“I'm running for the United States Senate because it's time for change. Senator Mitch McConnell is more than part of the problem. He is the problem,�? said Andrew Horne Louisville, KY – Lt. Colonel Andrew Horne (Ret.) launched his campaign today to take back the U. S. Senate seat for the people of Kentucky, now held by Mitch McConnell. Horne, while a Marine and Reservist, served tours of duty in Desert Storm and recently in Iraq. Horne outlined his decision to run and what he plans to focus on as Senator in a video released on the internet this morning. You can watch the video at www.AndrewHorne.org. The full text of it is available on the site, as well. “I’m running for U.S. Senate because it's time for a change and because Senator Mitch McConnell is more than part of the problem. He is THE problem. It is time for Kentuckians to take our government and country back. We should not be told to take a backseat to the wealthy and powerful. It's time to tackle the challenges facing our country instead of passing them off to our kids. It's time for leaders who'll take the right stand,�? Horne says in the video. “Mitch McConnell, the Republican Leader, symbolizes everything wrong with Washington. He bows to big business, practices the worst kind of politics, and doesn’t take a stand when faced with tough issues. Simply put: Mitch McConnell carries George Bush’s water on Iraq; I carried a rifle in Iraq�? he added. Horne noted that under the Bush-McConnell regime, Washington politicians have: • failed to fix our health care crisis;
• sent our jobs to China and Mexico;
• failed to lead on immigration reform;
• ran up a nine trillion dollar debt for our children, and
• led our country into an ill-conceived and mismanaged war in Iraq. Horne also noted yesterday that the Bush-McConnell obstructionism has continued to hinder progress, pointing to the latest example, the President’s veto of S-Chip fully supported by McConnell. In the coming weeks and months, Horne will lay out his proposals to benefit the people of the commonwealth.

Thank you for visiting my website. I’m a husband, father and lawyer. I also served our country for 27 years in the Marine Corps and never before considered holding public office. But after my second tour of duty in Iraq, I found the stakes are too high to sit on the sidelines, and so I ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2006. The Bush administration is not being fully honest with Americans about the situation in Iraq and the agenda at home; therefore it’s my duty to speak out when our safety and future are at risk. Furthermore, Republicans in Congress have given President Bush and corrupt “K Street�? lobbyists a blank check and rubber stamp for their selfish agenda. President Bush and Republican leaders have taken us down the wrong path. It's time to address the real challenges facing American families, such as health care, education and the economic and retirement security we all deserve. Here you’ll find more information about my work with VoteVets.org, my previous campaign and background. I look forward to working with you for a better future!
