Are You Frustrated?

As I go door-to-door, I normally introduce myself by saying "Hi, I'm Dave Edwards and I'm running for Congress." I did this at one home and instantly I was ordered to leave the property. I respected the request and did so immediately. I understand their frustration, however, I would encourage all of us to channel that frustration into helping elect a representative for the fourth district who will be guided by the Constitution.

I am sharing part of a letter I sent to them with you because some of you may be feeling the same way. I hope all of us will change our focus and seek to make a positive impact with our vote on November 2, 2010.

...I have become greatly concerned about the direction of our country. It seems that you are also frustrated with what many politicians have done to us. Among other issues, they are taking away our money, liberties, and disregarding our Constitution.

I am a small-business owner, not a politician. This is my first time running for any elected office. I am doing it as an ordinary citizen who wants to bring the power back to the people. For this to be accomplished I must have the support of friends and neighbors.

I was stopping by to introduce myself because all of us need to channel our frustration and anger into electing a representative who will be guided by the Constitution, seek to restore our liberties, and bring the power back to the people and States.

We can still bring this country back. However, it can only be done with help from people like you.

Visting the People that I Want to Represent

Yesterday I took some time to go visit people that I want to represent. I was down in Laurens country because three precincts are a part of the fourth district.

Several voters lived down roads like the one below. One of those voters made this comment while we talked: “You sure came a long way.” My response: “I seek to represent the whole fourth district, not certain areas.”

I am doing a tour of the fourth district by car, bicycle, and foot. Look for me, stop me, and ask me questions. I would like to meet you.

Thoughts from a 4th District Voter:

The following was written as a letter-to-the editor by a supporter of the campaign and appeared in the Times Examiner.

Question: What do you call it when the 4^th District of South Carolina votes Bob Inglis out of office? Answer: A great start!

I’ll admit that I am glad to see Bob go, but I’m reminded that the right to criticize must accompany a heart willing to help. Showing a man that is in error is no substitute for putting him in possession of truth.

In these challenging times it is not enough to say, “This is where I stand,” but more importantly, to say, “This is where we must go!” Leadership is the ability to generate, communicate and maintain commonality of purpose.

For that reason I am supporting Dave Edwards for the 4^th Congressional District of South Carolina. Without apology, I am a free-market capitalist and recognize that our economy is driven by small business. Dave is a small business owner. If we expect Congress to understand and be favorable to small business we need business people to represent us, not lawyers. Although Dave is the candidate of the Constitution Party, he has demonstrated that his loyalty is to the Constitution, not to a political party. A vote for Dave Edwards is a vote to restore us to a Constitutional republic and a vote to reverse the Marxist direction we are now moving in. A vote for self-reliance and not for the ever increasing nanny-state. A vote for representation for all of us in the 4^th District of SC, and not a vote for special interests, the global elite and centralized government.

Dave Edwards, like the rest of us, is not perfect and not without faults. But Dave Edwards has shown himself to be a man consecrated without reservation to God, Country, Family, and the people of the 4^th District of South Carolina.

He needs and deserves your vote, your support, and your prayers.

The Peaceful Enjoyment of Liberty

"Let the American youth never forget, that they possess a noble inheritance, bought by the toils, and sufferings, and blood of their ancestors...transmitting to their latest posterity all the substantial blessings of life, the peaceful enjoyment of liberty, property, religion, and independence." Joseph Story

1,000 Bumper Stickers

The Dave Edwards for Congress campaign has a goal of 1,000 bumper stickers out by August 20th! This is the first big phase in spreading the word about Dave and victory in November and there is a very easy way that you can be a part of it.

How can you help? Please consider purchasing just one bumper sticker from our store for $3.49. Just $3.49! That simple purchase can be worth hundreds of dollars in advertising when on your car. Why do we ask you to purchase them instead of handing them out? We depend on our supporters and those who long for citizen government to get the message out. We don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars in establishment money at our disposal because we are just ordinary people who care about the Constitution.

Want to put them on your friends cars as well? You can purchase a pack of 10 or a pack of 50 at a discounted rate.

With just 3 1/2 months left until election day there is no time to delay! Pass this message on to your friends and family who love liberty and the Constitution and together we can send the real voice of the 4th District to Washington this November.

Thank you for your support!
