CWF Chairman Calls Hoffman "Courageous Conservative"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Campaign for Working Families Chairman Gary Bauer today endorsed Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman in the special election for New York's 23 Congressional District, noting that the Democratic and Republican candidates for the seat offered "no real difference, no needed change."

Bauer, a former presidential candidate and now chairman of one of America's leading pro-family political action committees, the Campaign for Working Families, issued the following statement:

"Today, I am proud to endorse Doug Hoffman for Congress. The decision to do so was made after considerable contemplation, but in the end it was an easy decision to make. Simply put Doug Hoffman is THE CONSERVATIVE candidate for Congress.

"I had the privilege of working all eight years in Ronald Reagan's administration. The American people rallied to Reagan's conservative vision of lower taxes, less government, respect for traditional values and a strong national defense. Reagan inspired the American people with his message that the Republican Party was carrying the 'banner of bold colors, with no pale pastel shades.'

"That is exactly what the special election in New York's 23rd Congressional District is all about. Today the American people are reeling from politics as usual, big government takeovers, out-of-control spending, higher taxes and liberal corruption. Unfortunately, the two main political parties have chosen nearly identical candidates, virtually indistinguishable on key issues. But Washington is not lacking for liberal politicians. What is in short supply on Capitol Hill these days is commonsense conservative values.

"Fortunately, the voters of the 23rd District will have a choice in the special election on November 3rd because Doug Hoffman is carrying the conservative banner of bold colors and big ideas. I applaud this courageous conservative for not backing down to the party bosses and for fighting for his beliefs.

"When elected to Congress, Doug Hoffman won't blend in with Nancy Pelosi's liberal Democrats. As veteran and successful small businessman, Doug Hoffman will stand out as a bold conservative voice for the values that matter most, and that is why I am proud to stand with him today."
