John Wayne Tucker, Missouri’s 3rd District

There is not a lot of consensus on anything in the world, but we come really close to consensus when we talk about the concept that Congress is broken. Almost everyone realizes that Congress is in shambles and that it is a mere shell of what it once was. There is consensus almost across the board that Congress spends too much money and that it is driving us completely bankrupt. We soon face the real possibility of full financial breakdown and the Congress just doesn’t get it. They continue on with the backroom deals, cramming legislation down our throats, ignoring our will and telling us anything they think will get them re-elected. The real concern of both parties and politicians is getting re-elected. It's not about America anymore when it comes to Congress.
What everyone in the country needs to realize now is that there will have to be a major rethinking of the people to take back our country. The people must stop thinking about “the party” and really search out and find those people who are willing to put their lives on the line to make America great again.
For me to win in Missouri’s 3rd District, I need Conservatives, Libertarians, Constitutionalists, Independents, Democrats and Independent thinking Republicans to gather together in support of my campaign. All of these groups must realize that my campaign is only about bringing back the strength of America. This election is not about me. This election is not about a party. This election is about all the issues that I have listed on this website. This election is about saving our country from Socialism, from financial disaster, from ethical ruin, from social destruction. The values that I have presented on my site are the values that most of you in the 3rd District and across the country hold to. You must look beyond a party affiliation this time and give me your trust and your vote.
Please remember that St. Louis has been in major decline since 1949. We have seen St. Louis fall from 8th in size to 52nd in size during that timeframe. We have seen jobs lost, companies leave, population decline, tax base erode and a general loss of growth and the decimation of manufacturing. There is much that we can do to restore St. Louis, but I need your help to get to Washington where I can work on the problems.
Allow me to be very clear. The Constitution of the United States is the basis for anything that a Congressman does. Well, it is supposed to be and that is my position. I refuse to allow us to cast aside the very cement that made us. I support States’ Rights completely. The Bill-of-Rights is a treasure that cannot be exploited or allowed to be diminished by anyone. We all want a country that is strong, profitable for all of us, with strong businesses, a strong middle class and the opportunity to succeed.
The people of the 3rd District are people like me. I know this because unlike my opponent who was born and raised in New Jersey, I have always lived and worked in the 3rd District. No other candidate has as much time and effort invested in this community as I do.
Remember too, that being in Congress is not about money, fame, or power for me.
I am giving back half my Congressional salary to the District and I have absolutely no aspirations to achieve higher office. The lobbyists, the money people, the other Congressmen have absolutely nothing they can offer me that would cause me to give up my values. What I claim on my site is exactly what I will do. If it is not possible, I will come back home and I will tell you why it is not possible. But if it is not possible, then the country is gone already. I ask you to stand for decency, credibility, honesty, non-scandalous government by crossing over from every group and standing beside me as I stand beside you to bring back the America we all loved and respected. We will never fix Congress by electing the political “good ole boys”. Congress is broken, but together we can fix it by breaking away from the mold and supporting a non-politician.
Please support my campaign financially and in the
primary election on August 3rd.
