      Jeff Parnell’s Message To “Tea Party” Patriots

     “It is widely thought that there are several factions among Tea Party groups around the country, with two main camps, one figuratively led by Congressman Ron Paul and the other by former VP candidate Sarah Palin.
       Having talked with leaders and members of Tea Party groups around Missouri and all over the country, I believe I can state that I am the only candidate in Missouri’s 4^th Congressional District Republican primary whom the various Tea Party factions can unite behind.  I am a candidate with true republican principles who is not part of the party apparatus; my outsider credentials are well established.  And, while I have long been considered a “hawk” on matters of national security and defense, I acknowledge the limits placed upon the three branches of government by our Constitution.  I believe, and have often stated, that our nation would be far better off had Congress stayed within the limits of it’s constitutional authority the last several decades…if elected, I will follow the U.S. Constitution regardless of party maneuvering.  I am an unwavering supporter of the Fair Tax, Term Limits, and am staunchly Pro-Life.

        Of the so-called ‘leading’ candidates in this primary, one has shown himself willing to be a tool of the special interests and support government mandates while personally profiting from it as well; the other has voted for tax increases and lied about it, and is a dubious choice to challenge Ike Skelton on many levels.

         Therefore, I ask my independent-thinking friends in the Tea Party movement to ignore the media and party bosses and vote for me, Jeff Parnell, the outsider who can win, this coming Tuesday.”
