Long is Wrong about the Post office, and here's why:

Scott gets it, others don't. I spoke to Eck about this issue and he is all for paying the Post Office their due.
His opponent.....well, here's my take:

Billy Long is showing his personal stripes of giving an uneducated response....again.
I learned that in business if you can't answer the question, you get the persons contact info and follow-up by COB the next day.

Long has been quoted by KY3 as wanting to 'cut costs' in order to get the spending of the P.O under control and the US Taxpayer. Sounds Great....but here are the facts :
 
The P.O. overpaid the CSRS fund (Civil Service Retirement System) by 75 billion since 1972.  A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you're talking a lotta money.  This is a ton of money, and the Government owes it to the P.O. 

A report on the findings stated

:

"A study just released by the U.S. Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) shows that the current system of funding the Postal Service’s Civil Service Retirement System pension responsibility is inequitable and has resulted in the Postal Service overpaying $75 billion to the pension fund. The OIG estimates that if the overcharge was used to prepay the Postal Service’s health benefits fund, it would fully meet all of the Postal Service’s accrued retiree health care liabilities and eliminate the need for the required annual payments of more than $5 billion. Also, the health benefits fund could immediately start meeting its intended purpose -- paying the annual payment for current retirees, which was $2 billion in 2009. "

 

So in other words guys. If congress would pay the Post Office its due, they would be generating revenue. Scott understands this but 'Businessman' Billy Long doesn't 

Draw your own conclusions..

Welcome to Republicans and Conservatives for Scott Eckersley

If you are like me, you are having a hard time stomaching that Billy Long won the Republican nomination to replace Roy Blunt in Congress. Long claims he shares the same values as Southwest Missourians, but I can't bring myself to figure out what these values are. Long takes his family to Sin City for vacations, plays in the World Poker Tour, hangs out in local bars all over town, and well, the list goes on. These are the values of Ted Kennedy and not the values I want representing Southwest Missouri as a conservative Republican.

I hope you will consider looking at a qualified candidate who has a history of ethics in government. That's why I am launching Republicans for Scott Eckersley, a Web site dedicated to sharing with conservatives across Missouri's 7th Congressional District why Scott Eckersley would make a better Congressman than Long.

For those worried about him being a Democrat, Eckersley is pro-life, he isn't backed nationally or even by the state Democratic party. He is an independent minded conservative candidate who opposed Obamacare and realizes Nancy Pelosi doesn't have Southwest Missouri's best interest. Eckersley won't be a rubber stamp for the Obama agenda, and he supports the tea party movement.

With just less than 40 days to the November election, won't you take a good look at Scott Eckersley with an open mind and see that he represents the conservative values of Southwest Missouri better than Long does.
