Not that I intended to, but I have become known as the guy who keeps our side in line.With that, I have arrived at the age where friends of mine decide to run for political office and want my endorsement. It is a very rare thing to get. Most of my friends running for office don&#8217;t rise to the level of a RedState caliber candidate.So I&#8217;m really glad to finally have one who does. My friend Chuck Efstration is running for Congress in the 7th Congressional District in Georgia. I&#8217;ve know Chuck for years. He&#8217;s not just a Republican, but he is solidly conservative.He&#8217;s not going to cave to leadership. He&#8217;s not going to fold. Chuck will stand up for conservatives. He&#8217;ll fight for what&#8217;s right, not for what&#8217;s easy.Chuck&#8217;s a young guy. The establishment has aligned against him in favor of the Republican who they feel has paid his dues and kissed the right rings.I&#8217;m not interested in that. I&#8217;m interested in freedom fighters. And Chuck will fight for freedom.If you can help him, please do. He needs it and he&#8217;ll be with us in Congress.]]>Tue, 29 Jun 2010 11:58:02 -0400<![CDATA[Erick Erickson]]>https://redstate.com/erick/2010/06/29/chuck-efstration-a-personal-favor-n35316
