Conservative Steve Laffey for Senate: Rhode Island

You may have noticed there is no party affiliation with this candidate. This is due to the fact that both parties have lost their way. They are wandering through yours and my tax dollars, trying to find ways to spend it. It is time someone stood up and said, "No more!"

Someone has. His name is Mayor Steve Laffey. He is running for the US Senate to replace the liberal Republican Sen. Chafee.

Sen. Chafee voted against Justice Priscilla Owens, he voted to tax anyone who made a 'windfall profit' to pay an extra tax for the government to spend, er, 'give back to the people.' (yeas-35; Nays-64.) To look through his entire voting record, here is a link to the Senate's votes. This is another good link to know who voted how.

The Club for Growth (congratulations on your win for Best Business Blog!) has endorsed Mayor Laffey. If you would care to find out about the Club for Growth, their blog, or help Mayor Laffey, please follow the provided links.

Disclaimer: I am a member of the Club for Growth. It is a very good grassroots organization. We believe in pro-growth, limited government, civil discourse, limited taxation, individual responsibility, and privacy. If you would like to find out more about us, I invite you to visit our site and our blog.

Endorsement: This paper endorses Mayor Laffey. (You may donate here.) I have stopped all funds to the Republican Party, because I believe in honor. When people abandon their principles for the sake of power and money, it is time for them to go. If they are going to act like Democrats, we might as well have the real thing.

I would prefer not to have it this way, however! Please contribute whatever you can to Mayor Laffey's campaign. Thank you.
