"I know I have told people that I'm voting for Tom Hoefling for Governor of Iowa but what I haven't done yet is endorse him. Lo and behold, the time has come. Iowa has the highest corporate tax rate in the country. We have a current Republican Governor that believes in Common Core and special tax breaks for large companies of his choosing. I could go on and on in reality. Or, I have a better solution. Let's elect a Governor who can and is willing to fix almost everything wrong with our state!

Therefore, I am officially endorsing Tom Hoefling in his bid for Governor of the state of Iowa. I STRONGLY urge you to do the same if your values even closely resemble mine. I know Tom. He is a man of moral character nothing like exists in politics. I trust Tom without a doubt in my mind that he will do the right things. I believe God will bless Tom and our State if we elect him! I'm asking you to vote TOM HOEFLING for Iowa Governor. Please! For our kids and grand kids!!!"

Contact; Ken Crow (832) 377-6807

Candidate for Iowa Governor, Tom Hoefling picked up a key endorsement on Monday April 14th from the Internet Tea Party Social Community giant known as Tea Party Community.com. The social community comprised of mostly conservative Republicans and Tea Party faithful came out in full force behind the conservative candidate Hoefling. Tea Party Community has membership numbering into the six digits and are very active in working to get conservatives elected at all levels of government.

When asked “why” Tea Party Community was endorsing Hoefling; Ken Crow (Co-Founder) stated categorically that Mr. Hoefling espouses and promotes true conservatism at all levels. Crow went on to state that Iowa is in desperate need of a principled conservative leader that doesn’t just “talk” the talk about reining in government but will actually do it.

Crow concluded his endorsement of Hoefling for Governor by saying; it is time that we in Iowa elect a truly honorable and principled leader. Tom Hoefling is that man and I am so very honored to endorse this great leader that doesn’t make excuses but actually fulfills his commitments.

"Tom Hoefling is the most unequivocally principled candidate in this year's political field. When he takes the oath to uphold the Constitution, you know he will unreservedly keep his word. He has taught me a lot about what it means to be a principled American patriot and I believe he will make a fine governor."

-- William Fithian, Shelbyville, Tennessee

"I want to take this opportunity to formally endorse Tom Hoefling for Governor of Iowa. I do not know Tom personally, having only met him via phone on the America's Summit calls over the last couple of years, but I do hope to meet him in person one day. However, I know from experience that Tom is of high moral character and committed to America's Principles, which is evident by the "fruits" that he bears. In closing, I consider Tom Hoefling as the "REAL" National Leader of the Republican Party."

-- Frranklin Ed Shoemaker, FL House Candidate, Lakeland, Florida

"I truly believe that it's time for a true conservative like Tom Hoefling to be Governor of Iowa. Branstad has had the reins for long enough."

-- Gail Rinderknecht, Newton, Iowa

"I am proud to endorse Tom Hoefling for Governor. I know that he will listen to the voices of all Iowans and is dedicated to leading the restoration of our state government to its founding principles.  Over several decades, Tom Hoefling has demonstrated the kind of consistent, principled, visionary leadership that can help make this state a great place to live, raise a family, and prosper. I truly believe that Tom will make a fine governor and I ask you to join me in supporting him!"

-- State Representative Tom Shaw, Laurens, Iowa

"Through conference calls and conversations, I have noticed that Tom Hoefling does not try to 'read the public', as he is the public. He does not try to be like the people, as he actually is like them. He has a sense of what Americans are thinking because he is thinking it too. That gift is the gift of unity with the public he leads. He has been vocal and stirred public passions. Tom resonates with the people! Blessings to Tom Hoefling and his campaign in 2014!"

-- Nancy Gleason-Bruce, Iowa

"Tom Hoefling brings a refreshing honesty, integrity and capability to the campaign trail for governor in Iowa. Tom displays a willingness to work with the people to make Iowa a better place to live. Iowa is in dire need of an honest governor with fresh ideas and new intelligence."

-- Linda Downs, Ottumwa, Iowa

"I am happy to support Tom Hoefling for Governor of Iowa. It's so refreshing to see a true conservative running for governor of this great state. i will pray for Tom and his campaign."

-- Jackie Williams, Farley, Iowa

"Tom comes out strong at the beginning. He is who he is. He doesn't test the waters first to see what works on the people."

-- Tammy Rhoden, Sioux City, Iowa

"I worked with Tom on the Keyes 2000 campaign. He is a man of great integrity, with gritty determination, who loves our Country and our Constitution. He will, no doubt, serve the great state of Iowa and its constituents with all his heart. A vote for Tom is a vote for common sense principles and family values; a vote for the people, not for 'politics'."

-- Tom Frederick, Saline, Michigan

"I fully support Tom for Governor of Iowa. I know that he will do what it takes to improve Education in Iowa. For now, even the Republicans refuse to do what it will take to improve the education system of Iowa. They say they do, but all they are doing is pulling your leg. I think that Tom will do what is required. Remove the lies and hate from the school books and put the truth back in. The Republicans say that other states teach these same lies and hate so we should also."

-- William Sankey, Pomeroy, Iowa

"As the Director of the Abolitionist Society of Colorado Springs, I , without hesitation and with a heart of gratitude toward my Brother-in-Christ and fellow Abolitionist Thomas Hoefling, fully endorse him to the high magisterial office of Governor of the State of Iowa. He was worthy of my vote for President Of The United States last year, so he is definitely worthy of my endorsement for Governor. I wish Him Godspeed."

--Jeffery Fish, Colorado Springs, Colorado

"Tom is a man of principle and a true conservative. He will stand up for the rights of the people and protect the life of the unborn from conception till death. He will protect the family. His leadership is what is needed in America today to turn our nation on the path to revival and righteousness. He will dutifully hold to his oath and not compromise. The state of Iowa should be honored to have him as governor."

-- Widmark Alexandre, North Lauderdale, Florida

"Note from a Buckeye to a Hawkeye:

Even though I’m a couple of states away, I still consider you all as 'neighbors.'

My association with Tom Hoefling over the years is one I greatly value. I’ve gained much from our countless hours discussing the value of principled, constitutional self-government and the best way to exercise a dependence on God’s help in affecting its restoration locally as well as nationally. In my opinion, Tom is the best answer to the question of 'After Branstad, what?'

Tom’s approach to executive leadership would be from a solid conservative base, reflecting a Godly worldview and a deep knowledge of, and respect for, the foundational principles that resulted in America becoming the most secure, prosperous, and envied nation on earth.

Tom’s appeal is to folks who are ill-represented by current politicians and the media elite who support an agenda detrimental to the security and general welfare of God-fearing, Liberty-loving Iowans. Things like: open borders at the expense of national security; 'gay' rights at the expense of freedom of speech and association; redefining marriage to the detriment of the natural family; socialized health care and other programs that jeopardize the rights of private property and individual liberty, and most importantly, the destruction of innocent human life for the sake of political expediency.

Of course, someone who shares these views with the majority of the Republican base is not likely to expect the support of the current Republican leadership.

But that’s where you come in.

If you’ve had enough of unaccountable leaders whose priorities differ (in some cases oppose) those of the constituencies they have been elected to serve, you’re going to have to do something different. Expecting the media establishment to act in your best interests won’t cut it. Returning control of government to the governed will require your active participation in behalf of your neighbors.

The only question is: are they worth it?

I believe a Tom Hoefling governorship would be the best thing for the future of Iowa.

Yours Truly,"

-- Hobart M. Smith, Oxford, Ohio

"I grew up in Iowa, spent much of my life there, and still have ties to the Hawkeye State. I have known Tom Hoefling for more than five years and have worked with him in political activism. It is rare in politics to find someone as dedicated as Tom is to the state motto, 'Our liberties we prize, and our rights we will maintain', inscribed in white letters on the Iowa flag. For Tom, liberties and rights are not just buzzwords to get votes but principles to which he is deeply committed. He understands that our liberties and rights come not from men or government or a constitution but from God. Tom meets the guidelines that the Holy Bible gives in Exodus 18:21 for leadership in civil government: able, God-fearing, trustworthy, and hating bribes. The preamble of the Constitution of the State of Iowa begins, "WE THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF IOWA, grateful to the Supreme Being for the blessings hitherto enjoyed, and feeling our dependence on Him for a continuation of those blessings..." I endorse Tom Hoefling for governor, and I urge Iowa voters to read his Iowa Leadership and Accountability Project Principles, choose life and blessings, and vote for Tom Hoefling."

-- Harlan Brown, Durham, North Carolina

I have known Tom Hoefling since 2006. I have met very few men that has as much integrity, honesty and willingness to serve his fellow man as he has shown for all these years. His love of country is unprecedented, only by his willingness to fight for the posterity of our country. He works countless hours teaching and helping others to understand the principles set for by the founding fathers of this great nation, his understanding of the Constitution is admirable. My only regret is that I do not live in Iowa. I endorse Tom Hoefling for Governor of Iowa without the least bit of doubt; he will be a statesman not a politician and certainly not a yes man. Tom will serve Iowa well as your next governor.

-- Geketa Holman, Owenton, Kentucky

"Having known and worked with Tom Hoefling for several years now, I cannot think of a more principled or qualified leader to fill the Iowa governor's seat. With his moral compass pointed true North, his nonpareil understanding of America's first principles and his unwavering political courage, Tom has both enriched me as a teacher and inspired me as a citizen activist in ways that I could never have imagined - or adequately repay. Iowans should be greatly encouraged by the candidacy of Tom Hoefling. Hooray!"

-- Greg Sabine, Brockton, Massachusetts

"For those who understand that government was instituted by God, and must function according to His plans and purposes if it is to prosper, there is no other choice but Tom Hoefling for Governor of Iowa. He understands that it was our founding on Biblical principles that made America the greatest nation the world has ever seen, and that our departure from God is the greatest problem facing America (and Iowa) today. He's a true moral conservative, and gets it right on every issue--he's no one-issue candidate. But he does know how to put first things first, and will work above all to end abortion, because he knows that every other right is meaningless as long as the right to even exist is being routinely violated. If he stands so strong for the rights of the weakest and most helpless among us, you can be assured that he will stand for your rights, too."

-- J.D. Ellis, Savannah, Tennessee

"My name is Preston Dunn, Jr. As Executive Director with Personhood Arkansas, I have received many emails the past few years from Tom expressing his views and commitments concerning life and values. I see Tom as one who would promote these values as part of a principled leadership philosophy and act for the people based on these values. Iowa is fortunate to have Tom Hoefling running for Governor. His willingness to participate in the process that is politics these days speaks much of his character and compassion for his state and the state of this nation. May God richly bless Tom, his family and his efforts going forward."

-- Preston Dunn, Jr., Executive Director, Personhood Arkansas

"Tom Hoefling is a "true believer" -- in God, in Jesus, in America, and in the principles that made America great. He has taken stands on key issues affecting this country, and he has "led from the front". When it became obvious that the "two-party system" was rusted beyond repair, Tom Hoefling did the foundational work to build America's Party from scratch. Five months later, we became the third-largest political party in the United States. (If you've never heard of us, just think of the term "media bias". Telling the public about our party would kill their goose and break their golden eggs.) For several years, I have participated with Tom on our twice-weekly national conference calls. I've spoken with him in numerous private phone calls. Tom Hoefling has remained consistently principled. He is a leader, and his leadership relies upon a solid grasp of historical facts, founding principles and sensible decisions. I endorse Tom Hoefling for governor, and I encourage you to support and publicize his campaign. Thank you for your attention."

-- Tom Kovach soldier, inventor, author, activist, actor, national chairman Veterans United to Save America (V-USA), Mount Juliet, TN

"Tom is a remarkably talented young man, who can accomplish more with the least resources of any man I know. He is highly principled and is more trustworthy than any man in politics I have ever known. He is a high energy worker and always follows through on everything he promises to do. If Tom says he will do somethng then believe it will be done. If we had a dozen men like Tom in our Government our Nation would be a more sane and accountable Power."

-- Marvin Sprouse, Fort Worth, Texas

"I hereby lend my personal endorsement to Tom Hoefling for Governor of the State of Iowa. Born in Des Moines, Iowa, I love my home-state. I have watched from afar, over many years, as poor decision after poor decision was made in the governance of her people. I firmly believe, by testimony of his devotion to Christ, his upright character, his unwavering advocacy for the complete abolition of abortion, his superior knowledge of our state and country's foundings and systems of governance, and his profound love for Iowa's citizenry and posterity, that Tom Hoefling is the excelling candidate for the state's highest office. In the preamble to our state's constitution we stated, "WE THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF IOWA, grateful to the Supreme Being for the blessings hitherto enjoyed, and feeling our dependence on Him for a continuation of those blessings, do ordain and establish a free and independent government...". If we expect His blessings to continue, we must act in accordance with His Word. It is my conviction that Tom Hoefling will carry out the duties of the office of Governor of the State of Iowa in just such a manner."

-- Thomas Hemminger, Tyler, Texas

"I've known and worked with Tom Hoefling for years, and he is a man of principle
who does not compromise on issues of right and wrong, such as life, marriage, family,
equal protection, and liberty.  He's a true grassroots conservative with a track record of
standing up to the establishment, and I heartily endorse him." 

-- Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt, PhD, The Pray In Jesus Name Project

"While I don't live in Iowa, I would be casting my vote for Tom Hoefling for Iowa governor in 2014. No doubt in my mind. I have known Tom for about 10 years and consider him to be one of the most principled men I have ever had the honor and pleasure of knowing. Tom understands why civil government exists and what its primary role is (to protect and defend God-given rights). If you are okay with RINO governors keep staying the course. If you are a pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-rule of law Christian/conservative, who wants a chief executive officer who will abide by his oath and enforce the law in strict accordance with the Declaration and Constitution, Tom Hoefling is your man."
