*
Via Facebook, Sarah Palin has endorsed Stephen Broden, pastor of Fair Park Baptist Church, in his race for the U.S. House of Representatives:

Lone Star State Shines with Stephen Broden in Texas’ 30th Congressional District

It’s an honor to support Stephen Broden to represent Texas’ 30th Congressional District. As a teacher and pastor he has made it his life’s work to support the good people of the Fair Park and South Dallas areas in the beautiful Lone Star State. His community leadership helped provide better economic and educational opportunities by supporting private sector efforts to empower the people there. Through his Fair Park Friendship Center, Pastor Broden has provided practical help to those in need, proving that private charities can do much more than government can. As a Commonsense Constitutional Conservative, he is committed to getting our country back to the founding principles of limited government and fiscal responsibility.

Please visit Pastor Broden’s website: www.brodenforcongress.com and follow him on Facebook and Twitter.

Broden's opponent is incumbent Democrat Eddie Bernice Johnson of Dallas. The Dallas Morning News revealed earlier this month that the Congresswoman awarded at least 23 Congressional Black Caucus Foundation scholarships to her relatives and the children of a top staffer – in violation of the foundation's nepotism and residency rules. Rep. Johnson also apparently asked the Foundation to send scholarship checks directly to her two grandsons and two great-nephews, rather than to their colleges.
