Zeldin Reminds Bishop He Left Something Important Out of His Press Release Attacking the Honorable Allen West

Statement

Senator and Army Reserve Major Lee Zeldin, Republican and Conservative Party candidate for Congress in New York's First Congressional District, today released the following statement after his opponent, incumbent Congressman Tim Bishop, launched a full throttled assault on former Army Lt. Col. and Congressman Allen West.

"In light of today's full throttled assault on former Army Lt. Col. and Congressman Allen West, I would like to remind Congressman Bishop that he left something very important out of his release. He should have added, "And I thank retired Army Lt. Col. Allen West for his service to our country in uniform. It is his willingness to lay down his life in protection of our freedoms that I have the liberty to engage in name calling and character assassination, because I want to stay in Congress at any cost.'

On November 4th, it's time to term limit Tim. 12 years are enough of being represented by someone who embraces reckless tax increases, job killing regulations, government run health insurance and endless bad ideas with no fear of accountability on election day.

While my opponent's playbook desperately relies on name calling, and since this is a campaign for U.S. Congress and not 3rd grade class President, I will take the high road here and try to get this campaign refocused on long term solutions to the concerns of First Congressional District residents."
