Having Mitt Romney as our presidential nominee has been
a bitter pill indeed for me to swallow. But this is our reality. We had our
primary, we cast our votes and regardless of our concerns Mitt won. Fair and
square? That will be for historians to discern, but ours is a fate of the
reality of the moment. Regardless of how you feel about this portion of our
2012 election, we have other work at hand. With the nomination of Mitt Romney
it becomes ever more vital that we elect the most conservative members of
Congress that we possibly can. We must push this man to the right. He will not
go there willingly.
Recently, Orin Hatch of Utah has found himself in a
real fight for his Senate seat. Orin has revealed a disdain for those who would
hold him accountable for his decades of service. However, on a recent cloture
vote on a pork laden farm bill (S. 3240) Mr. Hatch was one of only 8 votes
against it. This shows the importance of mounting a primary challenge of all of
our leaders in every election. The only thing they understand is winning or
losing elections. I care not whether they act conservative or are truly
conservative at heart. As long as they vote conservative, We the People win!
This nation is on the brink of financial destruction
brought on by the failure of our leaders to abide by the enumerated powers
within the U.S. Constitution. We the People are responsible, not them. Man is
inherently corruptible; this is the truth of our founding. The revolutionary
spirit of our Founding documents reflects this clearly. It is up to us to hold
them accountable every day, every week, every month and every year. We must let
them know that we are watching…always! Yes, it is irritating. Yes it is
inconvenient. Yes it is frustrating. But it is the plain truth.
Be active. Educate yourself and your children. Let our
leaders know that you are watching. And above all else, vote your conscience
not your emotions. The lesser of two evils is evil. Primaries are for cleaning
out the party. The general election is for cleaning out communists.
