Mo Brooks Quotes:

“Our campaign is financed by America patriots. I salute them all. They have not donated to Mo Brooks for Congress because they want to feed at the federal government trough. They are motivated both by a desire for a better America and by the risk of a national calamity fostered by reckless and unworkable policies emanating from Washington. Each of them has a choice: to huddle down and try to ride out the storm, or to fight. They have chosen to fight for America. And fight for America we will!

“Our goal was to break $100,000 cash-on-hand by September 30, 2009, after inclusion of a $50,000 candidate loan. We exceeded that by almost $14,000 (in large part because of a $15,000 surge in contributions received the last two days of the reporting period).”

“It is a very humbling experience to know that so many people are sacrificing so much because they have faith that we can, and will, help restore the foundational principles that make America the greatest and most influential nation in world history. I will do my utmost to respect and uphold their trust.”

“There is one reoccurring theme everywhere we go. People are concerned – even afraid – that the greatest threat to America is from Washington politicians who have lost all understanding of what made America great, and that America needs principled leadership, not wavering, finger-in-the-wind, pandering politicians who so willingly steal from future generations to pay for today’s excesses. No nation in history has survived the twin evils of unsustainable budget deficits and socialism and continued as a world leader. America is not immune from economic realities. We must act quickly to reverse our course and draw back from the economic abyss.”

“Our next fundraising goal is $200,000 cash-on-hand, which will establish us as a National Republican Congressional Committee’s “top priority, Young Gun”. The NRCC’s evaluation of our campaign puts us on the radar screen of every contributor in America who is willing to fight to protect America from Washington’s present course of unsustainable budget deficits, socialism, moral decay and declining defense capabilities.”

“The Mo Brooks campaign is part of a nationwide effort to gain the 41 Congressional seats needed to unseat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and convert the U.S. House into a bastion that will promote and protect the fundamental values that make America the greatest nation in history. Our goal is achievable. We gained 54 seats in the 1994 elections. The Alabama 5th Congressional District must do its part to deprive Speaker Pelosi of the votes she needs to stay in power.”

“100% of our contributions came from individual citizens, 93% from 5th Congressional District residents; and 98% from Alabama citizens.”

“The vast majority of our contributions were from one-on-one solicitations. Roughly 80-90% of everyone I’ve asked for help has contributed.”
