Huckabee: “Mike Cox is standing up to the liberals in Washington, leading the fight against ObamaCare and taxpayer funded abortions”

LIVONIA, MI— The Mike Cox 2010 Campaign today released a new radio advertisement featuring Mike Huckabee.  One of America’s most respected conservative leaders and a former Presidential candidate, Huckabee recently endorsed Mike Cox in the 2010 race for Governor.

“When our conservative values have been threatened, Mike Cox has always had the courage to fight back,” Huckabee says on the radio spot.  “As Michigan’s pro-life Attorney General, Mike Cox has consistently defended the unborn, and that’s why Mike Cox is the only candidate for governor endorsed by Right to Life of Michigan.

“Now Mike Cox is standing up to the liberals in Washington, leading the fight against ObamaCare and taxpayer funded abortions.  That’s why I’m proudly endorsing Mike Cox for Governor.”

Michigan’s pro-life Attorney General, Cox has consistently defended the unborn.  In 2007 Cox went all the way to the United States Supreme Court to defend Michigan’s law prohibiting partial birth abortion and earlier this year led the legal challenge to overturn ObamaCare, an unconstitutional federal government health care takeover that permits taxpayer funding for abortions.

“Mike Huckabee is one of our nation’s most respected leaders,” said Cox. “Mike Huckabee is fighting for life, more liberty and less government. I am proud to have his support and am honored he is standing beside me as we fight to protect the unborn and to bring jobs back to Michigan.”

Mike Cox is the only candidate for governor endorsed by Right to Life of Michigan, the Michigan Chamber of Commerce and Gun Owners of America.

“The years ahead will bring us new opportunities to defend the civil rights of the unborn, handicapped and elderly frail,” Right to Life President Barb Listing and PAC Chairman Paul Miller said recently when endorsing Cox.  “Mike Cox’s support and leadership will be absolutely essential in restoring the basic right to life to the most helpless members of our human family.”
