My Friend,
In the time since the 2008 presidential campaign ended I have had a chance to reflect on many things. And as I said on election night, I truly cannot adequately express how indebted I am to you, my entire campaign team and my running mate, Governor Sarah Palin.
The road was a difficult one from the outset. Yet, your faith, your support and friendship never wavered. Just as I have proudly served my country for more than half a century I am as committed as ever to helping see our mission through.
So to continue the movement, I have decided to launch a new grassroots organization called Country First.
Today, I'm asking you as a friend and supporter to renew your commitment to our common goals by becoming a Charter Member of Country First with an online contribution.
Country First will allow us to strengthen our Party, better define our Republican ideals and message, recruit and back strong, dedicated candidates and continue our efforts to bring real reform to government by always putting our country and the noble ideals she stands for first.
Together, we can make government more responsive to today's problems and more answerable to the people. That's why I hope you will become a Charter Member of Country First and support our cause by following this link to make a generous contribution of any amount today.
With your help we can work to elect these new leaders to Governorships, Statehouses, the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives in 2010 and beyond. Once in office they will become fierce advocates for limited government, economic opportunity, personal responsibility and strong national security.
On Election Night last year, I called on all Americans not to despair of our present difficulties but to believe always in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here.
Today, I am asking you to join Country First to continue fighting for the worthy cause of revitalizing both our democracy and our Party.
Our goals will never be realized if your voice falls silent. You are the best hope for our country's success. Please stay in this fight with me; our country needs your service now as much as ever.
I know that together we can make a difference - we already have. Again, I thank you for your unwavering friendship and support.
Sincerely,
John McCain
P.S. Country First will serve as a powerful voice for the American people. It will allow us to get our Republican message out to the voters and elect a new generation of Republican leaders who can go to Statehouses and Congress to fight for all we believe in. Please join as a Charter Member of Country First by following this link to make a contribution today. Thank you.

Which country? USA or Mexico?
If he again supports amnesty for the illegals in this country, we will have our answer.
I just deleted mine unread. It won’t even be sent to my home PC lol
What a pity! I do not recall that crash.
I am reminded of when the Italian jets crashed at the Ramstein air show about 20 years ago.
My uncle was stationed there at the time and had been there with my aunt and cousins. They elected to leave a little early to beat the traffic.
Later, they found out one of the jets had crashed into the area of the crowd they were standing in.
Close call.
He thinks by mentioning Sarah Palin he will get money and support. Hey John, I am saving my money for Sarah’s run for Presidency in 2012, that’s where my money is going
LOL! Basically....he does not put country first in my opinion....he puts liberals and the media first....and that isnt gonna change anytime soon. And...I will never forgive him for not standing up for Sarah Palin....even after the election....
Hey thanks. Appreciate it. I don’t even want to know what he is up to anymore. I’m so up to our ears with all of the crap out there. Thanks for sending me the correct page...I am now unsubscribed!!! :)
Why is it that far right has just as much blinders on as the far left.
McCain still has my support and is the only one here that will bring me back into the fold.
I respect the right for attempting to be better people but with such comments about McCain that is starting to show my assumptions maybe way off.
McCain is a good man who has only supported his country and republicans even though you do not deserve it.
The true villian is our new president who refuses to be honest to us, throws anyone under the bus and has no experience except with crocked chicago politicians.
Good bless our country and may our people wake up and respect those who has served us well, better then we have ever.

I’m waiting to see who wins out — the RINOs or the true conservatives. If McCain and his fellow wusses triumph, I will reluctantly push for and support a third party. I will never again be hoodwinked by a charlatan whose only redeeming trait is that he is the lesser of two evils. Great quote! Fits him to a “T”. (Was it Oliver or Richard Cromwell?)
“But do be sure to use his prepaid reply envelope to send him back a cement block or something similary heavy — along with appropriate commentary, of course. “
Bump that!! Where is the person with those peso’s. Is that you Devolve?
It makes me want to subscribe just so I can unsubscribe, but one is better served by repressing one’s impulses to act childishly. For instance, returning the postage paid ontrbution envelopes of the ACLU empty so that they are on the hook for the costs. Got to work on that one!

McCain says:
"Why don't you shut your political pie hole?"
Stifling the www? Online Freedom of Speech Act (H.R. 1606)
"1606 is needed because federal courts have ordered the Federal Election Commission to regulate "electioneering communications" on the Internet because of the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act (McCain-Feingold). If H.R. 1606 fails to become law, your Web site or blog could be shut down for the 30 days prior to a primary election and the 60 days prior to a general election should you express "electioneering communications."
John McCain, enemy of free speech
