540AM WFLA – Orlando’s conservative talk show host Bud Hedinger raves about Todd’s just released book The Conservative Comeback. Bud calls it “profound”, “courageous” and “tremendous”!

Listen to Bud’s interview with Todd!

The U.S. Constitution is a contract between the people and the government that greatly limits the federal government’s power. Tragically, a self-serving, power hungry Congress filled with career politicians, has engaged in hundreds of billions in unconstitutional spending for earmarks for local causes, bailouts of financial institutions and states, and set up numerous departments not authorized by our Constitution. Congress’ abuse of its constitutional authority has bankrupted the nation. Morover, Congress has stolen our social security funds leaving us with a stack of IOU’s and a collapsing social security system and mismanaged and bankrupted Medicare and Medicaid.

I believe that we must immediately begin to honor our Constitution and states’ rights, and return to a federal government that does only a very few things and does them well. This includes funding the greatest military in the world, taking excellent care of our heroic soldiers and veterans, securing our borders, and providing an effective national energy policy.
Our federal government has no authority and was not intended to create and run welfare and redistribution of wealth programs. I believe we should tend to the poor and disabled. However, these programs and services need to be paid for and administered by charities, churches,synagogues, non-profits and state and local governments, where they are run most efficiently and effectively without bankrupting the nation and destroying our children’s freedom and opportunity for prosperity.
In The Conservative Comeback, we set forth a very specific 12-Point Plan to balance our budgets and greatly reduce the size of our federal government.

Former Republican Presidential Candidate, Congressman Tom Tancredo Endorses Todd Long forFlorida’s Eighth District

Orlando — Former Republican Presidential candidate and Congressman Tom Tancredo announced today that he is endorsing Todd Long for Congress in his bid to unseat incumbent Democrat Alan Grayson in Florida’s 8th District.
“I enthusiastically support the candidacy of Todd Long for Congress. As more and more people are experiencing voter’s remorse after the last election, I have no doubt Todd’s chances of success are spectacular. With Todd you will get honesty, integrity and brains all wrapped up in a great conservative persona. Who could ask for more?” stated Congressman Tancredo.
Long said, “I am very honored to have Congressman Tancredo’s support. I have so much respect for the leadership Congressman Tancredo has shown in the fight against illegal immigration and amnesty as well as his strong conservative values. We recently worked together in Washington, D.C., during the Hold Their Feet to the Fire Summit in which conservative radio show hosts like myself and national, conservative leaders protested against the upcoming amnesty bill Democrats are seeking to pass in the next year. “

Tenth Amendment Center Endorses Long
States Rights Advocates, Activists Group Rally Behind Campaign

ORLANDO/Los Angeles — This morning, The Tenth Amendment Center endorsed Todd Long for Congress in Florida’s 8th District. The Tenth Amendment Center is a group dedicated to the preservation of State’s Rights and the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people”.

Michal Boldin, Executive Director of the Tenth Amendment Center, said, “While there are many politicians and candidates who pay lip service to the Constitution and the intentions of the founders and ratifiers, very few are willing to draw a line in the sand and support the Constitution on every issue, every time – without exceptions or excuses. Governments in this country need more people like Todd Long who are willing to put their name on the line to stand up for these very principles.”

“The federal government should only do things the states and the people cannot do for themselves. This was clearly the intention of our Founders and the reason they added the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution,” said Long. “The Founders set up a system in which different states could do things in different ways because what works in Florida may not work in New Jersey and vice versa”
