Remember that the 2008 election cycle is not over. A recount started today in the US Senate race in Minnesota between Senator Norm Coleman and Al Franken. A runoff election will be held on December 2nd for the Georgia US Senate seat now held by Senator Saxby Chambliss. While Chambliss won the election, Georgia state law requires a runoff election if the winning candidate does not receive over 50% plus one of the votes cast.
Recounts are also pending in several US House races. Additionally, two congressional races in Louisiana will be held in December.
You don’t need to be a Georgia resident to help in the Georgia runoff election. Just go to www.gop.com/phonebank sign up for a MyGOP account, go the link titled “Make Phone Calls” to access a list of 20 voters to call and encourage them to vote on December 2nd. This and the Minnesota race are critical to ensuring that the Democrats do not have a 60 member fillister-proof majority in the US Senate.

I'm a Republican because so far they have to the most part, supported the issues I'm interested in. The sanctity of life, and a moderate social policy, and a fiscally conservative policy. I believe the Party has strayed from these core beliefs especially with spending. We became too much like the Tax and Spend Democrats, but without the Taxes. Things don't work that way. If you are going to make it on less income you have to cut expenses. That is the real world. You cannot cut taxes and increase spending without creating an untenable situation. We have to get back to the ideal of the party in the 1980s and early 1990s. The Party of Reagan and Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. Of Sarah Palin, Charlie Cris, and Bobby Jindal, not the Party of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Collin Powell, or Nelson Rockefeller.
I am new to this organization. I also blog. I am looking forward to reading this blog in the future. I hope it will help show me exactly what the direction the this party will be. The next four years may be hard...and next time around we need to have a true conservative on the ticket or we will have a bad outcome again. I hope the party will listen this time.
