George Allen's released the following comments about the election results:
“Tonight,
after a hard-fought contest, we have been reminded how closely divided
our state is politically. I am still glad we got off the sidelines and
into the fight in this pivotal election – advocating for the voices of
Virginians. I want to thank God for the love of my life, Susan, who
worked tirelessly throughout the Commonwealth to share our positive
message for America’s Comeback. And I thank God for our wonderful
children—Tyler, Forrest and Brooke. We have never worked harder to
motivate and inspire people for specific reforms to restore the American
Dream. And thank you to the thousands of energetic volunteers
throughout Virginia who gave their time, talents & treasure to
support our cause.
“We
sought to reinvigorate the entrepreneurial spirit of America, so we can
get our economy growing again – creating jobs with a competitive tax
system, reasonable regulations, productive energy policies and
empowering education. We offered a positive, pro-job growth, pro-Freedom
path to fiscal responsibility for our nation and a federal government
that lives within its means again. We called for keeping America’s Armed
Services strong because the way to preserve the peace is to preserve
our strength. And we called for unleashing the tremendous economic
potential of our plentiful American energy resources from our Coalfields
to the coast.
“Most
important of all, we called upon America to renew our historic
commitment to individual Freedom, personal responsibility and the
opportunity for every American to succeed.
People want government off our backs, out of our pockets and by our side.
“These
ideas did not prevail in this Senate contest here in Virginia, but if
America is to have the Comeback that we all hope for, they must prevail
in our nation as a whole. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next month,
maybe not next year — but they must prevail, because they are rooted in
the great historic fundamental principles of Virginia and America. And
these principles and ideas are our hope for the future.
“And
I pledge my best efforts as a private citizen to advocate the positive
ideals and principles we all believe in. My hope is that you will keep
the faith, keep working, and always stay strong for Freedom!”
