While most of Missouri’s Tea Parties are reticent to offer endorsements, Tea Parties in other states have endorsed several winning freedom candidates. The Sikeston Tea Party has taken the admirable position of being the first to come forward and endorse Bob Parker, a true Constitutional Conservative, for Congress in the 8th District Republican race.

Bob says, “I’ve spoken at many Tea Party events across the district, and at every one of them. I’m encouraged by the number of people who are shaking off the illusion that Party leadership has been doing a good job of picking their representatives”

In their release regarding their pick of Parker over establishment pick Emerson, the Sikeston Tea Party says,

“Bob has proven in the last several months that he truly cares about the constituents he hopes to represent, and we want to send him to Washington!”

A representative of the Sikeston Tea Party says, “We proudly give our endorsement to Bob Parker. He is a true conservative, Christian, pro life Republican, and he stands for the principles of freedom that America was founded upon. Everyone should take the opportunity to hear Bob speak and listen to his plans to take America back!”

The Tea Party Movement has become a force to be reckoned with across the nation. In a recent Rasmussen poll they stated that 43% of Missourians see the Tea Party movement as positive for America. Missouri has 8% more voters than other states who define themselves as “Tea Party Voters”. This populist conservative movement is certain to be a factor in Missouri’s August 3rd Primary Elections.

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.
