(Washington, D.C.) - Flagg Youngblood, director of Vets for
Freedom Political Action Committee, addresses the endorsement of
Ron Klein by the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
"As a leader in one of our country's veterans groups, I believe
Allen West better understands national security and veterans
issues," says Youngblood. "West's led soldiers into combat;
he knows firsthand what's required to keep America safe and what
our veterans deserve back home."
"Ron Klein, on the other hand, has never worn the uniform, and
his military voting record is unabashedly partisan-national
security and veterans be damned. Did you know the average
member of Speaker Pelosi's caucus voted with her 92%, while Klein
did so nearly 98%?"
"Lieutenant Colonel West," continues Youngblood, "courageously
put his Army career on the line to protect his soldiers while
serving in Iraq. West's selfless devotion to serving others
couldn't be clearer; he'll put constituent concerns first."
"To see the Veterans of Foreign Wars ignore one of their own in
favor of a partisan politician suggests a greater concern for
protecting entrenched Beltway interests than America's national
security and veterans. Shame on them!"
"Allen West's the choice for every voter concerned about
protecting the United States, veterans, and restoring
accountability to Washington," concludes Youngblood. "West's
battle-proven track record makes him the best pick on November
2nd."
