Class III Senators: Jim DeMint
Senator Jim DeMint
Republican – South Carolina
Sen. DeMint one of most conservative senators in office today was elected in 2004, when he beat Inez Tenenbaum (D) by about 9%. He will be running for his second term in 2010. He voted against the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, and many other government controlling bills. His voting record is strong in conservative principles and is truly what we need to secure freedom and uphold our Constitution please check it out yourself.
Senator DeMint also understands that to reduce the size of government, fix the economy, and restore the Constitution we must get new people to Washington. And not just a Republican majority but a Conservative majority therefore, he has endorsed many candidates away from the “norm” in DC.
Sen. Marlin Stutzman in Indiana's Senate race, Weld County prosecutor Ken Buck (R) in the Colorado Senate race, Conservative state Assemblyman Chuck DeVore in California, former state House Speaker Marco Rubio in Florida and former Rep. Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania.
Senator Jim DeMint is part of four committees in the current congress; Banking Housing and Urban Affairs, Commerce Science and Transportation, Foreign Relations, and Joint Economic Committee.
I got to see Senator Jim DeMint for the first time at CPAC 2010 where he spoke to an energized crowd. This was my favorite part of his speech.
My fellow conservatives, our mission is to preserve and promote the values and beliefs that benefit our people and our nation. We believe that individualism, capitalism and volunteerism have proven to work better than any government program. Our policies must be focused on promoting these core values and allowing them to work in every area of our society. Our policies are like pieces of the jigsaw puzzle with many people putting them in place. We must keep the box top – our vision – front and center for everyone to see.
I feel with all my heart that Sen. DeMint is the type of candidate we need in Washington. If you're in South Carolina make sure to send him back for a second term.
