A Candidate With Integrity

by Kerry Thomas

August 27, 2010

Like so many of you, I’ve been sorely disappointed with the caliber of candidates recruited by the professional political class recently, all too often proffering candidates who have more money than integrity, who are willing to compromise their principles in exchange for political favors.

But there is one candidate in the race to represent Wisconsin’s 8^th congressional district who is willing to stand up to these party insiders and say no.

Terri McCormick will not play political games with your money or your children’s futures. She won’t sell out her constituents to advance her own career.

While her opponents make political promises about what they will do, Terri McCormick has already proven what she has been able to do. While her opponents promise to limit their tenure in Congress, Terri McCormick has already term-limited herself out of the Wisconsin Assembly. While her opponents promise to do “something” to fix our health care system, Terri McCormick’s legislative efforts to reform Wisconsin’s prescription drug purchasing pools saved Wisconsin taxpayers more than $25 million in just the first year they were implemented. And thanks to Terri McCormick, more than 30,000 Wisconsin families now have the option of enrolling their children in charter schools.

Unlike her opponents, Terri McCormick knows the Constitution is more than “just a piece of paper.” As the only constitutional conservative in the race, she won’t support legislation that violates her oath to the Constitution. Among her priorities will be to repeal the unconstitutional laws passed by this current Congress, including ObamaCare.

Terri McCormick isn’t running for Congress so she can go to Washington and play political games. This makes her a threat to career politicians and party leaders who deal in political favors and promises, using your money to buy and sell votes.

Party insiders who’ve tried to buy off Terri McCormick have already learned she won’t be bought. Threats to ruin her “political career” haven’t intimidated her, because Terri McCormick doesn’t intend to make a career out of politics.

I’m supporting Terri McCormick in her bid to represent me in Congress because, unlike her opponents, she’s a person with true integrity. She’s already proven she won’t sell us out to buy her political future. That’s real integrity. That takes courage. And that’s the kind of representation we should all be fortunate enough to have in America.
