Sarah Palin of the South

For Immediate Release – April 22, 2010

North Myrtle Beach, SC -- GOP First District Congressional Candidates Tim Scott and Katherine Jenerette teamed up on Wednesday to decry the federal government’s decision to siphon millions of dollars away from the Department of Defense budget to erect a monument to Ted Kennedy in Boston, Massachusetts.

“I don’t know of any Taxpayer Paid shrine or mausoleum to any politician in Massachusetts or South Carolina that can stop an RPG or IED or an AK-47 round in Iraq or Afghanistan ,” said Jenerette a veteran of the Persian Gulf War and a former U.S. Congressional Aide. “But if that $20 million can help save one single American soldier’s life downrange in Iraq or Afghanistan, it’s worth it to keep it in the U.S. Defense Department budget and not siphon it off for the Sainthood of Ted Kennedy or anyone else.”

At least $19 million has been siphoned from the U.S. Defense Department budget to pay for the Kennedy shrine, which could ultimately end up costing taxpayers as much as $80 million.

“Our magnificent military is being stretched by 2 wars right now. The Pentagon, just today, requested another $33 billion towards the efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Wasting tax dollars is bad enough, but weakening our military in the process is absolutely inexcusable,” Scott said. “When the people of this country told Congress that it was time to start prioritizing spending – this is just the opposite of what they had in mind.”

“On matters like this Tim Scott and I see eye-to-eye,” said Jenerette, an Army Paratrooper and Officer in the U.S. Army Reserve. “We already know Washington D.C. is full of political con-artists who can pull money out of one taxpayer’s pocket and stick it into another pocket without blinking an eye; so anytime we can highlight examples of ‘Pork-Gone-Wild’ in Congress I’ll be glad to work with Tim or any other member of our legislative delegation.”

DownWithTyranny Gives Another Shout Out to Jenerette

 "How could that not make me think of Katherine? As you may know, she's the teabagger candidate in the Republican primary for South Carolina's open First District, most of the state's lovely coast other than Beaufort County. And now it's her turn, having just returned from the teabaggy anti-tax protest in Charleston"

Jenerette Speaks at TEA Party Event

“Most Politicians never met a dollar they didn’t like; once that dollar leaves your pocket you probably will never see it again.

Even though I don’t consider P.O.R.K a four letter word, as in ‘PORK for our District of South Carolina’ I draw the line with a basic set of principles:

ONE, on the other sid...e of every dollar I vote to spend as a Congressman there is a hardworking taxpayer or business struggling in a difficult economy.

TWO, Article I Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution is explicit on what the Federal Government can do with your money and if it’s not there I’m voting against it.

THREE, I intend to introduce legislation to repeal the 16th Amendment that started the Federal Income Tax in 1913. Somehow, our country managed to survive without a personal income tax for 137 years.

Finally, earmarks are the part of the pig that makes political pork more obscene as it is passed from Congressman to Congressman. Earmarks must be in the spotlight and read out loud word-by-word and clearly state who benefits from that earmark and who is hung out to dry with their pockets picked.

Fiscal responsibility for Congress is simple, if you want to have responsibility keep as much of your money at home and don’t expect some politician to babysit your dollars.” - Katherine Jenerette

Warriors For Congress Endorses Katherine Jenerette

SUBJECT: Katherine Jenerette Receives National Endorsement for Congress

North Myrtle Beach, SC -- A major national organization, Warriors for Congress, http://www.warriorsforcongress.com/ that’s supporting a select group of only eight combat veterans nationwide running for Congress, has announced that they are endorsing North Myrtle Beach’s Katherine Jenerette in her bid to become the U.S. Congressman for the 1st Congressional District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Jenerette is a veteran of the Persian Gulf War Operation Desert Storm and is still serving as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserve and an Army Paratrooper assigned to Ft. Bragg.  

Jenerette was named last week by Melanie Morgan, a nationally known radio host, TV personality, and fundraiser for pro-military causes, who is the Chairman of Warriors of Congress.  Previously, Morgan co-founded Move America Forward, the nation’s largest grassroots, pro-troops nonprofit. 

Morgan said, “Katherine Jenerette is a role model for American women and all members and veterans of the military.  She’s the first female paratrooper ever to run for Congress, and she’s truly exemplary in her commitment to conservative values, the Constitution, and to our country.”
Katherine Jenerette said:  “I’m more than humbled to receive the endorsement of living patriots and legends like Melanie Morgan and Catherine Moy and a superb organization like Warriors for Congress.  Their national support will help me get my message across to the voters of South Carolina’s 1st District which in turn will help us to bring a constitutional voice with aggressive dedicated fighters into Washington, D.C.  I’m more convinced than ever that I can win this important congressional race.”  

 “My principles are simple, as a congressman,” Jenerette continued. “I won't just be representing the right, left or either extreme or the people in the middle – I represent all the people as clearly stated in the Constitution of the United States of America.”

“I view myself as a strict Constitutionalist. But, I will never forget that I serve the people of my district and that includes the richest businessmen in the district and it includes single-moms with kids who are trying to get them through school to educate them and the ordinary people like me who go to work and pay their taxes and wished their government wasn't so darn big.”

“I've always thought that the bigger the government, the smaller the individual – and that one small voice is important because when we lose that, we lose what the American dream is all about.” Katherine has served as a U.S. Congressional Field Representative for the First District and as a North Myrtle Beach Planning Commissioner and is an advocate of numerous Coastal Caronia Initiatives and economic Development plans. 

Warriors for Congress’ Mission Statement outlines the principles Jenerette pledged to adhere to:  “Warriors for Congress will vet candidates, interview them, and ensure that they want to stop deficit spending; refuse to increase the weight of the government on our citizens; stand ready to protect American citizens and America’s security anywhere in the world; fight tax increases; refuse to vote for or enact any law that does not also apply to Congressional members; and understand explicitly that, if elected, they work for the citizens, not the other way around.” 

Through its political action committee, Warriors for Congress will provide financial assistance to Jenerette’s campaign.  Its web site, http://www.warriorsforcongress.com/ will publicize Jenerette’s candidacy and encourage Americans to volunteer in her support. 

Katherine has a degree from Coastal Carolina University and holds a Master’s Degree from the University of South Carolina, Columbia. As a track and field and cross country athlete at CCU, Katherine received NCAA Big South Conference honors. "
 

April Confirmed Jenerette Events

O'Donnell, Jenerette, and Burns by Steve Maloney

"Who's the "Sarah Palin of the East?" According to popular blogger Mark Levin Fan, it's Christine O'Donnell, conservative candidate for the U.S. Senate in Delaware. My friend Christine is a remarkable young woman, pro-life and pro-Constitution, and any state would be proud to have as its Senator.

And the "Sarah Palin of the South," another friend, Katherine Jenerette, has a blogger fan, the talented Chantel Zandi, at www.sarahpalinofthesouth.blogspot.com. Katherine is pro-life, pro-Constitution, and the first female paratrooper ever to run for Congress.

. . . and Sarah, please also endorse Tim Burns, Republican candidate for the old "Murtha seat" in PA's 12th congressional district. A Burns victory in the special election on May 18 could herald a cascade of defeats for liberals in November of this year. No one has ever confused Tim's looks with those of Sarah Palin, but he agrees with her on every critical issue.

These contests are critical to the future of our country. I hope Gov. Palin will step forward as she has before and back these fine candidates to the hilt.

Sarah, Katherine Jenerette, running for Congress in SC's 1st district is a pro-life, pro-gun, pro-Constitution, pro-Tea Party conservative, and the same characteristics are true of Christine O'Donnell, U.S. Senate candidate running for the old "Biden seat" in Delaware. Tim Burns takes the same stands on all key issues.

These are outstanding individuals who face uphill battles, but have very good chances of winning. They are proving to be very skilled at running quickly uphill. The mountaintop is in sight for all of them. All of them need to remember the old spiritual, "Go Tell It On The Mountain." With our help, they will win.

Sarah, an endorsement from you could make a big difference for Christine, Katherine, and Tim. It would help them raise money, which they must do to win, and it would activate your huge army of supporters behind them. They will all make you proud.

More to follow in the days ahead about Christine, Tim, and Katherine. Please check out their web sites." - Steven Maloney

Jenerette Stands Her Ground by Steve Maloney

"Conservative Katherine Jenerette is running for Congress in South Carolina's beautiful 1st congressional district, stretching from historic Charleston through Myrtle Beach to the North Carolina state line. Katherine, my friend, may be the very best person running for Congress in America.

A student of history and an expert on the U.S. Constitution (the one Obama, Pelosi, and Reid ignore), Katherine is the first female paratrooper ever to run for Congress. Katherine has made 15 jumps. She' s currently an officer in the U.S. Army Reserve. In her college days, she was a world-class long distance runner, and her daughter "Benji" is following in mom's footsteps.

With her fellow paratroopers, Katherine does indeed stand her ground. Paratroopers aren't "good" at retreating, at surrendering, or at running away. In 2004, Katherine ran her first political race -- against "Dickie" Elliott, a career politician and lavishly financed state Senator. Dickie spent $250,000 on the race; Katherine spent $26,000. Dickie won . . . in a race so close that the final results weren't known for days.

A top South Carolina political blog said the other day that "Katherine continues to exceed expectations." In fact, her expectations -- and mine -- are that she will win this race against some of the biggest names in Carolina politics. She may be the greatest "old-style" candidate in the modern history of the South. She presses the flesh constantly. She is relentless.

And yes, folks, she needs our help . . . our donations. She can't help us take back our America unless we help her get elected. The ultimate "Tea Party" candidate, Katherine doesn't have a horde of rich backers. Instead, she has us . . . the American people.

Katherine, my friend and my woman warrior, we -- the conservatives of America -- will "stand our ground" . . . with you. You know, and we know, that winning is an act of will, and in a good sense, you are the most will-full person I know. You go, gal." - Steve Maloney
