The issues before us are vast. On the state level, we can and must work to curb the excesses of government. We must also win back the battle of ideas, and this can be accomplished by fighting for hearts and minds on a local level.
The positions we advocate for are right. We need only to advocate for them more effectively. A local representative can provide a voice on these issues by explaining the benefits of time tested conservative solutions and by demonstrating the fallacy of liberal, feel-good ones. For this reason, I’ve decided to run for State Representative and have launched my campaign website at ABetterFlorida.com.
Another reason I’m running for State Representative is simple. Communism, socialism and a whole host of other dangerous dogmas have been allowed to take hold on every populated continent on the globe. Indeed, of all continents, only Antarctica has been saved from their bankrupt philosophies. After all, there’s no fooling penguins.
Had local politicians and civic leaders risen up against socialism in Chile in the late 1960s or in Venezuela in the early 1990s, neither of those countries would have been swept over by a sea of tyranny. Local officials must raise the rallying cry against the advocacy of seductive yet harmful policies and against the demagoguery that is the hallmark of the left.

This is the guy that pushed the military guy in FL for office so hard late last year. What’s that guys name????? Kind of odd to say the least.

here he is....
Allen West? You bet you. He’s still pushing him. Only thing odd is the reaction of the NRCC to Allen West’s campaign in 2008. He got 45%+ against an incumbent and outspent 5 to 1 with no party support. He’ll win this time.
by the way, I just copied the title of the article. Not sure why it added all those inserts.
It’s - WHY I’M RUNNING....
*BUMP*
Thank you!
