Wardell's Jobs Plan Gains Steam

While other Republican candidates troll for votes today eating fish and passing out stickers, Michael Wardell continues to work towards creating a favorable environment for job expansion in Southwest Missouri. Wardell did not spend time at the annual Sucker Days event in his hometown of Nixa, other than a brief stop to say hello to his neighbors, speak to veterans and friends at the American Legion, and enjoy a few minutes in the sunshine.
It was back to work then as he developed his presentations for Japan and Asia for his upcoming trade mission as well as numerous meetings coming up with chambers of commerce organizations around the Ozarks. Jobs are more important right now than passing out stickers in hopes of votes.
Wardell has already won the interests and the support of multiple companies in the Ozarks that look to increase their bottom line by expanding their markets into Asia or anywhere else in the globe. These businesspersons understand the importance of his trip and what it means to the local economy and they are hoping Wardell will open up relationships so their products hit shelves in Asia.
Wardell and these businesses believe exporting products from the Ozarks to the rest of the world will help families in the Ozarks through job creation. These companies know they cannot wait for tax cuts to expand their businesses. They also realize tax cuts may not be immediately around the corner to create a more favorable economic environment. That is why Wardell’s plan has generated the interest of so many Southwest Missouri business leaders.
It’s also the reason why Southwest Missouri voters have a different choice in this year’s Republican primary. The other candidates are speaking typical platform politics, but Wardell’s plan gives each Southwest Missouri business an opportunity to grow, either directly or indirectly from the benefits that will trickle down if Southwest Missouri grows their exports to Asia and other parts of the world.

Newton Co. Mo GOP reverses it's decision against fellow vet Jeff Wisdom

I guess Jeff and I raised enough attention about Newton Co GOP's decision to bar him from speaking that they have reversed their decision.
I applaud them for their reconsideration and look forward to going to Neosho next week to speak.

Wardell in solidarity with Jeff Wisdom over Newton Co. Mo. GOP's refusal to let him speak.

I am shocked and dismayed in the Newton County, Mo. Republican Committee’s refusal to allow a representative of Jeff Wisdom speak on his behalf while he serves us in the Middle East, while on active duty with the U.S. Navy.
This is a slap in the face of every man and woman who has ever put on the Uniform of an American Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine.
Mr. Nick Myers’, who is the Chair of the Republicans in Newton County, decision to refuse a man who is at this moment in the Middle East serving his country, the ability to share his vision with voters in Newton Co., is, to put it politely, Bovine Scatology, and should not be tolerated by Americans of either party.
As a Marine and a Brother in Arms with Jeff, I stand united with him and will boycott this event until this wrong is corrected.
I also implore my fellow candidates to join Jeff and I in denouncing this horrible decision as well as its boycott.

Michael J. Wardell Sr.
United States Marine Corps (Retired)
Candidate, United States House of Representatives, 7th Congressional District, Missouri

Jobs are my number one priority, tax cuts are second.

I can already hear the howls of protest about the title from my opponents, but hear me out. Tax cuts are nearly impossible given the current political climate. I'm going to give everyone something to think about. So here is goes:

Everyone who is running on the Republican ticket want's to cut taxes. But lets be real. We are in mid-term elections. If we do win the House back, which is very possible, it is virtually impossible to win the Senate back, but it's a good chance we will make some inroads. The President would Veto everything that is sent his way for the next two years as he slides into the title: Lame Duck President. Then we have to win the White House back to begin to repair the damage this current President has done, and only then be able to cut taxes or implement the Fair Tax, which I support completely.

So we are talking Summer of 2013 before we can even hope for tax relief. Many of the people in Southwest Mo. don't have that much time to waste. People need to pay bills and mortgages. We Need JOBS! Waiting on the Federal Gov. to change to a more favorable environment is unacceptable. We must start doing things different in order to achieve a different result. Exporting products to Asia, South America, Europe and Africa will increase demand which in turn creates more production. "Hey! We need a second shift!" is a problem every business want's. But we also need to step up our game as well. Learn to eat with your left hand is awkward if your a righty like me, but it can be done. My connections to Japan and Asia will open doors for business to begin. It's like dating, you can't go to dinner unless you first start a conversation. There are people in the district that are available to assist in the logistics of getting our products out the door, but its up to us to take the initiative to act first. People in other countries LOVE Made in America products, we just have to show them what we have.
