RLC Georgia Issues 2008 Federal Endorsements
By Chris Farris | July 8, 2008
Only one incumbent member of Congress merits the endorsement of the Republican Liberty Caucus and that Congressman is Dr. Paul Broun. From his first vote in the United States House of Representatives, Congressman Broun has shown that he doesn’t fall lock-step with his party’s leadership when they trample on the constitution to score political points with powerful special interest groups.
Alas, Dr. Broun’s opponent is perfectly willing to pander to the prejudices of his district. Broun’s opponent was the primary sponsor of a bill that would lower the number of jurors needed to decide to sentence someone to the death penalty. The act of taking a person’s life is the penultimate punishment that can be meted out by the state, and it is the only one that can not be undone if the person is later exonerated. If anything the threshold for sentencing someone to death should be raised, not lowered.
Based on the records of both candidates, it is clear that Paul Broun is a man of integrity. He is a man who takes his oath of office – to support and defend the Constitution of the United States – with the utmost regard. We encourage all RLC members and supports in the 10th Congressional District to cast their vote for Paul Broun on Tuesday July 15th.
