Thad McCotter Announcement
Today, effective immediately, I have
withdrawn my candidacy to become the Republican Party’s nominee for the
Office of President of the United States of America.
Your generous, inspiring support of my campaign made it possible to take
our message of restructuring government, reforming the big bailout banks
and peace through strength directly to the American people at a
grassroots level. On Main Street, in Iowa, New Hampshire and all across
our great Nation, people understand this message is the way to transcend
our challenges, revitalize our economy, defend our freedom and bequeath
our exceptional nation to our children. The Democrats and their
lobbyist, Barack Obama, disagree. They’ve grown big government’s
spending, taxes, red tape, deficits and debt and prolonged this
recession. Yet in their irresponsibility, the Democrats remain united in
their party unity behind Barack Obama.
It is time for us to do the same. We cannot unite America if we divide
the movement of Principled Conservatism. The time has come for the Tea
Party and the Republican Party to come together to serve and save this
great nation. Thus, upon having withdrawn my candidacy, I have endorsed
Governor Mitt Romney to become our Republican Party’s nominee. We must
unite behind the candidate best capable of defeating Barack Obama on
November 6, 2012—Mitt Romney is that candidate.
The actions of the Administration and the Democratic Senate show what
America knows: we are being neither led nor governed. Our struggle
continues. The American people deserve leadership in Washington that
understands America’s exceptionalism is not our burden but our
birthright; and that America’s ultimate strength and salvation remains
the unfathomable grace of God and virtuous genius of her free people.
This is why I have decided to seek re-election to continue to serve as
your United States Representative for Michigan’s new 11th Congressional
District; and, I am committed to promoting and implementing a platform
of principled conservatism.
Truly, Michigan and America’s best days are ahead of us because of you.
Together we will transcend our challenges; revitalize our economy;
defend our freedom; and bequeath our exceptional nation to our children.
If I am again entrusted to be your servant, I would continue to be
honored to work for you.
