OK now that I have your attention...

Firstly, I am NOT endorsing all the current Republican policies. I think that for the most part, Hastert has failed the Nation, has dragged the Republican Party over to Democrat-style spending and pork barrel politics -- and the he has abandoned the ideals which won the Republicans their majority 12 years go. That is why the Republican party is in such hot water in this election.

But the alternative is worse.

Never forget that we are in a war with Radical Islam that seeks nothing less than destruction of the USA and its ideals, and utter submission to Fundamentalist Islam and Sharia Law.

Now, with that in mind, ask yourself how well our troops will work with Chairman Alcee Hastings (impeached for Bribery!) controlling the Intelligence that supports them, and Socialist Waxman doing the budgeting, and that moral midget Murtha (un-indicted co-conspirator in ABSCAM!) determining what gets in and out of the defense committee, and Ultra-liberal anti-military Sheehan-chum Nanacy Pelosi steering the Congress that sets our policies. Imagine yourself having to defend the nation and put people's lives on the line, and imagine doing so depending for your "top cover", policy and fiscal support, upon people in Congress that hate you.

Honestly assess the situation, and consider which group leadership (R or D) is best for the security of the nation.

Now that you see the threat, you may wonder "What can I do?, my district is a safe one, so my campaigning doesn't make a difference at all either way".

Wrong. This year is different. You have No Excuses.

The GOP has a get out the vote at their GOP GOTV link (in plain-text below)

http://www.gop.com/NeighborToNeighbor/Signup.aspx?CampaignId=4

The 30 minute call program lets you reach out of your district, which may be hopeless or already locked-up, and call people where it counts. Missouri, for example, to keep Talent in and McCaskill out. Or any of the other "tossup" areas. Your 30 minutes can and will have a huge impact - remember the impact of large numbers. If you only generate one vote in your calls, that's enough, if we can get enough people calling.

And tonight is the last chance: throw 30 minutes of phone calls on tonight. Sign up NOW, don't wait! You're online if you're reading this so you do not have an excuse. And then do the calls this afternoon when you get home from work, or do it this evening while you're watching the Monday Night Football Game pre-show.

Come on folks is 30 minutes too high a price to ask compared to the price we all will pay for the next 2 years of retreat, defeat and impeachment?

The on Tuesday, Keep the Republican Congress in place, "hold your nose and vote"

As you volunteer, keep in mind the old saying "he may be a son of a bitch, but hes OUR son of a bitch".

One thing is for sure: if you get out there and make those calls, then those sons of bitches OWE YOU.

Take it personally, and collect on it.

If we can get the Republicans to stay in control of Congress, it will be mainly to the credit of the GOTV efforts. The way I'm thinking, they may end up wishing they hadn't after we keep chewing on them over the next 2 years.

All the people I have called on behalf of, in addition to the congresscritter I'm campaigning for, will hear the following and will get smacked with it until they do it:

=============

WIN THE WAR
Smack the president for fighting only half way. Tell him its time to lay the leather into it. Win this thing in Iraq and Afghanistan, and quit gimping around with the enablers of terrorism, Iran and Syria and North Korea.

SECURE THE BORDER
No excuses, don't screw around, worry about immigration policy later. Fix the border, build the fence NOW, staff and fund the border-patrol NOW.

STOP THE PORK
No secret holds, no earmarks, no bloated omnibus budget bills. Submit your budget items with a name attached to them, out in the open, and let us see them at least 5 working days before you vote on them. Make a shopping list. Don't act like we have to buy the 7 million dollar bridge to nowhere in order to get rifles for our troops! Put the items out there INDIVIDUALLY, and put your name on it. Its our damn money, and if you can't put you name by the spending, then that's a clear indication that you are spending it on the wrong thing! Plus it gives the office of the president back the veto power he was intended to have.

CLEAN UP THE CORRUPTION
First, No revolving door to K-Street: Anyone that serves in Congress is BARRED PERMANENTLY from lobbying it. PERIOD. Next, if you fix the budgeting process, the corruption issues will clean themselves up. But in the meanwhile, make hard rules. If you are seen to have improperly interacted with a lobbyist, or get popped with $90,000 in your freezer, you are suspended. No votes needed, sorry - yer outta there until your are cleared. The state governor will appoint a temporary replacement until you resign or are exonerated.

=============

My candidate loves the work I'm doing, but he and the others are going to scream when it comes time to pay me and the other people who helped them get into office.

Too bad. And the funny thing is, I will be doing this regardless of who wins. Its just that if the Republicans win, I will have more pull because THEY OWE ME.

So sign up, at the GOP GOTV, and put your personal leash on the Republicans - get them into office, and amplify your voice.

Its simple, easy and you have no excuse since you are online reading this now. Take time sign up now, and take 30 minutes later to make some calls; Get the Republicans into control of the Congress, and get them in your debt at the same time. And collect that debt later, big time.

You have no excuses - and time is running out.

And no, I will not kick your ass if you don't sign up and call, heh. Nancy Pelois will administer the punishment to the whole nation instead.
