Statement of Support from Conservative Veterans
This letter is to notify all Veteran voters and the public that we have found Dave Edwards to be the only true conservative running for Congress in the 4th district of South Carolina.
The Conservative Veterans Coalition is not a political organization, but will rate candidates as to where they stand on issues effecting U.S. Veterans and to what their plan is to address Veterans problems.
We invite all Veterans in this district to vote and to vote smart. We thank Mr. Edwards for being open with us and listening to what is causing so many of our Veterans hardships that Congress can change.
Frank Brown
Co-founder
Conservative Veterans Coalition

Greenville News Coverage of Debate
Here are excerpts from the Greenville News coverage of last nights Congressional Debate:
4th District Hopefuls Talk Economy
3 candidates differ on government's role in regulation, creating jobs
By Ben Szobody Staff Writer
Congressional candidates competing to replace U.S. Rep. Bob Inglis debated Tuesday how to climb out of the economic doldrums, the importance of the tea party and the future of Social Security.
...
Constitution Party candidate Dave Edwards, a Taylors real estate businessman, told WYFF moderator Michael Cogdill that the first thing he would do in Congress is make a list of unconstitutional agencies and programs in order to work toward their elimination.
...
There were few pointed criticisms among the candidates aside from Edwards' closing remarks, in which he said that Gowdy helped elect both Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham and Democratic former Sen. Fritz Hollings and spent time in Washington this week meeting lobbyist and raising cash.
Gowdy didn't respond in his closing remarks that followed...
...
Edwards said the federal government never creates jobs, and that scaling back government burdens on businesses will help them thrive.
...
Edwards identified himself with the tea party, which he said has always existed and reflects a frustration that common Americans aren't represented as they awaken to what government is doing.

Trey Gowdy Criticized by Washington Times for DC Lobbyist Trip
The Washington Times has reported in their article Political 'Outsiders' Coming in for Cash that Trey Gowdy was in Washington DC last week to raise money from a number of lobbyists and special interest groups. Without even being elected, his actions are showing that he is ready to represent lobbyists and special interest groups, not the people of the 4th District.
In a statement released today, Dave Edwards said "His actions speak louder than his words and this is a clear reflection that he will continue politics as usual. The 4th District needs someone to represent them, not lobbyists.”
The Washington Times article says "Mr. Gowdy's spokesman said that of the three fundraising events scheduled this week, only one is a true fundraiser..." Yet the invitation to one of the other parties clearly says "Make Checks Payable To: Trey Gowdy for Congress."
The website politicalpartytime.org has the following invitation for one of the events:
For: Trey Gowdy (R, SC-04)
Hosted by: Independent Community Bankers of America PAC Mortgage Bankers of America PAC
When: Oct. 7th, 2010 (10 a.m. - 11 a.m.)
Where: Capitol Hill Club - 300 First Street SE
Type of Event: Coffee
Contribution Information: $1,000 PAC; $500 Individual
Make Checks Payable To: Trey Gowdy for Congress - PO Box 3324 Spartanburg, SC 29304
Here are a few other quotes from the Washington Times article:
"I may not be able to totally change Washington by myself, but Washington will never change me," Mr. Gowdy has said on the campaign stump."
"This week, Mr. Gowdy is scheduled to trod the well-worn Washington fundraiser circuit, where lobbyists and political insiders trade campaign contributions for a chance to schmooze lawmakers and candidates whom they'll later try to lobby."
"The hosts of the other event for Mr. Gowdy are listed as the Independent Community Bankers of America PAC and the Mortgage Bankers of America PAC. On what he described as the coffee meet and greet events, Mr. Ramsey said, “I am sure there will be checks involved" but added that the events weren't major fundraisers." -- Jim McElhatton, The Washington Times
