~From the desk of the Candidate~

Press Release

Monday, May 26, 2008

The Senate joined the House last week to override President Bush's Farm Bill veto, all but assuring success for those supporting the 300 billion dollar legislation. The bill received strong support from both parties with Elizabeth Dole, Heath Shuler and Richard Burr all voting in favor of the bill - a "disturbing" partnership according to 11th District Republican Congressional Candidate Carl Mumpower.

"The 2008 Farm Bill is filled with bloat and social agendas seeking to help about everyone but our farmers," said Mumpower. "It takes money from tax payer pockets to put it in other people's pockets and that is more about socialism than the America our Constitution supports." "The Democrat Party is socialistic by policy - the Republican Party by indifference to principles. The result is a bunch of closet socialists with an "R" after their names. No wonder people are jumping the Republican ship and becoming Independents. There is little difference in a tax and spend Democrat and a borrow and spend Republican."

"It is probably too late to save the Democrat Party from extremists and special interests," notes Mumpower. "America's future rests on the success or failure of Republicans finding the courage to return and hold to our Party's core values." "I will continue fighting for the soul of the Republican Party, and drawing attention to those who are side-stepping the Constitution, feeding big government's special interests, and playing Robin Hood with the American tax payer."
