 What They're Saying About Rob Wasinger


"It may seem early to be writing about a candidate for Congress, but when there is someone who stands so strongly on the side of the right principles and sound judgment as Rob Wasinger it just makes sense to say so," said Thompson. "Rob has the commitment to the bedrock, fundamental principles that will restore America, protect us all from the enemies of freedom, and be an advocate for sound policies. I strongly endorse Rob Wasinger for the Republican nomination."
 
-- Senator Fred Thompson, former GOP presidential candidate

"Rob has been a great friend and ally of community bankers across the state.  I am proud to support him in his bid for Congress."

-- Mike Johnson, Banking Executive, Cortland


"As we look at the remarkable challenges facing our country and our culture, it is critical that we support the next generation of conservative leadership who will correct the course that our current leaders have taken in Washington, DC. Rob Wasinger is exactly the kind of proven leader we can trust to represent heartland Kansas values in the United States Congress.
 
"Rob understands that free people and the American entrepreneurial spirit--not more government and exploding deficits--will get our economy out of the free fall that it is in. Rob understands that parents and pastors--not judges and politicians--are the best teachers of the values which make a free and virtuous society possible. Rob is a proven leader and stands out among leaders on Capitol Hill who have been courageous in promoting limited government, traditional values, and constitutional principles. I wholeheartedly endorse Rob's candidacy for Congress and urge all fellow citizens to support Wasinger for Congress."
 
-- David Barton, Conservative Historian and One of TIME Magazine's 25 Most Influential Evangelicals
 
"I learned from my years of working with Rob while he was on Senator Sam Brownback’s staff that Rob knows firsthand how unneeded regulations unnecessarily burden the agriculture industry.  We can count on Rob to fight for producer's and small business owner's rights to run their operations as they see fit, without government intervention.  He's been doing it his whole career. Rob's experience and his grasp of the issues important to agriculture and rural Kansas will allow him to be a successful Congressman on day one."
 
-- Tom Tunnel, President and CEO, Kansas Grain and Feed Association*


"Standing behind great leaders in our nation's capital are the key staffers who guide the legislative agenda. For Senator Brownback -- our great friend and pro-lifer hero -- that man has been Rob Wasinger. Simply put, there has been no greater friend of the unborn child behind the scenes on Capitol Hill than Rob Wasinger. His mastery of legislative strategy is only matched by his unwavering commitment to the cause of life."
 
-- Fr. Frank Pavone, National Pro-Life Leader


"My experiences with Rob over the years, as a former Abilene City Commissioner and Mayor, and now a Board Member of USD 435 has always been excellent. His responses to my questions and concerns were always prompt and well-founded."
 
-- John Zutavern, former Abilene City Commissioner and Mayor, and now a Board Member of USD 435


"I am proud to call Rob Wasinger a great friend and one of my top allies in working to build a Culture of Life in Washington. There are very few pro-life leaders in Washington who understand the complexities of bioethical issues such as stem-cell research and human cloning -- Rob is one of them and he is an expert. In order to challenge President Obama and the liberals in Congress, we must elect smart and savvy legislators who are not afraid to take them head on, and I know Rob will do just that -- and win. The pro-life movement must take back the majority in 2010 -- let's start by lending our early and enthusiastic support to Rob Wasinger."
 
-- Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of the Susan B. Anthony List*


"I am impressed with Rob Wasinger for his Christian conservative values that are realistic in todays politicical arena. I met Rob when he was on a listening tour across the State for Senator Brownback.  His experience in that office and connection with our rural, small community and small business needs I believe will represent us well in Washington.  Rob has seen the big picture and knows the issues of bringing business to Kansas. He has the know-how to be aggressive and will champion our causes to really make a difference."
 
-- Lynda M. Fort, Small Business Owner, Ulysses

 
"There are very few people I've met in the halls of Congress who have worked harder for the sanctity of human life than Rob Wasinger. Rob is an effective leader who has worked tirelessly to awaken the conscience of Washington to promote public policy that protects human life, in all its stages. When he is elected to Congress, the culture of death will have a real enemy in Rob Wasinger and a real friend, ally, and leader for those of us in the pro-life movement. In my beautiful sister Terri's memory, I urge you to join me and my family in supporting his bid for public office."
 
-- Bobby Schindler, brother of Terri Schinder Schiavo

"Rob has an understanding of the issues that are important to those of us throughout the Big 1st.  I appreciate his willingness to listen to concerns, study the issues and provide workable solutions.  We need to elect officials that will make thoughtful decisions for the future of Kansas! "
 
-- Lynn Peterson, Abilene Mayor (2008 - 2009), City Commissioner, Business Owner  


"The pro-life movement desperately needs brilliant policy makers in Washington that know how to work the legislative process to protect innocent life. It is one thing to introduce pro-life legislation, its another thing to try and get it passed. Rob Wasinger is tested and proven given his extensive work in writing -- and passing -- legislation for pro-life champion Senator Brownback. I am thrilled to think the successes our movement will see when he is elected to serve in Congress. Rob is the first candidate in a long time that I am excited to open up my checkbook and lend my support to, and I encourage all serious pro-lifers who want to see advancements in Washington to do so as well."
 
-- Rick Valentine, former executive director, Americans United for Life

"Western Kansas is fortunate to have a strong, truly conservative Republican running for the 1st District.  We in Hays have had many dealings with Rob while he served for Senator Brownback and he worked to help us to obtain a water allocation study for Wilson Lake which is crucial not only to Hays and Russell but also important to all the towns that are searching for long term water sources between Wilson Lake and Hays.  He worked to help the Hays airport with our attempt to move the VORTAC and other FAA issues and I know that he will continue to fight for us in Western Kansas after the election.  I am pleased to lend my support for Rob Wasinger as our 1st District Congressman."
 
-- Barbara Wasinger, Mayor of Hays
