DETROIT OPPORTUNITY ZONES

In the city of Detroit, the very face of destructive liberal economics, presidential candidate Herman Cain presents his vision of turning poverty-stricken communities into thriving Opportunity Zones as part of his bold “9-9-9 Plan.”

Dean Kleckner endorses Herman Cain for President

“Herman Cain reminds me of Ronald Reagan and I knew Ronald Reagan.”

Dean Kleckner is a retired farmer who served as president of the Iowa Farm Bureau for 10 years, and was elected to seven two-year terms as president of the American Farm Bureau. He also served on the U.S. Trade Advisory Committee under Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton.

Inside the Beltway media attacks Cain

Fearing the message of Herman Cain who is shaking up the political landscape in Washington, Inside the Beltway media have begun to launch unsubstantiated personal attacks on Cain.

Dredging up thinly sourced allegations stemming from Mr. Cain’s tenure as the Chief Executive Officer at the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, political trade press are now casting aspersions on his character and spreading rumors that never stood up to the facts.

Since Washington establishment critics haven’t had much luck in attacking Mr. Cain’s ideas to fix a bad economy and create jobs, they are trying to attack him in any way they can.

Sadly, we’ve seen this movie played out before - a prominent Conservative targeted by liberals simply because they disagree with his politics.

Mr. Cain — and all Americans, deserve better.
