AZ REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES UPDATE for Tuesday October 12, 2010



Sarah Palin Endorses Ruth McClung


Sarah Palin announced today that she is endorsing Ruth McClung in Arizona's 7th Congressional District.


In response, Ms. McClung said, "Sarah Palin's fight for limited government, fiscal responsibility and strong families resonates from Alaska to Arizona. I'm proud to accept Ms. Palin's endorsement."


Here is the text of Ms. Palin's statement:


"Ruth McClung is the smart choice for Congress in southwestern Arizona. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that our country is on the wrong track under the leadership of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid; but Ruth actually is a rocket scientist! Ruth's commonsense fiscal approach to job creation and reining in reckless government spending is in sharp contrast to her opponent's liberal record. In fact, Ruth is running against a four-term incumbent who is so out of touch that he actually called for a boycott of his own constituents. It's simple: The people of Arizona's 7th Congressional District deserve better."


Noting the number of strong women running in races across the country this year, McClung added "Sarah Palin has clearly inspired women throughout this country to take responsibility and stand up for their beliefs."

Quayle: Hulburd energy plan overheated, underwhelming



PHOENIX (October 11, 2010) – CD 3 Democrat candidate Jon Hulburd today attacked Republican Ben Quayle on global warming and climate change. Quayle responded quickly.


“I’m glad he brought that up,” said Quayle, “because his position on this issue is another Nancy Pelosi special, with another set of dire economic consequences for Arizona and America.”


Hulburd calls Quayle a “climate change denier” and attacks him for saying, “Our planet has warmed and cooled since the beginning of time.” No credible scientist in the world disputes that fact, but apparently Hulburd does.


“It’s good to see this candidate removing his mask and revealing himself to the voters as another big-government, big-spending fraud who backs the Pelosi agenda and promotes market-busting policies,” said Jay Heiler, Communications Director. “He’s a limousine liberal and an economic illiterate, with no regard for the burdens his failed, elitist policies continue to place on the backs of working Americans.”


Hulburd’s boldly announced “clean energy plan” includes things that are already happening (tax credits for solar panel installation) and things that have been happening for decades (state and local government spending on public transportation).


Quayle said Hulburd’s “plan” is really only useful as an insight into his ignore-the-cost-and-keep-increasing-spending mentality. “Notice that his so-called plan includes no information at all about what it will cost,” said Quayle. “I support continuing development of renewable energy generation, but only with a clear communication to ratepayers of what it costs and only as part of an all-of-the-above energy strategy that increases American competitiveness, efficiency and economic growth.


“In Congress I will support efficiency, independence from foreign oil and economic growth as the foundations of a sound energy policy,” said Quayle. Hulburd supports so-called “cap-and-trade” legislation which Nancy Pelosi pushed through the House last year, 219-212, over the objection of 44 Democrats. Quayle opposes the legislation. “It would only cap our economic growth and trade more American jobs overseas,” Quayle said. “My opponent is to the left of 44 sitting House Democrats on this issue, and in lock-step with Nancy Pelosi.”

If we are going to win in Arizona’s Fifth Congressional District, we need air support.



The unions, Nancy Pelosi and the far left are hammering the airwaves with false and negative attacks that are the ultimate show of desperation.


Washington liberals need Congressman Mitchell to keep his power in order to continue the Obama-Pelosi agenda. He voted for the failed stimulus, ObamaCare (not once, but twice), voted to bail out Wall Street and the car companies, and voted to raise taxes even higher. And Mitchell has some ideas of his own. That’s why he sponsored card check to give unprecedented power to union bosses.


It’s time for a change and we know it.


Will we defend freedom?

Arizona needs Paul Gosar in Congress. And I need your help to make sure he wins!



I’m supporting Paul because he is fighting for the conservative values that make America great. When Arizona battles the federal government on the big issues – on things like SB 1070 and healthcare freedom and the right to a secret ballot – I know that Paul will stand with us, while his opponent stands with President Obama.


When Ann Kirkpatrick ran for Congress, she called herself a moderate Democrat. But as a Congresswoman, she has voted no different than a DC insider. In fact, Kirkpatrick has proven herself one of Nancy Pelosi’s most loyal lieutenants, providing critical votes for terrible bills like Obamacare.


Arizona truly deserves better. And luckily for us, we have a better choice in Paul Gosar.


Paul is a dentist from Flagstaff who is seeking public office, not because he needs a job, but because he loves this country and wants to help America get back on track. I have no doubt that as a Congressman he will stand up for Arizona and fight for the conservative principles that have made America great… But first he has to win this race.


In addition to being incredibly important, Paul’s campaign is also incredibly close. Recent polls show the race a dead heat. The Cooke Political Report rates it a "lean Republican." And the National Republican Congressional Committee calls it a seat that we must win to take back our majority in Congress.


Today, Paul Gosar is tied with a Democrat incumbent who has outspent him three-to-one. While that’s very impressive, he needs the money and resources to compete on a level playing field, so that we can ensure that he will win this race.


That is why I’m writing to you today - not to ask you for support in my own campaign - but to ask you to invest in Paul Gosar. Your contribution of $25, $50, $100 or even $250 or more will make a huge difference, and help this good man win an incredibly important race.


I hope that you will contribute generously to Paul today, put a sign in your yard and a sticker on your car or truck, and that you’ll even take a few hours to volunteer. The stakes in this race are just too high for us to sit on the sidelines.


For the sake of Arizona and America and our children and grandchildren, we need Paul Gosar in Congress. Please join me today in supporting Paul and I encourage you to do whatever you can to help him win.


With thanks in advance,




Jan Brewer


Governor


PS In the battle between Arizona and the federal government, Paul Gosar stands with us. He believes deeply in the principles of free society, and he will be a great Congressman. Will you please help him win this neck-and-neck race by contributing whatever you can to his campaign today?
