AFA and Harper, Broadwater

An email from the Gregg Harper campaign announces the endorsement of Don Wildmon, founder of the American Family Association in Tupelo. The email from campaign manager Michael Craves says Wildmon "has decided to personally support Gregg's candidacy for Congress. Don will be contacting his friends from around the state with his decision. To say the very least, Gregg was excited and humbled by Don's decision. As you know, Don has been a long-time advocate of traditional family values, focusing primarily on the influence of television and other media on our society."

Meanwhile, James Braodwater has asked AFA to host a Values Voters Debate.

In an email to the American Family Association in Tupelo, Broadwater asks them "to host a Mississippi Values Voters Debate, patterned after the one held recently for the presidential candidates." The email reads, "Good morning. My name is James Broadwater and I am a Republican candidate for the Third Congressional District in Mississippi seat that Rep. Chip Pickering is vacating. I'm asking that you host a values voters debate which would be modeled after the one which was held recently for the presidential candidates.I would appreciate a quick reply to my inquiry. Blessings, James Broadwater".
