3 Reasons Why I Support Congressman Doug Lamborn(R-CO)

Congressman Doug Lamborn(R) has earned my support and vote in the race for the Colorado Congressional District 5 GOP nomination.  Here are 3 reasons why.

1) Lamborn’s voting record is solid and reliably conservative.

His strong voting record has proven consistent and faithful to the freedom principles which originally made America the most exceptional nation in history.  See it for yourself.  Below, I’ve included an extensive listing of Lamborn’s voting record in the 112th Congress, as well as independent ratings of Congressional lawmakers.  Based on his voting record, Lamborn consistently ranks as top conservative in Congress.

2)  Lamborn actively and personally reaches out to his constituents.

Congressman Lamborn has repeatedly reached out to “grassroots” and “tea party” citizens in our local community.  He has set aside as much time as necessary to not only listen to our concerns, but asks questions and actively seeks ways he can get involved with more of his concerned constituents.  Furthermore, he has actively reached out to local small business owners in an attempt to learn how laws are actually affecting them.  He is a lawmaker who proves he wants to know what’s important to his constituents.

3)  Lamborn is a rare, genuine Republican leader.

Yes, I wrote “Republican” leader.  A strong and effective Republican party, one which can actually defeat both the liberal agenda and Democrat candidates, is an active, steadfast, conservative party which defends all the issues.  Congressman Lamborn is one of very few lawmakers in the current Colorado GOP who actually understands and legislates on all the issues, based upon America’s founding principles and the original intents of our founding fathers.  There are lots of Colorado Republicans elected to public office, from the most local levels on up to the Congressional level.  But there are very few who lead based on our nation’s comprehensive founding principles of free markets, strong national defense, and protection of our individual God-given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  Congressman Lamborn is one of these very few Republicans.  Colorado needs Congressman Lamborn’s continued and resolute example of what it really means to be a Republican.

Your vote for Lamborn is needed in these tumultuous times.

Our nation is at its most critical crossroads in its history.  Freedom’s fate could be decided in November 2012, and freedom needs serious, dedicated protection in these uncertain times.  I have full faith and confidence that Congressman Lamborn will continue to fight to preserve and restore America’s freedom.  If you are a Republican who is eligible to vote in the June primary, I urge you to vote for Doug Lamborn as the GOP nominee to Colorado’s Congressional District 5.
