United States Senator John McCain’s Presidential exploratory committee announced today that Marlys Popma has joined a growing group of Iowans who will work for the Arizona Republican if he decides to run for president in 2008.

Just one week after United States Senator John McCain announced the formation of his presidential exploratory committee, South Carolina Agriculture Commissioner Hugh Weathers joined a growing group of prominent South Carolinians who are encouraging the Arizona Republican to run for president in 2008.

We Americans stand for something in this world. We stand for a vision of human happiness and potential, of human freedom, based on limiting the powers of government and respecting the rule of law.

I am convinced that a majority of Americans still consider themselves conservatives or right of center. They still prefer common sense conservatism to the alternative. They want their government to operate as their families operate, on a realistic budget, with an eye on the future that spurns self-indulgence in the short term for the sake of lasting prosperity, that respects hard work and individual initiative, and that shows no favoritism to one group of Americans over another.
