Huck Is The Real Deal - Thoughts On Today's Bloger's Call 2007-08-31 15:39:00 First of all I am very honored and proud to be an official "Blogger For Huckabee!" I have been interested in the politicalreal of things for a while but I have never really gotten behind a candidate in my short life like I have for Mike.Last night I received an invitation to a "Blogger's Conference Call" with the former Arkansas Governor. I couldn't have been any more excited. I quickly sent in my RSVP to proper person and set my watch for 2 PM. It never dawned on me until that time today that I had never participated in a conference call before. Thus, I did not make the proper choice of how to call in. I make a lot of phone calls now via Skype, unless I have free time on my cell phone during nights and weekends. I called in using that method. I quickly learned that it was not in my best interest to do so. I was not able to ask a question because to do so I had to "Press the 1 key" and Skype does not have that ability. Next time I will definitely use my phone to make the ca Read more:Today
Huckabee Momentum Continues, Huckabee In Georgia September 8th! 2007-08-30 16:28:00 More great news in the Huckabee
camp today as we head towards Labor Day!First of all, following his appearance at their convention this week, The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers has given their endorsement to Mike Huckabee for the Republican primaries! He was the only GOP Presidential candidate with the guts to appear down at their convention in Orlando, Florida (BTW Hilary Clinton got their endorsement for the Democrat side). More info can be found in this article in today's Miami Herald.The good news doesn't stop there folks! Huckabee's jump since his 2nd place finish at the Iowa GOP Straw Poll can now be seen in the polls in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina Not only do the polls show Huckabee's increased momentum, but there are citizens flocking to his campaign speeches as well. The Des Moines Register has a report here.Meanwhile, Huckabee continues to travel the country delivering his message of Hope for our nation and our future. On Read more:Georgia

A Fundraising suggestion for The Huckabee Campaign 2007-08-29 21:16:00 I think it is awesome and wonderful that there are several nice traditional campaign fundraising events being held to add money to the Huckabee
coffers. Note I used the word "Traditional. That means the customary fancy $500-,$1,000 a-head events. I think they are a wonderful way to raise money for our cause. However I have an additional suggestion. this campaign is about the folks on "Main Street" instead of "Wall Street." How about organizing smaller, localized events to raise money from Huckabee supporters who are not-as-wealthy. These events could be BBQ's or Picnics that would raise $25-$100 a person. Of course Mike Huckabee does not have to attend each one as he has more important places to be and other locales to visit and spread his message of hope. Do you think this is a good suggestion? Let me know what you think? Read more:Campaign

Enough is Enough! It's time to unite and not divide! 2007-08-29 16:17:00 It's been less than a decade since the Clinton impeachment (I didn't like him but the circus was a complete embarrassment and a waste of our time and tax dollars). Since that time we have stood as a nation politically divided and highly polarized. You either have to be a Conservative or a Liberal, Republican or Democrat.There can't be a happy medium. It's a bunch of crap and I am tired of it! Nothing in Washington is done for the good of the people or the nation. It's all party politics and politics as usual has thrown the concept of bi-partisanship out the window and into the garbage.It's time for a change and in the immortal words of Sam Cooke "A Change is Gonna Come". It's time to rise up as one voice and demand a president who won't divide us any longer. Our future as a nation depends on it. Our enemies have already started gathering like vultures and hungry wolves at our doorstep because they can see our weakness since we are so very divided. We have brave men Read more:Enough

Mike Huckabee on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" 2007-08-26 14:10:00 In case you missed it, here is Mike Huckabee
's appearance from Friday night on HBO (courtesy of a Youtube search):It was a short interview but a very important one that the GOP voters need to pay attention to. Listen to the applause and praise he gets from an audience that is not the conservative base in any sense of the word. Look at Mike's cross-party appeal. This is someone that will not only unite the party, but unite the nation. If nominated for President with a message that crosses party lines, how could Mike lose? Read more:Maher

Yet another reason to Vote for Mike! 2007-08-24 20:36:00 Today former House speaker Newt Gingrich wrote an excellent Op-Ed in the Los Angeles Times. You can read it here. Newt, as part of his American Solutions campaign has come up with a plan to transform the presidential debates into something much more productive than what we have currently. In the tradition of the legendary Douglas-Lincoln debates Newt wants 9 debates between the two nominated candidates in which all the important issues of the day are discussed and debated between Labor Day and Election Day. Newt has encouraged all of the GOP and Democrat Presidential candidates to sign a pledge that if they become their party's nominee for President that they will participate in the 9 debates with the nominee from the other party. Only one presidential candidate from either party has signed the pledge. While Rudy Guiliani has informally said he would participate, only Mike Huckabee has signed the pledge.I didn't know I could admire Mike anymore than I already did, but I do! Si

25 For 25 - Join Me And Make A Goal For A Healthier Lifestyle! 2007-08-23 15:51:00 I am pretty sure you can see my profile picture there in the corner. That was a few years ago. I am heavier than that now. I am a little short of a month out from turning 25. To me this is a big deal.When I was born I was blessed (yes...I consider it a blessing) with many birth defects. Most prevalent is my visual impairment, however I was born with many others. I do not have all the joints in my fingers. I was born with a bilateral cleft palate, no actual nose on my face (just holes where one should be...a nose has since been built on my face through plastic surgery during my childhood), a pituitary dysfunction, among other things. The doctors told my parents, after testing me for every disease and disorder under the sun, that I would not live past six months. They said that even if I did I would be a "vegetable". Facing all of this. pneumonia set in at 2 months and I was rushed in to ICU as my heart began to fail.. With God's blessing emergency surgery on Thanksgiving, 19

And yes when the bus comes rolling through I will be there and do my darndest to get pictures for ya!
WSB Radio Atlanta's Annaul Care-A-Thon 2007-08-22 21:00:00 Starting tomorrow morning (the 23rd) lasting through 6 PM Eastern on Friday (the 24th), AM 750 WSB in Atlanta
will be holding their annual Care-A-Thon benefiting the Aflac Children's Cancer Center at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Cancer is a terrible thing but it is even more so when it affects young children. They do great work down there at the Center and treat kids from all over the country. Last year the Care=A=Thon raised over 1 Million dollars, bringing the stations overall total through the years to over 4.5 Million! The money raised is used to take care of the kids and their families, as well as fund important research designed to eradicate the pestilence that is Childhood cancer and blood disorders. Why don't you help the cause too? More info can be found at WSB's page (where you can donate right there or find the phone number to call during the 37 hour event). Thank you for reading!

How dare you, Mitt Romney - My vote cannot be bought!! 2007-08-15 14:15:00 GOP presidential candidate, former MA Governor, Romney
.htm">Mitt Romney
is in Atlanta today and gave away lunch at The Varsity this afternoon. How dare he? This isn't an election for student body president. We're dealing with an election for President of the United States. My vote cannot be bought. How dare he! Don't get me wrong but Mitt can do what he wants and campaign how he wants but I sick of politics as usual and pandering for votes in this fashion. I look forward to throw out politics as usual in the trashcan next February when I vote for Mike Huckabee in the GOP primary!
Well it didn't take long to hear from the FairTax on Iowa 2007-08-11 23:26:00 Just an hour or so after my last post an E-mail newsletter came in from FairTax.org - The newsletter is also published here - They are really happy with the results of the Straw Poll, with Huckabee taking 2nd place. They also promise photos and videos from their operations on the day of the Straw Poll and from their statewide bus tour they have been rolling through Iowa the past few weeks. Their next phase of operations is now in preparation mode and includes another rally somewhere on the East coast.
MIKE HUCKABEE TAKES 2ND IN IOWA!! 2007-08-11 20:54:00 Today the Iowa GOP straw poll was held in Ames, the site of Iowa State University. It was anticipated that Mitt Romney would win as he has poured millions of dollars into his Iowa operations. Mitt did win. Cyclone Conservative has the total numbers.I am very pleased to say that the candidate that I support, Mike Huckabee took 2nd place with 18.1 percent of the vote! This is very huge for the former Governor of Arkansas who is, over time, climbing his way up the ladder of candidates. Note that Guilianai, McCain, or Fred Thompson did not participate so the competition was lighter than it could have been for a candidate, such as Huckabee who clearly lacks the funds that Romney has been able to collect. This is a huge victory for my guy and i hope it results in the turning of some more heads and the opening up of some wallets.How did the Fair Tax do? Not sure. I suppose a full report will come from Neal Boortz who was up in Ames today, on monday morning. I don't think they had
I LIKE MIKE!! 2007-08-09 10:11:00 As I have stated before I am interested in politics and follow the political process closely as I believe it is my duty as an American citizen to do so (there are far too many people out there that don't and that's very sad). I consider myself to be a political independent. I usually vote Republican or Libertarian (I did and am proud to have voted for former GA Democrat senator Zell Miller). As far as foreign policy I side with the Conservatives but I lean to the Libertarians at home. I believe in the strict interpretation of the Constitution.Ovbviously since the campaign for the White House has already begun I have decided on the candidate that I support. That candidate is Mike Huckabee. I am a supporter of the Fair Tax, an idea that would shut down the IRS and replace our current tax on income to a tax on consumption. The measure would replace income tax, social security tax, corporate taxes, etc with a 23 percent national sales tax. It would make the United States as the

A Great Invitation to Send For Vertical Day! 2007-09-23 09:41:00 Good Morning everyone! Big Kudos to Brian over at Popular Huck! He's composed a fantastic invitation that you can send to your friends to invite them to Vertical
Day tomorrow! Here it is in quotes: Dear [Friend’s Name], I probably don’t have to tell you how crucial the next presidential election will be in addressing the dire challenges that face our country. Shall we find by next summer that the government-media establishment has once again selected the final contenders, leaving us with no choice but to vote in November ’08 for “the lesser of two evils?” I hope you’ll join me in standing up now to say, “No more! We have a say who gets to play!” You see, we will soon have an opportunity to vote our conscience without reservation: the upcoming Primary, only four months away, when we choose our party’s nominee for the general election. It is, in fact, for conscience’ sake, and to stand up to the establishment, that I’m asking you to take this opportunity to Read more:Great

Saturday Huckabee Roundup 2007-09-22 10:43:00 Good morning everyone! It's been a busy week for me. Wednesday was my 25th Birthday and last night my party was held. the Party was at my house so I had to help clean and prepare the house for company. That's why you have not heard much from me this week. Just as it has been a busy week for me, It's been a busy week for the Huckabee
campaign and it looks like the early part of next week at least will be even busier. I know there have been new bloggers posted on the Huckbee site and I will add Y'all later today while watching football. First of all a big grassroots push has begun. There is a website the Huckabee campaign is now using called Eventful. Supporters have the opportunity to "demand" an appearance by Mike Huckabee and some supporters are building Google maps to represent their state's amount of demands. There has been so much news of late that the blog posts on Mike Huckabee's website have buried the posts with all the links to these maps. I am sure they will app Read more:Saturday
