Randy Brogdon Issues Endorsement of Charles Thompson for U.S. Congress OK-D2


(Owasso, OK) 14 Oct. 2010 – Oklahoma State Senator, and former Oklahoma Gubernatorial candidate, Randy Brogdon has endorsed Charles Thompson over Dan Boren in the upcoming general election on November 2nd to represent the citizens of Eastern Oklahoma’s 2nd. U.S. Congressional District.


Mr. Brogdon, who ran a text-book grassroots campaign in his bid for the Republican nomination in the Oklahoma Governor’s race stated: “I have had the opportunity to speak with and to get to know Charles during this campaign, I truly feel that Charles Thompson will represent the conservative values and the conservative nature of the citizens of Eastern Oklahoma far better than his opponent. Thompson’s opponent has an established record of voting for government expansion and increasing federal spending that Charles will stand firmly against”.


Brogdon, known nationally as “…a champion for state’s Rights” and for his efforts and desire to restore constitutional adherence to governance also remarked: “I believe that Charles Thompson will also work to curtail and even repeal federal intrusions into functions that are supposed to be the purview of the state. He knows that the 9th and 10th Amendments are just as important as the rest of the Bill of Rights…and they MEAN what they SAY”.


Mr. Brogdon went on to describe the OK-D2 race as: “Every U.S. Congressional seat is important…very important…and those we choose to represent us should earn our vote, not expect it. Charles Thompson is working to earn your vote while his opponent refuses open public forums and open debate with Charles. I know who I would prefer in this instance, and it’s not the career-politician that expects your vote…I prefer Charles Thompson.”


Thompson said that he was “honored to receive Senator Brogdon’s endorsement. He is someone who supports a return to our founding principles regardless of whether it is his campaign, his district, or technically his fight. I am extremely grateful for his support of my campaign.”


The general election will be held on November 2, 2010 with voting registration closing on October 8. Absentee ballot application deadline is Oct. 27 and early voting is Oct. 29, 30, and Nov. 1.

Statement from Chairman Pinnell

Boren Refusing Debates, Running from Record
For Immediate Release-10/13/10


(OKLAHOMA CITY) Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman Matt Pinnell released the following statement today in response to Dan Boren’s continued refusal to debate Dr. Charles Thompson:
“Boren’s refusal to debate Dr. Charles Thompson is one more example of Oklahoma Democratic candidates’ ducking and running this election cycle. Voters in the 2nd District deserve to hear from these two party nominees. Unfortunately, Dan Boren doesn’t want to answer questions about his voting record.


“As U.S. Senator Tom Coburn noted in his endorsement of Dr. Thompson, we have in Charles a candidate with real world experience outside of professional politics, something that is so desperately needed to change the way Washington works.


“I’m calling on Dan Boren today to buck up, answer the tough questions, and give the 2nd District the debate that they rightly deserve.” ###
