Tom Hoefling:
I believe...
We're One Nation Under God.
The first sworn duty of every officer of government is to protect the God-given, unalienable rights to life, liberty, and private property of every person, from creation to natural death.
The God-given institution of one man-one woman marriage and the natural family must be protected.
The right of the people to Keep and Bear Arms shall not be infringed.
Our national sovereignty, security, and borders must be defended.
Our republican form of representative self-government must be adhered to.
The oath of office to support and defend the Constitution of the United States must be fulfilled.
I also support the Platform of America's Party, and have signed the America's Party Leadership Pledge.
For Life, Liberty, and the Constitution,

"This is the real task before us: to reassert our commitment as a nation to a law higher than our own, to renew our spiritual strength. Only by building a wall of such spiritual resolve can we, as a free people, hope to protect our own heritage and make it someday the birthright of all men."-- Ronald Reagan
Americans Are Worrying About the Constitution Again
"Liberal commentators were shocked this past week when in three days of oral argument in the lawsuits challenging Obamacare, five Supreme Court justices -- a majority -- asked questions strongly suggesting they think the legislation is unconstitutional. ... [T]he justices are not the only federal officials who take an oath to uphold the Constitution. So do the president and vice president, Cabinet members and other appointees, and every member of Congress. ... That means that every federal official has an obligation to act in line with the Constitution as he or she understands it. And that doesn't necessarily mean obeying Supreme Court decisions. ... Clearly the two parties are divided on the constitutionality of the Obamacare mandate. Polls have shown large majorities of voters think the provision is unconstitutional, though one can wonder whether many have given the matter much thought. But they're certainly giving it more thought after this week and will likely give it more when the decision comes down. Voters can reasonably ask candidates for Congress their views on this and other constitutional issues and call on them to vote against measures they consider beyond Congress' constitutional powers."
In which states will you be on the November ballot?
If the Founders got the word out via horseback, surely We the People can get the word out today using the astounding technical means we have available to us...most of which are free.
Every ballot, LORD willing.
A couple of questions:
Why was this thread pushed into “chat”?
Why have an “elections” category under News/Activism, if we can’t use it?
If this isn’t Activism, what is?
If Newt Gingrich was willing to put a thread here to deal directly and personally with FReepers, would you put him in “chat”? Sarah Palin?
Just curious.
Out of respect for Jim, since he was obviously supporting one of the Republican candidates, I have not actively campaigned here much at all in this election cycle.
But with the impending coronation of the most liberal governor in the history of the republic as the Republican nominee, why would it mattter?
Is there going to be a candidate conservatives can vote for in good conscience or not?
It is up to We the People, including those who run FR.
Are you going to support Mitt Romney, should he be the Republican nominee?
Just curious.
"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents."-- James Madison, The father of the United States Constitution
No Republican is good enough for you...after all, you're running against whoever wins that nomination.
Divide that vote, jackass!
LOL
-- The Declaration of Independence"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
What Frederick Douglass had to say about those principles:
From the round top of your ship of state, dark and threatening clouds may be seen. Heavy billows, like mountains in the distance, disclose to the leeward huge forms of flinty rocks! That bolt drawn, that chain, broken, and all is lost. Cling to...its principles, with the grasp of a storm-tossed mariner to a spar at midnight." -- Frederick Douglass, What to the Slave is the Fourth of July, 1852"[T]he Declaration of Independence is the RINGBOLT to the chain of your nation's destiny...The principles contained in that instrument are saving principles. Stand by those principles, be true to them on all occasions, in. all places, against all foes, and at whatever cost.
Never mind what you believe. What is your previous executive experience? Have you held any elective office before? What do you do for a living?
What, between Socialist R and Socialist D? It hardly matters.
Just imagine if conservatives would refuse to give up everything they say they believe in for the sake of perceived political expediency.
Perhaps we could have a plurality election. Two socialists against one Reagan conservative. Sounds like pretty good odds to me.
Of course the crucial element is whether conservatives will preserve even a scrap of principle in how they expend their sacred franchise.
-- Samuel Adams"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."
Look up "megalomania" in the dictionary and get back to me.
The goal is to remove Obama from office. You won't be helping with that. LOL
The D is a Marxist.
Wow. That sentence is a great summation of the 2012 election to date. And I'm sure it is at the very top of the Romney campaign's talking points.
Actually though, what you believe is all that really matters in the end. It's what will determine what sort of policies and governance are produced. That and the real commitment of the one stating the beliefs.
What is your previous executive experience?
None. If that's your criteria you will have to support Obama or Romney.
Have you held any elective office before?
No. Again, if that's your criteria you will have to support Obama or Romney.
What do you do for a living?
Whatever I can to keep body and soul together, to keep my family fed, clothed, and housed, while I do the work of trying to restore and preserve a free republic intact for my children and grandchildren.
