I found these words on Hillary Clinton's website under the Comprehensive Government Reform heading. It says, "Well, how about this for a new approach? No more cronyism, no more corruption, and no more deception."
These are interesting words coming from Senator Clinton. While she was First Lady, Independent Counsel Robert Ray determined Clinton gave "factually false testimony" concerning her role in the Clinton White House Travel Office investigation. And how about Bill Clinton's admission (to avoid indictment) that he made false statements in the Monica Lewinsky case. Then we have Bill's false testimony concerning the Paula Jones sexual harassment investigation. Is this the type of corruption and deception Senator Clinton wants no more of?
While I completely agree that we need a transparent government - one in which there is no deception or corruption - I must disagree that Senator Clinton would be the most qualified candidate to give us that. Any candidate or elected official that practices such things is not worthy of our vote.

Why I am a Republican
I am a Republican Because...
I BELIEVE the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person's dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.
I BELIEVE in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability.
I BELIEVE free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.
I BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.
I BELIEVE the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations and that the best government is that which governs least.
I BELIEVE the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people.
I BELIEVE Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times.
I BELIEVE Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world.
FINALLY, I believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.

The American's Creed
I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.
(Written by William Tyler Page in 1917, accepted by the United States House of Representatives on April 3, 1918.)

Huckabee Vs. Hillary
Big news! In a Zogby poll released today shows Mike Huckabee would beat Hillary Clinton 44% to 39%. That is the biggest margin among the top 5 Republican candidates. This, like other polls, is showing Huckabee's message resonating with the American voters.
An Insider Advantage poll for the Florida primary shows Huckabee surging in that state. Huckabee is in a solid second place with a 9% bump compared with a 7% slide for Giuliani.
Week over week Huckabee's support grows while most of the other candidates' numbers are far below where they started.
Mike Huckabee is a man of integrity and a true leader. Take a look at where he stands on issues that are important to you and I'm sure you will see why he should be our next President.

The Importance of Voting
Your vote in our upcoming Presidential election is of the utmost importance. Between now and then, you will hear a lot of talk that if you vote for this person you are really voting against that person. I even heard it said on a talk radio if you voted for a particular candidate you are throwing your vote away! The intent of this article isn't to prove or disprove any of those theories. This article is simply my way to impress upon you the importance of your vote.
So, have you registered to vote? If not, why not? Did you know how just one vote can turn the course of an election?
One vote - your vote - is important!

- Women won the right to vote in 1920 by just one vote
- In 1845, Texas won statehood by just one vote
- President Johnson was spared impeachment by just one vote in 1868
One vote - your vote - is important!

Please Read "Thank God For America"
Please take a moment to read a blog entitled Thank God For America by Dinesh D'Souza. Mr. D'Souza is one of my favorite conservative writers and I know you will appreciate what he has to say!
