Clark Durant is co-founder of Cornerstone Schools and is giving “Hope and Change” to those who need it most.

The inner city children, brought up in attendance in public schools, usually do not finish school and end up no better off, and often times, worse than their parents before them.  Cornerstone schools are exactly what is needed to give hope and promise to those less fortunate than others whose economic circumstances gave them a better chance in life.  Cornerstone boasts a 95% graduation rate.

This is the way to make life better for all…....not the social programs that cripple and teach the young to rely on government and others for their welfare.  It is time to make life great for all by giving them the self esteem, social skills, knowledge, and initiative, to pursue their own American Dream.  Recently the President remarked that no one made it on their own when starting a business or in pursuit of wealth.  He said that there was always someone who helped those who succeed, along the way.  He couldn’t have made a more untrue statement as the courage, fortitude and intelligence comes from within one’s own soul, it comes from the knowledge that you understand that your hard work, initiative and conviction, and belief in yourself gives you the necessary ingredients to succeed.  This school and the courage and fortitude of Clark Durant’s dream, gave many that opportunity, that would have otherwise, never have known their potential.

Clark Durant is a man who will teach others how to fish, not just give them the fish.  He is a man of integrity and great moral fortitude and is exactly the kind of man to send to our Senate, remove Debbie Stabenow, and send her home.  Clark Durant will bring back “hope” to all of us. 

Our country is in deep trouble and has been put on a road of no return.  We are quickly sliding into socialism and a very different life than our forefathers envisioned for us.  Our freedoms are being eroded as our constitution is ignored and bypassed. 

Clark Durant is a constitutional scholar, worked for Hillsdale College and helped to co-found the Imprimis.  We need this man whose values are that of most Americans who believe in this country, value morals, believe in ethical behavior, and find that our constitution has given us a wonderful nation, where we can all pursue our rights to our own life, our liberty and our happiness, and freely choose what we will eat, drink and where we will live.  We cannot take this election lightly.  It is time for all men and women who can legally vote to consider the consequences of that vote.  It is time to elect those to office who have the welfare of our country and our citizens as their first priority. 

Remember August 7th, take it very seriously and vote for those who only put this country first.  Clark Durant will vote with each and everyone of us in mind.
