John Tucker for the Missouri 3rd

A lot of people ask me when I'll run for office. I already have- I am an elected official, although only for a local office. Although someday I may want to serve my nation and fight for life, liberty, and protection of property by running for some sort of higher office, right now I am content to help elect other people and advise them on education issues.

But, I just thought you might like to know about a conservative teacher who is running for Congress the Missouri 3rd District. John Wayne Tucker was a history teacher in the public schools for 27 years. He is running as an Independent Conservative Republican in the Missouri Republican primary, and may be a better choice to represent his district than another lawyer. In his primary he faces off against a long-time Republican insider and a noted RINO named Ed Martin, and in the general he'd face incumbent Democrat Russ Carnahan, who voted for cap-and-trade, for the stimulus/pork bill, and for the healthcare regulation bill.

Mr. Tucker was the wrestling coach, sponsor of his school's Ham Radio Club, and sponsored the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Tucker wants to limit spending and and the size of the government size, require a balanced budget, protect our individual liberties, fight for the Constitution, defend our borders, and rebuild our economy. He seems like a pretty solid conservative candidate.
