----- Forwarded Message ---- From: Debbie Schum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 6:11:24 PM Subject: [SMCLP] Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Debbie Schum, campaign manager Phone: 970-234-8056 Email: smudgesticks@ juno.com Website: www.sargent. politicalgateway .com CONTACT: Steve Gresh, vice president RLC phone: 719-599-5706 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] com Website: www.rlc.org Steve Gresh, Vice President of the Colorado Chapter of the Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC), endorses the Libertarian 3rd Congressional District candidate, Bert Sargent. The RLC is a grassroots, nationwide organization working to advance the principles of limited government, individual liberty and free markets within the Republican Party and throughout America . Their focus is on a broad range of issues, including education, taxation, property rights, gun rights, free speech, federalism and the proper role of government. While rolling back decades of government "nannyism" will require a great deal of public education and grassroots lobbying, the most important means of changing public policy is to change public officials. Therefore, the RLC works to elect pro-liberty Republicans to offices at all levels, partisan and non-partisan, in both primary and general elections. The RLC is committed not to just electing more Republicans. .. but better Republicans. But in the 3rd district congressional race, The Republican candidate, Scott Tipton, stated that “we need to put our civil liberties on the back burner, and support the Patriot Act”. “This statement by Mr. Tipton shows clearly that he is more concerned with government power rather than liberty for our citizens”, said Gresh, “while Bert Sargent very clearly understands the constitution’s purpose is to limit the powers of the government over the infringement of citizens rights. Just as clearly, neither of his opponents understand this critical concept”. The incumbent, John Salazar, also vehemently supports the Patriot Act. Gresh attended the Grand Junction Club 20 debates on September 9th, and noted that when Bert Sargent asked both of his opponents how the trillions of dollars of national debt should be paid off, neither answered the question. “This debt is unconstitutional and unlawful”, said Gresh, “and Bert Sargent’s opponents are unconcerned about that. Only Mr. Sargent seems to understand how Congress should work.” In an unprecedented action, Steve Gresh has also endorsed the Libertarian Gubernatorial candidate, Dawn Winkler, after carefully watching both debates at the Club 20 event.
