“Tom McClintock is one of the most honest, low-key, ethical, knowledgeable legislators that I've ever met. He's probably the most trustworthy, sincere, dedicated public servant I've had the pleasure to deal with. Tom has consistently supported veterans and the military during his time in office. You just can't gain that legislative experience without having done it.” Jim Mesnier, Retired 1st Lieutenant Army

“We can trust Tom McClintock to make the right decisions for our military when he is in Congress. Tom is a true patriot who knows the issues. His long history of support and standing with our troops and veterans is well-documented.” Jim Bopp, retired Army infantry Lt. Colonel.

“Tom McClintock is a true patriot; he supported reinforcing our troops in when others, including his opponent, wanted to cut and run. He has a stellar record on veterans affair and is a co-author of Proposition 12 which will provide home loans to veterans.” Tom Dwelle, retired Air Force Lt. Colonel

"I’ve known Tom for many years. I’m most impressed with his grasp of our country’s founding principles of freedom and personal responsibility, and being able to apply those principles today to restore our nation. "I’ve been really upset with Charlie Brown’s behavior; I’m the third generation of my family to be in the military. The sacrifices our family has made have just been cheapened by his behavior, which is very upsetting to me. The hanging of that soldier in effigy was just disgusting. I put myself in the shoes of military people serving now, and it’s got to have a negative impact on morale. We need everyone to pull together on this threat we have of terrorism.” Tim Buescher, Retired Navy Commander, Gulf War veteran

“I've always found that Tom McClintock has always given the support to get the job done. And being a vet, being one of many in my family that served in the military... My dad served in WW II, my brother did two tours in Vietnam, I've served 22 years in the Air Force, my son just got out of the Marine Corp, served four years, did two tours in Iraq, so it's very important for me to find a leader that will support the freedoms that we enjoy and the military provides. "I feel it is very important to get to know the candidate you support, so I did the research and found that Tom is a man of integrity and character, he has proven over and over that he supports the military. He is a man above reproach when it comes to that, how he serves this country, how he serves the military. I am a huge supporter of Tom McClintock.” Scott Peters, retired Air Force Master Sergeant

"He's fundraising for his campaign on the hardships of veterans. He gets ninety-five cents, they get a nickel. If someone wants to help veterans, they can send the whole dollar to help vets. Charlie is skimming off the top. He's trying to look patriotic, but it looks the opposite to me." Richard Lewis, Army Ranger, Vietnam veteran

“Tom McClintock is exactly the government watchdog we need in Congress. Tom will make sure that our tax dollars are spent funding our national defense, supporting our troops in on the front line and insuring that our veterans in this and prior wars are still an American priority.” William Hegland, Major General United States Air Force, retired

“Every dollar that the government wastes is a dollar less we can spend to help the families of the men and women overseas, and those wounded in combat. As a Marine who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, we need Tom McClintock in Congress to fight the Democrats’ message of ‘cut and run.’” Duncan D. Hunter, Captain United States Marine Corps (R)
