Interview with Senator Jim DeMint

After serving 3 terms as the representative of South Carolina's 4th District, Jim DeMint, in 2005, was elected to the Senate, where he has been a tireless advocate for smaller government, individual liberty, a strong national defense and traditional values. Respected nationally as a leader of the conservative movement, he was recently ranked as the Senate’s most conservative member by National Journal and as the No. 1 senator voting for responsible tax and spending policies by the National Taxpayers Union. His Senate Conservative Fund has been key in the successes of such candidates as Sharron Angle of Nevada, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Marco Rubio of Florida, Ken Buck of Colorado, and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania. He is also the author of Saving Freedom: We Can Stop America's Slide into Socialism.
