My name is Alan Peppers; I am a life long resident of Ninety Six (Greenwood Co.) South Carolina. I am 50 years old and have been married since 1978. My wife and I have two grown children and two grandchildren. I spent over thirty years in the Textile Industry. I started sweeping the floors and with hard work, discipline and a drive to get things done, I worked my way into management.
I am not a Lawyer or someone schooled in Big Business. I have no money to speak of. I do not own a big house or drive a fancy car. I do not have important friends. The people that I know get up, go to work each morning, and struggle to provide a home and food for their family. I am Mr. Everybody. I am in the same position as you.
For over twenty years, I have given thought to running for pubic office. As I have watched both Political Parties take us down the road that we are now on, I wanted to step up and say, “No, this is not right for America.” The truth can be hard to say but by not knowing how to become involved in the political process, I was afraid to try.
Today the only fear that I have is the fear of not trying. Like a gunslinger in an old western stepping into the street to clean up a corrupt town I offer myself to you. I stand fearlessly on the beliefs and principles that this country was built on. These are principles that cannot be bought with lobbyist money or sold for a vote.
In my heart I am a Republican but I have to listen to my mind when it tells me “They have failed us too.” Our Constitution says that this is a country Of the People, By the People and For the People. This country should not be controlled by Political Parties.
I believe in the Founding Principles that shaped our Constitution.
I believe that a Limited Government serves Liberty best.
I believe in the Free Market, where we the people create business competition.
I believe that it is the right of each Individual to be in charge of their lives.
I believe that Illegal Immigration must be stopped before the American culture is lost.
As I said, I have no money or political backing. This is a completely grassroots campaign.There are no PR firms, no fundraising committees or special interest groups. There is only me, my family and you. You must decide for yourself what direction you want our country to go.
