Rob Maness on Principles & Values

	Rob Maness on Principles & Values

Call out those who don't have interests of US & her citizens

Col. Robert Maness (USAF Ret.) announced his bid for Louisiana's open Senate seat. In an exclusive interview, Maness discusses:

The difference between someone `bringing their A-game' versus `being a B-student' in the Liberty Movement, especially in the Senate.
How conservative candidates should address ineffective leadership in state and federal legislatures.
Why he believes that his experience in the United States Air Force makes him especially qualified to take on issues of national and border security.
How Congress should address the threat of ISIS and the use of military force against it.
Why Col. Maness sees the ongoing struggles regarding Planned Parenthood, SOGI laws and the defense of the family as `liberty issues.'
How he plans to "call out" Republicans who do not have the interests of the United States and her citizens.

Support Tea Party challenger for Senate Majority Leader

Maness flexed his tea party muscles, saying that, if elected, he would not support Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., as the Republican leader in the Senate and would instead back a tea party alternative. "There comes a time when someone's been in Washington too long and has lost touch," Maness said of McConnell. "Based on what I've seen, I would support somebody like a Rand Paul or a Ted Cruz to be the leader of the Republican Party in the Senate."

But Maness added that he doesn't think McConnell will even be around for another term. Like Landrieu, the Senate Minority Leader is up for re-election this year and is facing a full-frontal assault from the tea party in the GOP primary. Maness said he favors conservative businessman Matt Bevin in the Kentucky contest.

Constitutional Rights are cornerstones of our great nation

My Principles: Protect and Defend Individual Liberty and Constitutional Rights: These are the cornerstones of our great nation. The Federal Government's role is to protect and defend its citizens and our inalienable rights by upholding the Constitution. I will fight against the Federal Government's infringement upon personal liberty and work to restore individual rights. I will work to restore the checks and balances of power as stated in the Constitution by insisting that each branch of government fulfills only their appropriate responsibilities and does not overstep their bounds.
