Time to Commit

Yesterday I did something I don't often do:  I put my money where my mouth is.

I have supported Tom Clements in these pages for some time.  His new advertising campaign confirms what I have felt about him:  he is a man committed to helping the people of South Carolina.  He is a true supporter of freedom, meaning the rights of individuals.

Jim Demint is also for freedom.  He supports the freedom of the wealthy to get wealthier, unfettered by taxation or regulation.  He believes in the freedom to deny individuals basic rights to privacy, the freedom to legislate what happens in your homes and doctors' offices.  He believes in the freedom to stop the federal government from functioning in order to keep power and wealth in the hands of the wealthy and powerful.

Jim Demint believes we all should be free to believe what Jim Demint believes.

Tom Clements promotes a different kind of freedom.  He believes workers have a right to earn a living wage.  He believes our privacy needs to be protected.  Tom Clements believes all Americans have the right to accessible health care, a good education, and the pursuit of renewable energy for jobs now and the preservation of our future.

Halloween is around the corner.  But Jim Demint is frightening in a very non-festive way.  Jim Demint is anti-American.  He is anti-freedom.  He is pro-wealth and power -- his own.

So we all need to get behind Tom Clements right now.  He has a great web site.  Tell your friends about him, and give him all the financial support you can.  Our future depends on it.
