Bill Pierce for US Senate

I haven’t exactly been on the fence, but it’s time to clearly and definitively get off the fence once and for all.

Today I am formally endorsing Bill Pierce for US Senator from Ohio. I encourage all who read this to vote for Bill in the Republican Primary on May 2, and also ask that everyone spread the word that this man is the best qualified of the three candidates to represent our party, and the best qualified person of either party to represent our state. Bill Pierce CAN win in May, and if he wins in May, he WILL win in November.

I’ll have more to say on Bill in the coming days, but here’s a quick checklist:

- Integrity, check.
- Strong moral values, check.
- Private sector experience, check.
- Classroom teaching experience, check.
- Citizen legislator envisioned by the Founding Fathers, check.
- Will limit himself to two terms, check.
- Right on immigration, check.
- Right on War on Terror, check.
- Right on ending judicial filibusters, check.
- Right on unclogging the federal courts, check.
- Right on energy policy and drilling in ANWR, check.
- Right on ending pork and earmarks, check.
- Right on getting the federal budget under control, check.
- Right on taxes, check.
- Right on reining in out-of-control regulations, check.
- Right on tort reform, check.
- Right on 2nd Amendment issues, check.

Unlike one or both of his opponents, Bill Pierce:

• Is a long-time state resident.
• Has many years of private sector and public/private education system experience.
• Isn’t vague or evasive about his past.
• Has visited, and will continue to visit, all areas of the state, and stay in touch with GOP and other officials at the county level, even after elected.
• Has been the clear overall winner in fair and open county endorsement votes during January, February, and March.
• Won’t be known by the far-left company he keeps in co-sponsoring legislation.
• Will perform the regulatory oversight required of legislators, instead of letting the bureaucrats run free.
• Speaks out on the issues that matter, instead of spending years in relative silence.

On May 2, Ohio voters need to send a message to the Ohio Republican Party, the national GOP, and the rest of the nation by electing one of us — Bill Pierce.
