Music Legend Pat Boone Sings Praises of Rick Crawford

Legendary Singer and Spokesman for 60 Plus Announces Endorsement

Alexandria, VA – Legendary entertainer Pat Boone, spokesman for a national non-partisan senior citizen group, announced today that Rick Crawford has won the 60 Plus Association’s Honorary Guardian of Seniors’ Rights award. Crawford is a Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in AR-01.

Boone, still performing at concerts, was a recording, movie and TV star second to none in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and had 38 top 10 hits during his career. Now a national spokesman for 60 Plus, Boone labeled Crawford a “fighter for the elderly.”

The Association’s Guardian Award is presented to Democrats and Republicans in Congress based on their “senior friendly” voting records. The Honorary Award is given to those running for office and is based on their views on seniors’ issues.

“Rick Crawford can always be counted on to protect Social Security and Medicare,” Boone said. “Rick Crawford will be a tax cutter, protecting the pocket books of senior citizens. 60 Plus calls on nearly 5.5 million seniors nationally for support, so I believe I can speak on behalf of seniors when I say that they can count on Rick Crawford. Clearly, seniors will have no finer friend in Congress than Rick Crawford.”

US Chamber of Commerce Endorses Rick Crawford

“Pro Business Group’s Endorsement Continues to Build Crawford’s Main Street Momentum”

Jonesboro – Today, the United States Chamber of Commerce added it’s sought after endorsement to the long list of respected groups and leaders that have thrown their support behind Rick Crawford’s campaign for Congress.

In a letter Chamber President Tom Donohue stated; “It is the Chambers goal to elect a pro-business Congress and work diligently in the interests of businesses large and small to advance legislation that encourages economic growth, job creation, and a less intrusive federal government Your support of pro-business issues earned this endorsement.”

The US Chamber of Commerce represents more than 3 million US businesses across the United States, 96% of which have fewer than 100 employees.

Crawford added, “This is another great endorsement and I am honored to have this great organizations support. As a small business owner I know how important it is that we protect and defend our small business community in the first district. As the first districts representative I will not rest when it comes to advocating for our Arkansas business’s by extending the small business taxes cuts and repealing ObamaCare.”

As Endorsements Rack Up Causey Continues to Lie and Hide

Jonesboro – Rick Crawford gained yet another key endorsement in his race for Congress today as the nationally respected 2^nd amendment advocacy group Gun Owners for America threw their support behind his run. The group cited Crawford’s strong support of the 2^nd amendment and Chad Causey’s lack of response as reason for endorsing.

Crawford stated “I am honored to have the support so many folks that share my belief in our 2^nd amendment rights.  Our right to bear arms is something that many liberals like Nancy Pelosi would like to see taken away and it is imperative that we have leaders in Washington that are willing to stand up and fight her attempts to infringe on our rights”.

This endorsement comes on the heels of major endorsements from the National Right to Life PAC, several state and national Veterans groups and public polling showing Crawford leading by double digits.

“This endorsement should again make Chad Causey understand that you can’t say one thing here and do another in DC. It’s sad that he didn’t even take the time to address this group of committed gun rights advocates. It begs the question, is Chad Causey to chicken or too liberal to represent Arkansas in Congress?” added Campaign Spokesmen Ted Prill.

September 20, 2010
Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund is proud to endorse Rick Crawford for Congress in Arkansas’ First Congressional District.

Rick earned an “A” rating from Gun Owners of America, based on his perfect score on the GOA candidate survey and his unwavering commitment to protecting the right to keep and bear arms.

His opponent, a staffer for the retiring Congressman, did not even return the GOA survey even though he was given the opportunity twice in the past few months! This is usually a sign that the candidate is hiding anti-gun views.

Furthermore, the first vote that Rick Crawford’s Democrat opponent would cast would be for Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House, a San Francisco liberal who does not represent the values of Arkansans.

Gun owners and sportsmen from Arkansas expect their elected representatives to safeguard their constitutional liberties, and not to vote for an ever expanding federal government.

Thomas Jefferson urged that politicians be “[bound] down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.”

That is just what people like Rick Crawford intend to do. He will be part of a team of candidates determined to rein in the federal government and stop the Obama-Pelosi socialist, anti-Second Amendment agenda.

Gun Owners of America urges all gun owners and sportsmen in the district to help Rick Crawford get elected in November. If you can volunteer your time, put out a yard sign, or make a contribution, please visit www.meetrickcrawford.com today.

And most importantly, make sure that you and all of your pro-gun family members and friends in the First Congressional District vote for Rick Crawford on Election Day.

Sincerely,

Tim Macy
Vice-Chairman

National Right to Life PAC Endorses Rick Crawford for Congress

Cites Crawford’s Fight to Stop Obama-Care and Commitment to Standing Up For Human Life Cited as Key Reasons

Jonesboro –  Today the National Right to Life Political Action Committee endorsed Rick Crawford for Congress citing his belief in the sanctity of human life and his willingness to stand up against Obama-Care.

Crawford stated, “I am thrilled to receive the endorsement of the nation’s leading protectors of life and I am looking forward to working with them every day in congress to fight Obama-care and for the born and the unborn”.

This endorsement comes as the Crawford campaign’s momentum continues to build with public polling showing him leading by 16 points and his opponent in full fledged retreat on Obama-care, voting for Nancy Pelosi and pork barrel spending.

“Today’s endorsement again shows why Rick Crawford is the right choice to represent Arkansas in Congress. He has the backbone to stand up to Barack Obama and his healthcare plan that will help fund abortions and cut Medicare for our seniors by half a trillion dollars. I hope this will be another example to Chad Causey that people are tired of his Washington double talk and false attacks. They want leaders that aren’t afraid to stand up for what they believe in”, said Crawford Spokesman Ted Prill.
