Crawford Continues Lead by Double Digits In Latest Poll

Standing Up to the Obama-Pelosi Liberal Agenda and Opponents Silence on the Issues Continue to Propel Crawford

Jonesboro - Today Talk Business Quarterly and Hendrix University released yet another poll that continues to show small businessman and army veteran Rick Crawford leading his opponent by double digits. This poll shows Crawford gaining 16 points since the last polling in the race was released.

Crawford stated “I am thrilled that my message of standing up to Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and the Washington insiders is gaining more traction every day. This poll is proof that the voters want a leader in Congress who won’t kowtow to the liberals and special interests. While I am excited to continue to lead in the polls I am focused on the only poll that really matters, that’s the one on November 2nd. My campaign will continue to work day and night as we head into the final months of this campaign.”

The poll was conducted Thursday night and sampled 630 likely voters across the First district. It’s margin of error was +/- 3.9%.

Crawford’s Campaign Manager Jonah Shumate added, ‘Rick is the only person in this race that won’t cast his first vote in Congress for Nancy Pelosi and who consistently stands up for the views of the people of the first district. These polls show the people of Arkansas want a leader who isn’t afraid to stand up for our values. Chad Causey is having a lot of trouble being straight with Arkansas voters about where he stands on the issues and that is a clear contrast with Rick’s willingness to take the bull by the horns”.

Causey Needs to be Honest About 9/11 Mosque and Nancy Pelosi

Jonesboro - The Campaign of Congressional Candidate Rick Crawford has again asked Democrat Chad Causey to tell us whether or not he stands with his liberal leaders Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama on building a Mosque just blocks from the site of the 9/11 attacks. This repeated call for honesty from Causey comes the day after Nancy Pelosi called for an investigation into those who are standing against building the proposed Mosque at ground zero.

“Chad Causey has worked in Washington hand-in-hand with Nancy Pelosi and her liberal leadership for more than 10 years. Now that he’s running for Congress he needs to let the people of Arkansas’ First district know where he stands. It’s inexcusable that he hasn’t stood up against those that would seek to build a Mosque where thousands of Americans were murdered. We are taking this opportunity to ask him again to be straight with those he seeks to represent. If he can’t do it on a clear issue like this, how can we expect him to be a leader in Congress?” asked Crawford Campaign Manager Jonah Shumate.
The proposed Mosque has been a hotly-debated issue nationwide with leaders from both parties condemning the project due to its complete insensitivity to those who lost their loved ones at the hands of Islamic extremists.

Shumate continued “Chad Causey’s first vote in Congress would be for Nancy Pelosi. It’s sad that he hasn’t been elected yet and he is already kowtowing to their liberal leadership. Arkansas deserves better!  That’s why Rick Crawford is the clear choice for those who want a congressman who will stand up to the Obama-Pelosi agenda.”

Crawford Comes Out Swinging Against 9/11 Mosque

Campaign Calls on Causey to finally stand up to Obama and join Crawford’s opposition

Jonesboro- Congressional candidate and decorated army veteran Rick Crawford today chastised the Obama administration for failing to focus on creating jobs and stabilizing the failing economy, but having the time to weigh in on the wrong side of the proposed mosque at ground zero.

“It’s sad that the president isn’t working to create jobs and build back our economy, but instead is taking the time to weigh in on an issue that is extremely hurtful to thousands of still grieving families by becoming a proponent of building a mosque at the site where their family members died. It’s a shame and I wish the President would show more respect for our fallen countrymen”.

The proposed Mosque is has been a hotly debated issue for months and last week President Obama voiced his support for allowing it to be built just blocks from where thousands of Americans perished at the hands of Islamic extremists on September 11^th 2001.

The Crawford campaign also called on Democrat Chad Causey to repudiate Obama’s stand on the building of the mosque at the site of one of Americas greatest tragedies; “It’s time for Chad Causey to stand with America instead of the Obama-Pelosi administration. We are asking him to repudiate the sad choice by his leadership to support an extremist group over the families of the Americans that died. He needs to take this opportunity to let the people of Arkansas know where he stands on this issue, is it with the Washington Liberals or those who believe this action by the president is in poor taste?” said Crawford Campaign Manager Jonah Shumate.

Crawford Launches Democrats for Crawford Coalition

JONESBORO – First District Congressional candidate, United States Army veteran, and agri-business owner Rick Crawford announced his newest coalition – Democrats for Crawford.  Dewaine Malone, of Lake City, will be the chairman.  Malone, who is a lifetime Democrat, says the liberal agenda in Washington is out of control and out of touch.

“I have been a registered Democrat all my life and the people in Washington are too liberal and out of touch with the folks here in Arkansas,” said Malone.  “While I will continue to support Democrats locally, I believe we need someone in Washington that can stand up to Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama’s agenda.”

Malone was born and raised in Craighead County and went on to a 26 year career with the Arkansas State Police where he was stationed in Mississippi County.  Upon retiring from the Arkansas State Police, Malone moved back to Lake City where he has served as the Sheriff for the Eastern District of Craighead County the last ten years.

“It is an honor to have Dewaine as the chairman for our Democrats for Crawford Coalition,” said Crawford.  “Like many lifelong Democrats in the First District, Dewaine understands that the liberal Pelosi agenda is driving our country further and further to the edge of the cliff.  I am looking forward to working with Dewaine and other conservative Democrats so I can go to Washington and be a check and balance against the Pelosi-Obama agenda.”

”We need someone in Washington that can stand up Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.  We need someone who will put the people of Arkansas first.  The only person in this race who can do that is Rick Crawford.  He has my full support,” concluded Malone.
