“This morning I noted that we should primary Senators and Representatives on the left and right who refuse to back away from SOPA and Protect IP.”

I wonder if Eric knows that Sen. Snowe from Maine is not only pro-PIPA but has been a strong advocate of all forms of internet regulation. It was Sen. Snowe who introduced the concept of an “internet kill switch” with Sen. Rockerfeller a few years ago. She is an advocate of internet taxation despite the harm it would do to online commerce.

Sen. Snowe, of course, has a primary challenge from Andrew Ian Dodge, a strong opponent of SOPA/PIPA. In a recent statement he said the following:
“It worries me to see Congress pushing bills that will kill freedom of speech on the internet. It is a shame none of the Maine delegation are standing up for Mainers’ online rights. With the valued support of Maine voters, when I am in the Senate I will take a firm stand against internet taxation, censorship and any other government meddling in the online space.”

Andrew Ian Dodge, like many on RedState, has made some or all of his living from producing internet content whether with his blog or writing for sites like PajamasMedia.com He is well aware of the impact of both of these bills on those who make a living, a whole or part, from the internet. All of us who stand united against SOPA/PIPA should support Andrew for his vocal stand on these awful bills.

Well, I am not dead and have been busy at work on getting a website up. Citizens 4 Cain.

I know it is pretty early in the election cycle for the 2012 elections for the Presidency, but I feel that with the way the economy is going and the utter lack of business sense in DC today, we need someone like Herman Cain in the White House.

While he was in St Louis, I got to meet him at a Tea Party, and we got to chat a little bit, nothing serious, but got to know a little about him. While talking one on one, he is very sincere and well spoken. But when he gets up on a podium, he is a different man. And he commands the room or crowd like no one I have seen in a long time. He says what people like me and many in the Tea Party Movement have been saying over the past year and a half. He has been a proven problem solver in all the places he has been. The last was bringing Godfather’s Pizza from the brink of bankruptcy.

We need someone with business sense and someone that is a problem solver. And we need someone like that in 2012

Come on by the Citizens 4 Cain site, and join with others to see Herman Cain take the oath of office to become the 45 President of the United States of America.

And as I have never joined the service, I will do anything that I can to help them out. They are there to protect us and to keep us safe from those that do us harm. And that is the reason I joined up with Valour IT, it is the least I can do. Even if it is just a little bit to help the wounded soldiers that come home. And in some ways I am kicking myself for not joining up when I could have.

This song and video is what this whole Valour It is about. Remember that the soldiers are our brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, uncles, aunts, friends, neighbors. They are just like you and me, but have given their all for us. A majority come home safe and sound, some do not come home at all, and then some come home battered and bruised. And with a little token of appreciation to help those that come home, is something I think all of us can do. So please give a little to Valour IT.

The huge gains by the Republicans in the House and the gains in the Senate do not mean that our work is over.   This is just the beginning.  This is a long war that we need to win and we can not let up.

As the Tea Partiers and Conservatives are basking in the election wins, there are still those that want to take away our Liberties and Freedoms in the name of the “Good of the Country”.  We must not let that happen.

We need to keep the fire under the Republicans to follow the Constitution and the Enumerated Powers that constrain the Federal Government.  It is not time to let up or relax our mission.   We must keep the Republicans in line and take back the Senate and Presidency in 2012.

Tomorrow we can win and win big. We need to get out the vote and tell everyone what is at stake in this election. As I have precious said, this is no normal mid term election. This is a referendum on how Obama and the Democrats have led this nation. We can break the spending and taxing that have brought this country in the woes we are in now.

But we can not do this if you do not go out and vote and bring everyone of your friends along. We need to make this more than a wave but a tsunami.

Get out and vote, take the country back.

Let’s make a real change back to the Constitution and Liberty, and far away from the direction the Democrats have taken us.

It will be a wave or a tsunami, it is all up to you

On Tuesday, the American Public will have a referendum on Obama’s
administration and the Democrat’s control over the House and Senate.
This is no ordinary mid-term election, this is an election for the
future direction of our country. Do we want the same tax and spend
policies that the democrats have been using for the past 4 years –
policies that made the recession worse than it should have been? Or do
we want to go into a new direction?

The polls and much of the enthusiasm appears to be on the
Conservative’s side and big election gains for the Republicans. But do
not let this fool you into complacency, the Republicans have not won anything, yet. GOTV is our main goal this year, because the Unions and Democrats are putting a big effort in their GOTV, and using their old tactics. Make no mistake, we need to trounce the Democrats November 2nd.

With the Tea Parties and various other groups, more and more people
are getting involved and looking at what is happening in Washington, DC.
They bring the enthusiasm  needed – but we also need to channel that
enthusiasm into action at the polls. Preliminary reports from early
voting in many areas, indicates it is working. We must keep our foot on
the pedal; no let up on that accelerator.

If you look at many of the polls, the races are getting tighter
during the final week (I look at the polls with a grain of salt anyway),
they always do. We must not let the polls and the thought of the
inevitability of GOP gains distract us into relaxing our efforts. We
still need to get boots on the ground, and people phone banking, to let
voters know how important this election is.

It is up to us, not the pundits on TV and the radio. It is up to ‘We
the People’ to decide the fate of our country from this day forward. Do
we want to continue borrowing money from our kids’ future and putting
the country further and further into debt, or do we want to go back to
the limited Government our Founding Fathers wanted for this great
nation?

Saw some friends there. Eric Odom, Gateway Pundit, Jen Ennenbach of the St Louis Tea Party. And finally got to meet Kevin Jackson (The Blacksphere) and Andrea Shea King. Also saw Lloyd Marcus sing his songs that revved up the crown.

But the thrill of the night was meeting Herman Cain. I got to meet him before his speech and chit chat a little bit. He is a down to Earth person, but you can tell he has something more in him. And when you hear him speak, then you figure out. He has great leadership qualities and excellent voice to explain what the Tea party is and Conservatism, so that everyone can understand it. He could be the Republican candidate in 2012.

Ok, enough with the drama. Now that summer is over, we are getting closer to election time. And we need all hands on deck for the upcoming elections. The Republicans have a good chance to win back both the House and the Senate. It is not a done deal and the Senate will be a tougher cookie to crack, but it can be done.

Everyone that has been to a Tea Party or has been reading post all across the Right Blogospehere know what this elections means. It is not the normal mid term elections of the past. This is a referendum on Obama and the Democrats handling the economy and foreign policy.

And as we stand now, the Republicans have not won anything. Just posting and writing about it will do nothing if we do not have the boots on the grounds and get people to the polls on November 2.

GOTV will mean everything this year. And the Concord Project is a great place to find groups and find out where you can get involved in your area. Roots of Liberty is another good place to find out what is going on in your area and find places where you can help out.

It is time to get the people fired up and ready to go vote. The elections is little over a month away and we can not waste any time in getting things organized. The Time is now .

For a little inspiration I leave you with Ben Howe’s excellent video:
