Late last night Sarah Palin endorsed her latest "Mama Grizzly" - CeCe Heil, running in Tennessee's fifth Congressional district. Palin wrote:

As a small business owner, attorney, constitutional scholar, and proud mother of two, she will fight tirelessly to protect our freedoms and rein in the excesses of an out-of-control federal government that seems set on spending away our children's future. CeCe brings the business sense and the constitutional understanding that is so needed in DC right now. (And those of you who follow the music scene in Nashville will recognize the name of CeCe's husband, Rick Heil, from his band Sonicflood.)

Please join me in supporting CeCe Heil's campaign by visiting her website at www.ceceforcongress.com and following her on Facebook and Twitter.

Heil is one of a dozen Republican candidates battling it out in the party's primary, which will take place three weeks from today on Thursday, August 5. The winner will take on Democrat Jim Cooper who, after serving 6 terms representing Tennessee's 4th district from 1982-1994, was elected to the heavily Democratic fifth district in 2002 with 66% of the vote and hasn't been seriously challenged since.
