			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ed Martin welcomes 2nd Amendment Champion Rich Heller to the new 2nd District of Missouri for a 2nd Amendment Celebration Tour, Friday October 7th and Saturday, October 8th.</p>
<p>Rich Heller is the plaintiff in the landmark 2nd Amendment Case Heller versus District of Columbia.  The Supreme Court decision ended the controversy over whether the right to keep and bear arms was an individual right or a “collective” one.  The court affirmed that indeed we each have an individual right to keep and bear arms, striking down onerous regulations preventing law-abiding citizens from owning firearms.</p>
<p>Meet with Rich Heller and Ed Martin as they tour gun shops and ranges in the St. Louis area.  Q&amp;A, photographs, and hot dogs will be available at most venues. There is a special fundraising event as well.  See the list below for details.<span id="more-4437"></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Special Fundraiser at Top Gun Shooting Sports<br />
 Visit with Ed Martin and Rich Heller. Q&amp;A, Photos – Pizza and Drinks – Range Time<br />
 Bring your favorite pistol and Rich Heller will fire a round into a commemorative target, suitable for framing</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>While Big Government Sleeps, &#8220;Ed Works&#8221; to Help Local Small Business at 3:30AM!</strong></h2>
<p><strong>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="size-medium wp-image-4270 alignleft" title="FB_EdWorks_McArthurs" src="http://edmartinforcongress.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/FB_EdWorks_McArthurs-300x300.png" alt="" width="210" height="210" /></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: normal;"><strong>(St. Louis) – September 13, 2011 &#8211; </strong>This morning at 3:30AM, Ed Martin pulled into the parking lot at McArthur&#8217;s Bakery in South County on Lemay Ferry Road.  As soon as Ed walked through the door, Randy McArthur was in the kitchen ready to put Ed to work and show him the affect big government has on his cost of doing business.  Randy McArthur and his brother David were early opponents of the &#8220;Cap and Trade&#8221; agenda as energy costs are a big part of their budget. </span></p>
<p>
&#8220;The way Ed campaigns is a precursor to how he will spend his time in office.  While some candidates and elected officials spend their time with &#8220;country club&#8221; folks and party insiders, Ed is readily accessible to voters and is now working with them side by side to better understand what they are going through,&#8221; said Rush James, Communications Director for Martin.   </p>
<p>&#8220;When they come, call&#8221; has been a common theme for Ed&#8217;s Campaign as he intends to be a barrier between government bureaucrats and local small businesses.  Ed is currently in route to his the second shift of the day at McArthur&#8217;s Bakery in Chesterfield located at 13700 Olive Boulevard.  Ed will be available to the press at 1PM following his shift at the Chesterfield McArthur&#8217;s.</p>

<p>The Missouri chapter of the free market grassroots group Americans for Prosperity (AFP) will join a huge coalition of conservative and tea party organizations in a nationwide effort to visit U.S. House Members’ district offices.  The grassroots message this coalition will carry is that representatives must support a balanced budget amendment to U.S. Constitution that has spending caps and a requirement for a supermajority vote to raise taxes. <a href="http://edmartinforcongress.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3096f9f3497e58f2da967c33d&amp;id=1c0d7188cf&amp;e=e60d7ef8af" target="_blank">Click here for a one page document you can print off and bring with you. </a> Sincerely, Patrick Werner</p>

The administration refuses to develop American energy sources…American energy sources that could help gas prices, electricity prices, and food prices come down.</p>
<ul>
<li>What: AFP Foundation&#8217;s Running On Empty TourWhere: 3005 HWY K O’Fallon, MO (Across from Chevy&#8217;s)</li>
<li>When: Saturday, June 11th 10:00 AM &#8211; 12:00 PM</li>
<li>Why: To learn what executive actions the Administration can take to bring down fuel costs and bring stability to the market and send them your gas bill!</li>
</ul>
<p>The event will include local and national speakers, food, and a chance to send President Obama your gas bill! We need you to help send the message that it is critical America develop energy sources that will help gas prices, electricity prices, and food prices come down.</p>
<p>Americans are running on empty and the administration needs to hear how regulations and restriction to domestic resources are affecting working families who rely on affordable energy to commute to work, go to school activities and shop for family groceries.</p>
