From Tom Clements for US Senate:
Green Party Fields Senate Candidate to Challenge DeMint & Greene, only three candidates to be on November ballot
As Democrats struggle with their choice of candidate, the best choice for South Carolina is the truly Green candidate – Tom Clements
Columbia, SC — In what promises to further make the senatorial election an interesting affair, the South Carolina Green Party also has a viable candidate running for the senate seat. The Green Party candidate will be the only third party candidate on the ballot, making the race between a maximum of three candidates.
Tom Clements, noted environmental activist in South Carolina, was affirmed by the Green Party convention in early May to be the senate candidate and all paperwork was properly filed with the State Election Commission. Mr. Clements’ candidacy can be seen listed under third party candidates on the election commission website at: http://www.scvotes.org/files/2010%20Convention%20Party%20Candidates.pdf
“I intend to run a campaign that will represent the concerns of South Carolina and that will challenge Mr. DeMint for his policies which support his form of big government at the detriment of working folks,” said Tom Clements, a Columbia resident. “While DeMint rails against big government and government spending he endorses policies that impoverish all of us and weaken our country; it’s time for this incumbent to go. I will work to bring a balanced budget to the U.S. while forcefully protecting the environment and curbing military adventurism which has brought our country to its knees. I am the only truly Green candidate in this race and am proud of it.” Continue Reading →
