Former Congressman and Presidental Hopeful Samuel Wendt is announcing his intentions to run for the South Carolina State Legislature. Wendt who was once seen as a possible Gubernatorial and Senatorial option, had his career dismantled over his battle with Alcoholism. In his announcement speech Mr.Wendt put forward his vision for South Carolina.
"I once ran for President under the Grand Old Party of Abraham Lincoln, I once ran as a Republican who saw a way forward that was clouded under the hatred of the other side, but I am an affirmed Independent. I will not be running for office and a Democrat or a Republican I am running for the State Legislature the same legislature I first started, I want to fight for the ideas of Lower Taxes, a Stronger State of South Carolina, and the protection of Social Security and Medicare." he looks over to his wife and daughters, "I have been fighting a disease for these last few years, and that disease is alcoholism it is a battle I fight through every day, but I have fought this is adversity and I believe I have come out as a better man in the end."
"We cannot allow either party to hold South Carolina stranglehold, as we are a state of great Independence. We were the first state to tell King George NO MORE! We were the first state to secede from the United States, We are a state of great minds and great people. We are a state where a man can start with nothing and he can become something, I don't care whether someone is a Democrat or a Republican. I care if they are a hard worker and a tax payer there are honest men and women on both sides of the aisle, in this time of internal strife among Americans I believe that we must unite to not hamper our legacy in the eyes of our children. I am running for this State Legislature because of our history of working across the aisle, I dont care if I have to work with a Democrat or a Republican I want to make South Carolina a place of unity and of hope. I grew up here 50 years ago, in a time of great agony and hatred among neighbors a time of racism and bigotry I dont care about skin color or political affiliation I care about South Carolina and I care about America."
"I will be running for the first district in the South Carolina state assembly. I am running on being for what South Carolina stands for Fiscal Responsibility and Social Conservatism. We need decency in Colombia and we need decency in South Carolina, that is why we need to elect Sam Wendt to the South Carolina State Assembly."
(First Post, I just love Wendt if anyone has any plans for him or if he's dead or something just tell me and this is gone.)
