07/05/10 Grassroots Conservative Congressional Canidate Rick Torres Tells Riverside Residents That He Supports Limited Government And Free Markets

Rick Torres, candidate for Congress in Connecticut’s 4th district, told Riverside, Connecticut residents at a holiday BBQ held in Bridgeport, that he supported the “Contract From America”. “This effort embodies my beliefs in our Republic,” Torres told the active Riverside voters. “It is an effort to have policies come from the citizens instead of the self-appointed political class, it is concept we need to return to.”

The Contract From America was created by the grassroots Tea Party movement in an effort to articulate policies they except candidates to represent. The group’s website,www.contractfromamerica.com, allows activists from around the country to vote for their top ten most important policies.

Of the issues listed, Torres believes that stopping tax hikes, protecting the Constitution ending runaway government spending are extremely important. “Notice how much more responsible the policies that the people are advocating are compared to those of our politicians,” Torres noted. “We can’t tax our way out of a recession or spend our way to prosperity, yet the backwards policies of Nancy Pelosi and the incumbent politicians propose just that.”

Torres promises the Riverside Republican voters that he would be active in the Contract From America effort. “The fact is, nothing is going to change until we change the people we elect to serve us. This contract will hold our politicians feet to the fire and I expect voters to hold my feet to the fire too. The only difference is I won’t disappoint them.”

“My campaign, in many ways, reflects the Contract From America effort. We are fed up with irresponsible policies being dictated from Jim Himes and Nancy Pelosi in Washington. We are fed up with irresponsible policies being dictated from Washington. No one bureaucrat or politician will spend our money as wisely as we will. We will take back America on behalf of the people,” Torres said.
