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.

If McCain and his fellow wusses triumph, I will reluctantly push for and support a third party.

In the event, I agree. I can't see another option that makes any sense.

The quote is attributed to Oliver Cromwell in 1653. Sorry for the tardy reply...

It seems like a third party would merely ensure everlasting democrats — assuming the third party was a split off from the Republican.

I think it is better to have something closer to what’s right. To me, it’s not “the lesser of two evils” it’s “the highest right under the circumstances.”

I've only been on FR for three years; but this topic and ones close to it get kicked around pretty intensely, now and then. Either one thinks that the GOP can be salvaged to the point where it no longer enables the Left or that it can't be reinvigorated. At any rate, every Conservative will decide for themselves if they can take another candidate à la McCain. As for me, never again...So, I watch and wait.

The main thing is to support Conservatives, irrespective of party, in the manner each of us considers best.

Agreed. Don’t know all the history but the party has changed before, and maybe that’s what’s needed again.
