We are fast upon a presidential primary that may well define the future direction of the Republican party in America.  Do we follow in the footsteps of Reagan or do we go down the path of John McCain?

Presidential campaigns are about the 3 M's:  Media, Momentum and Money.  Once a candidate achieves critical mass with media and momentum, the money flows in like a river.  If the media cooperates, then its all good but if the media doesn't finger you as their "darling", you'll have a tough "row to hoe".  Right now, the media darlings on the Republican side are Huckabee and McCain while Romney, Thompson and Giuliani have been all but forgotten.  This is where Grassroots Troopers from coast to coast come into the equation.

My philosophy is that it doesn't take alot of people to start a movement but it does take a few crusaders who are committed to the effort and unwilling to give up.  Once those people can get the word out to patriots who care enough about the future of the country, geometric progression will take care of the rest. 

Tomorrow's primary in Michigan could well be the moment where John McCain builds sufficient momentum so that he's unstoppable as a Republican presidential nominee.  To say that this development will be catastrophic to the future of the United States would be the understatement of my lifetime.  You see, this election year we face a compressed primary season where candidates can "slingshot" past each other virtually unnoticed and by the time the "Lion's Share" of Americans notice, IT COULD BE TOO LATE!

Please, if you know someone from Michigan or if you know someone who knows someone from Michigan, think about contacting them for a quick convo about tomorrow's primary.  There are some things to discuss about the background of John McCain and what kind of legislation he has promoted as a so-called Republican.  To wit:

1)   John McCain is a "Joe Lieberman Republican" meaning that he is strong on national defense (which I do indeed applaud) yet socially liberal on policies that WILL AFFECT YOU and your children.  Why do you think that McCain has Lieberman's endorsement for president?  It all begins to make sense now doesn't it?

2)  John McCain only sponsors legislation with liberal democrats such as Ted Kennedy, John Edwards, Russ Feingold and Joe Lieberman.  How come McCain never teams up with conservative Democrats or even other Republicans to sponsor legislation?  hmmmmmm (currently lost in deep thought on this one.....)

3)  John McCain sponsored an amnesty bill which would have legalized some 20,000,000 illegal aliens who defied our laws and snuck across our borders.  When people demanded that the bill place border closure as a first priority ahead of citizenship, McCain branded the opposition as racism!  Are you a racist just because you want the law to be followed?  Yes you are according to John McCain.

4)  When President Bush authored the first tax cuts since the Reagan-era in 2002, in the wake of the sagging economy, he counted on full support from his Republican brethren in the U.S. Senate.  But wait, 2 Republicans saw fit to vote against the tax cuts and I'll bet you're shocked to hear that McCain was one of them!  How did he explain his opposition to the tax reductions you ask?  Well they were tax cuts for the rich, of course.

5)  Many of us complain about career politicians who get entrenched in the Washington, D.C. culture and then fail to respond to the needs of constituents.  John McCain listened to these lamentations and saw fit to change things but did he do it by sponsoring legislation to institute term limits?  No!  Instead he sponsored legislation with one of the most LIBERAL Senators on Capitol Hill to limit free speech for citizens who sponsor a candidate within 60 days of an election.  Campaign Finance Reform was a clear-cut violation of your First Amendment rights but this travesty of McCain's own creation didn't stop there.  Loopholes in this finance law allowed these detestable "527 groups" to form which take in donations from supporters and then use the money to create despicable advertisements which distort and lie with virtual impunity! 

6)  President Bush sought to appoint judges to the Federal bench which would respect the Constitution and not write their own version of the law. What did the Democrats in Congress do when a nominee would come before them for approval?  Why filibuster the judges, of course.  So, instead of requiring a simple majority as had been required previously in history, now these judges needed a "super-majority" of 60 votes or greater.  Republicans sought a change to the U.S. Senate rules to prevent Democrats from blocking judicial nominees in such an insidious and cowardly fashion.  But alas, guess who stepped up, to form a group of Senators who would not allow the rules change?  You got it, good ole John McCain formed the infamous "Gang of Fourteen" who stood in the way so that Democrats could continue their underhanded tactics.

Had enough yet?  Well, I certainly have and you should have as well.  It is easy to listen to someone flap their gums and sound convincing while it is much harder to look up their record and see for yourself where they stand on the issues which challenge our representative republic.  Once Michiganders cast their vote tomorrow and provide momentum to one or more candidates in the field, history will be set in a more definitive direction towards a desired or undesired outcome.  If you have the ability to affect this outcome and my plea has had any impact on you whatsoever, I hope and pray you will take any action that you feel necessary to do your patriotic duty for God, Country and Family.  John McCain is not the right man to lead this country and I know this with all my heart.
