Flinn Signs Mount Vernon Statement

MILLINGTON, TN - George Flinn, Republican candidate for Congress in Tennessee’s 8th district, today joined national conservative leaders and grassroots activists across the nation by signing the Mount Vernon Statement. The Mount Vernon Statement is a forward-looking document for the 21st century that lays out a set of defining beliefs, principles and values for constitutional conservatism. The Statement was unveiled yesterday near the home of our first President in Alexandria, Virginia.

Dr. Flinn said, “It gives me great pride to join tens of thousands of Americans and dozens of nationally-recognized conservative leaders by signing this important document. Our country has strayed from the guiding principles of our Founding Fathers. We deserve a government that is limited in nature, respects individual liberty, encourages the free market, offers a strong defense, and stays true to the values rooted in our Constitution. Those are the guiding principles behind my campaign and the Mount Vernon Statement reflects what my approach to governance will be in Congress.”
