Keep Paul Broun in congressional seat

  • Follow Letters

As most know, U.S. Rep. Paul Broun is running for re-election as a Republican. Not withstanding his party affiliation, I wholeheartedly endorse him to every voter in the 10th District.

His sincere adherence to the basic principles of our Constitution and his Christian faith recommends him to every citizen. Anyone who continues to believe in the ideals of our Founding Fathers certainly will approve of Paul Broun's conservative leadership and courage as a congressman.

I have personally known Paul Broun for more than 50 years, having grown up with him in Athens and Augusta. I know him to be honest, forthright, intelligent and compassionate. Returning him to the U.S. Congress for another term will well serve us all.

I sincerely urge your studied consideration, support of and re-election of Paul Broun.

Phillip Williams, Augusta

A visit to his website reveals that Broun worries more about homosexual marriage, forcing his religion down the people's throat, but little is said about ending the invasion of Iraq. Mr. Broun does not have his priorities straight. No Republican in office should be re-elected who has not held this administration accountable for this invasion and the trampling of the Constitution.

If he will stop calling my house every day I would vote for him.

There is more at stake here grouse than your parties absolute disregard for the safety and security of this nation which is only made possible through the great sacrifice of our brave men and women in the military...They deserve something more from their country than the bad-mouthing of our government for all our enemies to see and hear...We, as Americans, need to show the world a nation that is fundamentally sound, full of loyalty and strength to each other in the face of an enemy who would like nothing more than our total demise...Look at it this way, the greater the divide among Americans the greater the chances of a huge attack on our shores which seems to be working from the inside out these days...People stop with the division and stand up in one voice and support our troops towards winning this war not as a dismal failure and a loss of lives for no reason...This is not one man's war this is our war against an enemy who has killed thousands and not on distant shores but right here at home...

Broun is a partner in Broun Brothers Investment Group, LLC...a foreign corporation registered in Florida. The Phoenix Investment Group is part of this operation. Working out of the same office in Athens is First South Communities, another LLC. James Daws, LandSouth partner, a huge developer and political operative/contributor runs all of them. He runs Broun, too. Someone ask Broun tonight at the meeting what his relationship is with James Daws. Remember Broun's past bankruptcies and flaky financial dealings? They continue.

Good grief what is wrong with stating good Christian ethics in a nation that has done a 360 when it comes to living life within the moral confines of what is taught in the Bible....What is supposed to be the new age way is in fact the route that has led this nation into the Guinness Book of World Records as perhaps the leading country in a total lack of right and wrong, the failing of the family unit to the rearing of a generation of children who have been desensitized to the horrors around them...They live by the code of "whatever feels good I am going to do it no matter whom it harms"...If this Broun is for something decent then why not try to get him into office...All it takes is one voice of reason to bring us back from the edge....

Republicant

It has done a 360 Christian? So we are right back to where we started in your opinion? Confusing.
The only seat Broun needs to stay on is the toilet seat. Perhaps if Broun were to take less an interest in the sale of Penthouse and Playboy on base, he and other members of congress could concentrate on matters of more importance.

christian134

Okay how about 180 Republicant ...Does that help out any?...Pardon for the 360 comment it is just one I have grown up hearing over the past...well lets just say more years than I care to count...:-)

DuhJudge

I suspect that if it were just Penthouse and Playboy, he would not have a problem with the magazines available at the PX. Besides, it isn't the magazines anyway, it is enforcement of the law that stands with which he and others have a problem. Regardless, Congressman Paul Broun is the very example of what citizens clamour for and talk about when they are describing their desire for idealism in government. I'll be there this evening, and I will vote for him in the primary.

Little Lamb

Hey, Grouse, it sounds like you need to pick up a Democratic ballot on July 15. Broun's name will not be on that ballot. That will make you feel better.

Pay What U Owe

Paul Broun is an egregious moron. Like his buddy, featherweight Saxby Chambliss, he cares not one whit for the substantative issues of our day but rather uses red meat issue to rile up dummies like chirstian134, PT and other idiots to get their vote, stay in power and bilk the system. It is amazing how these dolts continue to fall for this. At least give another Republican a chance to redeeem the party. Vote Barry Fleming in the GOP primary!

PastorPaul

I do know that Paul Broun is concerned about Veterans that he is comming to address the Vietnam Vets at the closing ceremoney. Something that our governer and others are to busy to do. At least he can take the time to show his respect for our Vets not crap on them like a lot of un named other want to do. If it was up to the left we would have no military and all the money that we spend on supporting the military would be spent on the dissadvantaged minorities who don't want to work. If you cann't support this country and the morals it was founded on then you have the freedom and right to leave. I for one am tired of the vocal libiral minority who demands that every one be politicaly correct and forced thier beliefs down our throat thru liberal judges who legislate from the bench.

Just My Opinion

Ah, you can certainly tell the Columbia County political machine is churning out some anti-Broun rhetoric this morning! They want their own boy in that office and they think the easiest and fastest way to go about it is to throw mud and to blow smoke, enough of which they hope will make voters pause to wonder if Broun is really as good as his past performance has shown. I think he is and the man has my vote. And, no, I have absolutely no affliation with Broun.

Pay What U Owe

Why is it that when the "right" is in control, they are always so enthusiastic about inviting the "left" to leave, yet when then the "left" is in control, they feel no pressure to leave themselves? If your #1 issues is waving flags for old veterans while cutting their medical benefits, vote Paul Broun. If you think the military cannot be trusted with porn vote Paul Broun. If you believe they gay marriage is as big a threat to American as terrorism or globalism, vote Paul Broun. Then drink this Kool -Aid.

bone

pay, i think i could use barack's name in your 8:41 speech and come to the same conclusions. i can't think of a single politician running on substantive anything these days except ron paul (who is probably a few bricks short) and bob barr.

Pay What U Owe

Mike Gravel also runs on policy and idealism and for that matter, Hilary Clinton's plans were fairly detailed. She made the mistake, of course, the Kerry made - he assumed people would read the details, even if they were really a series of boring complicated long-range projections that actually included elements from most political viewpoints. The only person in my recollection who actually used the political process to educate people was Ross Perot (speaking of a few bricks short). No one liked that. Ignorance, as they say, is bliss.

Grouse, if Bush and his admin has "trampled" the Constitution, exactly which freedoms have YOU lost? I haven't lost a single one that I know of, and I am quite cognizant of my rights/freedoms. If anyone should get ousted, it is the do nothng DIMocRAT Congress that, like Osama, promised much and has delivered little or nothing-high gas prices, mortgage debacle, and done nothing to bring the troops home (I hope they are smarter than that) and leves them there until the job is done.

jack

Damn Republicant, I totally agree ! (gasp)

jack

Thanks RM for the info. Very revealing about Braun. If he can't handle his own money, why should we trust him with ours?.

LittleLady

Hmmmm. Some people really are taking Fleming talking point to a whole new level? Does Broun campaign really call somebody every day? If you have substantive disagreement, back it up with facts instead of resulting to name calling. Some people are just so bitter.

grouse

What you are saying christian134 in your 6:56 post is that people should following lock-step with those in power, not question their decisions, and "my country right or wrong." Real Americans reject that. Show me where Democrats have "absolute disregard for the safety and security of this nation." You are wrong, this is one man's war. Iraq and Saddam did not kill any Americans "right here at home." That was Osama bin Laden.

grouse

Jack, quit asking me for proof, when you don't source your own statements or those who follow your thinking. You can Google just as well as I can.

christian134

Well each his or her own grouse...I will stand up for this country and those that serve her no matter what and when I can help change things that need changing then I will by all means try...If you will try and see that for more years than I can remember the middle east has disliked the United States...They may have tried to behave like they have liked us at sometime or other but underneath it all they really do despise us all....

GAmommy

A simple google search will tell you that James Daws is Karen Broun's (the Congressman's sister in law) brother. No big sordid connection there. As far as the bankruptcy goes, he has been more than forthcoming about that and will also tell you that he even repaid all of those debts (not something most people do after filing bankruptcy do) when he got back on his feet plus the fact that it was over 20 years ago. The bad votes that Barry Fleming is using to campaign against Broun are all liberal SPENDING bills something a "true" conservative as he calls himself should also be against. So I ask you is that the man you want handling our money? I did not vote for Broun the last time but eagerly do so July 15th.

FallingLeaves

All I had to do was listen to what Barry Fleming had to say on talk radio in an interview to know that I would choose Broun over him. He shot himself in the foot with his own words.
