HEADLINE: Salem, MO – [September 23, 2009] – Bob Parker says “We Have the Unalienable Right to Protect Life”

While speaking Monday evening at the Gun Rights Rally organized by Salem’s Patriots For the Constitution, 8th District Congressional Candidate Bob Parker shared his personal perspective on the Second Amendment.

As he addressed a group gathered at the Indian Hills Archery Range in Salem, he held up his well-worn 3030. Referring to it as his “truck gun”, he said, “This gun and I could tell some stories.” Purchased new when he was 18 years old, the gun nearly always stayed in his pickup truck on the farm, because “as soon as I took it in the house, that’s when I was going to find a coyote, something ready to hurt my livestock,” Parker said. An Eighth District rancher and farmer since moving to Missouri from Kansas over 30 years ago, Mr. Parker spoke of the Second Amendment right to own and use firearms, and referred to the inherent right to protect life.

“Our Founders said that we have these unalienable rights,” Parker continued, “And we have the right to protect life.”

He then turned to more general topics. Parker, a Republican candidate for Congress in 2010 for Missouri’s Eighth District U.S. House seat, elaborated on his motivations for entering politics.

“I think about the world my little grandkids are going to face, and it really sets me off.” Recently having celebrated the birth of his first grandson, Mr. Parker also has four granddaughters. “I’m 52 years old… maybe I can coast out of this thing by myself, but I’ve got kids and grandkids. Folks, whether you like it or not, you’re involved in the political process.”

Mr. Parker explained that he wanted to go to Washington because, otherwise, Washington was going to come and knock on his door.

“There is no question in my mind that if this Socialist/Marxist agenda in Washington is not stopped, they are going to knock on your door.”

As he recounted his experience recently at the Sikeston, MO 9/12 Rally, he described anti-bailout signs carried by protesters unaware that the Eighth District Representative had voted for the October “Bailout” Bill, authorizing the creation of, and initial funding for, the TARP plan.

“The media is not telling you how your representative is voting.”

As a noisy downpour continued overhead, Parker held up his truck gun.

“I love Missouri… I’m going to live here the rest of my life, Lord willing. I have the sweetest little wife, and I will do anything, anything, to protect my wife.”

STATEWIDE PINK SLIP RALLY!

HOSTED BY: THE SULLIVAN 9/12 GROUP

DATE: AUGUST 30, 2009 – PROGRAM BEGINS @ 1PM

WHERE: SULLIVAN FAIRGROUNDS, SULLIVAN, MO

Take Interstate 44 west or east to exit 225. Take south outer service road west to Hwy D turn right on Progress Drive. Follow Progress Drive into Fairgrounds. Look for parking signs and attendants on the left.

We would like to invite all Missouri groups, coalitions and organizations as well as all citizens who are interested in responsible government and protecting the Constitution of the United States of America.

Many of us grew out of the very first Tea Party group in St. Louis as grass roots organizations while others have been advocating our messages much longer. But in the end our mission is one of solidarity.

While Congress has been on recess there have been many town hall meetings , individual events, gatherings and rallies. We would like to bring together as many representatives from as many groups as possible as one BIG RALLY to break the news media portrayal of us as “angry mobsters.”

Our program will include music, speakers, and a couple of “light hearted” surprises. We invite all groups who wish to have a booth or a speaker to please go to www.usguardiansoffreedom.com and leave your information on the “Contact Us” page. You are also welcome to bring a picnic basket and cooler, or you may also go to one of the many fast food restaurants on the outer roads at the exit. There will also be concessions available at the fairgrounds as well.

We want this to be a PATRIOTIC, UPLIFTING AND MOTIVATING event! Bring your lawn chairs, canopies, cameras and flags and join us in helping to make OUR MISSOURI RALLY the “Making of a Memory!”

Don’t forget this is a PINK SLIP PETITION RALLY! There will be a number of petitions on a variety of Bills that will be waiting for the “DC” crowd when they return! We are putting our elected officials on notice that if they are not going to listen to the will of the people and respect the Constitution of the United States then they will be receiving their PINK SLIP!

Bob Parker announces his exploratory committee for Congress in Missouri’s 8th District on July 4th, 2009 at Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

“I had a great time with the good people of Cape Girardeau at the Veteran’s 4th of July event. My sincere thanks to all those that came and took part. As you will see in video, I believe our promises should be kept to our heroic Veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice. People all across Missouri are wondering what our government will do next. It’s time for representation that will support the right to life and not vote for big government bailouts to insurance companies and bankers. Like I also say in the video, go ask a farmer or a small business person how they like all the “free” trade agreements that have destroyed our manufacturing base and our business climate here in Missouri… if you can find one.

The support for our campaign has been tremendous and throughout the district what I am hearing is that we need a representative that is closer to the people in the 8th district. I have lived and worked here for 34 years and I know what the good people of the 8th district have been facing with this out of control government, and I agree. It’s time the little guy has someone who will fight for them for a change.”
