Parker for Congress opens new headquarters in 8th district

Missouri’s 8th Congressional district; Surrounded by enthusiastic campaign volunteers and family members, Bob Parker cut a ribbon, symbolizing the official opening of his campaign headquarters on the east side of the square in Mountain Grove this morning.

Initially, the headquarters will be open from noon to 5pm on Thursdays & Fridays and 8am to noon on Saturdays. Anyone desiring information regarding Bob’s positions on issues and/or his reasons for running in this election is encouraged to stop in and visit with the friendly volunteers who will be staffing the headquarters. The office will also serve as a convenient supply depot for campaign volunteers on the western side of the district. Visitors to the headquarters will find plenty of parking right at the door.

Parker, a rancher from Raymondville, is challenging 14 year Republican incumbent Jo Ann Emerson for U.S. Representative from Missouri’s 8th Congressional District in the Republican primary election on August 3rd. Bob Parker is a strong pro-life, pro-gun, Constitutional, Christian, Conservative. To find out more about Bob Parker please log on to his website at www.electbobparker.com

In his brief remarks this morning, Parker noted that the campaign is gaining momentum all over the district. He commented that people are fed up with the politics of Washington D.C. And are seeking a major change.

He said, ”America is at a crossroads. Will we begin to take back our country back by voting out these big spending Republicans in the upcoming primaries, or will we continue to re-elect the people that keep voting for bailouts, clunkers, earmarks, and more big government? We need jobs, not handouts and more debt. I say it’s time for ‘We the People’ to rise up and take America back and tell Washington that we have had enough!”

He reiterated that he is a resident of the district – that he has lived and worked in the 8th district for 33 years – and, therefore, he understands the needs of Southern Missouri. Parker closed the gathering in prayer and then spent some time chatting with those in attendance.

Bob Parker was a guest on the Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Conservatism Radio Show with Huggett & Huston. Tune in:

Fox News still calls the legislation that Rep. Jo Ann Emerson co-sponsored a bailout and refuse to retract the story. Emerson denies this is a bailout. If the U.S. taxpayers take responsibility for failing pension funds, what do you call it?

For the record, Emerson’s 2006 letter explaining the Animal Id program was ”all voluntary” is fact. It took her 5 years to figure that program out after years of mis-information from her office. This was clearly stated in the 2005 USDA draft plan documents that the program would be going ”Mandatory” in 2009. Many people have spent years fighting this program with ZERO help from Emerson until January of this year, now that she is in a primary battle for re-election. The implementation of NAIS has been delayed because of massive opposition to this program from across the country.

For the record, Emerson voted for the repeal of Glass-Stegall that most now say led to the banking crisis by allowing banks to gamble with your money.

For the record, Emerson still denies that NAFTA and CAFTA have destroyed our manufacturing jobs. I think the record is clear on what that has done to our jobs in America.

For the record, in January of 2010 Emerson did a press release that NAIS [animal id] was dead. Two weeks later she issued a press release that she is fighting this horrible program. She did this after I explained to her and a crowd in Dexter Missouri that the program had just been re-named.

For the record, whatever you call HB 3936 that Emerson has co-signed, the taxpayers will be paying Billions to ‘’save” these failing pension funds if this passes.

Had enough yet Missouri?

Bob Parker
Candidate for Congress
Missouri’s 8th district
Take America Back!

Bob Parker, candidate for 8th Congressional District was in the Bootheel area this week. While in the area, Parker toured parts of Mississippi and New Madrid counties meeting citizens and distributing brochures and road signs. One of Mr. Parker’s stops was at Rosie’s Restaurant in New Madrid where he spoke with several local citizens about some of the goals he hopes to accomplish if elected.

Parker discussed the St. John’s Levee District dilemma in the New Madrid area. This is one of the projects he plans to target as soon as he is in office. He strongly supports the property rights of citizens and doesn’t believe that bureaucrats should determine how their land can be used.

“… as a farmer that has operated a farm in Missouri for 33 years, I want you to know that I share your frustration with government agencies that seem to have no clue how so many of these regulations actually impact our lives here in Missouri. … as a member of the DNR Sand and Gravel Workgroup… I fought hard to get common sense regulations so that landowners could protect their streams and still use their property for their benefit.”

Parker also stated, “I believe Americans are starting to understand how bankrupt our current leadership in Washington is. Lobbyists and special interests are running Washington. It’s time to return to the constitutional restraints that congress and our courts have thrown off many years ago. It’s time for Missourians to step up and Take America Back! That is my mission. Never before in my life has the challenge been so great. I don’t call for ‘change,’ I call for restoration of our constitutional principles.”

Parker will be back in the Southeast Missouri area on Saturday, June 12 for a dinner at Susie’s Bake Shoppe in Sikeston. Tickets are $15 per person and are available by calling 573-521-8076.

Please come out and meet Mr. Parker and support the move to “Take America Back.”
