"This is one of the reasons I will accept only personal campaign contributions and <b>none from</b> unions, <b>PACs</b>, business groups, or even the Republican National Congressional Committee," said Mumpower. "I will serve independently, from a principled position that it is clear and up-front or I will not serve at all. <b>I will not be beholden to special interests or the Republican party structure.</b> I am not for sale."</blockquote> Oh, and he loves Ron Paul, too.
