He Represents Arkansas Values

John Boozman’s Endorsements from Arkansas
Newspapers

Arkansas Democrat Gazette

The Arkansas Democrat Gazette has endorsed
John, stating his experience as a doctor, as well as his familiarity with the
challenges of health care, makes him the right candidate to address health care
reform.  They touted his background as a
small business owner and noted that small business owners, the number one
creator of jobs in America, “should be able to identify with Dr. Boozman, just
as he identifies with them.”  Their
endorsement highlighted John’s record of listening to and standing up for the
people of Arkansas, including the state’s small businesses and farmers, as
evidenced by his opposition to cap-and-trade, card-check, and the failed
stimulus bills.  They praised him as “one
of the country’s foremost advocates of looking out for our veterans.”  

The Southwest Times Record
(Fort Smith daily newspaper)

The Times Record editors praise John
as a public servant who “understands blue-collar workers and entrepreneurs,
national guardsmen and reservists” and exalt his “fiscal conservatism and his
insistence on learning about an issue before taking action on it,” calling for
the need of this philosophy in Washington that “will serve as a useful break in
a capitol city characterized by thoughtless actions and reckless spending.”

The Northwest
Arkansas Newspapers
The Northwest Arkansas Newspapers have
endorsed John because they understand we need a Senator who will focus on job
creation instead of Congress’s “desire in getting long-held liberal objectives
such as cap and trade legislation and national health care reform checked off
their list” 

The City Wire in Fort Smith

The City Wire in Fort Smith endorsed
John because “Congress has swung entirely too far to the political left under
the leadership of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Leader Harry Reid.  (Sen.) Lincoln voted for — indeed was the
deciding vote for — what we believe is a job-killing, individual-liberty killing
national health care ‘reform’ law.”  They
say John “will be part of a larger group of U.S. Senators who believe more
government programs and regulations aren’t the answer” and are convinced that
John “will be a better trustee of Fort Smith metro issues and needs than the
alternative.”

John Boozman Fights Wasteful Spending, Works to Lower Taxes for All
Arkansans & Promotes Free-Market Ideals That Create Real Jobs 

As a small business owner for 24 years, John knows the
struggles it takes to get a business off the ground, meet payroll and create
jobs.  He understands that increasing
government mandates is counter-productive to empowering small business.  For that reason, John has voted against and
will continue to oppose all anti-market, pro-big government legislation
including cap and trade, Card Check, President Obama’s stimulus plans and the
Cash for Clunkers program. 

As a Congressman, John has consistently fought efforts to
reduce the tax burden on Arkansans by supporting tax relief, targeting waste
and fraud, and helped stop abuse of your tax dollars. These efforts have helped
John earn a score of 95% with Americans for Tax Reform. 

John recognizes that America’s current economic recovery and
future prosperity requires fiscal responsibility and a balanced budget.  He knows that it is wrong for one generation
to saddle the next with a mountain of government debt, and he believes that you
do not create jobs by levying new taxes on small businesses and American
families.

These principled stands for fiscal responsibility have
earned John endorsements, awards and accolades from leading advocacy groups:
