Ron
Paul
Endorsed
By NFL Player, Farmer and Former U.S. Senate Candidate
Clint Didier
Franklin County conservative says Paul
“demonstrates he has America’s
interest at heart”
BELLEVUE, Washington – 2012
Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul was endorsed today by Clint
Didier, a former NFL Washington Redskins tight end, Eltopia-area
farmer, and 2010 Tea Party-backed conservative Republican U.S. Senate
candidate.
In making his public endorsement, Mr. Didier issued the following
statement:
“I believe the next President of the United States needs to be a
defender of America protecting and maintaining her sovereignty, one who
understands the worldwide economic crisis we face and first and
foremost demonstrates he has America’s interest at heart. The
next
president must understand what constitutes a free market, be willing to
stand tall against powerful lobbying interests, and have the courage to
fight for a sound monetary policy, fiscal sanity, and individual
liberty.
“As an American farmer yearning for strong constitutional leadership, I
see Ron Paul as a loyal disciple of our founding fathers who gave us
the opportunity to experience life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness. He has displayed integrity and adherence to our
Constitution for 30 years. I have found no other presidential
candidate so disciplined.”
Mr. Didier was born and raised on a farm in Eltopia in Franklin County,
Washington. Raised with a strong work ethic he carried onto the
football field, he joined the NFL to play for the Washington Redskins
and Green Bay Packers. His football career brought him to the
field of
Super Bowl XVII and Super Bowl XXII. In Super Bowl XXII, he
scored the
final touchdown for the Redskins in the second quarter of their
35-point game, and was the leading receiver in Super Bowl XVIII.
Closing his career in professional football with two Super Bowl wins
under his belt, he established a successful farm, and has given back to
his community ever since as a football coach at Connell High
School.
He eventually made the decision in 2010 to run as a candidate for U.S.
Senate, and still lives in “Hell to Pay” Eltopia with his wife of 30
years working the farm and helping his community.
Providing a strong boost to Ron Paul’s Washington State organization,
such endorsements present Ron Paul as the conservative alternative to
Mitt Romney. They also demonstrate that the 12-term Congressman
from
Texas has the only campaign organization capable of maintaining a
50-state competition with the moderate-establishment Romney.
