ZOGBY POLL SHOWS LONG DECISIVELY BEATING GRAYSON
Conservative Ahead 46%-38% with 17-Point Lead Among Independents

Orlando—Today, conservative Republican Todd Long held a press conference on the steps of Democrat Alan Grayson’s office and announced the results of a July Zogby poll showing Long with an eight-point lead over Alan Grayson (D-FL) 46%-38%. The results also show Long with a commanding 17-point lead among independents in a district where independents make up about 30% of the vote.

“It is now clear that a vote for Todd Long in the Republican Primary sends Alan Grayson home in November. The voters in District Eight have decided which conservative can beat Grayson. It is time for people who want conservative, commons-sense solutions to our national challenges to come together and remove this self-serving socialist who is intent on helping Nancy Pelosi destroy our great nation,” said Long.

SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO ENDORSES TODD LONG
America’s Sheriff Sees Fighter, Leader in Long

Orlando—Today, Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, offered his endorsement to Todd Long in his bid to replace Congressman Alan Grayson (D-FL). Sheriff Arpaio is a nationally recognized leader in the immigration enforcement movement and has been fighting to secure our borders his entire career. Arpaio recently appeared at a rally in Phoenix to support Arizona and their new immigration law which was held by Long and local Tea Party activists.

“I am proud to offer my endorsement to Todd Long in his run for Congress. Todd is going to go to Washington and lead the fight against amnesty and to secure our borders,” said Arpaio. “With Todd fighting in Congress, we will have a better chance of reversing course and saving our Republic.”

Long said, “I admire Sheriff Joe so much because he gets things done and fights the courageous fight to keep Americans safe every single day. We know that President Obama is going to jam amnesty down our throats after this 2010 election. Our message is clear: The party is over!”

“I am the only candidate in this race fighting against amnesty and illegal immigration because I know how devastating it has been to our nation. I know that if we do not prevail on this issue, we will lose on all our other issues as well and become a bankrupt, government-dependent nation with a very low standard of living for its citizens. We will not be fooled any longer by these Republican candidates who are funded by big business, like illegal immigration and want cheap, illegal labor. The Conservative Comeback’s time has come!”

Long Wins Windermere Straw Poll

Posted by phil On April - 30 - 2010

LONG WINS WINDERMERE STRAW POLL
Beats Webster Handily in His Own Backyard
Orlando — Last night, Todd Long continued his undefeated streak, winning his fourth straight straw poll at the Southwest Orange County Republican (SWOCR) Candidate Forum at Windermere Town Hall. This win comes on the heels of straw poll victories at the Orange County Republican Executive Committee Hob-Nob, the Orlando TeaParty Hob-Nob, and the Celebration GOP Candidate Forum. Long was also the favorite in a poll conducted by Zogby International, which gave Long a double-digit lead, showing the conservative activist and radio show host has strong support amongst the GOP’s grassroots base. Webster (who decided not to attend the debate held in the middle of his former Senate District) finished a distant fifth in the voting.

“It is obvious, from all of these debates, that Republicans are looking for a candidate with specific, conservative solutions to our national challenges to represent them in Washington. They are looking for someone who has that fighting spirit of our Founders. Lastly, they want someone who will fiercely challenge the failed Establishment of both parties who have abandoned the principles and values that made America so prosperous and they see these qualities in our campaign,” said Long.

Posted by phil On April - 26 - 2010

Join us today, Monday, April 26 at Orlando City Hall for a Religious Freedom Rally. Two bills that are working their way through the Florida Legislature would secure for Floridians their Constitutional right to worship freely. One bill, HB31, would prevent school boards from telling teachers and faculty that they cannot wear crosses or other religious symbols in school. The other, HB1399, is an amendment to the Florida Constitution that would allow the state to directly or indirectly give money to faith based groups. Please call your State Rep. and State Senator and tell them to support these bills. Also, join us downtown at City Hall at noon to rally in support of these two bills.

LONG CONTINUES WINNING STREAK
Celebration Republicans Show Support

Celebration, FL — Last night, Todd Long won his third straight straw poll at the District Eight Candidate Forum, hosted by the Greater Celebration GOP, making a perfect sweep for Long. Long has also won straw polls hosted by the Orange County Republican Executive Committee and the Orlando Tea Party, in addition to a recent Zogby International poll that showed Long with a double-digit lead.

“All conservatives know that the Republican Party needs new leadership with fresh ideas and a real commitment to our Constitution. The voters see that in our campaign. We said in the beginning that this campaign was going to be a freight train that was going to run right over Grayson and you are seeing that happen. We call on all Republicans to get on board so we can start our general election campaign efforts now to get the job done,” said Long.
