The Goldwater Institute does not politically or publically support any candidates currently in office or running for office-nor do they ever endorse any candidate. They are a state level conservative public policy think tank. I would like to see a direct quote or proof that the Goldwater Institute said anything such as this. The only thing I see mentioned on your page who is in any way connected with the Goldwater Institute is Ward Connerly and he was a speaker at one of the Goldwater Institute's speaker series. He is not an employee of the institute, nor has he ever been and anything he says is because its his point of view, not the Goldwater Institute.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
