\nArkansas Businessmen Release Statement Supporting Former Governor and
\nPresidential Candidate, Mike Huckabee<\/o:p><\/span><\/h2>\n

Columbia,
\nSC – Today, the following businessmen from Arkansas released a statement in
\nsupport of former Arkansas Governor, Mike Huckabee: Scott T. Ford, President
\nand CEO, Alltel Corporation; Warren A. Stephens, President and CEO, Stephens
\nInc.; Madison Murphy, Former Chairman, Murphy Oil Corporation; John Tyson,
\nChairman of the Board, Tyson Foods, Inc; and French Hill, Chairman and CEO,
\nDelta Trust and Banking Corporation: <\/p>\n

“We are a traditionally bi-partisan group of executives of several of the
\nlargest corporations headquartered in the State of Arkansas, each with
\nconsiderable exposure to the Administration of Governor Mike Huckabee. Of late,
\nGovernor Huckabee has attracted what we believe to be unwarranted criticism
\nregarding his business record.” <\/p>\n

“Our experience with Governor Huckabee indicates that he not only values
\ngreatly the freedoms of religion and liberty, but of the free market as well.
\nHe is an atypical leader who garnered the respect of not only the professional
\nbusiness community but of the working men and women across our State as
\nwell.” <\/p>\n

“When he became our Governor, he inherited our long sub-standard education
\nsystem, infrastructure, and regulatory climate. Under his leadership, we were
\nable to grow our businesses, increase our employment, reduce our litigation
\nexposure and enjoy, along with all of our fellow Arkansans, a healthier
\neconomy, improved schools, updated highways, and new healthcare delivery
\nfacilities.” <\/p>\n

“In our support of Governor Huckabee’s truly conservative, small
\ngovernment business outlook and his pragmatic, yet compassionate style of
\ngoverning, we invite you to look past the shallow rhetoric of yet another
\ncampaign season to see what we have experienced first hand – that with the
\nright political leadership in place, businesses and citizens can jointly
\nprosper and as they do, they contribute so much more to the economic and
\nsocietal fabric of a community than simply tax revenues.” <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
