ROB MANESS

With the extraordinary Cruz vs. Trump battle for the GOP presidential nomination sucking up all of the political oxygen, it is easy to miss the fact that awesome conservative and retired Air Force colonel Rob Maness is running for the U.S. Senate in Louisiana.

Folks, please allow me to cut to the chase.  Our country is going to hell in a handbasket, fueled by GOP cowardice and an entire Democratic Party hijacked by anti-American zealots.  The only way we stop the horrific effects of Obama's insanity and corruption in both parties is to send rock-solid conservatives we can trust to Washington, candidates with backbones of steel who refuse to go along to get along.

Speaking of backbone, Maness's military awards and combat decorations include the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star, and the Air Medal.  I am pretty sure Maness will not be intimidated by RINOs, metrosexual Democrats, or Obama's bureaucratic henchmen in D.C.  Maness is like an oak tree, firmly and deeply rooted in the rich, fertile soil of his Christian faith.

When you cut through all the political deceptions, lies, and broken promises, it always comes down to sending character-driven representatives to Washington.  Rob Maness's record proves he fits the bill.  In plain language, Maness is one of us, folks – a real family, God, and country good guy.

I was extremely impressed when I met Rob during his 2014 run for the Senate – a strong conservative fighter, highly respected community leader, served 32 years in the military, husband, father of five, and grandpa of four.

It is not surprising that national conservative heavyweights and organizations are united in endorsing Rob Maness for U.S. Senate.  Those supporting Maness include Dr. Ben Carson, Sarah Palin, Dr. James Dobson, Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser, Conservative Campaign Committee, the Tea Party of Louisiana, Tea Party Nation, Tea Party Forward, the National Association for Gun Rights, and Special Operations Speaks.

Rather than listing all of Rob's leadership roles and achievements, I will say he has proven his competence at the local, state, and federal levels of government, an effective steward of citizens' tax dollars.  Please visit his website for details.

As with any conservative Republican who faithfully advocates for We the People, the GOP establishment is often displeased with and threatened by Maness.  Rob wears their discomfort with him as a badge of honor.

There is a down-to-earth everyman quality about Rob, driving his pickup truck around Louisiana, spreading the good news of traditional American principles and values: God, family, country, and the Constitution.  Please enjoy this entertaining 30-second TV ad in which Rob promises to wrestle the gators in D.C.

Here is an example of Maness's strong, decisive leadership regarding our national security.  In response to the jihadi attacks in Brussels, Maness advises Congress to fulfill its constitutional duty and finally declare war against the Islamic State.  Maness says, “[U]ntil we formally declare war, our enemies and objectives will continue to be unclear, and the American people will continue to be divided.”

C'mon folks, admit it.  Isn't Maness's manly stand for American leadership a refreshing contrast to Obama's and Kerry's apologize-for-our-very-existence and give-our-enemies-everything-they-want approach?

By the way, the Islamic terrorist attacks in Brussels hit a little too close to home for the Maness family.  The night before the attacks, Rob's and Candy's son flew out of Europe on military leave on an American Airlines flight.

According to a new Pew Research report, our country is undergoing a scary demographic shift.  Decades of allowing liberals to brainwash our kids and not encouraging immigrants to assimilate is taking America down a different path, far away from the country envisioned by our Founding Fathers.

The only way to ensure that the America we grew up with will be there for our grandkids and great-grandkids is to consistently send rock-solid conservatives who espouse traditional American principles and values to Washington.  In that regard, America desperately needs Col. Rob Maness in the U.S. Senate.  Please, let's help him folks.  God bless.

You can learn more about Rob Maness at his website.

We Won: Must Hold Their Feet to the Fire.

TeaParty-Sheriff-website.jpgMy lovely wife and I shared a victory toast and a kiss in front of the fireplace in the lobby of the hotel that we are staying in Colorado, upon the announcement that the GOP won the Senate. Our Conservative Campaign Committee team has been here for weeks working to elect Cory Gardner for U.S. Senate. Gardner won!

Folks, please do not get me wrong: I am elated that the GOP has won control of the Senate. Despite their faults, the GOP is closest to our principles and values. Also, we desperately needed to dethrone evil madmen Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader.

However, I must confess that it was annoying to watch Karl Rove on TV pounding his chest in victory about how he and his group pushed the Tea Party nut candidates out of the race. Rove had the nerve to say he and his people wanted the best electable conservative candidates. That simply is not true.

Chris McDaniel, to name one, in Mississippi was an awesome extremely electable Tea Party conservative who was pushed out of the race with GOP dirty tricks which included race-baiting. Yes, you heard me correctly. The GOP establishment machine engaged in the Democrat-gutter, tried and true, despicable tactic of race-baiting to screw McDaniel. I know. I know. You're saying, C'mon, Lloyd, that's in the past. We won. Celebrate and get over it. Sorry, folks. I expect better from our side.

Rove and his deep-pocketed homey’s strategy of the GOP keeping a low profile and letting Obama hang himself worked okay. Unfortunately, exit polling revealed that the GOP is still viewed unfavorably by a majority of voters. Given the horrors and scandals of the Obama regime, the Republican wave should have been a tsunami. What if the GOP had offered an agenda inspiring people to vote FOR them rather than AGAINST Obama? What if the GOP boldly articulated why conservatism is the best and most direct path for each and every American to achieve their American dream?

Two remarkable things happen this election that strongly suggest that blacks are open to hearing what Conservatism has to offer over Liberalism. A video of urban blacks in Chicago trashing Obama and the Democrats went viral.  My lifelong Democrat 86 year old black dad called from Maryland to tell me that he did not like any of the candidates, but voted Republican. Folks, that is huge. Dad has always believed that a vote for a Republican is a vote for the KKK. So something is up.

Republicans now control the House and the Senate. Praise God! Now what? Word on the political street is the GOP plans to give the Tea Party the finger.

Patriots, we must be more mobilized and engaged than ever. We must do everything in our power to push the GOP into doing what we worked our butts off for them to do: Stop Obama's Agenda!

D.C. insiders say that the GOP strategy is not to push back too soon or too hard against Obama's agenda as not to be called arrogant, aggressive and mean by the MSM. The game plan is to play nice with Obama as not to hinder our chances of winning the White House in 2016.

These D.C. insiders also say repealing Obamacare is impossible and the best that we in the Tea Party can hope for is for the GOP to fix it. Mitt Romney said upon the GOP winning the Senate an immigration bill would be top priority.  You see where this is headed folks? The GOP plans to go swishy on us and implement a Democrat-lite agenda.

We can not and will not allow them to get away with it. I am proposing that the united forces of the Tea Party launch “Operation Hold Their Feet to the Fire”. Every individual, group and organization must use their gifts, talents, skills and passion to force the GOP to do the right thing.

Folks, we have brilliant minds on our side. I have met many of you traveling on over a dozen national bus tours, attending over 400 tea party rallies. I challenge you to think of strategic ways to turn the GOP's agenda to our agenda; repeal Obamacare, secure our borders, fiscal responsibility, restoring our freedom and liberty and turn us back to one nation under God.

Ronald Reagan: “There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit.” Patriots, I am calling for an all hands on deck drill to save our country by holding the Republicans' feet to the fire. Frankly, I do not care which Tea Party group, organization or individual that leads the charge. Let's just get it done!

Everyone pulling together is how we (Conservatives) won big in 2010, shocking Washington D.C., despite being ignored by the MSM.

As I said, we are in Colorado, too busy campaigning to enjoy the world renowned hot springs. In celebration of the Republican wave, America's push back against socialism, we can relax a bit. Mary and I plan to enjoy a few relaxing therapeutic soaks in the sulfur smelling hot springs.

Then, we will be ready to pack our bags and hit the road on a “Hold Their Feet to the Fire Tour”. I have even written a soon to be released theme song.

I thank God for our victory. But, there is still much more work to be done; miles to go before we sleep.

Congrats patriots, taking the U.S. Senate is a major step in the right direction.

I don't know why, but I feel compelled to end with this video of Kate Smith singing “God Bless America”.

Lloyd-Marcus-in-snow2-560x420.jpgI had my first taste of Walleye in Michigan. Delicious. Folks up there are use to hearty meals. And man, does it get cold. I remember David and Dustin the Millennials on our Conservative Campaign Committee team walking on the snow covered frozen Lake Michigan in Petoskey. A gentlemen was way out there fishing through a hole he cut in the ice.

I met a lot of great patriots/Tea Party leaders while campaigning across the state -- Norm Hughes, Candy Gillman, Steve Mobley, doctors Linda and Cal Dykstra and Trucker Dan to name just a few.

Lloyd-Marcus-Mr-Royer-WWII-Vet-92yrsold-300x205.jpgI posed for a picture with Mr Roher, a WW II veteran at a tea party rally in Grand Rapids. Mr Roher was deeply concerned about the direction our country was going.

Hosts of the Joshua's Trail black conservative radio show out of Detroit drove to our tea party in Livonia. It was truly refreshing to meet courageous Christian black men who were fighting the good fight in Detroit, the belly of the beast. These brothers were enlightening their black listeners to the virtues of Conservatism and how they do not have to continue eating the crumbs that fall from the Democrats' table; awesome patriot brothers.

My most endearing Michigan memory happened at a tea party in Traverse City. An excited white woman in a wheelchair said she was a huge fan. Her adult daughter who brought her to the rally told a staffer that her mom was dying. She said her mom said that all she wanted to do was to meet Lloyd Marcus before she died. Folks, I was blown away. Then, I became extremely angry at the mainstream media and the Democrats for despicably branding the Tea Party a bunch of redneck racists.

I have shared my personal experiences to say that while Detroit is a liberal disaster, the rest of Michigan is pretty awesome.

There are good people, and good businesses, that deserve better treatment from their government. The socialist, big-government policies that destroyed Detroit are being inflicted on the rest of the state - whose values are sooo different from Detroit.

Many Michiganders feel that it is time for a new chapter in their state. Leading the peoples' charge is Terri Lynn Land running for the U.S. Senate.

Terri Lynn Land is currently trailing in the polls because a bunch of liberal billionaires dumped huge amounts of money smearing her. They want the socialist, big-government policies that destroyed Detroit imposed on the rest of the state.

Folks, we see the glaring hypocrisy of the Democrats in every race in which the candidate is a conservative woman. While promoting their bogus Republican war on women, Democrats launch brutal no-holds-barred attacks on conservative women candidates who run as Republicans.

My wife Mary and I have noticed that the Democrats' favorite buzz word is, “extreme”. Any candidate such as Terri Lynn Land who espouses common sense solutions, respects traditional values and celebrates God, family and country is branded “extreme” by liberal Democrats.

Their modus operandi is to spread lowering the bar nationally. All their liberal policies have failed miserably making a mess of Detroit; once a great city. And what does the Democrat candidate plan to do? If elected, he will implement the same proven failure politically correct liberal policies state wide, all over Michigan. Say no voters. Just say no!

Our Conservative Campaign Committee team has put together a TV ad to inform Michigan voters that they have a much better choice than the Obama clone, Gary what's his name.

The Democrat candidate boldly touts his support for all of Obama's tyrannical and job-killing initiatives; Obamacare, amnesty, oppressive taxes, destructive social engineering spending programs and mountains of absurd intrusive new government regulations on businesses.

Please give our TV ad a view and share it, helping us to spread the good news about Michigan's superior choice, Terri :

Folks -- just a quick side note I wish to share. My lifelong Democrat 86 year old black dad called me this morning from Maryland. He said he wanted to vote for the Conservative Party candidate but did not see one on his ballot. He only saw Republican, Democrat and Libertarian candidates. I explained that Conservative is not a political party. I instructed dad to research the Republican candidate to see if he is conservative.

Folks, this is huge because typically dad would, without thinking, vote for the candidate with a “D” beside their name. Dad is finally understanding that the conservative candidate is going to be more in-keeping with his Christian and mainstream principles and values.

If he lived in Michigan, Dad would really like and vote for Terri Lynn Land. http://bit.ly/1zlhCdP

Dad, the Dems, the Prospector and His Old Friend

prospector-rocker-box.jpgMy 86 year old preacher dad told me a great story. Surprisingly, it was a new parable rather than one dad forgot that he told me numerous times before.

Dad said a prospector worked his land digging for gold. Every Saturday, the prospector would take his gold/gold dust to town and cash it in. One Saturday, he bumped into an old high school friend who had fallen upon hard financial times. The prospector graciously invited his friend to bring a shovel and dig for gold on his land. Generously, the prospector told his friend that he could keep all the gold he uncovered.

Come Monday morning, the prospector's friend was a no show. The friend did not show up the entire week. Cashing in his gold on Saturday, the prospector saw and approached his friend, “What happened? I looked for you all week.” The friend replied, “Do you know how much a shovel costs these days?”

Dad burst into laughter at the trifling attitude of the prospector's old friend. I laughed with dad while seizing the opportunity to tell my lifelong Democrat father that the same trifling attitude is promoted by the Democrats disguised as compassion and is embraced by millions.

The prospector's behavior is Republican, offering his impoverished friend (the poor), not a handout, but a golden opportunity. He offered his friend the dignity, self-respect and joy of earning his own living with endless possibilities. Remember, the old friend was told he could keep all the gold he uncovered.

The old friend's behavior is that of an Obama, Democrat, Hollywood and MSM (mainstream media) indoctrinated entitlement junkie. How dare his rich prospector friend expect him to acquire a shovel. The prospector is obviously white, out-of-touch, racist, sexist and homophobic. This prospector seems like the kind of jerk who thinks it reasonable to expect all Americans to show an ID to participate in the American privilege of voting.

Upon further investigation, the filthy rich SOB prospector is probably Republican, Conservative and Christian. No wonder the insensitive selfish hate-filled jerk prospector expected his old high school friend to get a shovel without government assistance and show up for work.

Folks, the Democratic Party would place the prospector's old friend who lacked the initiative to acquire a shovel on a level just below sainthood, considering him to be the victim/hero in the story. This is the way Democrats view minorities and the poor; expecting very little, refusing to hold them accountable for any of their socioeconomic woes.

As a mater of fact, the less initiative and self-reliance the better. Democrats simply keep the barely-enough-to-get-by handouts coming, gin up class envy and hatred for the prospector; and promise to punish him. Their sheep who are in sync with their master's voice continue to vote Democrat.

If you dare suggest that people stop defrauding the government with false food stamp and disability claims; that blacks stop dropping out of school, shooting each other in epidemic numbers and stop having babies out of wedlock, the Democrats will vilify you. Their response is “Easy for you to say” you racist insensitive jerk.

The Democratic Party advocates lowering the bar culturally, morally and in every area of American life. The Left/Democrats deem any suggestion of holding people to a standard as mean-spirited, racist, judgmental and dare I say, Christian.

Back to the prospector -- the Left would argue that because the dirt road to the town where the prospector cashed in his gold was etched by wagon-wheels, horses and the foot steps of many, the mayor should confiscate the prospector’s gold and share it with everyone.

Remember when Obama scolded small business owners for taking pride in building their businesses? Obama said, “You didn't build that.”  Obama claimed that government built roads providing infrastructure for business to operate, thus making it only fair that he redistribute wealth. Deadbeats like the prospector's old friend stood up and cheered, “Obama!..Obama!”

Clearly, the prospector, the Republican, is the good guy in my dad's story. He showed real compassion for his old high school friend by offering him a “hand up” rather than a “handout”.

By addicting as many Americans as possible to government assistance, Democrats increase their political power. Their tried and true tactic is to brand the prospector as the devil, kick him in the teeth and encourage their ill-informed duped base to do the same. Insidiously evil.

For this reason, I am a black conservative/Republican.

Identity Politics: Fool Us Twice, Shame on Us

Obama-Hillary-560x310.jpg

The root cause of the major issues that are devastating America is Obama; an out growth of who he is as a human being, his lack of character and what he believes.

Listing all of America's woes that are directly caused by Obama would take up far too much of this article; the flood of infected and unskilled illegals, the spread of ISIS, the devastating fatal consequences of Obamacare, Ebola in the U.S., over 90 million unemployed, the disappearance of the 40 hours a week job, our failing economy and more.

Yes, I am going to be a bit tacky and say, I tried to tell y'all back in 2008, my black family, white friends and associates, but none of you would listen. I kept thinking, am I the one who is crazy? Will anyone even consider looking beyond his race and taking a good look at Obama, the man?

Instead, you verbally beat me up and called me an Uncle Tom for not going brain-dead with you and making an immoral racist decision to pull the level for Obama solely because he is black.

Well now look at cha. We have an insidious liar who hates America as founded and a blame-everyone-but-himself narcissist running our country. As our nation crumbles, everyone is running around asking like the Marvin Gaye song, “what's goin' on?”

Folks, Obama is what you get when you sell your soul to identity politics, placing surface appearances above character, substance and not properly vetting candidates.

And doggone it, it looks like many Americans are about to be manipulated into making the same stupid mistake again when Hillary Clinton throws her bonnet into the ring, running as the first female presidential candidate. The MSM will ignore all her scandals and disastrous policy failures. Hillary's gender will be the major qualifier for her to become leader of the free world. Sadly, millions of Americans will go brain-dead and vote for her, suckered again by identity politics.

The same way O.J.'s defense team worked black Americans into a frenzy against white America, causing millions of blacks to rally around Simpson while ignoring the fact that he practically beheaded the mother of his children, Democrats and the MSM will play America's women against America's men.

Come election day, the Democrats and MSM will have low-info voters believing that any man not voting Hillary Clinton for president is obviously a Neanderthal, a wife beater, an abortion clinic bomber or a Christian throwback chauvinist who desires to keep women barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen (without a dishwasher).

Rest assured there will be dudes guilt-ridden for being born with testicles who will become metro-sexual brain-dead zombies and vote for Hillary to prove they are not who the MSM and Dems say they are; the same way a lot of whites voted for Obama to prove they were not racist. Think my gender guilt prediction is over the top? The Left has successfully brain-washed many white kids into feeling guilty for being white.

My fervent prayer is that the number of us “thinking” Americans who will honestly access who Hillary is as a person, her character and the direction she plans to take our country will outnumber the knuckleheads and low-info voters.

Could anyone have imagined the crazy political times in which we now live in America? To look beyond surface appearances such as gender and skin color and select our leaders based on who they are inside and their vision for our nation is now considered extreme, racist, sexist and hateful. And yet, this is where the Left's political correctness has taken us in America today.

Despite six years of Democratic Party and MSM slander, lies and spin, at the heart of the Tea Party is decent patriotic Americans who seek to elect honest character driven candidates who will place the best interest of our country and the American people above personal gain and secret agendas.

I have been screaming this for years, folks. Character does matter!

My favorite teller at my bank is a middle-aged Hispanic immigrant. She and her husband came to America over 20 years ago and love this country. The other day, she expressed her sadness and frustration with the direction our country is going, low-info voters and political corruption.

The bank teller said her son was doing very well in a local school for special needs kids. For political agenda reasons, the state closed down the affordable school. Her options for educating her special needs son are priced through the roof.

I told her that the most disturbing and eye opening reality I have learned since getting involved; traveling the country working to elect conservatives (Chairman of the Conservative Campaign Committee) is that far too many politicians have agendas other than the best interest of We the People.

Call me corny. Call me naïve for expecting otherwise.

I would be remiss in not mentioning that during my travels, campaigning across America, I have been blessed to have crossed paths with real deal honorable conservative candidates; Joe Carr, Chris McDaniel, Ken Cuccinelli and Joe Miller to name a few. These are the good guys folks.

Patriots, we must do everything in our power to educate low-info voters so they will not be played again by political correctness; conned by Democrats and the MSM into voting identity politics over character and substance.

I have faith that America is strong enough to recover after enduring eight years of a far left radical empty black suit in the Oval Office. I am less confident in our ability to restore our great nation back to the vision of our Founding Fathers after several years of a Leftist empty dress at the helm.

4063910761?profile=originalAlice died. Ann B. Davis, who played the beloved housekeeper Alice, on the TV series, The Brady Bunch died Sunday. The devout and outspoken Christian 88 year old actress was an icon of a kinder gentler America when wholesomeness and goodness were celebrated. 

Today, we live in an anything goes America. For a good reason, the Bible says if a man does not work, he should not eat. And yet, the Obama Administration promotes and encourages government dependency resulting in an unprecedented 47 million Americans on food stamps and over 90 million Americans collecting unemployment; both government programs are riddled with fraud. 

More and more we are being forced to not just tolerate, but embrace behaviors which are an anathema to our Christian beliefs.  Those who dare to say, “no” to the Democratic Party and mainstream media's anti-Christian agenda are subjected to attacks from governmental agencies or threatened with the loss of their livelihood unless the accused submit to sensitivity training for reprogramming. The Obama regime iron-fist message is clear, either deny your Christian faith or suffer the consequences.

Clearly, this Administration is about lowering moral and behavioral standards, diminishing who we are as Americans.

Meanwhile, man-on-the-street interviews confirm that many are disengaged and are politically clueless to facts as basic as giving a correct answer when asked who is the vice president of the United States. The Obama Administration and MSM exploits the clueless masses by furthering every lie from our liar and chief and his henchmen.

Case in point. Talk about deja vu all over again, Susan Rice is all over TV claiming that we did not negotiate with terrorist for the release of Bergdahl which we clearly did.  This is the same Obama operative who spread the proven to be a lie narrative that the Benghazi attack was due to a video.

Unquestionably, the trade of Bergdahl for five extremely dangerous Taliban bad guys was a bad deal. The Obama Administration also broke the law in the process by going around congress. But then again, what else is new?

Also in the news, King Obama via his hit squad EPA will announce sweeping new restrictions on the coal industry; all in the name of fighting climate change. Thank God the coal industry is fighting back with lawsuits.

I have sited these few examples of Obama's fast and furious destruction of America. Anyone paying attention can see the almost daily Administration's unprecedented power grabs and repeals of our freedom and liberty.

The solution. Obama must be politically neutralized. How do we achieve it? We must send conservatives to Washington who are over the historic aspect of a black man in the White House and love their country enough to endure the Democrats' and MSM shock and awe assault on anyone who dares oppose Obama's anti-American, far left liberal and socialist/progressive transformation of America.

4063910825?profile=originalToday, June 3rd are extremely important primaries in which we can send two fearless committed conservatives to DC.

Running for U.S. Senate Mississippi is Chris McDaniel. McDaniel has been endorsed by Gov. Sarah Palin, Conservative Campaign Committee, Mark Levin, Tea Party Express, Laura Ingraham, the American Conservative Union, FreedomWorks, Club for Growth, Senate Conservatives Fund, Madison Project, Family Research Action PAC, the Tea Party Patriots Citizen's Fund, Young Americans for Liberty and countless other conservative leaders and organizations. 

Fearless fighter conservative Steve Lonegan is running for U.S. Congress New Jersey. Lonegan supports full repeal of Obamacare. He will fight to repeal the Dodd-Frank Law that justifies future bailouts with intense job-killing regulations on the financial industry. Lonegan opposes Common Core, new federal gun control laws and taxpayer funded abortions.

4063910775?profile=originalSteve Lonegan has been endorsed by Gov. Sarah Palin, Conservative Campaign Committee, Tea Party Express and Gun Owners of America PVF 

Alice died, as did a little bit more of what has made this extraordinarily successful experiment called America great.

Winning these primary elections are crucial steps towards taking Alice's and our America back.

839299533?profile=RESIZE_480x480I shot the music video for my song, “We Are Americans”. Between takes while the director was setting up a different camera angle, I was on my mark on the set. I thought, “Wow, can you believe this?” For over a year, I have been seeking the right production company and funding to produce this video. Suddenly, I have a talented director shooting my music video at no expense. Praise God!

A production company approached me about having my own TV show; the premiere show is coming soon.

For seven years, I have been trying to build a new $30 million dollar arts and performance center in my small town, stifled by Democrat city commissioners who hate me because of my Tea Party involvement. We are not seeking funding from the city, merely their support (permits and etc). As you can imagine, many times over the past seven years, I thought my project was dead. Suddenly, the city is open to working with us.

Just as God sent Solomon knowledgeable men to help him build the temple, I have a master developer with 50 years of experience, architects, engineers, attorneys and environmental experts on my team; not costing me a dime.

After years of seeming to have to struggle for every move forward, suddenly, things are falling into place without me pressing to make it happen.

What has brought me such favor and good fortune? The answer is faithfulness. I did not have a brilliant master plan for success. Year after year, I simply did whatever God put in front of me to do; no matter how big or how small. With maximum preparedness and effort, I walk through each door that “God” opens for me.

Brother and sister patriots, this is how we take back America from this tyrannous monster government that is devouring our God-given freedom and liberty. Faithfulness is how we push back the infectious evil pandemic cultural rot carried by this Administration infecting our land; particularly the minds of our children.

Regardless of how hopeless and dark things may appear, regardless of how much the Democrats and mainstream media pound on their chest in celebration of the death of the Tea Party, we MUST remain faithful; continue storming the walls of the Obama regime.

Come hell or high water, we patriots MUST remain faithful. Keep blogging. Keep writing books. Keep rallying. Keep training conservative candidates. Keep teaching classes on the Constitution. Keep saying, “No!” to political correctness. Keep praying. Keep working to elect conservatives. Keep educating low-info voters to the truth. Keep politically pushing back against the bullying and tyranny of Obama via his political thug henchmen (IRS, DOJ, NSA and etc).

When we are faithful, God is faithful to bless what we do.

Founding Father, Samuel Adams said it best. “It does not take a majority to prevail...but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.”

We must remain responsibly “irate”; not passively accepting our president acting like a king, tyranny and government bullying us as the new normal.

Patriots, I realize that sometimes you may be weary and discouraged. Please believe me when I say that faithfulness is the key.

If we remain faithful, suddenly, we will witness a great turnaround; a restoration of freedom and liberty in America.

The Answer to Rush Limbaugh's Question

4063903772?profile=originalTraveling down I-95 headed home to Florida from visiting Mary and my parents in Maryland and West Virginia, I found myself yelling in frustration at my radio. Rush Limbaugh asked who gives the Left power to silence opposition, control speech, get people fired or ordered into sensitivity training? Rush rattled off numerous examples to prove his point including a mere 50 leftist student protesters at Rutgers successfully forcing Condoleezza Rice to back down from giving their commencement speech. 

Who gives the Left such power? I yelled, “We do!”

By the way, while in the West Virginia, I attended Mary's dad's 82nd birthday party. Many family members were in attendance. We had a wonderful time of laughter and love. I was the only black person. There was not the slightest vibe of racial tension in the air. I believe such is the state of race relations between a majority of Americans, except for those who despicably promote racial division for personal and political gain (Democrats).

Back to Rush's question. Who gives the Left so much power? Much of the Left's power comes from the mainstream media which is mostly liberal and totally in sync with the Democratic party's socialist/progressive agenda. The MSM functions as the Left's “hit men” ready to high tech lynch any and all challengers.

We can not do much about that. But, we can control our response. While I have written about this on countless occasions, my points bear repeating. Stop allowing the Left to set the rules of engagement and stop helping them beat up on our challengers.

When people on our side (conservatives) misspeak, misquote a stat or make a clumsy innocent comment, I will not sing in harmony with the Left's choir; calling the conservative an idiot -- nor will I submit to the Left's demands that the targeted conservative be denounced. To do so is, in essence, providing aid and comfort to our enemies.

Frustratingly, both sides of the political street expect conservatives to be as perfect as Jesus Christ. Meanwhile, Democrats are permitted to make any cruel, evil, outrageous or unsubstantiated claim necessary to further their cause. Heck, Obama repeatedly told the American people a bold face lie to pass Obamacare , for the most part, without consequence.

While we function in a state of constant fear that a conservative may utter a single word for the Left to take out of context to use against us, Democrats' rules of engagement allows them to boldly function from the position that no tactic is too low in their quest to defeat conservatives and implement the socialist/progressive agenda. Therefore, Democrats consider lying to the American people, millions losing their health care, denying medical care to kids with Cancer and slandering millions of decent patriotic Americans in the Tea Party all fair game.

For example. Remember when Congressional Black Caucus Rep Andre Carson made the irresponsible outrageous claim that the tea party would like to see blacks “hanging on a tree”?

Where was the push back from the MSM and calls for Democrats to denounce Rep Carson? Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson sent a fund-raising email claiming that the “T” in tea party stands for the burning cross of the KKK.  Why did we not see the same pressure and 24/7 coverage the MSM applies to Republicans; demanding that Grayson apologize and calls for Democrats to denounce him?

The MSM embraces the claims of Democrats, who have never attended a single tea party, that the rallies are the equivalent of KKK meetings. As a black who has attended over 400 tea parties nationwide, the MSM rejects my on the scene eyewitness report to the contrary.

Remarkably, after five years without evidence proving their accusation to be true, the Democrats and MSM have doubled down on their claim that the Tea Party, the Republican party and all opposition to Obama is motivated by racism.

Our side has been advised to surrender to the Left's branding of us and implement our own Democrat-lite versions of the Left's agenda to prove that we are not racist – illegal immigration, denounce the repeal of Obamacare and exempt minorities from showing a photo ID to vote to name a few. So this is where we are – allowing Democrats and the MSM to dictate how we are allowed to fight; what we can and can not say – which battles we are allowed to fight.

And yet, we eagerly rush to blogs and media microphones to beat up on our courageous conservative freedom fighters whenever they make a mistake.

Sarah Palin is a prime example of which I speak. Say what you will about Pailn, but from day one, she has been an unwavering bold, strong and committed voice, pushing back against the tyranny of the Obama regime. Now, do you think I would ever help the Left beat up on Sarah? Borrowing a phase I heard my patriot brothers and sisters say while in New Jersey, “Forget about it!”

Then, there is Cliven Bundy. While Bundy may or may not have had all his legal ducks in a row, or knew how to deal with a hostile media, I tip my hat to the man. Bottom line, Bundy knew government was hijacking more and more of our freedoms and said, “No!” That takes guts folks because history confirms that “freedom ain't free”. Bundy is paying a price that many are unwilling to pay. Many sheepishly go along with the program (the government incrementally taking over every aspect of our lives) rather than risking an IRS audit or a bogus reason to be thrown in jail.

Who gives the Left their power? We do, every time we surrender.

While visiting in Maryland, I was blessed with another cherished chat with my dad who just celebrated his 86th birthday. His mind is as sharp as ever. Praise God! Dad is Chaplin emeritus for the Baltimore City Fire Dept. He only speaks at special events.

Dad said he was called on the carpet by a department official after a recent event. One highly offended individual at the event complained that dad ended his prayer with, “in Jesus name”.

Dad told the official that he could no more deny Jesus than he could deny that he is black. Note, Dad did not apologize, beg for forgiveness or vow never to do it again. The official let it go.

Who gives the Left their power? We do.

4063887108?profile=originalI suspect that many of you share my frustration with wimpy Republican candidates; afraid to embrace the Tea Party, afraid to stand up for conservative principles and values, afraid to stand up for the law, afraid to push back against bogus allegations of racism for not rubber stamping Obama's fast and furious power grabs and attacks on our freedoms.

My dad taught me that a “real man” takes a stand and does the right thing, ignoring critics. He also does the right thing went nobody is watching.

Well, there is a real man conservative running for congress in New Jersey who is not afraid. His name is Steve Lonegan. Talk about a breath of fresh air, Lonegan has been fighting the good fight for conservatism in New Jersey politics for 30 years. Yes, you heard me correctly, I said New Jersey.

Though he put up a good fight, Lonegan was defeated in his run for U.S. Senate by the overwhelmingly well-funded Democrat Cory Booker. Oprah and her Hollywood posse pumped millions into that race for Booker. Still, there was a bright spot. Despite mega Hollywood outside funding, Lonegan strongly defeated Booker in the 3rd district which is where he is now running for congress.

Now get this folks. Standing on conservative principles, Lonegan won the 3rd district by the best numbers of any Republican in the last decade.  Mitt Romney lost that district. It is my firm belief that when presented unfiltered by liberals, boldly and confidently, conservatism wins the hearts and minds of a majority of voters.

Sadly, far too many Republican candidates and the GOP establishment drink the Left's Kool-Aid that we must tone down our message; in essence, become Democrat-Lite to win elections. Now, ask yourself. Why would the Left want to help Republicans/Conservatives win elections?

Conservative congressional candidate Steve Lonegan must defeat the liberal New Jersey Republican establishment's candidate MacArthur in the primary; well-funded with millions.

The New Jersey GOP establishment wants a big government liberal in office. Pure and simple.

Contrast that with Lonegan who is committed to upholding the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, low taxes and reducing the size of government. One could say that Lonegan epitomizes the liberal wing of the GOP establishment's War on Conservatism -- the GOP recruiting wealthy RINO candidates around the country to run against conservatives.

MacArthur says he supports government funded low income housing to bring diversity to neighborhoods. Sounds like Obama, right? Lonegan has no problem with diversity, but is opposed to achieving it via government social engineering programs.

MacArthur has called Lonegan “too right wing”. Here are Lonegan's goals which the GOP establishment candidate considers too right wing. Lonegan will fight to repeal Obamacare, repeal Common Core's intrusion into our kid's education, see the repeal of Dodd-Frank and dismantle the IRS. Lonegan is in great company. Ronald Reagan was also considered too right wing.

While his opponent runs with a war-chest of millions, Lonegan is the Tea Party candidate, running on ideology. Wow, what a concept and how gutsy. When other Republicans were distancing themselves from the Tea Party, Lonegan helped to organize the first major Tea Party rally in Piscataway, New Jersey, April 15, 2009.

Lonegan's strategy for victory is to keep his grassroots army energized and mobilized; the same patriots who pushed him over the top to win the 3rd district in his bid for the Senate. Lonegan has high name recognition.

As Chairman of Conservative Campaign Committee, I have jumped aboard the Lonegan Express for Congress in New Jersey. Can you imagine the impact of a real man conservative elected in New Jersey? Awesome!

The Beat Goes On: Opposing Obama is Racist.

4063874355?profile=originalAlas, another reporter asked me the same question I have been repeatedly asked for the past five years. “As an African American, why are you a member of the Tea Party?” It dawned on me to ask the reporter, “If you are a thinking patriotic American, why are you NOT a member of the Tea Party?”

It is stunning that reporters can not see the absurdity and racism against white voters in their assumption that Tea Party membership (push back against Obama's agenda) equals racism.

For the first time in U.S. history are Americans required to submit to their president's agenda or suffer the mainstream media and Democratic party branding an “R” on their forehead for racist? Does our president's skin color repeal our right to disagree with government?

The MSM and Democratic party declaring all opposition to Obama's agenda racist is a despicable divisive tactic. They are exploiting Obama's skin-color to further their socialist/progressive agenda (full court press hostile government takeover of our lives).

Another question repeatedly asked by reporters is, “If the Tea Party is not racist, why are its members mostly white?” I reply, “Could it be that a majority of black voters are ill-informed, clueless and/or racist? Why are you making the Tea Party responsible for blacks not showing up?”

In 2008, when I heard presidential candidate Barack Obama tell Joe-the-Plumber that he wanted to spread the wealth around, I knew Obama was a socialist and the wrong man to lead my country.

To my utter amazement, who Obama is as a human being and his plan for America was totally irrelevant to my family, friends and 96% of black voters including some black conservatives and Republicans. It was a black code thing. Support the brother no matter what.

My decision to campaign and vote against Obama due to his far left radical associations, pro infanticide voting record http://bit.ly/1cIIVSp and socialistic vision for my country made me an outcast and a traitor to my race. Is there a monolithic “racist” black vote? You bet there is. Black racism is as evil and unacceptable as white racism.

White liberals were equally outraged that I dared to judge Obama by the content of his character rather than the color of his skin. White liberal paragons of fairness, tolerance and self-proclaimed champions of minorities called me a “stupid self loathing n*****” for not voting for Obama.

Along with millions of white Obama voters shocked and outraged over his unprecedented takeover of the auto industry, banks and repeated ignoring of the Constitution, I joined the Tea Party.

The MSM and Democratic party are insisting that we surrender our will and our country. They demand that we act like brain dead obedient supplicants of King Obama, less we risk public humiliation charged with racism. Heaven forbid.

Hall of Fame baseball player Hank Aaron is the latest black celeb to call opposing Obama equal to being a member of the KKK. http://bit.ly/1k17bSY Hank, I love you bro. But your accusation is racist, evil and beneath you.

How are you, Mr Aaron, suddenly able to read the hearts, minds and intentions of the entire GOP and millions of Americans in the Tea Party? Can you not see how insidiously evil, intellectually vacant and tyrannical it is to brand all opposition to the president's agenda racist?

And yet, to silence the GOP and conservatives, the mainstream media and Democratic party continues to promote the ridiculous narrative that “opposing Obama is racist”. This tactic has successfully rendered most of the GOP impotent, cowering in their boots, fearful of that hot “R” brand on their foreheads. Many well-intentioned Americans have been silenced.

I submit that we conservatives and Republicans rip the racism branding iron from the hands of the MSM and Democratic party and point it in their direction. They are the true racists.

White America, when the left calls you a racist for pushing back against socialism, let it roll off your back like water off a duck. America is far too precious to allow it to be destroyed (fundamentally transformed) by the MSM and Democratic party's use of racial intimidation, race baiting and race exploitation. We can not allow ourselves to be silenced.

The MSM and Democratic party have no problem with setting back national race relations, polarizing Americans along racial lines to implement their mission of government controlling every aspect of our lives.

To defeat the MSM and Democratic party, you must support and vote for conservatives beginning with the 2014 elections.

We can and we must take back America. http://bit.ly/1oM2zVm

My Conservative Adventure

4063775651?profile=originalLike millions of Americans I was deeply saddened and frustrated that Terry McAuliffe, a dishonorable man propped up by dishonorable people won over Conservative Republican Ken Cuccinelli in the tightly contested race for governor of Virginia.

Talk about birds of a feather, the man who told the biggest lie ever told by a U.S. president to the American people, (if you like your plan and doctor, you can keep them) stumps for McAuliffe.

Then, there are the Democrats, Republicans and mainstream media figuratively placing a “Wanted Politically Dead or Alive” bounty on Ted Cruz for leading the movement to defund the monstrous Obamacare. Yes, I have been in the thick of it for most of this year.

Taking a brief break from my travels trying to get conservatives elected, I flew to Baltimore to visit my 85 year old dad.

A young black man drove the shuttle bus from the airport to the car rental location. Wow, he was awesome. He took his job seriously. Like a general he politely delivered orders which insured everyone’s safety and comfort. He said, “Ladies and gentleman, please bear with me. My job is to get you to your destination safely.” Feeling his commitment, the crowded passengers gave him a hearty round of applause. A lesser person would think, I am only a shuttle bus driver. To this young eagle, his job was obviously his ministry. I tipped him well.

My time with dad was wonderful. He is the pastor of four churches. As he passionately shared a highlight from the sermon he preached that Sunday, I thought, “Thank you God. At 85, dad still has it.” I felt extremely blessed.

A lifelong Democrat, Dad challenged me about the wisdom of “my” Republicans shutting down the government. I told Dad all the facts that he will never hear on his beloved CNN; Obama inflicting unnecessary pain on the American people during the shutdown to make Republicans look bad. To make Republicans look bad, Harry Reid rejected the idea to fund children's cancer research through the government shutdown.

As for the Democrats bogus claim that the poor will suffer and die if we do not continuously raise the debt ceiling, I informed Dad the government wastes 42 billion dollars a year.

Dad mentioned how God is being banned from the public square. He feels political pressure to embrace same sex marriage. He said, “They have come out of the closet and we are being forced into the closet.”

I explained how Obama is fundamentally transforming America into liberal's socialist/progressive dream. His agenda which includes same sex marriage, late term abortion, amnesty for illegals, gun control, addicting as many Americans as possible to government assistance and redistribution of wealth is strongly supported by the Democratic Party, Hollywood and the mainstream media.

All who dare oppose the Administration's agenda are branded haters and publicly humiliated by pundits and the mainstream media. Obama uses government agencies such as the IRS to punish those he perceives to be his enemies.

This lead to dad and I discussing the claim that the Tea Party is racist. I told dad that it was all a despicable infuriating lie. I shared about the terminally ill white woman I met at a Tea Party whose daughter told a staffer that her mom said all she wanted to do was to meet Lloyd Marcus before she died. Dad was stunned.

I shared about the white cowboy and his wife with their two adopted black babies at a Tea Party.

I told dad that I called NAACP, president Ben Jealous a despicable liar during a TV interview for claiming to have seen signs which read, “Lynch Barack Obama” and “Lynch Eric Holder”. If such signs existed, the media would have exploited the images to the max to further their evil irresponsible narrative that the tea party is racist. To date, no one on the planet has seen the two signs other than Ben Jealous.

Obama has been lying, pulling the wool over American's eyes for five years. Dad said something that gave me hope. He said, “The truth always raises.” Obama's approval and trust poll numbers are plummeting.

Back home in Florida, our house sitter was scheduled to pick me up from the airport in my car. My car broke down at the airport. The tow truck driver was a young Hispanic man married with two very young children. He was a low info voter with an attitude reflective of Obama's view of America.

He expressed bitterness against the rich and even said his skin-color was keeping him from succeeding.

My insurance covered the cost of the tow. Still, I gave him a generous tip which opened the door for me to bless this misguided young man with a brief lecture. “Look, forget that skin-color crap. Just pursue your dreams.” He nodded and said, yes, he would.

All my car needed was a new battery. The opportunity to positively impact the life of that young father (tow truck driver) was worth the inconvenience; a rewarding end to my conservative adventure, visiting Dad in Maryland and home to Florida.

4063768005?profile=originalHello! GOP! Anybody home? In case you guys in DC do not know, there's a gubernatorial race happening in Virginia in a week. While our guy Conservative Republican Ken Cuccinelli is amazingly holding his own, in terms of campaign spending, the Democrats are kicking our butts.

Meanwhile, We the People, grassroots across America are passionately engaged and have made the race tightly competitive. Remarkably, polls show the Virginia race down to 1%. Turnout will be the deciding factor.

For those of you unaware, I am Chairman of Conservative Campaign Committee. Showing my age, do you remember the TV show, “Have Gun Will Travel” starring Richard Boone as Paladin? Think of me as a Paladin armed with the Constitution, traveling the country delivering political justice.

We get involved in key races which have national repercussions. Our goal is to restore America back to the vision of our founding fathers; individual liberty and freedom. Our game plan is quite simple, elect as many Conservatives as possible.

Battered, scared and outspent in the Lonegan race, we have licked our wounds and dived head first into helping conservative Republican Ken Cuccinelli defeat the hardcore liberal Democrat candidate for the governorship of Virginia.

Here is what our independent expenditure campaign is doing in support of Cuccinelli. We are heavy on newscasts but also have bought NBC's Sunday Night Football, the World Series, FOX & CBS NFL Football, College Football, and the Sunday national political news shows (Face the Nation, Meet the Press, This Week, and Fox News Sunday). As you can imagine, these media buys are expensive. Such is the political arena in which we are forced to fight.

With the Virginia gubernatorial election only a week away, Democrats are staying true to their play book. Our Liar and Chief will campaign with the Democrat candidate this weekend and New York Mayor Bloomberg has funded a nearly $2 million ad blitz smearing our conservative candidate, Cuccinelli.

FYI folks, Ken Cuccinelli was the first Attorney General in the country to sue the federal government over Obamacare. A firm believer in individual freedom and limited government, Cuccinelli thinks Obamacare violates both principles. Do you see why we need this guy to win folks?

I am extremely excited and proud of the the work our team at Conservative Campaign Committee is doing. Preparing for the home stretch, our Ms Lulu is fired up as well as her call-from-home volunteers. Please check out the latest TV ads we have produced supporting Cuccinelli.

With little help from the GOP, it is up to us, We The People.

Well folks, how does it feel to be called stupid, crazy, extremist, racist and terrorist for standing firm for values and principles which most Americans have held and continue to hold dear? Such are the rantings coming from liberal media and Washington elites about the Tea Party.

Word on the political street is GOP polling has tanked because they foolishly listened to the wacko Tea Party lead by toxic idiots Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and Sarah Palin.

So to win an approving pat on the head from DC elites and the liberal media, conservative politicians and the Tea Party must offer their unconditional surrender to Obama's socialist/progressive fundamental transformation of America agenda. And for good measure, the Tea Party must abandon their friends Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and Sarah Palin; burning them in effigy.

Regrettably, too many politicians on our side have drank the kool-aid, abandoning Conservatism in hope of winning a little love from liberals.

4063766278?profile=originalThis is why Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli's rock-solid conservative platform is extremely courageous.


Readers of my articles are well aware of how much I believe character matters when electing leaders. Awarding great power to someone who lacks a conscience is insane. Had the liberal media paid more attention to Obama's character rather than insisting that his skin-color exempts him from the standard vetting process, America would not be in a mess which threatens the vision of our founding fathers.

For those of you who still think character does not matter, check out this list of ways Obama tried to inflict unnecessary pain on the American people; using them as mere pawns, acceptable collateral damage in his vendetta to destroy his Nemesis the Republicans and the Tea Party.
http://bit.ly/1byUEV7

Despite all the bad press, and the Administration along with their liberal media cheering section all pounding on their chests in victory like King Kong, the Cruz, Lee and Palin revolt against Obamacare reignited the Tea Party. Patriots are fired up!

Electing Ken Cuccinelli governor of Virginia will be another desperately needed fighter on the front-lines to stop Obamacare.


Fighting Obamacare from the beginning, Cuccinelli was the FIRST Attorney General in the nation to file a lawsuit to have ObamaCare ruled unconstitutional by the courts.

Cuccinelli's stellar political record speaks for itself. Here are a few little known facts which further illustrate the character of the man.

Thomas Haynesworth is a wrongfully accused black man who spent 27 years in jail for 3 rapes. New DNA testing technology proved Hayesworth innocent of one of the rapes and revealed the guilt of a look-a-like. No DNA was available from the other two rapes. Upon reviewing the evidence, Cuccinelli believed Haynesworth was innocent and went to bat for him which won Governor McDonnell's support for Haynesworth's parole. However, Haynesworth would still be branded as a registered sex offender and have to report to a parole officer.

Such injustice was unacceptable to Cuccinelli. Again, he went to bat for Haynesworth by going to the VA Court of Appeals and argued Haynesworth’s innocence. The Court of Appeals found Haynesworth innocent of the two crimes, despite the lack of DNA evidence.


But wait, but wait, how could this tale of compassion and determination to seek justice for an innocent black man be true? Haven't we been told that all white conservative Republicans are secretly members of the KKK?

With the Virginia election for governor less than two weeks away, the Democrats continue to spend millions spreading lies about Cuccinelli. One such lie claims Cuccinelli is anti-woman. The truth is the polar opposite. Cuccinelli opposes the numerous infringements on our constitutional freedoms built in Obamacare which includes forcing taxpayers to fund abortions; government mandated betrayal of citizens religious convictions. Liberals have despicably spun his opposition to Obamacare to mean he hates women.

The truth is, Ken Cuccinelli has a proven track record of heroic advocacy for women. While in college at UVA, Cuccinelli was moved by a sexual assault on a female fellow student. He and a few others started a sexual assault awareness program; The Sexual Assault Fact and Education (SAFE) group.


Sex trafficking of young girls is growing rapidly in Virginia and throughout America. As Attorney General, Cuccinelli started from the ground up to make the VA AG’s office the center hub of efforts, working with law enforcement agencies across VA to crack down on sex trafficking.


So here we go again folks, a real stand up guy fighting for the rights of We The People being trashed by the Democrats and their media buddies; attempting to Cruz, Lee and Palin him as yet another Conservative nut case.

Please do not allow them to get away with it. This time, let's make sure the good guy wins.

Ken Cuccinelli for governor Virginia.

The Tea Party: Last Hope for America

4063764177?profile=originalMary read it out loud from her computer, “Booker Wins!” The news hit me like a punch in the gut. Despite months of intense campaigning, making remarkable gains in the polls and rallying the Tea Party, far left radical liberal Democrat Cory Booker beat conservative Republican Steve Lonegan for the New Jersey U.S. Senate seat.

The cold reality is Booker's $11.2 million war chest vs Lonegan's $1.35 million. Still, the race was much closer than panicked Democrats expected. Lonegan boldly touted conservative principles. He outperformed Mitt Romney's Nov. 2012 vote totals in most New Jersey counties.

On election day, I felt a bit yucky, fighting a cold and tired. Booker's win added to my yuckiness. Camped out on the sofa, I watched a TV show titled, “The Book of Manning”, a documentary about the Manning family and their amazing football legacy.

Folks, that TV show helped to get me through the night. It reminded me of what I am fighting for, an American ideal. I am fighting to preserve an America in which striving for excellence, working hard and trying to do the right thing is rewarded.

My involvement in the political arena goes far beyond politics. It is about two opposing visions for America and what it means to be an American.

Booker, like his idol Obama, seeks to transform America into a nation where entitlements reign supreme, achievers are demonized, standards are lowered and mediocrity is spread equally; a land of baby daddies and welfare checks.

Democrats feel morally justified in their relentless efforts to redistribute wealth. They dismiss achievers as mere “winners of life's lottery”. Hogwash! Biographies of Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Peyton, Eli and Archie Manning and countless others confirm that superior performance is birthed out of a superior work ethic.

Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives – choice, not chance, determines your destiny.” Aristotle

As I stated, we are in a war of two opposing ideas; striving for and celebrating American exceptional-ism vs a gimme-my-government-handout America.

Washington elites on both sides of the political isle have launched an all out assault to destroy the Tea Party and the lawmakers who represent our principles and values.

However, the reality is that thanks to the Tea Party, Steve Lonegan earned the highest percentage of the vote for any Republican candidate for Senate in New Jersey in the last dozen years. I am extremely proud of you folks. Thank you very, very much.

The closeness of the Senate race confirms that conservatism does resonate with voters when properly articulated. We lost because Booker had $11 million to smear Lonegan and sell lies to masses of low-info voters. Pundits are erroneously blaming the Tea Party.

We, the Tea Party are the instruments of real change in DC. Quite frankly, Washington elites are appalled by our arrogance. Who do we Tea Party yahoos think we are trying to make demands on them?

Patriots, I wish to send out a clarion call to stand strong in your commitment to preserving the freedoms we have left and restoring those we have lost. Also, it is vitally crucial that you remain loyal and defend our representatives Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee with every fiber of your being. Without their courageous voices championing our mission, the battle for America is easily lost.

As I stated, watching the Manning Family documentary gave me hope. It was about a young man who worked very, very hard to be the best football player he could be. But his greatest desire was to be a good dad to his sons. Without pressuring his sons to following in his footsteps but simply leading by example, both Peyton and Eli embraced the family work ethic which has lead to pro football excellence. Their mom was loving and supportive.

Laugh, poke fun and call it “Leave it to Beaver” if you like, but it is the kind of America I miss and see swiftly slipping away.

Just an observation, Archie Manning was a live in father rather than a baby daddy with numerous out of wedlock births resulting from his sperm donations.

Hang in there Tea Party. Though they slander you with false accusations of racism, in reality, you are the last hope for America.

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Freedom Will Ring Tomorrow!

4063755162?profile=originalThis is it folks, the New Jersey special election for U.S. Senate, Wednesday, Oct. 16th. After months of campaigning, it all comes down to voter turn out.

In response to Booker's plunging poll numbers 2 days before the election, President Obama came out with a video asking voters to turn out for Cory Obama. Sorry, I meant to say Cory Booker. Although, with his eagerness to follow in his idol's footsteps, many are calling Booker, Obama's clone.

In case you haven't noticed, there's a political perfect storm a brewin'; unforeseen events all working together, ushering in a resurgence of Conservatism, while reigniting the Tea Party.

For example. Who could have predicted that two freshman conservative senators, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, would lead the GOP charge to defund Obamacare? Then, out of nowhere emerges this outspoken advocate for Conservatism running for U.S. Senate, New Jersey. He is fearless of the liberal media and boldly proclaims that him winning the seat will be a referendum on Obama. A remarkable tireless campaigner, millions are attracted by his confidence, inspiring life story and message.

Suddenly, Steve Lonegan is a national figure, firing up patriots across America. Top conservative voices such as Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin and Mark Levin have come aboard the Lonegan run-a-way train along with Sen. Rand Paul, Gov. Rick Perry, Gov. Chris Christie, a business advocacy group and numerous grassroots conservative groups.

Thousands attended a Tea Party Express rally for Lonegan. It takes an investment of time and money for thousands to show up at a rally, an indicator of the growing passion for Lonegan.

Also contributing to the political perfect storm is Obama plunging in the polls, the exposure of his insidious attempts to use the shutdown to inflict pain on Americans , truckers and dozens of veteran groups protesting in DC.

Stakes are high and both sides of the political isle are well aware of it. This election is really about America, defining the kind of country we will be. A Lonegan victory is a victory for America.

We are still building our army of patriots to make phone calls. To help please email: phonefromhome@conservativecampaign.org

Conservative Campaign Committee made radio and tv ad buys. Funds are needed to purchase more.

This is an all hands on deck drill folks – We The People for Lonegan vs Booker's backers: Oprah, Ben Affleck, other deep-pocketed Hollywood heavyweights, $1million contributor billionaire Mayor Bloomberg, Obama and the Democrats.

Patriots, I want to sincerely thank you for rallying around Lonegan. Amazingly, you have Democrats panicked, scrambling to save a Senate seat they once assumed to be a sure thing.

My wife Mary informed me that Jeff a conservative biker I met at a Tea Party was among those requesting a list to make phone calls for Lonegan. Very cool. That's what I am talking about – We The People.

Please leave no stone unturned, no phone call unmade, no ride to the polls denied and no contribution not sent. This is it! It's all about turn-out.

Now, let's get it done folks. Let's get it done.

Home Stretch: Lot Happenin' For Lonegan

4063753673?profile=originalThanks folks, you have been awesome. In these last few days before the Wednesday, October 16th special election for the New Jersey U.S. Senate seat, the Lonegan campaign has skyrocketed with national attention and activity. Rush Limbaugh said Lonegan will win.

Sarah Palin is campaigning for Lonegan. Tea Party Express is hosting a rally for Lonegan; keynotes are Sarah Palin and Mark Levin.

Suddenly, Lonegan t-shirts are hot, figuratively worn by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and supporters across America.

My Conservative Campaign Committee has been pounding the drum for several months for Lonegan. We are running Lonegan radio and TV ads. We are most excited about our Lonegan ads running during Sunday Night Football and the pre-game show.

Our staff is organizing volunteers to phone-from-home for Lonegan, as voter turn out is hugely important. To participate please email: phonefromhome@conservativecampaign.org

But folks, I just want to take a moment to express my deepest thanks and appreciation of you. Your support and contributions have made Lonegan surge from 30 points down to single digits. Remarkable!

Billionaire Mayor Bloomberg threw $1 million to Lonegan's opponent's campaign.

Grassroots efforts for Lonegan simply do not have that kind of money to throw around.

You know me by now folks, I always look for the blessing.

Ours is a We The People movement, working together, united. As grassroots patriots, we make the best with what we have, using our creativity, skills and talents. We spend wisely. We are united in our common goal to restore America.

I spoke on the phone with a Lonegan supporter yesterday who said, “I'm 67. I miss my constitutional America.”

Sending rock-solid constitutional conservatives such as Lonegan to DC is step one.

Also folks, there is something in the air, a new rebellion brewing against the tyranny of the Obama Administration. Truckers are organizing rallies and protests. Veterans are planning rallies and protests. Yes, something is happening.

More than ever, we need politicians on our side who will not blink; refusing to back down simply because Democrats and liberal media call them bad names.

Conservative Republican Steve Lonegan running for U.S. Senate New Jersey is one such politician. We are in the home stretch with only a few days left, folks. Let's get this “good guy” elected.

Thanks again and God Bless.

4063739959?profile=originalOur Tea Party real nowhere man for U.S. Senate, Steve Lonegan, has suddenly become a force to reckon with; remarkably surging from 35 points behind Obama clone Cory Booker to only 3.

To stop the bleeding, Hollywood (Oprah, Ben Affleck and several others) has funded a $337,000 smear campaign against Lonegan. We can not allow Hollywood to buy this seat for hardcore liberal Booker and the Democrats.

Unquestionably, the once cocky Booker camp of deep-pocket Hollywood heavyweights have become a bite anxious, stunned by Lonegan's surge. They realize that the wake of a Lonegan victory over Booker in New Jersey will cause a tsunami impacting the national political landscape.

Aside from contributing to a Republican majority in the Senate, a Lonegan victory means that when Conservatism is confidently articulated it resonates with voters. Folks, I am talkin' Obama's worst nightmare.

Democrat pundits and their co-conspirators in the media pound us daily with the false narrative that a majority of Americans have embraced their liberal agenda. Conservatives are portrayed as the odd man out. Lonegan boldly proclaims the contrary, stating that the vast majority of Americans are conservative.

Some say the Democrat/liberal media tag team is too powerful and well-funded. My reply is I love my country far too much to roll over and surrender. Lonegan's amazing surge confirms that anything is possible when We The People are fully engaged.

Dr Wayne Dyer said something years ago which has stuck with me. I paraphrase, "No one can predict the future or knows enough to be a pessimist". I can truly testify to the validity of this truth.

Countless times when it appeared that all was lost, God intervened. An unanticipated solution, off my radar, a change of events appeared out of nowhere, to save the day. Life experiences have taught me to focus my energy on doing everything I can do; rooted in righteousness, truth and love. Then, I trust a higher power to produce the proper outcome.

I Googled, “American battles won against all odds”.

Wow! Throughout our history there have been numerous key moments in which Americans were called upon to take a stand against all odds; miraculously stealing victory from the jaws of defeat.

Brother and sister patriots, the battle to defund Obamacare and rein in politically selfish, irresponsible and out-of-control deficit spending is one such moment. At stake is the future of our children.

Democrat Senate majority leader, Harry Reid's rejection of a bill funding kids with cancer reveals that no price is too high to protect Obama's signature achievement Obamacare which ushers in the end of America as founded.

Republicans must stand strong against such evil. We must send rock-solid conservative Steve Lonegan to DC to strengthen our ranks.

Tea Party, please, please, please do not allow Hollywood to buy this race for Booker.

4063749392?profile=originalQuoting the Pointer Sisters' song, “I'm so excited!” Sarah Palin has endorsed Steve Lonegan for U.S. Senate New Jersey.

“Steve Lonegan will fight to preserve our Liberty against government regulations like Obamacare that seek to limit our prosperity. Let’s come together, turn out, work hard, and elect conservative Steve Lonegan to the U.S. Senate on October 16!”

–Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin

Folks, not only am I excited about Palin's endorsement, I am most excited about Steve Lonegan, the man. Cut from the same cloth as Sarah Palin, Lonegan boldly articulates the benefits of conservatism and why it is the best route for all to achieve their American Dream. Like Palin, Lonegan is a proud fiscal and social conservative. He is also strongly pro-gun and pro-life.

We in the Tea Party have had very little to cheer about over the past few days since the government shutdown. Democrats with the full support of their sycophant media have been demonizing the Tea Party and Republicans 24/7. Such was expected.

How could decent hard-working Americans rejecting Obamacare, their president's lawless tyrannical attempt to fundamentally transform America; usurping unconstitutional power over every aspect of their lives, prompt such vitriolic hate from the media and Democrats? This is our nightmarish reality in America today.

President Obama rewrites Obamacare at will, changing the rules; 19 times thus far. He awards opt-outs and special deals to his homeys. Could you ever imagine a federal law that those on the president's “good side” would be allowed not to comply? And yet, the media and Democrats have deemed the American people the villains; racist who refuse to go quietly into socialism.

Steve Lonegan's remarkable surge coming from over 30 points to only 3 behind liberal Democrat Cory Booker is cause for celebration. Beating Obama clone Booker will be a huge boost to gaining a majority in the Senate and inspiring our base.

Also, endorsed by Sen. Rand Paul, Gov. Chris Christie and Gov. Rick Perry, momentum for Lonegan continues to build.

Conservative Campaign Committee has placed TV and radio ads supporting Lonegan. We are running ads on the NBC affiliate in New Jersey on Sunday Night Football and the pre-game show. Thus, reaching a broader audience of voters for Steve Lonegan!

The Lonegan vs Booker race is David vs Goliath. Booker is propped up with a huge war chest from Oprah, Ben Affleck and a plethora of Hollywood heavyweights. Against all odds, Lonegan supported by We The People has risen from not-a-snowballs-chance to reducing Booker's lead to only 3 points. It is truly amazing what can be achieved when We the People come together.

Here is the link to the Money Bomb to purchase airtime for Lonegan ads.

Lonegan himself is pretty outspoken about the national implications of his October 16th battle with Booker; Conservatism vs Liberalism; We The People vs Hollywood.

Tea Party: We Need More Heroes, NOW!

Are you as frustrated as I? You can count on one hand the conservative Republicans who are aggressively fighting Obama and the Democrat's fundamental transformation of America.

4063739750?profile=originalSarah Palin is out there chastising “RINO” Republicans for putting politics over the best interest of We The People. Palin praised Ted Cruz for taking a stand for freedom and liberty. Thank God for sister Sarah, Sen. Cruz and Sen. Lee. But they need help!

Steve Lonegan is cut from the same cloth. Legally blind since childhood, Lonegan has never used his disability as a crutch. As mayor of Bogota, New Jersey, his record of conservative fiscally wise decisions speaks for itself. Lonegan is fearless, outspoken and relentless in his efforts to stop Obama's socialist/progressive agenda.

Think the iron-fist anti-christian, nanny state socialist/progressive agenda is not well on its way of being fully implemented, here are a few examples.

4063739841?profile=originalA parent was arrested at a school board meeting for questioning the new liberal curriculum. Can you believe that? What the heck is going on in our country?

California parents are outraged over a ruling by liberals to punish/fine youth football teams that score too many points. The message, a team can be good, but not too good.

A Fox Sports broadcaster was fired for having religious views which are not in sync with the Administration’s socialist/progressive agenda. Such attacks on religion and unapproved opinions are commonplace under Obama.

Kindergarten kids are forced to celebrate Gay Pride Month and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender History Month.

Dear Lord, I pray a majority of Americans will wake up and smell the tyranny before it is too late.

No Administration in U.S. History has had a record of bullying, intimidation and lawlessness like this one, using every governmental agency to punish and destroy those who oppose Emperor Obama.

After our “moderate” candidate lost the presidential election, the GOP embraced the liberal media, Democrats and consultant's spin that Conservatism and bad mouthing Obama was our downfall. They claim it turned off minorities and low-info voters.

Consequently, Republicans are timid about criticizing Obama and opposing the liberal agenda; Obamacare, raising the debt ceiling, abortion, gay marriage and illegal immigration. Incredibility, Republicans are actively seeking to chase conservatives out of the party.

If we do not send more conservative reinforcements to the front line, America as we know it will be over. Pure and simple. Thus, my passion for sending rock solid conservative Steve Lonegan to DC.

Funding from the people of New Jersey and grassroots has Lonegan surging. His extreme liberal opponent, Booker funded by Hollywood (Oprah, Ben Affleck and more) continues to decline.

EXCITING NEWS! Some polls have the race down to single digits.

Lonegan says the Wednesday, October 16th special election is really a referendum on Obamacare. Lonegan making such a bold statement in the midst of the GOP waving the white flag on numerous issues is truly refreshing. A Lonegan win will be a severely needed shot in the arm to the conservative movement.

Hear Steve's inspiring words on the John Gambling Show.

Patriots, in the tradition of Palin, Cruz and Lee, Steve Lonegan will not blink. He will fight for us. We need more heroes, NOW! You can help.
