Statement Regarding Citizens United Letter

by Team Huck

Citizens United Spokesman, Jeff Marschner: "Neither Governor Huckabee nor Dave Bossie, President of Citizens United, approved the language presented and used in the fundraising letter that was sent out as a test to a small number of people. Both have taken corrective action to make sure that this does not happen again. It is language that is beneath Governor Huckabee and Dave Bossie and language that they would not use."

Governor Huckabee: "This was a complete surprise to me. I most certainly did not approve such language and would never have used that kind of repulsive rhetoric. I repudiate that language, find it offensive to me, and have ordered that it be pulled immediately."

    Governor, I have heard an accusation recently that you signed a mandate to include contraception in all health insurance policies sold in Arkansas. Is this true?

    I hope my PAC donations are NOT being spent to help a very rich Lt. Gov. Dewhurst of Texas become senator. I have received your robo phone calls and seen your TV ads saying that poor Dewhurst is being attacked by the D.C. insiders. I did not know that the TEA Party members were included in this elite D.C. Party leaders. We are the only ones criticizing Dewhurst so your ad is very misleading and dishonest too! The GOP is eager to get David in the senate to walk the party line. I am disappointed in your endorsement of this career politician who's only concern is himself and his special interest groups and financial backers. Texans want some new faces who are true fiscal/social conservatives.

    What are we to make of this message if we have not heard of the Citizens United letter? Go to the internet and search for it?

    We knew it wasn't you the minute we read the quotes. Blessings, Governor Huckabee. Keep speaking the truth in love.

    I voted for Obama, and will do so again. If you "repudiate" the letter, then; who sent it under yours and David Bossie's signature??
    Is the body of the letter true, that Mr. Bossie "will" find irregularities in President Obama's fund raising?
    If that's the case, then we should shut down the election, and forget about being a free country. As far as I can recall there are always minor technicalities in fund raising in any presidential election.
    Bush and his ilk have gotten us into this financial mess in his 8 years in office, and the GOP has made sure we stay right there with it's obstructionists legislative moves since President Obama was elected. I could go on, but I am sure there are those in this forum who would blame Obama for the Depression of the 1930's.
    I still want to know who sent the letter, if not Citizen's United...then who???
