McCain launches new grassroots organization, "Putting Country First"
Email from McCain | 1/7/09 | John McCain

Posted on 01/07/2009 10:20:53 AM PST by amyjane

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.

".....because nothing is inevitable here."

Except the fact that you will remain a RINO until the day you're planted, John.

Once he chose Sara Palin I worked overtime on his campaign here in NH and gave him and the cause 125%. Then he foolishly refused to fight against Obamessiah and then went on to basically tell America that Obamessiah was a decent guy qualified to be president and then after the election was over and he lost because of his own mistakes he threw Sarah under the bus regarding her possible future run for president. As far as I am concerned the guy has used up all of his chits. "Putting Country First"... right, he is going to be lock step with Obamessiah and will be his willing puppet to be manipulated in order to get the Republicans to fall in line with Obamessiah's "New World Order".

"Putting Country First"

Which country? USA or Mexico?

If he again supports amnesty for the illegals in this country, we will have our answer.

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.

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?)

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!
