From: Joe Wilson

My son really did not want me to send this e-mail.

But sometimes, a father just has to brag a little, even if it’s on the computer!

My oldest son, Alan, is running for South Carolina’s Attorney General.

Alan is a proven prosecutor who has the defended the Constitution in the courtroom and fought for it on the battlefields of Iraq.

We have seen firsthand what an impact South Carolina’s Attorney General can have on the federal government.

In an era when the Constitution is constantly under attack from liberals in Washington, we need strong Attorneys General all across the country who will fight tooth and nail to defend the Constitution from these attacks.

You and your family deserve a chief law enforcement officer who has a record of putting away criminals and keeping our streets safe. Alan has done just that, his opponent has never prosecuted a criminal in his life.

I know Alan Wilson better than anyone. Alan has the experience and record necessary to protect the Constitution and protect South Carolina families.

Alan is kicking off his “Defending the Constitution Tour” as he heads into the June 22nd Runoff Election. Please consider helping him out by donating $100, $50 or even $17.76 to support this cause and most of all to ensure we have an Attorney General who will support and defend the Constitution.

Sincerely,
Joe Wilson

BOLCHOZ CHALLENGES LORD TO TELL THE TRUTH

Former Attorney General Candidate Sheds Light on Negative Attacks

COLUMBIA – Former Republican candidate for Attorney General Robert Bolchoz issued the following response to Lord’s recent criticism of Bolchoz.

“I am disappointed (yet not surprised given the state of his campaign and his history of negative tactics) that Leighton Lord decided to mischaracterize my experience and background in a press release he issued yesterday.

His statement is particularly disturbing given that on Thursday afternoon, June 10, 2010, Lord kept me on the phone for almost an hour while he pled for my endorsement and made personal attacks on the last qualified candidate in the race, Alan Wilson.

I will not stand idly by as Leighton Lord plays games with the system, misstates the facts, denigrates my career in public service, and attempts to buy his way into an elective office for which he is not qualified.

Like every citizen in South Carolina, I deserve an Attorney General who is committed to the high calling of public service and dedicated to the goal of keeping the public safe from criminals.  Voters should be wary of a big shot boardroom lawyer seeking to build a resume for the next office he seeks.

I endorsed Alan Wilson after spending months on the campaign trail with him and Lord.  I have spoken to both of them at length and spent days considering my decision.

I have come to the inescapable conclusion, which is reinforced with each passing day, that Alan shares my principles and convictions regarding the issues that matter.  He has lived a life of dedicated public service. Most importantly, he is a prosecutor who knows how to send criminals to prison.

I believe Alan Wilson is the best choice for South Carolina Attorney General.”

Former Candidate Says “Alan Wilson Has the Right Experience to be Attorney General”

(COLUMBIA, SC – Monday, June 14, 2010)  Former candidate for Attorney General Robert Bolchoz joined former South Carolina Attorney General Charlie Condon in endorsing Alan Wilson at news conferences today in Mt. Pleasant, Columbia and Greenville.

Last Tuesday, nearly two thirds of South Carolina Republican Primary voters sent a statement that our next Attorney General needs to be a proven prosecutor.

Bolchoz, a former Chief Deputy Attorney General and Deputy Solicitor and Assistant Solicitor, agrees, saying, “I got to know Alan Wilson on the campaign trail. He’s a man of integrity, character and a proven leader. From the courtroom to the battlefield, he has proved he has what it takes to be Attorney General. I am proud to endorse Alan Wilson for Attorney General because he has the prosecutorial experience South Carolinians need.”

Wilson is now the only candidate for Attorney General with prosecution experience.

“Robert Bolchoz is the real deal,” Wilson said. “He was a great competitor and has become a good friend. The only thing better than seeing Robert and his family on the campaign trail is having them on my team. Robert is a proven prosecutor who shares the same values in faith, family, and freedom that I do. Receiving Robert Bolchoz’s endorsement is a tremendous honor and I am proud to have both Robert and Charlie on my team.”

“Alan Wilson is the only prosecutor now running to be South Carolina’s Chief Prosecutor, “Bolchoz added. “Alan and I agree our next Attorney General needs proven prosecution experience and so do an overwhelming majority of Sheriffs and more than 60 current or former prosecutors who are backing Alan Wilson. We support Alan because he has the real experience working with law enforcement to put criminal behind bars and keep our families and streets safe.”

Former Attorney General Charlie Condon also gave his backing to Wilson. “I’ve been a  Solicitor, an Attorney General, and a Managing Partner of a law firm,” Condon said. “I can tell you first hand our next Attorney General must be a proven prosecutor.  That proven prosecutor is Alan Wilson. Alan has an impressive resume and will make us proud as Attorney General.”

“I have seen Alan Wilson fight crime first hand and I know he will make an outstanding Attorney General. That is why I urge all South Carolinians to join me in supporting Alan Wilson for Attorney General,” continued Condon.

Bolchoz and Condon were joined at the news conferences by United States Representative Joe Wilson, who is the father of their choice for Attorney General.

“It is an honor to have the support of Charlie Condon. I have greatly admired his work as both a Solicitor and as Attorney General and hope to follow his lead when it comes to keeping our families safe,” Wilson said.

Alan Wilson is a proven prosecutor and an Iraq War combat veteran. He is a former Assistant Solicitor and a former Assistant Attorney General.  Wilson and his wife Jennifer have two young children, Michael and Anna Grace.  They live in Lexington.

Once again, I need your help. Will you participate in our Ten, Ten & Ten effort?

2)      Call or email 10 of your friends and ask them to donate $10 to Alan Wilson for Attorney General.  $100 goes even further and will help me even the financial playing field.

3)      Tell me about 10 friends that will volunteer at campaign headquarters and help me get the word out.  For every volunteer that makes phone calls, delivers yard signs or waves a sign – I get closer to winning on June 22^nd.  You can email names and contact information to info@wilsonforag.com.

As the only prosecutor running to be South Carolina’s chief prosecutor, I feel I bring the right experience coupled with being the only candidate with real crime fighting experience.
