Thank you for eight years as your Lieutenant Governor

June 9, 2010

I'd like to thank my family and friends from all around the great State of South Carolina. It's been a long tough campaign, but I am very proud of the positive issues oriented campaign we have run. You all have been with me in 2002 and 2006 in my elections for Lt. Governor. And I am proud to say that you have stood by me once again.

I am truly blessed to be living the American Dream and I am humbled by the many blessings in my life.

I did not run for Governor to be politically correct or to always say what everyone wants to hear. No one can say that André dodges the tough issues and I never will regardless of where life's journey leads me.

We must still believe that all South Carolinians deserve to share in the dream of living in the greatest state in the nation, and while I will not be the next Governor I plan to continue championing these important issues.

Again, thank you for your support, and keep me in your prayers as we continue to work towards our mutual goal of creating a great South Carolina.

Your friend,

Tomorrow, South Carolinians will go to the polls to decide who will represent the Republican Party in general election. We have the opportunity to bring a different kind of leadership and vision to South Carolina; a leader who will out-work any Governor before him, and bring a bright new future with financial stability and new industry.

It is time we elect a true businessman to be the CEO of our state; a leader who has continued to sign the front of a paycheck while serving the people of South Carolina.

André has continued to display his unbreakable work ethic throughout this campaign; we began this campaign with a 24-hour tour of South Carolina, a feat no other candidate has dreamt of attempting.

Only to be followed up by doing a four day tour to EVERY county in South Carolina. The final hours are upon us and we need you now more than ever.

Here are some ways you can help:

1. Go vote, the simplest task can often be overlooked. This will be one of the closest primaries in the history of South Carolina, your vote matters now, more than ever. Motivate your family and friends to vote, share with them the reason you are voting for André; your influence alone can provide the boost we need.

2. Grab a sign and go wave! All across the state we are asking people to pick a busy intersection or road in the morning, lunch time and rush hour to wave Andre signs. André sees this as being one of the keys to victory and what could give him the boost needed.

3. Join André at Copper River in Greenville for Victory Party, Haywood location election night, June 8th, at 6:30 PM. We will be celebrating the tireless work ethic André, our team and you have put into this campaign.
