Eric Cantor Faces Major Challenge From Conservative Peter Greenwald

Good news for those of us that have grown tired of 7th District Congressman Eric Cantor’s empty promises to defund Obamacare, repeal it, fix it, replace it or whatever it seems cool to say on any given day.

And how about his promise to cut spending, balance the budget, bla, bla, bla.

If you measure Cantor’s success based on fulfilled promises, he is a complete and utter failure. He has voted in Obama’s favor in every vote really counted. Yet he points to his theatrical votes to repeal Obamacare that will never see the light of day in Harry Reid’s Senate.

On the votes that really counted like the debt ceiling and funding Obamacare, Cantor is in Obama’s hip pocket.

We should really call Obamacare Cantorcare. Without his votes with Obama millions of Americans would not have received cancel notices on their Health Policies.

And Pete Greenwald has had enough and will challenge Cantor for his Congressional seat.

 Greenwald is a Veteran and a Patriot.

Here is a bit about Peter Greenwald:

Dear fellow patriot,

I love God and I love my country, and I am asking for your support as I seek to save our Constitutional republic and to secure the blessings of liberty for our children and future generations. Throughout my 25 years of service in the Navy and now as a retired Naval officer serving at James River High School in Chesterfield County, I have strived to live a life of honor and shared sacrifice.  My wife Anne has faithfully supported me for 20 years through 10 moves across America to our various duty stations from Virginia to Colorado, Ohio, Washington and back again with a stop in Louisiana.  Together we have raised four children to love and follow Jesus and to love and serve others.

In my last assignment in 2008 I reported to Fort Riley, Kansas to prepare for deployment to Afghanistan. On my first Sunday morning while walking to the chapel, I came upon a memorial to “The Big Red One”.  I paused to read their motto, “No mission too difficult.  No sacrifice too great. Duty first.”  As I faced the rigors of pre-deployment training, I needed that reminder that raised my spirit and renewed my ideals.  Today, our nation faces a difficult mission to restore our Constitutional republic.  That mission requires shared sacrifice and all of us as Americans to put duty first and strive for RESTORATION NOW. Like those who signed the Declaration of Independence, each of us, “with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, [must] pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.”

My Bio

Born in 1962, I grew up in Springfield, Illinois, the home of our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln.  As a young 13 year old, I remember first listening to Ronald Reagan as he challenged Gerald Ford for the Republican presidential nomination.  Four years later, as a senior in high school, I cast my first ballot in support of Ronald Reagan as he defeated Jimmy Carter.  After earning my BS in Ceramic Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I attended Naval Officer Candidate School in Newport, RI and received my commission as an Ensign in the US Navy on 31 May 1985 as part of the Reagan build-up in support the Cold War to defeat communist aggression.  Nearly two year later, I completed flight training, earning my “Wings of Gold” as a helicopter pilot and received orders to my first fleet squadron, HSL-35, in NAS North Island, CA.

In November 1989, 2 months after my return from a WestPac” cruise with the Ranger Carrier Battle Group, we celebrated the “Fall of the Wall” in Berlin, Germany as the Soviet Union began to crumble and the people in eastern block countries gained their freedom on this day (as I write this), November 9, 24 years ago! I’m glad I could play some small part in winning the Cold War.

At the end of my first fleet tour in 1990, I attended Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA where I earned my Masters degree in National Security Affairs (Area Studies: Southeast Asia-Far East-Pacific) and met Anne, my wife of 20 plus years at an Officer Christian Fellowship bible study.  Upon graduation in May 1992, I reported to Norfolk, VA as the Flight Deck Officer as part of the pre-commissioning crew of the USS Kearsarge (LHD 3).  Over a two year tour, we successfully trained for and conducted our first flight deck operations.

And please note that there is an opportunity to meet Peter on Saturday November 23, 2013 in Midlothian, Va.

If you have had enough broken promises from Eric Cantor and the Republican RINO’s that support all of Obama’s policies to destroy America, Peter Greenwald just may be the opportunity you are looking for.
