. Let us pray for continued leadership from President Bush. Let us pray for the people of Iraq, that they would be able to enjoy the freedom that we all share here in the United States. And let us always remain, one Nation, under God.”

------------------------------

Dear ______,

As you know, Georgians will go to the polls this year to replace retiring United States Senator Zell Miller.  Senator Miller has served our state with distinction and upheld the values Georgians share.  I am supporting Herman Cain as Senator Miller’s replacement, and I’d like to tell you why.

Herman Cain has over 35 years of successful business experience, holding such positions as Chairman, CEO and President of Godfather’s Pizza, Chairman, CEO and President of the National Restaurant Association, Chairman and President of the Tax Leadership Council of Americans For Fair Taxation, Director and Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Vice President of Pillsbury and he serves on the Boards of Directors of various companies.

I am supporting Herman because he knows that we must boldly address our nation’s problems.  He is not interested in incremental changes to the big issues that must be fixed immediately.  Herman wants to replace the current income tax code with the Fair Tax, which will unleash the full potential of our economy and create more opportunities for all Americans.  He wants to restructure the Social Security system, by keeping the promise to our parents and grandparents, but also allowing younger workers to invest in alternative plans.  Herman also wants to reduce government interference in the health care industry.  All Georgians will have access to affordable, quality care when we end frivolous lawsuits and remove the barriers that prevent a doctor and patient from making the patient’s best health care choices.

I am also supporting Herman because I am convinced that he is the only Republican candidate who can win a statewide election.  He has the largest statewide base of grassroots support, and his list of supporters grows daily as he campaigns all across Georgia.  His primary competitor, Johnny Isakson, has lost two statewide campaigns and has changed his positions on a wide array of issues.  The citizens of Georgia are embracing Herman’s straight forward, common sense conservative message and his willingness to show leadership by tackling the big issues head-on. 

Please take time to look at Herman’s website, www.cainforussenate.org, or call his office at 404-366-8101 to find out more about his experience and positions on the issues.  While you’re there, be sure to sign up to volunteer your time to Herman’s campaign as your schedule permits.  If you or someone you know is not registered to vote, you can download a voter registration form from Herman’s website as well. 

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to working with you on “Team Cain!” 

Sincerely,

(Your Name)

P.S. Don’t forget to vote July 20th, ask for the Republican ballot, and cast your vote for Herman Cain for Georgia’s next U.S. Senator!

---------------------------------------------------

Letter to the Editor

A great way to express your support for Herman's campaign for U.S. Senate is to write letters to the editor of your local or area newspaper, and encourage your friends and family to do the same.  Your letter can express why Herman Cain is the most qualified and capable candidate for U.S. Senate, and why you support his message of common sense solutions to the big issues and protection of Georgia's values, including replacing the federal income tax code, protecting the lives of the unborn, strengthening the military and helping President Bush by approving conservative judges.

The following are examples of recently published letters from Team Cain members George Barthel of Peachtree City and Peggy Heatherman Kageleiry of Augusta.  Thanks George and Peggy!

Cain is the real thing for U.S. Senate
Published in the Fayette Citizen

When we support and ultimately vote for the candidate of our choice, we should select the one candidate who has the principles, values, and new ideas we like. I see Herman Cain as the only real candidate in this race for United States Senate.

Both Congressman Isakson and Collins are well-respected gentlemen. However, we have to decide on who offers the best in terms of taking on challenges such as reforming our silly tax code and Social Security. We have a looming crisis in Social Security. And, marginal tax rates are too high.

Herman Cain speaks with conviction on these issues. The other candidates are saying what the President wants to do and not what THEY want to do.

George E. Barthel, Jr.
Peachtree City, Ga.

 

Cain can make things happen
Published in the Augusta Chronicle

With all the buzz about Bush, Kerry, Nader and the effect of terrorism, it's easy to forget how much effect we can have over the process. The Senate race this year is one place. ...

We need fresh leadership in Washington. And I'm not just talking about a change, but as when a new company hires an outside CEO with true experience and the ability to make real change. ...

That's why I suggest Herman Cain for Zell Miller's replacement. He's a proven problem-solver and a self-made man who can understand the average Georgian - because that's where he came from. He's a successful leader, having made Godfather's Pizza the multi-million-dollar business it is. He's a man of principle who will not bow before political pressure or owe a lot of favors when he gets to Washington, as some others might. He is a fresh start. He is an outsider from the Beltway, but an insider when it comes to truly making change happen. He's done it before! What better man for the job?

Cain wants to replace the current income tax code with a national sales tax that will unleash the full potential of our economy and create more opportunities for Americans. He wants to restructure the Social Security system, by keeping the promise to our parents and grandparents, but also allowing younger workers to invest in alternative plans. He also wants to reduce government interference in health care. ...

Cain supports a strong national defense and President Bush's dedication to homeland security, and believes that our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms must be vigorously protected. Herman believes that life begins at conception, and he will fight hard to save the lives of unborn children.

Cain believes in all the things mainstream Georgians believe. Many candidates do. But Cain is the one who can stand out from the crowd and make those things happen. ...

Peggy Heatherman Kageleiry, Augusta

I used to own a chain of pizza reaturants when Cain was first named CEO of Godfathers, lead the employee buyout and ran them into the ground.

He shouldn't run on his Godfathers' record anymore than Kerry should run on his Viet Nam record.

.This isn't to say he's not the best candidate.
