JOE WILSON has a strong record fighting for taxpayers and against wasteful spending.  He believes in limited government and expanded freedom. He is a regular Joe and is proud to drive a pick-up truck with a dented front bumper and nearly 200,000 miles on it.  Joe cherishes his South Carolina roots and his Hometown Cookouts

Today Joe visited Sign It Quick in Columbia to do some last minute work to get ready for the campaign bus tour which begins next week.

Before getting down to work Joe talked with workers about his plans to help the economy and create more jobs. Joe mentioned his belief that cutting taxes for individuals and businesses is the first step to help put more people back to work.

Joe also mentioned the government healthcare takeover, which could cost up to 1.6 million jobs according to a recent National Federation of Independent Business study. Joe proposes repealing Obamacare and replacing it with a free-market system that still covers pre-existing conditions while allowing patients to buy insurance across state lines and gives small businesses greater buying power.

We’ll put up a list of all the locations the Joe Means Jobs express will visit. For now, here are some photos of Joe in action.

Thanks to Stan Wetherell and his crew at Sign It Quick for the help and the spiffy logos!
