    It would be automatically construed as a second for the purposes of a nomination. 

    Okay; trying to make absolutely certain and do it by the book lol. 
     

    in that case, I will accept my nomination; I will be going with precedent and giving the gavel to @General Goose to proceed over this election. I also want to announce that, should I win, there is a possibility I sign out Howe and sign in a new GOP Congressman to serve as chair.

    Politicians like to talk about one industry or another being the "backbone" of this country; yet, when it comes time to get to work for these industries, to help their workers and employers not only to create jobs and institute a stable work force, but to actually keep this country up ad running, they just fall short. They sell out our workers to radical logic and political groups, they sell our labor and efforts out to foreign governments like China due to costs, leaving our workers in the dust, and our country struggling to get by. There's been no "backbone"-esque fields that this has been reflected with than industries like agriculture, energy, as well as the infrastructure of this nation.

     

    If there is one thing I've been so incredibly disappointed with the Democratic party about, it's been their blatant lies and failures to engage in positive changes for this country. Y'know, when the 2006 elections occurred, while I disagreed with most of their policies, I held my breath; If a political group can undertake good for the country, why stop it or be against it? After all, being a politician isn't about doing what's best for one's party, it's about advocating and the best country, for all of us, period. So, how have they approached the crucial business of governance? They've made an absolute mockery of the process. They've recycled through speakers the way a parent cycles through diapers with a newborn. They've used the serious investigate powers of the Select Committee not to find answers about complex subjects in this country, but to weaponize it, making it into a cheap political tool to try and score cheap political points over the Republican party. And when it comes to our worker? They want to raise taxes on our businesses and job creators, they refuse to let this country increase our oil independence, becoming more reliant on questionable powers in the Middle East, hurting our job market as a whole. They leave our farmers behind for their coastal, liberal elitist base, and have failed to produce any, meaningful infrastructure reform, or proposal. And you know what? Now, they want your vote in a few days! Folks like John Matheson are going to sell themselves as moderate, Blue Dog Democrats from another era, committed to solutions and not gridlock, but when they do, just ask yourselves, where was this talk when our jobs were being sold off to China? When our factories were shuttered due to Democratic incompetence and instability? Were was this talk when our bridges, roads, highways and dams fell under decay due to lack of a solid infrastructure plan.

     

    The Republican Party is going to get this country moving again; if elected to a House Majority, we'll not only stand for our workers, but our most crucial industries! How do I know this? Cause we've already done it, even from the minority! This session it was the Republican Party, not the Democrats, who introduced both the BRIDGE Act and the Iowa Flooding Relief and Recovery Act. When farmers, regular folks in Iowa and the mid-west were struggling to get back on their feet, our party introduced and passed legislation which gaveFEMA some 20 billion dollars, mobilizing them and letting them get to work to get our communities up and running again; it let us provide tax relief, cleanup, and bonus depreciation for millions of Americans. Our BRIDGE act would've given 10,000,000,000 dollars to the Secretary of the Energy to invest in American energy, not foreign sources. This very same BRIDGE Act would've provided hundreds of millions to create jobs, fight congestion and pollution, and increase transpiration options for all Americans, and it would've given 20 billion dollars to our communities to build new roads, bridges, highways and dams for the American people. What did the Democrats do? They killed it, out of sheer politicking and partisan gridlock, a disgusting example of D.C. at its worst.

    Keeping America Safe: it's the one topic that, campaign after campaign, year after year, keeps getting brought up on the trail by both parties. No matter if it was the 1890s and the Mexican American War, the 1910s until the 1940s with both World Wars, and then the "Cold War", and numerous smaller we've always been focused on our enemies abroad. And of course, our "enemies" domestically, violent, usually organized criminals who seek to rob, kill, and disorganize our society due to their greed. And, following the horrifying events of September the 11th, and numerous terrorist attacks not only against our country, but our allies, I do not need to tell you that these issues are of great importance to our national security, to our society and it's citizens. Above all else, we need leadership that can analyze and understand these threats, both of a foreign and domestic nature, and take them head on, so that this great American experiment can not only survive, but continue and grow for our future generations, our children and grandchildren.

     

    You would think the Democratic Party would understand these challenges of anyone; after all, in 2006, they campaigned tooth and nail that the Republican Party was incompetent, that we could no longer defend this country from those challenges, and that they would bring stern, yet modern, solutions and policies forward to protect our citizens. Almost two years into their terms, when they've had possession of both Congressional houses of this nation, what have they produced, though? A Select Committee that mocked the heroic, brave actions of our troops and military leadership, that called our military and diplomatic leadership from their important work of actually defending this country during a crucial phase of the war in the Middle East (in the very midst of a successful troop surge, might I add). When vicious, violent cartels flooded into our country, into cities like New Orleans and El Paso, and high-profile politicians were being murdered in Mexico City, what did the Democrats do? They were on their fourth House Speaker! They belittle Republican comprehensive efforts to secure our border, our cities, our citizens, trying to joke we were going to invade Mexico! It's funny, because the same Democrats who thought blood being shed in American cities was funny were the same ones introducing and pushing mocking legislation to move foreign capitols to Milan, wasting the time and money of our government, and the taxpayers money, to actually do their job and govern! If anything the Democratic party has shown they are unstable, unfit to lead this country in times of distress and emergency.

     

    Republicans though, we don't care if we're in the minority or not; we roll up our sleeves and get to work. On immigration, when Democrats wanted to open our borders to any and everyone, we wanted to increase security. We introduced the Ground-Breaking Eberard-Ortega Border and Job Security Act and the Border Security Improvement Acts, which would hire hundreds of new border patrol agents, new immigration judges, and devote hundreds of billions of dollars to these hiring, to building fencing and other protective measures on our border, to increase funding to DHS and the Defense Department, as well as intelligence agencies, but these pieces of actual comprehensive security reform would actually protect our citizens by giving our Border agents new, improved equipment and technology, as well as fighting the tunnels the cartels use to get their brutes into this country. These legislative pieces would form new, modern strategies for enforcing and defending our border, would secure the border,  and pass national E-Verify. And that's not all; if the Republican Party earns your vote, and receive a majority in the house, we will be tough on these criminals. We're not going to take the path of the Democrats, taking the guns of law-abiding Americans while criminals can get semi-automatic rifles, we're going to oppose every single piece of invasive, anti-constitutional gun control measures. We're going to pass National Concealed Carry Reciprocity, a GOP Majority would defend the Castle Doctrine nationwide, as well as stand your ground legislation. A House GOP Majority would enact increases on mandatory minimums for all violent crimes & drug offenses, and encourage sand work with all states to achieve this of local charges, too. We'll defend the right for Capital Punishment to be used for the states, and work with Governors to make sure those who take the lives of police officers must face this sentence. The House Republican Party will also support and bolster three strikes legislation around our nation, and increase funding to local and state police departments and agencies.

     

    And in terms of keeping this country safe abroad, let me clear: Under a Republican Congress and President, we will get Osama Bin Laden, in handcuffs or a body bag, dead or alive! We will hold that monstrous beast accountable not only for the murder of nearly 3,000 people on 9/11, but the numerous terrorist attacks he's committed before and since, not only on the U.S. worldwide, and we will make sure the same justice is brought upon his top co-conspirators, from the soldiers and paper pushers of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban to the very top. Let me be clear; in 2008, we were shown that the troop surge is working! We will not govern like the Democratic party, where we undergo a strategy and run from it at the first signs of trouble. A Republican Congressional majority will not leave until the job is done, until the terrorists and brutal regimes of Afghanistan and Iraq, respectively, are crumbled. We will devote hundreds of millions, if not billions to our intelligence community and Defense Department to see this job done, but increase funding of new technology and weapons to see that our troops can go to battle effectively. A GOP majority in Congress will defend the PATRIOT Act as well, so the War on Terror can be won effectively. But there is more to war than the gun fights; we mustn't forget our main priority throughout all of this: to build democracy and stability in the Middle East, and in a Republican Congress and Starnes Administration, we will work with our allies in NATO and the UN to make sure both of those states are stable, and have foundational democracies, with civil rights and liberties for all, so that the terrorism of the region can be pushed out, once and for all. We will work to build the types of institutions in these states that can lead them to be safe, stable and productive members of our world community.

     

    My friends, I think it's easy to be disillusioned with national security, especially with the absolute failure by House Democrats this session. However, a Republican Congress will put your safety first and foremost, so that our country and it's values and beliefs can survive long after this election and this current generation. Thank you all, god bless you and our wonderful country! Don't forget to vote for Republican (CANDIDATE) come November 4th, and Republican candidates up and down the ballot then!

    Republican Congressional Campaigning, Round Three

     

    Stump Speech One:

    Congressman Chris Ruberti (R-CT-4)

    Targets: Moderates, disaffected Democrats, environmentalists, fiscal conservatives/social liberals, college-educated suburbanites 

    Location:

    Sammamish, Washington

    Barnstable, Massachussetts

     

    Quote

    The key takeaway I want you to take from this is that the Republican Party is a big tent. Vote Republican, and you'll get an independent thinker. Someone who innovates and thinks outside the box. Someone who’ll be willing to stand up to DC elites and party leadership. Someone who will represent your district's values, your district's needs. Unlike the Democrats, who are seeking to enforce a one-size-fits-all approach to our wildly diverse nation, Republicans reflect that.

     

    I myself am a pro-choice, pro-gay rights Republican. I'm moderate on guns and immigration. There is a plurality and diversity of thought within the Republican Party that is absent within the modern Democratic Party. And despite that - hell, because of that - the legislative proposals we are putting out on issues from infrastructure to energy and from conservation to taxes are so much more impressive than what the Democratic minority is doing. It means that a Republican proposal on something like civil rights or keeping our nation open for business will be so much more robust, more effective, than what the Democrats offer. 

     

    Take the environment. A perfect example of what I'm talking about. On this issue, Democrats promised much. On fighting climate change, on promoting renewable fuels and power, on delivering energy efficiency, on conserving natural beauty and environmental quality for future generations. Important goals! Yet they dragged their feet and barely delivered. They ignored these issues. Prominent groups, such as the Sierra Club, have condemned the Democrats for this. Meanwhile, I have introduced the All-of-the-Above Energy and Conservation Act. It makes dramatic investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency, unleashes our nation's research and innovation potential, and invests billions in protecting ecosystems and our nation’s natural beauty. Despite these all being things that the Democrats pay a lot of lip-service to, they haven't brought it forward. They haven't even proposed an alternative. 

     

    The only way, then, to get movement on these important issues is to get moderate Republicans such as myself elected. Democrats will continue to do nothing. 

     

    Instead, they've been incredibly active on issues that don't matter - literally spending taxpayer dollars arguing about the capital of Italy and burning through new Speakers every few months - and not at all on the issues that do. They promised energy efficiency and didn't deliver. Promised implementing the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission, and didn't deliver. Promised action to fight poverty and stand up for civil rights, didn't deliver. 

     

    We cannot afford more of that inactivity. Especially next Congress, when such inactivity will cause a dramatic increase in taxes on all Americans. 

     

    On many other issues, most notably immigration, the Democrats have betrayed their base. They have broken promises. Groups like La Raza and the NAACP - the NAACP! - condemned the Democrats' immigration proposals. It was antithetical to the American Dream. And what did DC Democrats do? Listen to these concerns? No. They doubled down. They ignored these groups. I was the loudest voice in Congress sticking up for their questions. 

     

    A Democratic Representative will *say* they're an advocate for minority groups, for the poor and disadvantaged. But they've all proven they'd much rather do what DC politicians tell them to do. They talk the talk, but whether out of laziness or cowardice, they won't walk the walk. 

     

    Now, get a Republican in your corner, and you've got a fighter. Someone who'll stand up to party leadership. 

     

    But you'll also get a freer, safe, more prosperous world, as we open up new trade opportunities for American businesses, stand up for our values of human rights and democracy, and continue vigilantly fighting those terrorists who seek to harm us. You'll get lower taxes, as we unleash America's entrepreneurial spirit and make well-targeted and efficient investments in our nation’s future. Vote Republican, and God bless the USA!

     

     

    Stump Speech Two:

    R.N.C Chairman & Congressman John D. Howe, Jr. (R-TN-07)

    Targets: Families, Veterans & Active Duty, Swing Voters, Middle Class Voters, "Law and Order" voters

    [OOC: NOTE: this following paragraph will only be used in Florida]. And speaking of institutions that are safe and stable, I know tonight there are many Cuban-Americans here with us in the crowd; let me be clear: A Republican Congress will never, ever let up on the Castro government as long as they remain committed to the vile, anti-Human Rights and anti-civil liberties regime they have been since the 1960s. There will never be a Cuban thaw during a Republican Congress, and we will make sure that Cuban political refugees and prisoners have a safe haven in this country from such a hostile state.

What did the Democrats do? They killed it, out of sheer politicking and partisan gridlock, a disgusting example of D.C. at its worst. Even when we were relegated to being in the Congressional minority, we got to work for the American people.

     

    These initiatives won't be all we'll achieve should we win a Congressional majority come the 4th of November. We will not only pass upon the BRIDGE Act, but expand on it; passing a trillion dollar, comprehensive infrastructure package that not only repairs the infrastructure of this country, but builds and extends roads, bridges, dams and highways and other massive projects in this country, with our infrastructure Bank of America. Our infrastructure project will see the expansion and construction of projects like broadband and high speed internet to rural Americans, as well as other projects to see the urban-rural divide in this country bridged. We'll increase transparency and productivity in the construction of these projects, so taxpayer dollars do not go to waste, and rid the contract awarding process of corruption, so that we can have a process filled with inclusivity, competition and competency. On Energy, our mandate and investments will support an "All-of-the-above" approach, where we support only solely American bases of energy production, so we can ween ourselves off of foreign dependence, decreases costs massively and creating a huge job market in energy fields like coal, oil, solar, and others. A Republican-led Congress will pass regulatory and tax relief, as well as cuts, for our energy businesses large and small, and we'll open up restricted lands like the ANWR, among others, to again increase American, at home energy production, to see energy jobs and profits skyrocket. Republicans already showed you that we can accomplish such goals with FUEL at the PUMP Act, which shaved gas costs for Americans, created jobs and stabilized the American energy market, and we won't stop should we receive your vote on Tuesday. We'll not only increase and expand our energy portfolio, but increase American production and use of ethanol.

     

    For our farmers and Agriculture industry, a Republican Congress will usher in massive cuts in not only regulation and red tape that strangles our farmers, seeing generations old farms crumble but our foreign dependence on agriculture increase, but we'll massively cut taxes for our farms and farmers, both small and family farms, as well as larger ones. We'll pass packages that increase grants and aid to our smaller farms to increase competition, increase funds to the Department of Agriculture as well as pass a new farm bill, and will trim the power of the toxic EPA, so that our agriculture industry can go through a stunning revival.

     

    For Republicans, our worker in Energy and Agriculture have never been the workers of yesterday, or yester-year, as some Democrats would have you believe. Our workers in those fields will always be the workers of tomorrow, of a great, strong American future. A Republican House Majority will make sure they are defended as such, and that the infrastructure in this country can be ushered into the 21st century. Thank you all, God bless you and our wonderful country! Vote Republican up and down the ballot come November 4th!

     

     

    Stump Speech Four:

    House Minority Whip Raymond Harman (R-OH-02)

    Targets: Suburban women, moderate Independents, establishment Republicans

    Location:

    Cincinnati, Ohio

    King of Prussia, Pennsylvania

    Fairfax, Virginia

     

    Quote

    Well, hello there [location]! It's great to be here with all of you tonight campaigning for our local Republican Party candidates, including those running to join me in Congress, like [local candidates' names]. In his impassioned inaugural address, John F. Kennedy challenged his fellow Americans to ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. Our Republican candidates are committed to this principle: of serving our fellow Americans and putting your interests first.

     

    That's why Republicans introduced and passed the Campaign Expenditure Accountability Act and House Independent Ethics Commission Creation Act - even in a Democratic-controlled Congress. We believe in good government that is responsive to the people we are elected to serve. That means you can count on us to uphold our campaign promises in office, whether the voters put us in control of the House or not. Tonight, I'd like to focus on a few of our key promises that haven't gotten a lot of attention on the campaign trail so far. And they relate to how government can best serve the people, by providing services like a world-class education and guaranteeing greater access to affordable healthcare.

     

    I stopped by a diner while I was campaigning just the other day, and while I was there I met with a young couple, Mark and Hannah. Mark told me how his health insurance for his family was tied to his employment, and when he was recently laid off, he lost their health benefits. That's why I'm a big supporter of our Republican vision for health coverage: we would allow people like Mark and Hannah to buy private insurance on a competitive exchange-based marketplace using our expanded health savings accounts. By allowing employers to contribute to the savings account, families could save away for a rainy day.

     

    But the cost of care is another burden we're facing as a nation, and that is why Republicans like me are going to create Medical Affordability Commissions that allow consumers to work together and bring down the cost of care while maintaining the highest standards of quality. Empowering families like yours to make the right healthcare decisions is the right decision, rather than government-issued mandates and onerous regulations that leading Democrats have proposed!

     

    Another vital area that families talk about around the dinner table every night is education. Raising our kids to be the critical thinkers, innovators, and leaders of the 21st century must be our priority, and that starts with empowering families to make choices for their students. While Democrats flip-flop over giving parent's choices, Republicans are clear: we should fund our students to set them up for success; we shouldn't fund systems that get bogged down in failure. It is imperative that states fund schools right here in [location], but that doesn't mean indiscriminately throwing money at the problem to hope it goes away. Instead, Republicans like Nathaniel Allen, John Starnes and myself are committed to retooling No Child Left Behind to be less focused on meeting arbitrary federal standards and more on the personal achievement of our next generation.

     

    Rafael Bonilla's Public School Freedom of Choice Act has attracted widespread support, including previously from John Matheson, but Democrats stonewalled and refused to bring it up for a vote in Congress. That bill would support public schools while challenging them to improve through competition. Iron sharpens iron, and competition in education will make our students are sharp as their pencils on the first day of school. 

     

    Folks, ever since I got involved in local politics in Cincinnati, I've been focused on good governance and delivering public services that empower the people who live in our cities, states and our country. And our Republican Party is committed to those same principles: accountability in government, affordable and accessible healthcare for all Americans, and high-quality educational choice for our children. As Election Day draws near, I urge you all to join me in voting for Republicans like [local candidate's name]. God bless you!

    Quote

    What is the value of infrastructure spending? To quote a well-known ad campaign, it's "priceless." It fixes roads and bridges, sure. But schools, power lines, parks, and waterways are also key sections of our country's infrastructure. Everything we do during our day happens because of some kind of infrastructure - and it needs repairs.

     

    It needs repairs - enough that the American Society of Civil Engineers gave it a "D" grade in their 2005 Infrastructure Report Card, and estimate that we'll need to spend at least $1.6 trillion to repair and build new infrastructure. But we don't just spend money and the infrastructure magically appears. As many people who've opened a business or attempted to build an addition on their house could tell you, there's a lot of red tape in the way. Republicans want to stop government for government's sake, get architects and designers working, and get boots on the ground as we rebuild our country. And we've got room for a lot of boots.

     

    Based on Bureau of Labor Statistics research, the Republican infrastructure plan will create almost a million jobs over each year of its existence. Can you imagine that many jobs for people? Democrats want to keep the status quo of unemployed people who are reliant on the government, and as such, on the Democrats, unemployed. Republicans, we're about job creation. Not only will we create new jobs in construction and architecture, but our plan will spur the birth of new companies and more promotions for existing workers. And you don't need me to tell you which party ensured that there was an increase in the minimum wage.

     

    This election is vital for the future of our economy and our infrastructure. You have a party who is investing in job creation, cutting worthless bureaucracy, and is committed to having our country be connected by car, plane, and train. And you have a party who is less committed to that. No names need be mentioned. But only the Republicans have proven that we can lead and pass legislation that supports and encourages the growth of everyone in this country. With your vote for [CANDIDATE NAME] and the other Republicans on your ballot, you'll help us make the American dream even greater than it is right now. Thank you and may God Bless America!

    Targets: Social Conservatives, Suburban Whites, Reagan Democrats

    Location:

    Tallahassee, Florida

    Gulfport, Mississsippi

    Quote

    "Folks it's my honor today to be here campaigning alongside of (Candidate) for (Location and district)! I know that we've been hearing a lot about how the Democrat Party this cycle has gone so far to the right that the mainstream media would have you believe that all of a sudden they're the preferred candidates of Middle America. But I couldn't help but notice that lock, stock and smoking barrel Democrat leadership is, was and will always be only reserved for those who appeal to the most out of touch of the coastal elites.

     

    "Because the simple truth of the matter is that, much like we saw what they did with Bill Clinton when he was the President, the national Democrat Party is just using a moderate candidate to be the Trojan Horse for their out of touch, coastal agenda. I mean, think about the things that they have advocated for this term. They wanted to go after law-abiding gun owners to make them pay for criminals' actions. They wanted to move the American embassy in Italy to Milan. They supported time and again a woman who pretended to be Muslim as she talked about turning Afghanistan into the Philippines.

     

    "Folks, it's almost comical the way that House Democrats have acted this term. You know, we have a joke in the Republican Caucus that every day when you walk onto the House Floor, you better look up to see who gets to hold the Speaker's gavel for that week. Because that's what we've come to expect from House Democrats. No action on the economy, no action on jobs, no action on supporting and defending our troops abroad. They wanted to push the same kind of tired, social experiment legislation that they've been trying to push for years now.

     

    "I know that there are a lot of good Democrats out there, the kinds that are like John Matheson was before he became a Presidential nominee, who would probably do some good things for this country. But...folks unfortunately the problem is that when you vote for a Blue Dog Democrat, you're also voting for Leah Ross and Liam Reeves and Christopher Williams. For every Democrat who believes in the Second Amendment, or is Pro-Life, or believes that marriage is between a man and a woman, you're going to find 10 or 20 that don't and will likely make sure that Blue Dog gets a primary challenge in the next election. Because the Democrat Party of today is about purity, everyone has to toe the same party line, even former "moderates" like their new nominee John Matheson.

     

    "So that's why I'm here today to ask you in joining me in supporting (Candidate) for Congress. With their help, we'll be able to take back the House, put a Republican in the Speaker's podium and ensure that Congress is once again open and ready to work. We'll cut your taxes, create new jobs and finally bring terrorists like Osama Bin Laden to justice! Thank you all and God Bless America!"

    I know some of you probably don’t consider yourself traditional Republican voters. And that’s fine. But I am here today to ask for all of your votes. 

     

    Unlike the Democratic Caucus in the House, who have gotten into an awful habit of breaking promises and betraying their voters, all falling dutifully into line behind their leadership and ignoring the needs of their constituents, the Republican Party is a big tent. The reason I’m here is to help get another middle-of-the-road common-sense problem-solver elected, someone who’ll stand up for the rights and opportunities of everyone, who’ll work to lift up the American people rather than divide them. Someone who votes their conscience. Who represents their constituents. 

     

    The Democratic Party has, in between their revolving door leadership, pushed aside that kind of Representative. 

     

    We are seeing a new age of independent centrist main-street Rockefeller Republicans. This district can be part of that. 

     

    But the main thing I want to emphasise is this: our economy will be better with a Republican Congress. Every Republican elected helps towards that. 

     

    Republicans understand that a key part of what has made America great is private business, enterprise, and innovation. That entrepreneurial spirit. We will defend that - protecting these businesses from job-killing regulations and tax hikes, stopping the automatic tax spike that will come with Democratic victories, resisting far-left attacks against American success stories such as our finance and research sectors. We will promote free enterprise - creating new trade opportunities abroad, clearing regulatory hurdles, making real opportunities for each and every American.

     

    And we will work with, rather than against, the free market to achieve the goals we as a nation have - ensuring energy independence, conserving our natural beauty, eradicating poverty, investing in our infrastructure, and, yes, meeting pressing ecological challenges such as global warming - without resorting to the tired left-wing playbook of inflexible government mandates and bloated spending projects. 

     

    This is the Republican commitment: a vibrant, dynamic, world-leading economy. One that creates jobs, one that gives us the capacity as a nation to solve our problems, one that produces the wealth we need to maintain our global preeminence. It is a citizen-led, pragmatic, responsible approach to governing, one that understands the proper constitutional limits of government, one that celebrates the reasons so many people travelled the world to pursue the American Dream in the first place.

    Quote

    What we say, who we are, and how we act affects who we are. What we've seen from the Democrats shows us exactly who they are. Take healthcare, for example. Congressman John Matheson, in his primary platform, stated that his main goals were to legalize interstate insurance sales and consider expansion through the Massachusetts model. That's why I found it funny when he showed up at the DNC and pledged "universal health care coverage" for the United States, removed that "consider" in that thought about the Massachusetts model from his General Election platform, and had their House platform solely mention the interstate exchanges.

     

    Who do you trust? When Jesus talks about how your left hand shouldn't know what your right hand does, he's not talking about policy and party coordination - that's somewhere you do need to be in sync. I spoke to a volunteer last week who told me that they didn't know what the Democrats were going to do if elected, and, to tell you the truth, I don't know either! But here's what I know. It doesn't matter if John Matheson wins or loses, because some folks in the Democratic Party will try to force government-run healthcare on us anyways. And you know what we need to say to that? Not in this country! I believe in America because here we respect and work with the free market, not against it. Here, we see a national debt in the tens of trillions of dollars, and we think 'hey, maybe we shouldn't spend a bunch more money that we don't have.' Here, we say something and we mean it. I get that, Ray Harman gets it, John Starnes gets it, but John Matheson and the Democrats don't.

     

    The Republican Party's healthcare plan will utilize and empower the free market by cutting the red tape that blocks interstate insurance exchanges. It will encourage and support both public and private investment in rural healthcare systems and the Veterans Administration. Because here's the thing, folks - the people who know what's best for your health are you and your doctor. Not me, or any other politician, or any bureaucrat in DC - just you and your doctor. Democrats want to force the government into that relationship. With your vote for [CANDIDATE NAME] and the other Republicans on your ballot this November, you can let them know - they can get right out of your business.

    Quote

    It's no surprise the Democrats have failed, flip-flopped and other wise forgotten the desires of American voters to uphold our moral fabric. The party of DOMA and DADT has now nominated a "moderate" Democrat, a "morman" who supports abortion and gay marriage (that's a statement I never thought I'd utter). These views aren't just extreme, dangerous, they challenge the moral fabrics of our communities and families, and the values of God and country this nation is founded on. And my friends, that's why this election is so crucial. If the Democrats achieve that magical D.C. "trifecta", capturing the White House and keeping the Senate and House, they will go hard cores on this assault on our values; they'll take away our gun rights, push gay marriage and homosexual issues in the minds of our children, and will give more money than over to Planned Parenthood so that the industry of taking innocent, unborn lives can increase year by year, in some form of "abortion on demand" system.

     

    In this election, John Matheson and the Democrats will try to pain themselves as the moderates; as we know, the party of flip-flopping on Iraq, on being for the war before they were against it, of being against the surge before they were for it, cannot clearly be trusted on defending our families and values. The Party that was so strongly for DOMA, for DADT in the 90s has led the push in cities like San Francisco, out of touch liberal states like Vermont and Massachusetts to adopt "civil unions", and therefore same-sex marriage. They won't stop with their control of the states tho, give Matheson and Reeves more control come February, and San Francisco would look conservative by the time the D.C. Democrats get done with our values.

     

    You G.O.P. Crusaders in Congress will not let it happen. We will defend your 2nd Amendment rights, the right to life, and the sanctity of marriage. If given a congressional majority, we will not pass a single one of the left wing's radical, and will support gun owners and the fire arms industry throughout the congressional session. We will pass National Concealed Carry Reciprocity, and work with states who wish to pass the ground-breaking "Stand your ground" laws, and we will defend the Castle Doctrine. Also, a GOP Congress will ban dismemberment and partial birth abortions, ban abortions after 20 weeks, and get the Hyde Amendment and Mexico City policies passed; we will strip dollars that Planned Parenthood uses for abortions, and we will work with the Senate Caucus to nominate and confirm Pro-Life, anti Roe. v. Wade judges to our federals courts to ultimately weaken and overturn that terrible, evil decision.

     

    With that being said, friends, could you consider chipping in? The RNC needs every dollar it can get to fight against radical liberals seeking to erode our rights and values; your financial support will help us elect Christian conservatives who not only respect and want to uphold our moral and societal fabric, but our values and rights. Thank you all, God bless you and our wonderful country!

     

    FUNDRAISER GALA - R.N.C. Chairman John D. Howe, Jr. (R-TN-07):

    Location: Houston, Texas

    Targeting: Energy Executives, Fiscal Conservatives, Executives and Businessmen, Republican millionaires, Bush & Starnes voters

     

    Quote

    Energy, Infrastructure. These are fields and industries, employing millions of Americans and creating so many jobs, as well as keep this country running, that are crucial to this country being the Greatest country in the world. Y'know, back when I was coming up, there were two parties who understood that, who understood the Oil and Gas companies, the construction companies, were our friends. They understood that infrastructure, that making sure our bridges, roads and dams were well-maintained was a key priority for this country. They understood that to let that fall by the wayside would see mediocrity, decay and unrest rise in this country. The two parties understood that to work with these industries was to work to protect our workers, and our futrue. But sadly, one of those parties have departed from that way of thinking. The Democrats, who believe the "Global Warming" hype train, do not care for keeping the industries of this country strong. They only care for increasing our dependence on foreign oil, cutting jobs in Oil and Agriculture with strangulating red tape, and taking dollars we need to fix our infrastructure and investing them in pitiful, wasteful pet projects that seem nice but will do nothing for this country.

     

    John Matheson is one of those Democrats. He's already told you that he wants to hike taxes on corporations, that he believes the overblown myth of Global Warming, a myth that will see precious jobs in oil, agriculture and coal cut. His infrastructure plan is lacking, just another Democratic waste. Sure, he back FUEL at the Pump, but he only did so due to huge public support and the GOP leading the way. He cannot be trusted with protecting our interests, our infrastructure and industries, and our jobs. He's just hot air in a suit, ready to seal out our workers and markets to foreign markets and liberal lies.

     

    Our Republican Party, our GOP of the 21st century, refuses to let them do so. We got FUEL at the PUMP  Act passed, saving tons for our citizens, and helping our Oil companies in the process, too, a bill that helped defend those industries while making sure we were staying forward-looking in our energy pursuits. And that's not all; A GOP Congress will pass, ASAP, access to restricted lands such as the ANWR, we'll pass legislation that works with all of our energy companies in a all-of-the-above approach to make sure we are creating jobs, stabilizing our economy and reducing foreign dependence on these key industries. We'll cut a vast, wide majority of the toxic regulations harming our energy companies, cut taxes and increase tax incentives so that not only can we hire more American workers and stabilize our economy, but so that we can increase their pay by increasing all of your revenues. We'll get the Infrastructure Bank for America Act passed, opening up millions and millions of dollars for revolutionary, new Infrastructure projects to truly rebuild this great nation, we'll get an infrastructure package that delivers things like Broadband internet and other necessities and updates to historical rural and undeserved regions, and we'll cut taxes, regulations, and increase grants and aid for our farms, from family farms to larger ones, and urge an increase in competition as well, so that America products go for top dollar on trade markets. A Republican Congress is a bright energy for the development of this beautiful country.

     

    With that being said, friends, could you chip in? Democrats, despite being the party of "hope and change" these past two years, have failed to deliver anything of substance these past two years, only instability with their 4 Speakers and division and gridlock with their waste of time with the various select committees. They have failed to put our crucial industries first. Give the Republican Party the funds we need to campaign harder than ever and take back Congress, and we will get it done; your donation helps us deliver big in some of the closest, most key races this fall. Any thing counts, anything helps. Thank you, god bless you all and this wonderful country!

    Narrator: The House Democrats. The biggest carnival show on earth.

     

    (As the viewer sees each chair stop, we see that a sign that mockingly says "Accomplishments". For Hamilton, there is nothing but questions marks. For Williams, it says "Started a political hack job special committee and opposed a successful troop surge." For Bauman, the sign says nothing, but we can see a milk carton with with his face under MISSING in big black letters. On Bauman's chair is an image of El Chapo Guzman, grinning menacingly.

They are taking a test; columns with the various columns show: ECONOMY, WAR ON TERROR, IMMIGRATION, CRIME, INFRASTRUCTURE, EDUCATION. The student in Blue speeds through the exam, not really caring what he puts down. The student in red takes his time, answers thoughtfully, and raises his hand. The student in blue peeks over, trying to steal some answers).

    (We look over the teacher's shoulder. On all columns, she gives the Blue student all Fs, and the Red student all As.)

     

    Narrator: It was the Republican Party who led from the minority, introducing legislation to cut gas prices and stabilize our energy markets (Democrats joined after they realized it was popular legislation), it was the GOP who introduced a comprehensive immigration and border patrol legislation, who introduced lower taxes for our families, job creators, and hard-working folks, who fought for our troops with an incredibly successful troop surge. The Democrats, well, they just led a Select Committee that belittled our leadership in the time of war.

     

    (The teacher hands back the grades; the Blue student frowns, points at the red student and screams, "it's all his fault!". The red student just shrugs and gets back to work.)

"trifecta", capturing the White House and keeping the Senate and House, they will go hard cores on this assault on our values; they'll take away our gun rights, push gay marriage and homosexual issues in the minds of our children, and will give more money than over to Planned Parenthood so that the industry of taking innocent, unborn lives can increase year by year, in some form of "abortion on demand" system.

     

    In this election, John Matheson and the Democrats will try to pain themselves as the moderates; as we know, the party of flip-flopping on Iraq, on being for the war before they were against it, of being against the surge before they were for it, cannot clearly be trusted on defending our families and values. The Party that was so strongly for DOMA, for DADT in the 90s has led the push in cities like San Francisco, out of touch liberal states like Vermont and Massachusetts to adopt "civil unions", and therefore same-sex marriage. They won't stop with their control of the states tho, give Matheson and Reeves more control come february, and San Francisco would look conservative by the time the D.C. Democrats get done with our values.

     

    You G.O.P. Crusaders in Congress will not let it happen. We will defend your 2nd Amendment rights, the right to life, and the sanctity of marriage. If given a congressional majority, we will not pass a single one of the left wing's radical, and will support gun owners and the fire arms industry throughout the congressional session. Also, a GOP Congress will ban dismemberment and partial birth abortions, ban abortions after 20 weeks, and get the Hyde Amendment and Mexico City policies passed; we will strip dollars that Planned Parenthood uses for abortions, and we will work with the Senate Caucus to nominate and confirm Pro-Life, anti Roe. v. Wade judges to our federals courts to ultimately weaken and overturn that terrible, evil decision.

    As a child of the 1940s, born fight before the "Baby Boomers", It's been interesting to see the economic and technological advancements this country has made. I remember especially being a boy, still being amazed by the County telephone lines, or the Army Jeep, among many other things. It's truly amazing what American hard-work, ingenuity and know how can do, how many lives it can change. Politicians every four years say how grateful they are for the American worker, but I really do not think they, or a lot of people for that matter, truly appreciate how much the millions of blue collar folks across this country have pushed it forward, through blood, sweat, tears and seemingly endless toiling.

     

    Despite this, our Blue Collar workers, folks in places like Flint, Michigan, to Cleveland, Ohio and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, are struggling. Despite their incredible hard work, the folks we call the "greatest generation" of this country are getting laid off, they live paycheck to paycheck as they look hard and long to find ways to feed their families. Why? Not only have the D.C. elites sold out our working class in return for cheaper foreign labor especially in places like China, but the process of big government has killed our economy; it's strangled it with "super regulations", sky high taxes. We don't care for innovation these days, we only care for the date that the boat or plane carrying the cheap, borderline slave manufactured products from Beijing arrives. I don't see this as a Republican or Democratic issue, my friends, because when workers in this country lose out and struggle, the victim is the American people; we lose jobs, we see homes and families destroyed, and our economy destabilized and prices for common-pace products go up and up.

     

    Make no mistake, while John Matheson may sell himself as the candidate most concerned with the plights of the American worker, it's just another act. Like how he flip-flopped on Iraq and failed to craft a coherent policy win the War on terror, he'll fail to lift the burden of the elites and the government from the chests of the American worker. He's already proven himself susceptible to the whispers of big city, tax and spend liberals like Reeves, Williams, and King, and he'll do it again as President, ultimately failing our working class.

     

    But not John Starnes. John will commit himself to not only protecting our country from the vicious foreign assaults on our economy and workers, but he'll usher in a era of economic success and stability never seen before in this country. As your President, Congressman Starnes will roll back that many legislative and regulative items that have hampered American success in fields like industry and shipping. He'll go toe to toe with China's intellectual and job theft, making sure our patents and I.P. are better defended, will expand American products and markets to more nations abroad, and will defend our jobs and our workers with expansive, comprehensive fair trade legislation. Furthermore, Congressman Starnes will combine the federal tax codes, simplifying an overly-complicated mess of a federal tax system so that all Americans pay their fair share, and not just our workers; He'll slash taxes for businesses big and small, increase deductions so that you can keep more of the money that you and your families depend on, and will increase the amount of federal aid and programs for our small businesses, so we can get to rewarding, and not punishing, small businesses, like the Democrats will seek to do.

     

    Folks, the bottom line is clear; John Starnes will make sure our hard workers have their jobs protected, stay employed, stay paid, so that our communities can flourish without a hitch
