North Myrtle Beach, SC -- First District Congressional Candidates Katherine Jenerette’s response to recent questions from the media.
Q1) What do you think most separates you from your eight primary opponents? What sets you apart?
Answer: When you mix motherhood, a USC education with an army paratrooper and years of experience in Local State and Federal government in South Carolina you could end up with a Congressman who is more than just a pretty face in a skirt and high heels on C-span. That’s pretty different.
Q2) Specifically, what would be the first two or three things you would do in your first year in office, if elected?
Answer: The first two or three things I intend to do is a list of about two-dozen things starting with the Economy and Jobs and a lot in-between. I don’t have to tell the people what our problems are in South Carolina – they know it, we’re almost broke from too many taxes and a lot of people are plain scared of losing the jobs they have and the answer isn’t in Washington except to get the Federal government red-tape-bureaucracy as far away from small businesses and stop taxing peoples hard earned money.
Second, we have to get our National Security Agenda on track and that starts with securing our borders because if we can send unmanned aircraft drones thousands of miles away to take out targets in Afghanistan we can certainly build a fence along our border with Mexico. Arizona is on the right track and the Federal Governments policies on borders, visas and immigration is screwed up.
Third, I intend to reintroduce my fellow Congressman – especially Speaker Nancy Pelosi – to the U.S. Constitution, and I figure after a while even Pelosi will get tired of me whistling Dixie to her and learn something about us Carolina girls ability to stand our ground up-close and personal.
Q3) What do you consider your single most important experience that has prepared you to serve in Congress?
Answer: I’d say the single most important thing was my years as a U.S. Congressional Field Representative for the First District which gave me a ton of experiences about our needs and the needs of the average person in the district. That experience shaped my principles: As a congressman I won't just be representing the right, left or either extreme or the people in the middle – I will represent all the people of my district and that includes the richest businessmen 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 dang big.
Government is supposed to be about people. I've always thought that the bigger the government, the smaller the individual – and that one small voice is always important, because when we lose that, we lose what the American dream is all about.
Q4) What do you feel has been the most overlooked issue in this campaign?
Answer: I think that when fifty percent of your jobs and working people are involved with the Tourism Economy which I call “Industry without Smoke Stacks’ I figure that issue should be up there on the list with the Ports of Georgetown and Charleston harbors. I felt that issue was overlooked and it needs to be part of the conversation – it only came up in the context of the Louisiana Oil Spill and like it on not, tourism is what we do best: Carolina Sun, Sand and Food and Charleston hospitality is who we are.

SUBJECT: South Carolina 1st Congressional Candidates Team up to Denounce Defense Department Re-Appropriation
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.”

TheForgottenStreet Endorses Jenerette
TheForgottenStreet have come out publicly and endorses Katherine Jenerette, Christine O'Donnell, and Marco Rubio.
"Just up the road in South Carolina, a dynamic, conservative Gulf War veteran, a woman whose background as a paratrooper will serve her well, is making a race out of it in the Republican bid for the First Congressional District in the Palmetto State. Katherine Jenerette offers voters a true fiscal conservative with solid American values.
I’ve had the pleasure of talking with her about the issues we face in our nation. I found her intelligent, informed and impassioned. I can assure you that she will bring a fresh voice to the halls of Congress to fight the socialist dreams of Nancy Pelosi and her band of thieves. Please learn more about Katherine at www.jenerette.com"

Another Jenerette Video
I saw that a fellow supporter on Katherine's Facebook Fan Page posted a video of when Katherine was running for Senate in 2004. I still wanted to highlight Katherine and the video on my page to let people know this is exactly the type of patriot we need in Congress!
Some more words from DaTechGuy
by DaTechGuy
"I’ve written quite a bit about Katherine Jenerette’s campaign for the SC-1 seat for a guy who lives in north central Massachusetts, but if you want to actually hear what she has to say in her own words in front of the voters who will actually decide if she will represent them, here is your chance..."
DaTechGuy goes on to say...
"For someone who has been fighting planned parenthood in Fitchburg, words like this are music to my ears. I must admit I have a soft spot for her, particularity when I see comments like this on articles"
"Ironic. If the Cradle-to-Grave-ObamaCare goes down in flames, it won’t be due to powerful Washington players or big money.
It will be the voices of thousands of unborn children and some brave Congressman who stood their ground concerning Federal Funding with Tax Dollars and those unborn children.
Babies and Taxes Dollars and Power. Who would have thought it?"- -Katherine's comment in response to the FITS article
Rising Star Profile
Gilia R from HDR features Katherine Jenerette on her blog as a Rising Star...
"I’ve decided to start highlighting some of the amazing, dedicated and talented individuals who are running in key political races this year. After the incredible victory by Scott Brown in Massachusetts, it’s obvious that we can have an impact on any election in this country. And, there is good reason to hope for the future with such qualified candidates. We just need to know who the people are that we should support. The first person I’d like to feature is Katherine Jenerette of South Carolina, an Army veteran who is running for Congress. Check out her profile here: Katherine Jenerette Be sure to let all your friends and relatives in South Carolina know about Katherine and tell them to support her"
