After learning of Joe Carr's decision to run for the United States Senate, Chip Saltsman has resigned from Carr's campaign efforts.
The entire letter is below:
CHIP SALTSMAN
August 20, 2013
Representative Joe Carr
PO Box 192
Lascassas, TN 37085
Dear Joe,
Having learned of your decision to run for the
United States Senate, I must resign from your campaign. I signed up to help you
run for Congress, not the Senate.
I have been a longtime supporter of Senator
Alexander for many reasons, and I will continue to be a strong supporter. When
I was Party Chairman in 2000, nobody believed we could beat Al Gore in his home
state, but Lamar Alexander worked hard to make sure Al Gore would not, and did
not, win his home state. Lamar traveled across the state to help candidates win
local, state, and federal races. Most importantly, though, Lamar always told me
if conservatives worked hard, and governed effectively, we would soon control
state government. And he was right! Due to the hard work of Lamar Alexander,
and because he stayed true to his conservative ideals, our state has no income
tax, great roads with no debt, and an economy that is the envy of most states.
It is because of Lamar Alexander that people
like you have the honor of serving in the majority of the state legislature. It
is because of Lamar Alexander that our children and grandchildren go to better
schools, and are able to compete for better jobs. It is because of Lamar
Alexander that we live in a state people want to move to, start a family in,
start a business in, and even retire to. I am honored to support Lamar
Alexander for re-election.
Sincerely,
Chip Saltsman

ReplyDeleteReally? Does his vote history in the Senate confirm this? Exactly WHAT are his conservative ideals?

In other words, the Chipster supports RINOs to the max.
ReplyDeleteMr. Saltsman you are delusional. Lamar Alexander did NOTHING to stop the state income tax. In fact he ran from the question evertime he was asked about it. In fact really the only thing I can agree with you on is education. He is a RINO plain and simple. He was a good governer, but has been corupted by Washington and it is time for him to go.
ReplyDeleteI agree with most here... that the 'Lamar Alexander of the Past' has done great things. We've moved forward with him. He's first gear!!
ReplyDeleteBut just like you don't stay in first gear if you want to go faster and hit the Interstate... we shouldn't stick with (who is now) Lame-ar if we want to shift up to second gear and gain some momentum. That's the BIG picture (big enough to cover the whole USA) way to look at this race.
So... Thank you for your service, Lamar Alexander! Please enjoy your retirement!

Lamar Alexander has lost touch with the big majority of the people in this state.
ReplyDeleteSteve Gill beat the income tax. I don't remember seeing Lame are.
