Cleve Tidwell is a former Marine and highly successful businessman seeking the Republican nomination to the United States Senate.

Many pundits and certainly a good number of Republicans believe the race for the Republican nomination for United States Senate is over with Jane Norton taking the seat.  However with more than a month until caucuses, that is not the case and Cleve Tidwell has secured an important endorsement from the Independence Caucus. 

Certainly it goes without saying that Coloradoans are looking for a stark change from that which arrived one year ago.  The time has come for independent thinkers and men and women who will represent their constituents’ best interests.  The people need to stand together and say enough is enough – even if it means taking a stand against their own party. 

This endorsement of Tidwell speaks volumes to the movement afoot in the nation to shy away from those handpicked candidates that were chosen by a select few.  The people are supposed to make the choice and maybe it is time to remind some folks of that.

Below is a copy of the press release from the Independence Caucus announcing their endorsement.  It is worth noting when you make your selections in March.

Independence Caucus Endorses Cleve Tidwell of Colorado for United States Senate 

Colorado (January 21, 2010) – The Independence Caucus is proud to announce their support for Colorado’s Senatorial candidate, Cleve Tidwell. 

The Independence Caucus carefully chooses candidates based on an extensive vetting process, and after running the gambit, Tidwell can now count himself as a member of the Independence Caucus family. 

Tidwell differentiates himself from his rivals for the senatorial nomination by stressing his support for fiscal responsibility and ensuring the rule of law. “I want to make it very clear that I feel government has overstepped its duties according to our constitution. We need government out of our life.” says Tidwell. These points alone align Tidwell with the foundation principles of the Independence Caucus; however his platform extends well beyond these two elements and embrace aspects such as fair taxation and unprecedented openness. 

“We here at the Independence Caucus have high hopes for Cleve Tidwell. He is a wonderful candidate and in this era of greed, corruption and closed doors in Washington, Cleve Tidwell stands to bring a welcome change in representing Colorado in the U.S. Senate” noted Jim Buske, Independence Caucus Region 17 Representative.

About Independence Caucus 

The Independence Caucus was started by volunteers who came together while working to elect Jason Chaffetz to Congress in 2008., Fed up with unsustainable spending in Washington, and total disregard for Constitutional limits on government authority, Independence Caucus founders realized that incumbents from both parties have been compromised by the “Big Money” special interest groups who fund their perpetual re-election campaigns, and have embarked on a mission to sniff out and expose the incumbents political money trails, and train others across the country exactly how to boot compromised politicians out of office and replace them with ones who will actually represent and listen to their constituents. 

The organization has hundreds of researchers and volunteers across the country working to put America back on track.
