Thank You!

The Dave Edwards for Congress campaign would like to thank everyone who voted on Tuesday! We are proud of the 11,000+ people that sent a loud message to Washington and to the establishment. For the first time in 10 years, a candidate outside of the system received over 10,000 votes. We believe this number will continue to grow over the next two years.

Each vote represented a threefold message. First, the federal government must only perform its Constitutional responsibilities. Second, power and control must be restored to the people and the States. Third, more individuals are caring about the positions of the individual candidate, not a party label or the amount of money that was raised.

We applaud the 11,000+ people that had the courage to choose a candidate based on his principles, not a party label. Unfortunately, almost half of the voters did vote a straight party ticket. We must continue to educate others that a party label does not equal a candidate being the best representative of our Constitutional and conservative values.

We also encourage you to not live in fear of splitting the conservative vote and helping a liberal get elected. It is simply not true in the 4^th Congressional District. Based on the numbers, our campaign's claim that splitting the Conservative vote would not result in a liberal being elected was again proven correct. You must realize that you have the freedom and liberty to vote for the best candidate.

Thank you to the many supporters and volunteers who helped throughout this campaign. We have much to be proud of and we hope you will continue to hold all our elected officials accountable.

Dave Edwards on the Tea Party

During the WYFF 4 debate, the candidates running in the 4th District were asked about the Tea Party. Here is how Dave Edwards responded to the question:

"I believe the Tea Party has been here all along. It's just gotten to the point where we as common Americans have gotten frustrated that we're not being represented properly by Congress. We've reached the point where we've been pushed to the max and so we're reacting and coming out in force. I'm very thankful that I've been able to speak and interact with many of those who are here in Greenville, Spartanburg, Union and Laurens county who are part of the Tea Party movement. I'm just like you all in the sense that I've gotten fed up with what's happening in DC. We have two different parties bickering over who's right instead of what's right for you, me and our country. We do have to send a message, a very loud and clear message. The Tea Party has been awakened. The common American has been awakened. We are becoming more and more aware of what the Federal Government is doing. It's time for us to make a difference, to stand up and say we want our Constitutional and conservative values to be represented."
