“A Republic…If You Can Keep It”

September 16, 2009 by Crawford for Congress

Democracy sounds great, but our founding fathers had something better in mind. This video puts it in perspective.

Here’s hoping we can keep it.

My thanks to Facebook Friend Mark Martin for finding this video.

The Importance of Agriculture

September 16, 2009 by Crawford for Congress

The importance of agriculture to Arkansas’ economy cannot be overstated, that being the state’s number one industry. This is particularly true in Arkansas’ First Congressional District. Farmers want to know they have leadership in Washington they can count on to do just that – lead. Not just in word, but in deed – helping to create workable solutions to address the substantial challenges facing today’s farmer.

I derive my livelihood directly from agriculture, as do many citizens of the First District, and it is vitally important that our leadership in Washington take a hands on approach in protecting our industry. So where do I stand on the issues? Following are some links to columns I wrote that were published in Northeast Arkansas Business Today which should provide some insight as to where I stand on farm policy.

Who Am I to Say?

Why Farmers Are Losing the PR War

Taxed to Death – And Beyond

“Step Two” is Step One in Anti-U.S. Ag Assault

Business Acumen Will Save the American Farmer

Bear in mind that these columns were written around four years ago, so a lot has changed. However, there are a couple (Why Farmers Are Losing the PR War and “Step Two” is Step One in Anti-U.S. Ag Assault) that were somewhat prophetic.

Read them yourself and you be the judge.

Out With the Old, In With the New

September 16, 2009 by Crawford for Congress

The following story is an example of exactly what’s been wrong with the GOP – a problem that, thankfully, is being corrected. For 30 years Sen. Arlen Specter took RNC money under the auspices of being a conservative and for 30 years we could only count on him to caucus with the dems. Good riddance – Specter’s defection is only good news for conservative Republicans.

However, the commentary on the late Jack Kemp, while unfortunate and certainly unnecessary, is truly indicative of the total lack of honor, integrity and moral courage of Democrat Arlen Specter.

Here’s the story:

What’s Rainbow Stew?

September 16, 2009 by Crawford for Congress

I’ve never eaten Rainbow Stew, but it sure sounds good to me. I’ve always been a huge Merle Haggard fan and loved the song since I was a kid, and the older I get, the more I realize that Merle was way ahead of his time when he penned this one.

Sounds like some pretty good ideas to me.


Most of us know what Bubble Up is, but if you’ve never sampled rainbow stew, click
