TO: John McCain and the RNC,
Your latest solicitation for our money has a lot of "I want…" statements in it. Merely saying "I want…" does NOT impress me and won't get the job done!
I would like to hear some "I WILL…" AND MEAN IT !
If you want our money, and our vote, then "WE WANT" some ACTION from the RNC and John McCain!
GET YOU HEAD OUT AND PAY ATTENTION…. WE ARE SERIOUS AMERICAN CITIZENS THAT VOTE!
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that we WILL DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW, AND PAY LESS! The stupidity of sitting on trillions of cubic feet of our own natural gas and billions of barrels of our own oil while begging Arabs for more is beyond insanity! We want refineries, clean safe nuclear power, and STOP BURNING OUR FOOD FOR FUEL!
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that the borders WILL be closed and NO illegals will get ANY amnesty or special consideration ahead of those waiting to enter legally!
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that employers of illegals will be prosecuted. The illegals will go home on their own… and real wages for real Americans will rise!
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that federal funding will be withdrawn from "sanctuary cities"…. immediately! I obey the federal laws… so should city officials… or defund and prosecute them.
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that ONLY strict constructionist federal and Supreme Court judges will be nominated, AND that they will be supported, in hearings! Abiding by our Constitution has worked to get us here... it will work for our future!
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that NO new taxes bills will be signed!
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that there will be NO carbon tax schemes and NO so called "global warming" or "climate change" agreements catering to the fear mongers claiming "man-made" climate change. The world climate has ALWAYS changed and puny mankind cannot control it! The facts, evidence, and tens of thousands of scientists, say it is a pure hoax, a lie, and a grab for money and power and it MUST be stopped before it destroys our economy!
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that ALL earmarks will be vetoed!
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that Social Security will be reformed and made solvent to end the illegal Ponzi scheme that will devastate the retirement of so many!
When John McCain, and the RNC, make these strong commitments, we will again support Republicans with OUR money and our vote!
But, NOT UNTIL THEN... IT IS TOO IMPORTANT!!!
DO YOU HEAR US…. OR ARE YOU NOW DEAF TO REAL AMERICAN VALUES?
Joint meeting of the Flight 93 Memorial Task Force and the Flight 93 Federal Advisory Commission
The Courthouse - Somerset, PA February 2, 2008 Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen, My name is Bill Steiner. I live in Mt. Pleasant, PA I come to Somerset today with the same deep respect and heavy heart that my wife and I carried here over 2 ½ years ago on Sunday July 31, 2005 when we came to see the five finalists in the Flight 93 Memorial design competition. We came with eager anticipation to experience each of the designs, knowing one of them would carry a most important final tribute forever into time and into the minds and hearts of all Americans. After only a few minutes in the display room, it was abundantly and unequivocally clear that the most well done design was horribly flawed with Islamic symbolism. We were truly dumbstruck that the main feature was a huge perfectly shaped Red Islamic Crescent and was called the “Crescent of Embrace”. We knew for certain that those two features alone were enough to cruelly taint this design and to make grossly inappropriate. My wife knew the “Crescent of Embrace” would be chosen as the winner because it was by far the most esthetically pleasing and was the most well done. After dropping a disapproving comment in the suggestion box, we came home and did our best to urgently sound the alarm to everyone we possibly could. Our mission was urgent, the choice was about to be made. Unfortunately, we find it necessary to come again today with the very same warning... that nothing substantive has been changed, except for a different name and with a few trees added to make the Crescent look like a circle. We find only cosmetic changes...a disguise...an alias and a beard. It is the same design we found in July 2005. While nothing much has been changed, much, much more has been found...noting the extensively documented discoveries and claims of my collaborator, Alec Rawls. Everyone in this room is familiar with this controversy. We are certainly not alone in our expressions of concern and dismay for what this design contains. Representative Tom Tancredo and family member Tom Burnett, Sr. have been very outspoken in calling for the design to be scrapped and another chosen. We certainly agree and so do many, many others. Thousands and thousands of our citizens are now fully aware that our claims have merit. Well over 95% of those with whom I share the design easily comprehend the inappropriate content and cannot understand why you would allow it to remain. Most all strongly ask, “Who is responsible for this design?” There is simply just too much of an obviously questionable nature contained in the Murdoch design to let it stand unchallenged. It must be fully, publicly, and most of all, independently, vetted. We are requesting an open, honest, properly constituted congressional investigation of what we have found. The victims of Flight 93 and their families deserve to have the air cleared so they can rest. The American people deserve to know completely the nature of what they are purchasing here as a memorial to this horrific tragedy and dastardly act of war. It must be a proper and fitting one with no hint or suggestion of anything Islamic involved, whatsoever. Please consider the consequences of allowing this flawed design to pass into our history and into perpetuity. We ask you to let the light shine in. Please let the American people know the details. Please let them decide. Thank you very much. End public comments. The simplest possible rationale for the above...
We find: Can all this be coincidental? The odds are certainly against it! Therefore, we conclude that... The Chosen Flight 93 Memorial Design is a Fraud Bill Steiner Mt.

MARSHALLTOWN, IOWA -- In stark contrast to his opponents' schedules, Fred Thompson made only one campaign stop today, at a home for veterans in Marshalltown, Iowa. "We decided that we would come out here and wish these veterans a happy new year and thank them for the service to their country," Thompson said.
Josh Painter over at RedState.com has a welcome message for the Tancredo supporters who have signed on to the FDT Campaign.
My good friend 2ndDivisionVet over at FreeRepublic, has a message for everyone. Here's an excerpt;
FRED THOMPSON is the best person to lead this country. He is a true conservative and has been his entire life. All one has to do is check his record to see this.
During my time in the Army as an Intelligence Analyst, I served under both Presidents Carter and Reagan (as my commanders in chief). Without argument, President Reagan was the best commander-in-chief a military person could ever have served under. Fred Thompson possesses the same qualities and vision as President Reagan in that he is strong on national defense and sees a dire need to secure our borders and control immigration.
I can think of no better person to lead this country and fix the problems we have. He is the only candidate from either party who has specific and detailed plans on border security and immigration reform; revitalization of America’s armed forces; saving and protecting Social Security; and tax relief and economic growth. These are detailed on his Web site at www.fred08.com . I challenge you to find any other candidate who has laid out specific plans to fix anything.
Another article with a ground truth opinion:
Remember the guy who asked Fred Thompson, at a campaign stop, if he really wanted to be President?
He contacted Jim Geraghty with his opinion of the answer and, it seems, he was pretty darned happy with it. Here’s an excerpt:
It was a great answer. At points during the answer I was ashamed I had asked the question. I knew the answer. Do I really want to support a candidate who lives to be President? Is that type of candidate really interested in serving the nation or serving his own self-interest? Sen. Thompson positioned himself as willing to serve, not for an enlarged ego, but out of a deep desire to serve his nation. He has a desire to make our nation better for his children and grandchildren. Far from a slick Branson like presentation, he presented himself as a dedicated patriot willing to serve if we, the American people, were willing to have him do so. He refuses to be a President under false pretenses. He is not leading us into a shotgun relationship. He understands that under the founder’s concept of the social contract, both parties must be fully aware of the terms of the contract when entering into the agreement. If the American people do not want him to be President, he is not going to trick us into agreeing to him. As I said, the answer was refreshing. It was a great answer.
That is, I have to say again, the exact opposite of what the MSM reported. I keep wondering how hard it is to actually be a journalist these days. It seems that they don’t have to pay much attention to whatever they’re covering and can pretty much write anything they like without worrying about losing their jobs.
