Why I'm so hung up on Huckabee.

So many of you are tired of my emails and talking about Huckabee all the time. You ask yourself, "man why is he so caught up in all this political stuff? All those politicians are crooks anyway, whoever gets elected, they're just crooks."

Well I can understand how you feel, years of this kind of experience have led you to think this way about the whole American political process. In fact I feel the same way as you. So why am I so excited by Huckabee?

Well there is of course the issues, I agree with him on almost every issue he puts out there, he even puts out the issues that I think are important (Faith, Fair Tax, Securing the border, Homeschooling, Sanctity of Marriage and Life, etc). Huckabee also seems to "get it" as to the importance and uniqueness of America, read my Get out the vote..or REPENT!!! blog post, Huckabee understands that this is a government of the people and by the people, and that our freedoms were given to us by God, and we relinquish those freedoms to our Government in order to have a civil society. This is a huge idea, unheard of in human history, however we have become so accustomed to it that we almost don't realize it's significance.

You might say, well sure, he SAYS he believes all that stuff, but really he just wants power like any other politician. My answer is this, I don't know the man personally, maybe your right. However, he is out there spreading a different message than all the other candidates, he's not afraid to tell you about his faith, he's not afraid to attack the IRS and support the Fair Tax, he's not afraid to say that the 2nd amendment isn't about hunting it's about killing tyrants etc...yeah maybe this is just a twisted strategy to get all of us Christian conservative types up off our seats and to the polling booth, but think about this for a second...

This message is motivating people, Huckabee has shot up in the polls based almost solely on how his message is resounding with his grass roots supporters. He has spent very little money on TV ads, mostly internet and word of mouth has spread his MESSAGE, and that MESSAGE has woken some people up.

My point is that it doesn't really matter if he is insincere (which, by the way, I think he is completely sincere), what matters is that Washington sees and understands the message that we the people will respond to. We are their boss, we own them, and through the message of Huckabee we are telling them how we want them to govern. If they choose not to govern according to the message they got elected by, then we the people must fire them. Huckabee has the message that makes me not only want to vote but to give, and fight and debate and get excited about the entire American political process. And if he wins you better bet I'm going to hold him accountable to the standard he set in his message.

So yes, I am asking you to get out there and support Huckabee with your time, and your money and most importantly your ever precious vote. But even more I am asking you to get out there and support the message that Huckabee is sending. We can change our government, we the people, really, we can. Support the message by supporting the candidate brave and bold enough to speak the message that you care about.

Here's the deal, you can't gripe about our government if you aren't involved in changing it. If you want to gripe about a government, move to a dictatorship where you don't get to choose who governs you, but wait, most of those take away your right to gripe as well...dang...I guess your best bet is just to get off your butt and get involved in getting behind the right message and setting the tone in Washington for what we the people expect of them.

Our candidates WON'T win unless they have our support. We have to understand the system, and participate in it. That means your time, your money, and your vote. If you leave any of these out your are crippling the chances that your message will be heard.

My time, my money and my vote are for Huckabee's message, join me.
