Allen West's response to: Black Conservatives Conflicted on Obama Campaign
Email from Allen West | June 14, 2008 | Allen West

Posted on 06/14/2008 5:44:47 PM PDT by Ooh-Ah

For most of my adult life I took an oath to a simple document, the US Constitution, to support and defend it against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same. My allegiance is to America, its people, and their rights as put forth in that superb document. I shall not discard my principles and commitment to my God and Country, just because. I applaud Senator Obama for his accomplishment, however, there is no way I will vote for someone that is so contrary to my beliefs in lower taxes, limited government, individual rights and freedoms, individual responsibility and accountability, not collective prosperity sharing.

I grew up in inner city Atlanta Georgia, and my elementary school, Our Lady of Lourdes, is across the street from Ebenezer Baptist Church. Dr King's seminal ideal of "content of character vs color of skin" resonates with me. Regardless of the probable ensuing vitriolic name calling, my ideology and principles are not in concert with those of Senator Obama. I wish him well, but I dont wish him to be President of THESE United States of America".

Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West (US Army, Ret)
Republican Candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives
Florida District 22

Allen West is a real American hero!

He can help reinvigorate the conservative movement!!! The conservative movement needs a strong, insightful and likable leader.

We all need to reach into our pockets an help his campaign for congress. If we help get this man elected, we will all be proud of ourselves when we realize what we helped do for the conservative movement.

GO WEST!!!

I’ve donated to his campaign and he’s not in my district here in Florida. This is a guy with guts, imagination and clarity. He was a real leader in Iraq, and continues to show great promise in politics.

Read up on him Bah- he’s the real deal.

It’s remarkable, really. IF you stood him next to Obama and looked at real accomplishments rather than rhetoric...

Thank you for the ping. Once again I’m wowed by Col. West. I truly hope that he gets elected. I’ve worked all weekend on contacting relatives in Florida to get them to donate as well as trying to motivate others here who want to support Conservatives to donate!

THAT's a great strategy. I'm sure Col. West will love it! Thanks. If we all contacted our friends and family in Florida....!
