Wilson Receives Recognition by American Conservative Union

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 21, 2009

Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) issued the following statement today after the American Conservative Union bestowed on the congressman a positive rating of 92 in their annual ratings of conservatism in Congress.

“As a lifelong conservative, I am grateful for this recognition. The cause of limited and responsible government continues to be threatened by those in Washington whose unfounded faith in government has led them to expand its size, scope, and power while asking the American taxpayers to pick up the tab. I will continue to fight on behalf of American families to reform our nation’s government, to rein in the massive new borrowing and spending that is mortgaging our children’s future, and to propose better solutions to the challenges we face.”
