JOHN MCCAIN 2008 ANNOUNCES KANSANS FOR MCCAIN
ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced Kansans for McCain. Kansans for McCain will lead the growing grassroots organization on behalf of John McCain's candidacy in Kansas.
"John McCain has the character, values, and experience to lead America starting on day one of his presidency," said U.S. Senator Sam Brownback, who will co-chair the committee. "I am proud to join the many Kansans who stand behind John McCain and will continue working hard to send him to the White House."
Republican National Committeeman Stephen Cloud added, "John McCain understands that a president's first obligation is the security of the American people. He served our nation in the U.S. Navy. He's been involved in every major foreign policy issue for more than twenty years, and he has the guts, wisdom, and integrity to lead our country in the midst of great challenges. I am confident that John McCain is the candidate best prepared to serve as commander in chief from day one."
