Dear Friends,

I will do my best to update these pages often so you will know where I stand on the numerous issues that currently face our great nation. As you read through these statements, please do not hesitate to send me questions if you believe I am not clear on a particular issue or you if have a specific inquiry on an issue that I have not addressed. It is important that each of you know exactly where I stand and can trust I will represent you accordingly. You can trust that I am a true conservative which means I am Pro-Constitution, Pro-Family, Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, and Pro-States’ Rights!

Dutifully Yours, Joe Tegerdine

"The United States remains the last best hope for a mankind plagued by tyranny and deprivation. America is no stronger than its people – and that means you and me. Well, I believe in you, and I believe that if we work together then one day we will say, 'We fought the good fight. We finished the race. We kept the faith.' And to our children and our children's children we can say, 'We did all that could be done in the brief time that was given to us here on earth.' " …. President Ronald Reagan

MY PLATFORM:

America is great, not because of its government, but because of the individual effort and sacrifice of its citizens to make it the greatest nation on earth.   We are at our best as individuals and a country when we have the ability to make choices and allow freedom to drive those choices.  Our economic prosperity in South Mississippi and across the nation is contingent upon each of us having the ability to make decisions independent of government oversight and control and without the heavy burden of oppressive taxes.  I believe we are at a pivotal point in our history and have an opportunity in 2010 to put our country back on track by reasserting our commitment to individual freedom and our Constitution. THE TIME IS NOW!

I believe we can restore our country’s greatness by electing new leadership who will fight to limit the size and power of the federal government, be fiscally disciplined, and support a strong national defense.

Joe will fight for the People of South Mississippi, not lobbyists or special interests!
