"My wife and I met Pete a year ago. We have heard him speak and one thing that impressed me was months after we first met him he remembered our names. Also he doesn't just come up and shake your hand in a typical politician manner. He makes you feel like he cares about your support and he engages in conversations. Every time my wife and I go to meetings when he is there he acknowledges us by coming over to us and engages us. I find him a man of integrity and genuine concern for our country. I am enthusiastic about helping him unseat the so called "Blue Dog" Harman. I will do what I can to get him elected as well as my wife. He is not a politician. He is a Statesman and just what we need."

We are the most embarrassing of all... turning ourselves over to socialism, breeding the likes of the most selfish, arrogant politicians who have managed to push their way through the system and get in scary decision making positions. Hello? What about Amendment 28? You know, the one where everyone including the 545 at top of government food chain must follow the same laws and statutes? Doesn't our constitution mean anything anymore? Are we going to fight for our rights which have been violated from the top? Our state needs a breathe of fresh air - Support Pete!"

"I am endorsing Peter Kesterson for the Congressional seat in the 36th district for the following reasons...
Peter brings a fresh new face to the people of the district. He has honesty, integrity, and listens to the people. He wants to serve the people and make the government work the way it was designed to. I personally have stood alongside and with Pete at Tea Party rallies, and have been a part of organizations he is connected with. I find him to be the best candidate in this race and I feel very confident that Peter will not disappoint his supporters once he is elected. This man is a conservative and fiscally responsible individual. He believes in Glenn Becks 9-12 project and subcribes to them. What more could we ask of a Congressman. I hope that when he is elected that Pete and I can remain friends and colleagues."
- Arthur J Plourde
Torrance, CA

"It is said that we may have many acquaintances in our lives, but few true friends. A friend is simply defined as one who sees and knows your many faults, but ignores them to stand close and be supportive in all situations or circumstances. One who is committed to the so-called out-dated concept of living with integrity, not just in it for the limelight of being cited for responsibility, but willing to be held accountable, whether anyone else does or not. Pete Kesterson is just such a person, and would be just such a Congressman, never forgetting that the people he represents are more than voters, they are to be treated as his friends, of which I count myself privileged to be one."
