~Mumpower for Congress Committee~
Press Release
Friday, March 21, 2008
Responding to mounting pressures from within his own
party to change his position on proposed additional immunity for
telecommunications companies, 11th District Republican
Congressional Candidate Carl Mumpower proclaimed, I am not for sale," in
a Good Friday press release.
Voters who want someone willing to abandon his principles to
artificially support the Republican party need to look elsewhere, said
Mumpower. I am an authentic conservative I'm not a party hack
willing to fall into the line when I'm told to especially considering how
often my party has betrayed its core values in recent years.
The additional retroactive immunity provisions found in
FISA are a con job, said Mumpower. Yet,
normally 'right-thinking' Republicans are sadly just falling 'right-into-line'
and in the process, sacrificing their integrity, liberty, and the Constitution
for fear-based arguments and the good graces of party leaders."
This is one of the reasons I will accept only personal campaign
contributions and none from unions, PACs, business groups, or
even the Republican National Congressional Committee, said Mumpower. I will serve independently, from a principled
position that it is clear and up-front or I will not serve at all. I will not be beholden to special interests or
the Republican party structure. I am not
for sale.
