I Will Vote For Weston Wamp - And Response (2)

Friday, July 13, 2012

I have had the privilege of knowing Weston Wamp for several years, first as a young businessman working with some of the brightest minds in our community and then as a candidate for Congress. Weston is passionate and prideful about being an American and making America a better place. He is fair, articulate and his constitutional intellect and breadth of knowledge of our state and federal governmental issues far surpasses the other candidates in this race. If you would have attended one of the debates/forums you would have seen this first hand.

The time has come to send a young, energetic, intelligent man to Washington who can make a difference and help break the cycle of the status quo mentality that is grid-locking our countries ability to move forward.

To dismiss Weston as too young to be a member of Congress is quite frankly ignorant, and it is insulting to all the young people who pay taxes, defend our country and who are going to bear the responsibility of the massive debt Congress is piling up every day.

I will vote for Weston Wamp, and I encourage anyone who cares about our country’s future to do the same.

Early voting has started.   I am sure some have not yet made up their mind about the 3rd District race.  

I would like to ask you to take a look at a young man who has the fire to do what he says he will do.  He will fight to gain our freedoms back that President Obama has taken from us.   He will fight for more personal responsibility and government accountability before it’s too late. 

Please vote for Weston Wamp.

Another Wamp?!  No thank you.  But here's to the cute little fella trying to follow in dad's footsteps of not getting a real job.

I’ve gotten hundreds of jokes since Tuesday when I wrote about feeling a little puny lately and expressing my belief that laughter is the best medicine.
