Ret. Lt. Col. Allen West is running for the U.S. Congress in Florida’s District 22 (Broward County). His conservatism is clear and he has a clear vision of the greatness of our Country. Here’s one of his very motivational speeches:
We suggest that you visit his website to review his stand on many of the issues facing our country: http://allenwestforcongress.com/issues. After you have done all of that homework, consider supporting this man in his efforts to represent all of us in Congress.
West is running against U.S. Rep. Ron Klein (D-FL22) who has been in office since 2007. Klein supports positions by NARAL, Planned Parenthood, SEIU, and many other liberal organizations. Klein has voted in lock-step with the Pelosi leadership and needs to be replaced. Hopefully, his replacement will be Allen West. Read more about Allen West below:
Lieutenant Colonel Allen West (US Army, Retired) was born and raised in Atlanta Georgia and is third of four generations of military servicemen in his family. His parents instilled in him a very basic principle, love of God and Country. In 2004, when it was time to retire from more than twenty years of service in the US Army, he brought his wife and two young daughters to Broward County, Florida, where he taught high school for one year. He then returned to Afghanistan as an advisor to the Afghan army, an assignment he finished in November 2007.
Allen West received his Bachelors degree from University of Tennessee and Masters degree from Kansas State University, both in political science. He also holds a Master of Military Arts and Sciences from the US Army Command and General Staff Officer College in political theory and military operations.
“Education is the great equalizer,” he says. “With a good education, any child in America can live his dream.”
Allen West knows that for our children to live their dreams, they need to be safe. He has served in several combat zones: in Operation Desert Storm, in Operation Iraqi Freedom, where he was battalion commander for the Army?s 4th Infantry Division, and in Afghanistan, where he trained Afghan officers to take on the responsibility of securing their own country.
In his Army career, Col. West has been honored many times, including a Bronze Star, three Meritorious Service Medals, three Army Commendation Medals (one with Valor), and a Valorous Unit Award. He received his valor award as a Captain in Desert Shield/Storm, was the US Army ROTC Instructor of the Year in 1993, and was a Distinguished Honor Graduate III Corps Assault School. He proudly wears the Army Master parachutist badge, Air Assault badge, Navy/Marine Corps parachutist insignia, Italian parachutist wings, and German proficiency badge (Bronze award).
