Real Republicans

This is a guest editorial by Andrew J. Franke a long time friend and Marine corps Veteran. Andrew is a true non-partisan patriot he has served and bled for his country. He recently wrote me a letter that is the next installment on my blog. Please read this carefully as he is a man whose intelligence an opinion has long influenced me and my political career. "The political landscape of this country has remained unchanged for far too long. The government is controlled by large contributors to political campaigns and lobbyists with enormous budgets. The average American does not vote. This needs to change and not eventually but now. Republicans no longer represent the true constitutional values they used to claim as the core of their beliefs. So what do we do. We support a new party with honorable men. The Jefferson Republican party is the party I have chosen. They support the core values that will restore our economy and freedoms. We can no longer pretend that America is the land of the free. Just watch your local nightly newscasts, violence, poverty, debt, and a dollar that is failing and yet we are sending men materials and money overseas. Our trade deficit is massive because American industry is no longer the envy of the industrial world. All of these things need to be addressed by serious people. People not with re-election on their minds but with RESTORING America. IF we support them as a people re-election will not be an issue. We need to send a clear message to Democrats and Republicans that are part of the status quo that we no longer need or desire them in power. We need to nominate candidates that are for the core values we truly support and not pay lip service to. Men that will do what they say and pass laws that are free from pork belly politics. You yourself wrote about paying the American farmer not to grow grain when people are starving. How stupid is this? Couldn't those same moneys be paid for the grain to feed the hungry and free up money from other "Failing" government food programs. Bottom line Tom. You and I need to stop thumping our breasts and do something. Take a page out of what Ron Paul has done and reach out to people. Having tons of money is not necessary in the information age. The internet will provide us with a place we can economically spread our message and best of all people that agree will pass it on through their own, blogs, Websites and RSS feed. We can do something. So lets not just talk this time. Lets join the Jefferson Republican party and work hard to make it a force to be reckoned with. I want a commitment from you. I have supported you in your endeavors all of my life. Now I am calling in the favor, not for me but for the future of my country and my children." Mr. Franke has indeed supported me for many years and I am going to join him. Will you join us? Please let me know. You can visit the link Below as well.
