Lee Bright is running for US Senate against long time politician Lindsey Graham.
On issues ranging from pro-business to pro-life, Sen. Bright has proven himself to be a true Conservative and strong on Constitutional values. He is a firm believer in the Right to Life as the Founding fathers believed, saying Protecting the right for a child to live is one of the most basic functions of a society. If our nation fails in this aspect, then how can we expect to protect liberty and constitutional rights?
As far as government spending goes, Lee has been an outspoken critic of government spending and was designated as one of four "taxpayer heroes in the Senate" by the South Carolina chapter of the Club for Growth, for 2011-2012, and he also received the Friend of Taxpayer Award from the Spartanburg County Taxpayers Association. He had the highest rating of the Palmetto Liberty PAC on it's scorecard and was unanimously endorsed by the Republican Liberty Caucus of South Carolina.
He is a tough 2nd Amendment advocate, who is lead sponsor of the Constitutional Carry bill (removing requirement of law-abiding citizens to obtain a permit to exercise Second Amendment rights) and the Firearms Freedom Act (exempting firearms manufactured in state for sale in state form regulations).
On the issue of healthcare, he has been an outspoken opponent of Obama Care, and sponsored a bill that would criminalize the act.
Sen. Bright, a native and resident of Spartanburg, is married and has two children. He is director of business development for BBD, LLC and operates a trucking brokerage business and has served as a board member of the Palmetto Family Council, Attorney General’s Commission on the Family, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission.
He's a strong candidate with a consistant record as a member of the Spartanburg County District 6 School Board, and was re-elected to a second term as State Senator with 60% of the vote and winning every precinct even though his district was redrawn to include parts of Greenville County and was challenged by a former incumbent.
We need someone with Senator Bright's strong stance against Islamic terrorism, National Defense and support of our Military, his excellent and perfect score on fiscal responsiblity, and Constitutional respect. It is time for Lindsey Graham to retire. Let's help and support Lee Bright for US Senate!

Matt Bevin is running for US Senate against incumbent Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell.
Matt was commissioned as an officer in the US Army after graduating from Washington and Lee University, ultimately rising to the rank of Captain. He spent four year on active duty with primary responsibilities as the 5th Mechanized infantry Division Artillery's counterfire officer.
Matt Bevin is no stranger to hard work and personal responsibility. Since moving to Kentucky with his family in 1999, Matt founded several local firms and invested in other companies in Kentucky and around the US. He also began to help out at Bevin Bros., a bell manufacturing company that had been in his family since 1832. The company faced bankruptcy. In 2011, Matt became President and in a year, he paid off all the company's debts and back taxes, modernized the business model and saved jobs.
Matt is a firm believer in this country's founding ideals. Individual Liberty, limited government and constitutional principles. He believes it's time to hold our representatives in Washington accountable.
On the issues, Matt:
Believes in enforcing Immigration laws already on the books, allowing states to enforce federal immigration laws and cutting off welfare benefits to those who come here illegally.
Believes Obamacare is a disaster and would encourage increasing competition by allowing people to buy health insurance across stae lines and common sense tort reform among other ideas.
Is Pro Life and will vote against any bill for federal funding for abortions and believes we must encourage ways which makes adoption easier. Matt and his family don't just advocate pro life ideas, they live them.
Believes the Second Amendment is the lynchpin of the Bill of Rights, as it was designed to protect all of the other Amendments. The right to bear arms is not just limited to ownership but includes the right to carry as well and he will fight to fully restore the Second Amendment by pushin for a national right to carry legislation.
Is a believer in term limits. If elected to the US Senate, Matt will not serve more than two terms.
Please help and support this great American who believes in the vision of America that our Founders envisioned!! Help Matt Bevin to defeat politics as usual and work to get him to the US Senate!

Rob Maness, who is running for US Senate, Louisiana
Ret. Air Force Colonel Rob Maness is a founding board member of NOLA Patriots, Inc., a veteran’s advocacy group committed to preventing veteran suicides and ensuring military families have equal access to benefits. He is running for US Senate against Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu.
"When I officially retired from the Air Force after 32 years of service, Candy and I decided that, out of the entire world and the U.S., we wanted to return to Louisiana. We had lived in Louisiana off and on for about 8 years while I served our country and we knew that we wanted to come back.
We chose to make Louisiana our home. Candy and I love Louisiana. Of course, we love the food and the character of Louisiana, but, most of all, we love the people of Louisiana. The people of our great state are unlike any other people in the world. From Lake Providence to the Gulf Coast, and everywhere in between, the people of Louisiana are some of the hardest working, most generous people in the world.
When Candy and I moved back to Louisiana, running for office wasn’t even on my radar screen. I knew that I wanted to make a difference but there were other priorities to attend to first. But, the more I watched what was happening to our State, our Country and our Constitution, I knew that I needed to take action and get involved. The frustration of watching President Obama dismantle our Constitution and our personal liberties piece-by-piece while Senator Landrieu sat back and did nothing to protect the interests of the great people of Louisiana, was growing inside of me.
Candy and I discussed things many times and we spent many hours praying for guidance as I pondered what I could do to help Louisiana and our Country.
That’s when we decided that I would run for U.S. Senate to replace Senator Landrieu and protect and defend our Constitution and Louisiana. The people of our state have strong Conservative values. Senator Landrieu and others are out-of-step with these values.
We have an opportunity to make a change next year and replace the Liberal values of Senator Landrieu with someone who is a true Constitutional Conservative who will stand up for Louisiana and the values of our great state and its people."

JD Winteregg is running for Ohio's 8th Congressional District against John Boehner.
JD's thoughts on Washington reflect many American's as he has said, "Today, it seems as though authority is derived from Washington, and that we're expected to do what we're told. I believe authority comes from the people. The role of the representative should be to listen to the people and to advocate for them in Washington--not the other way around."
J.D. earned a B.A. in International Business and French and has a M.Ed. in Foreign Language Education (Wright State University), a M.A. in French (Ohio State University), and he is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Foreign and Second Language Education (Ohio State University).
He understands how to work among and across cultures from working in France as an English Assistant in a public high school and his current work in high school and university environments, and he has leadership positions of curriculum and project development and mentorship.
He understands how to work among and across cultures from working in France as an English Assistant in a public high school and his current work in high school and university environments, and he has leadership positions of curriculum and project development and mentorship.
J.D. is relatively new to the political scene, an advantage he embraces as his ideas truly represent the people in OH-8. He works tirelessly to improve the representation in the district, and in just a year, he has managed to become a leader within several tea party/liberty groups in OH-8. J.D. brings enthusiasm and creativity to the district–something that is desperately needed–and these attributes have helped to inspire others to action.
On Issues, he shows strong Constitutionally Conservative beliefs in term limits, the 2nd Amendment, and limiting government spending and eliminating waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer's money. He strongly supports of the movement to entirely defund Obamacare.
As a school teacher, JD believes that education is best left to the local level and that parents and communities know what is best for their own children, leaving the decisions to them. He has seen the problems first hand caused by federal government involvement by plans such as No Child Left Behind and what Common Core would do.
His stance on Immigration is simple and to the point: Borders need to be secured before discussion of reform can proceed. Period.
JD shows a lot of promise to hold true to the Constitution and Conservative and enduring values that so many Americans find lacking in Washington. He's got fresh ideas and brings invigorating ways to help transform our bloated government through his CAST program. We need fresh people in Washington, willing to work towards a more fiscally responsible Congress who is willing to remember that they represent We the People.
Please help support JD Winteregg, and let's change the face of Congress by replacing Career politician John Boehner.

Jorge Bonilla, who is running for Florida’s 9th Congressional District:
U.S. Navy Veteran Jorge Bonilla Announces Congressional Run Against Democrat Alan Grayson Jorge Bonilla is proud to announce that he is running as a Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Florida’s 9th Congressional District.“Hello, my name is Jorge Bonilla and I am proud to announce that I am running to represent you in Florida’s 9th Congressional District. I’m running because as a new father, I am deeply concerned about the direction that our country is headed in. Our current leadership is projecting weakness to our enemies abroad, and overt hostility to our most cherished allies. At home we are beset by scandal, after scandal, after scandal, all of which arise out of a government that has run out of control and is seemingly unaccountable to ‘we the people.’The central question of the 2014 election is this, are we the people still capable of self-rule, or do we abandon the American revolution and concede that a small connected elite from Washington, D.C. and New York, is better capable of running are lives than we are ourselves. This is America guys. We can do better. We must do better, and we will do better. I know the road ahead is tough, but if you join me I know that we can work hard to restore America’s promise, and secure America’s future. I thank you for your support. God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.” - See more at: http://bonillaforcongress.com/u-s-navy-veteran-jorge-bonilla-announces-congressional-run-against-democrat-alan-grayson/#sthash.muRxFcCY.dpuf
