This will be part of an on-going series, which will identify key races where we either need to retain strong conservatives or to elect strong conservatives. My personal feeling with being faced with two inferior candidates for President offered by our major political parties, we must turn our attention to insuring more conservative American-values oriented persons are elected to the U.S. Congress.
THE RACE
The next congressional race that we will highlight is Colorado District 4. I suggest that all conservatives in Colorado U.S. District 4 and elsewhere support Representative Marilyn Musgrave (R-CO), Republican incumbent
She is a strong pro-life and pro-family leader. Mrs. Musgrave is a conservative known for her staunch opposition to same-sex marriage. I have personally heard her speak at 2006 Values Voters Summit in Washington DC and she is convincingly conservative on the issues with which I am most concerned She was the original sponsor of Federal Marriage Protection Amendment and is a strong pro-life supporter. She also is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment.
THE RATING
Musgrave is rated as a hard-core conservative. She has represented her district since 2003. See OnTheIssues.com.
Representative Musgrave’s opponent is Democrat Betsy Markey, a businesswoman and regional director for Colorado Senator Ken Salazar.
THE REALITIES
Marilyn Musgrave will be in a tough race to maintain her seat in Congress. It is important that she remains in Congress. The Democrats covet her set and dislike everything for which she stands.
THE RESOURCES
To support Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave, which I urge you to do, see his website to learn more about her, to make a campaign contribution, to volunteer your service, etc.
Of course I agree with her on the issues of abortion, traditional marriage, and the second amendment.
ReplyDeleteBut the fact that she wants to bring back a welfare-type program that even President Bush got rid of, gives her away as being a socialist. (And she has the gall to criticize him for excessive spending - http://www.votesmart.org/speech_detail.php?sc_id=182622)
And Federal money for student loans? This money is used to teach evolution, false religions, and tolerance of disgusting sexual behaviors.
Of course, her opponent is probably worse, but I'm certainly not going to endorse her.
