Are Tom Schweich’s Song Writing Chops as Bogus as Conservative Credentials?

On March 29, 2010, a video, “Gimme Back my Freedom”, was posted on YouTube. The video showcased Tom Schweich and a small group of young adults attempting to woo conservatives with targeted lyrics. At the end of the video credit for the lyrics and music was given to Tom Schweich and he personally claimed the copyright in the video.

On April 7, 2010, Fired Up! found that the music was significantly like the song “Bohemian Like You”, which was written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor, the lead singer of Dandy Warhols. Schweich later responded to the accusations through the Saint Louis Beacon, denying them and saying, “The words and music are my own.”

He continues, “And no matter what office it is, I’m sure the people of Missouri want their watchdog to be principled, and to share the same values they do. That is why Allen Icet is the man for the job and why I’m proud to support him in his campaign.”

“I met Joe the Plumber at last year’s Fair Tax rally in Columbia, MO. He’s a down to earth, principled, no nonsense type of guy, “explains Representative Shane Schoeller. Representative Schoeller has endorsed Icet along with all the Republican Representatives of Greene County. “It’s the values I saw Allen exhibit that led me to endorse him and I look forward to supporting Allen in his campaign and seeing him and Joe the Plumber at the Springfield Rally. Allen has done so much for Missouri as he’s watched over our budget the past five years and I know he’ll continue to do so when he becomes our next Auditor.”

Dr. William Scott Magill, president of the Missouri Republican Assembly added, “Representative Icet is a statesman who at his core recognizes the importance of guarding the misuse of the people’s resources. He understands that government serves the people and not vice-versa, will serve unencumbered by special interest to rout out waste and fraud, and protect the taxpayers’ as their guardian.”

The rally will take place at 6:30 PM on Thursday, May 20, 2010 at the Ramada Oasis Inn in Springfield. Tickets for the event will be $10.00, children are free.

March 1, 2010: Allen Icet’s campaign for Missouri Auditor gained serious momentum in a record-setting Statewide Lincoln Days this weekend in St. Louis. Icet, the only conservative in the Republican primary for Missouri auditor, dominated a straw-poll of Republican stalwarts conducted at statewide Lincoln Days by Survey Missouri, LLC, an independent pollster. Icet took nearly 90 percent of the votes in the straw poll, beating primary opponent Tom Schweich 87.31 percent to 12.69 percent.

Icet also earned the endorsement of the Missouri Republican Assembly. The MRA is a broad-based coalition of Reagan conservatives dedicated to tax cuts, tax reform, the right to bear arms, pro-life values, and the advancement of traditional Republican values. They support Republican candidates most likely to uphold conservative principles.

St. Louis Police Officers Endorse Icet for Auditor

Friday, February 5th, 2010

PRESS RELEASE

February 4^th, 2010

St. Louis, MO The St. Louis Police Association endorsed Rep. Allen Icet’s campaign for Missouri State Auditor Tuesday.

President Thomas Walsh said the group endorsed Icet for his commitment to public safety and to protecting Missouri taxpayers. “Our organization voted at their last meeting to endorse you because we appreciate the support you have given us over the years. Your support has ensured the rights of our police officers,” said Walsh. “The St. Louis Police Officers’ Association specifically and Law Enforcement in general thank you for the commitment you have bestowed upon the police community in the state legislature.”

Icet thanked the members of the Police Officers’ Association for their work. “I’m thrilled to receive this endorsement from yet another group of civic-minded Missourians,” said Icet. “Police officers put their lives on the line every day to keep our streets safe.”

“As state auditor,” Icet continued, “I won’t face the same danger that these officers brave every day. But I will serve with the same sense of public purpose to protect Missouri taxpayers from waste, fraud, and abuse.”

Icet is the only candidate in the race for Auditor with actual experience protecting Missouri taxpayers. He has served on the Missouri House Budget Committee for seven years, including five as budget chairman. Thanks to Icet, Missouri’s budget is in much better shape than the budgets of other states at the present time. Without Allen’s leadership on the House Budget Committee, Missouri taxpayers would likely be facing an insurmountable budget deficit.
