GREG HEARTSILL RECEIVES CAN-DO CONSERVATIVES OF AMERICA ENDORSEMENT

Greg Heartsill, Republican candidate for the new Iowa House District 28, has received the endorsement of the Can-Do Conservatives of America. 

The Can-Do Conservatives of America is the nation’s first Conservative political organization representing Americans with disabilities.  They are dedicated to giving Americans with disabilities a voice in the Conservative movement, advocating for policies that will put an end to the cycle of government dependence, and supporting Conservative candidates that promote these policies and will fight to carry them out.

Chairman Brian Donegan stated, “On behalf of our organization, I am pleased to publicly endorse Greg Heartsill.  After visiting with Greg, I know he is the candidate that will advance Conservative policy in the Iowa Legislature. I am convinced that if elected,, Greg will do fight for what is right right for Iowans and not just go along to get along in Des Moines.”

Heartsill will be a candidate on the Republican ballot for the June 5th Primary. The newly-formed Iowa House District 28 will be comprised of four townships in southern Jasper County, all of Marion County, except Pella and Lake Prairie Township, and the eastern half of Lucas County. For more information about Greg or his campaign, please visit www.heartsillforiowa.com.

Every ten years, depending on the results of the census States lose or gain Congressional seats.  One of the states that gained a Congressional district is The Palmetto State of South Carolina.  Recently I learned that former Lt. Governor André Bauer was considering a run for Congress.  A few weeks back he made it official.  We are very proud to endorse his campaign!

Last year during his run for Governor André stuck out his neck on principle and demanded an end to the cycle of Government dependence.  Democrats and even his Republican opponents threw the kitchen sink at him but André didn’t back down.  He paid a political price for standing for us and for what is right.  He was willing to stand up against an inconvenient truth and that is why we named him a “Can-Do Conservative Hero” last year.

Throughout his years representing the Palmetto State in its State Legislature andthen  as Lt. Governor, André Bauer took it upon himself to make sure that people with disabilities, Veterans, the elderly, and the poor were represented by offering a hand up to them instead of hand outs so that they were empowered. He was volunteering his time for those citizens even before his life of public service as a politician

André Bauer is the kind of Republican we need running and we need winning  The people of Coastal South Carolina should send him to Washington because he will go and fight for what is right, no matter what the consequences.  That is why we are proud to endorse his campaign for Congress!

Please visit André’s web site, “like” him on Facebook, follow the campaign on Twitter, and please make a contribution to André’s campaign to bring Common-sense Conservative leadership to Washington.

NOTE – There will be no endorsement given to any candidate in the 2012 GOP Presidential primary.  After the nominee is chosen we will then determine if the nominee is worthy of endorsement.

This Saturday in Iowa a very important forum will be held for the Republican Candidates for President, organized by The Family Leader, a Conservative organization led by former Gubernatorial candidate and “Can-Do conservative Hero” Bob Vander Plaats (he also serves as our honorary State Chairman).  the Forum will be moderated by Frank Luntz.  Back when the forum was announced a request went out for question to be asked at the forum and we submitted a question.  We are not aware if the following question will be asked so we are publishing that question public for everyone to see.

Due to the policies of the current administration, there is an accelerated vicious cycle of Government dependence that is robbing countless Americans (many who are poor and/or have disabilities) the opportunity to pursue the American Dream.   If elected, what is your plan to reverse this cycle?  

We hope that the Republican candidates for President will have the opportunity to be asked this question because it is definitely not being asked by the media in their so called “Debates” in which the American People end up learning nothing substantive about the candidates except whether they can answer questions (asked by moderators with biased agendas).

If any of the candidates answer this question, we will post their answers below.  .

Tuesday night’s election results were a mixed bag of success and defeat that left both sides of the political spectrum claiming victory with 2012 looming on the horizon.  One 2 of our candidates were successfully elected to office on Tuesday, Phil Bryant as Mississippi’s new Governor and Lynn Fitch as Mississippi’s new State Treasurer.  Another success was that Ohioans voted against the Obamacare mandate and we definitely applaud that (while sadly overturning the passed law that limited collective bargaining for public-sector unions that has been and now will continue to suck the coffers dry at state and local level).

The biggest disappointment of the evening was definitely the Personhood Amendment that failed in Mississippi.  However, over a quarter Million citizens declared with their vote that life begins at conception, despite a heavy smear campaign by Planned Parenthood.  The effort to get Personhood on the ballot is a very new one and we are glad that to hear that those in charge of the effort in Mississippi are not deterred and will try again.  We will fight with them from day one next time.

There were excellent candidates who did not win and policy ideas that failed at the ballot box on Tuesday but as 2012 draws near, regardless of outcome our fight continues and our resolve is steadfast. The endorsing and support of solid Conservative candidates will continue as we must increase the Conservative ranks in The House and a hopefully Republican Controlled Senate  to work with a Conservative President (or to keep an Establishment Republican accountable), as we definitely need to defeat the destructive polices of our current President.

As one of our elected States Reps in Iowa, Tom Shaw, likes to say – “We must endeavor to persevere”.  We must and we will!
