Governor Mike Huckabee And Huck PAC Endorse Tom Emmer For Governor From Minnesota

Little Rock, AR – Governor Mike Huckabee issued the following statement about Tom Emmer:

“Huck PAC and I are pleased to support Tom Emmer for Governor of Minnesota. Tom is a family man, a small businessman and has served as a State Representative since 2004.

Tom shares our conservative values, like the sanctity of life, and traditional marriage. In fact, as a legislator, Tom have voted 100% pro-life and actually introduced numerous bills and amendments to protect the lives of the unborn. Also, Tom consistently supported the constitutional marriage amendment that would define and solidify traditional marriage as being between one man and one woman.

You can count on Tom to champion our traditional conservative values as Governor.

Tom wants to bring back true fiscal responsibility, and will stop the tax-and-spend cycle by calling for a balanced budget. Tom will treat state government spending just like Minnesotans treat their own budgets – he will accept a government spending bill until the deficit is eliminated.

In addition to his fiscal responsibility, Tom also has a passion for improving education, believing that all children must be given every opportunity to succeed.

Please join me in supporting Tom Emmer for Governor – he’s just what Minnesota needs.”

Statement By Former U.S. House Of Representatives Newt Gingrich: E-15 Approval Translates to National Security

Statement by former U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich: E-15 Approval Translates to National Security

Since the EPA's 2007 decision approving E-10 for cars, the energy industry has improved significantly.

It has been shown in study after study that American ethanol is an ideal replacement for foreign oil. In the more then 20 years since E-10 was adopted there has been no evidence that cars have difficulty using it or suffer any bad side effects.

Now, with the approval of E-15 for cars 2007 and new, we can look for new job creation in the United States, keeping more money here at home, reducing our trade deficit, and strengthening our national security.

This has been a decision in the making, and the next step is applying E-15 to all calls, and I am hopeful we will continue on the right path to keeping America self-sufficient and independent of foreign oil.
