Fellow FReepers,
One of our active members in the Illinois chapter, Unspun, has created an e-petition calling on Republican leaders on both the state and national level to immediately fully fund and support the U.S. Senate campaign of Dr. Alan L. Keyes.
I'm posting this on FR because all freepers across America are welcomed and encouraged to sign. And after you do, please forward it to others you know:
A re-elected President George W. Bush and our nation NEED Alan Keyes to assume Peter Fitzgerald's Senate seat. Fitzgerald was elected running as unapologetic conservative and that's exactly what Keyes is doing. Alan Keyes CAN win this election but only through the national efforts of conservatives everywhere. He is jumping into the race during the time of crisis when the Democrats are way ahead on fundraising.
It is especially important for Ambassador Keyes' wonderful voice of insightful American statesmanship and conscience to be heard in the Senate, instead of the liberal extremity represented by Barack Obama's Illinois State Senate votes.
This petition simply calls for Republican leaders to unite, to:
1. Introduce Alan Keyes to the campaign contributors they know.
2. Encourage the volunteers they know, to work for Dr. Keyes.
3. Strongly endorse Alan Keyes and work with his campaign
The time is short in this unique and historic campaign. The eyes of the nation are upon it. Alan Keyes' message must get to all the voters of Illinois.
The above link explains further. Opening it, you will see that this petition is starting to be being signed by dedicated Illinoisans and other Americans of principle, including grass roots and political leaders.
Won't you add your your name and town to the list?
The link to the petition itself is:

Thank you! Please pass it on! BUMP this thread!
Really? When?
Or are you just projecting?
I am someone who doesn't particularly care for Alan Keyes. Other than that, you know NOTHING about me.
I'm tired of you getting personal with people based on nothing more than THAT. GROW UP.
Yeah, so he makes sure all his campaign debts are paid, takes care of all his taxes on time, and he "deeply resent[s] the destruction of federalism represented by Hillary Clinton's willingness to go into a state she doesn't even live in and pretend to represent people there. So [he] certainly wouldn't imitate it." .
Hey, wait......
Man, your reponse was weak; but I can imagine doing this 24/7 leaves you with little else to reply with.
A better question would be, don't you?
Oh no you are NOT. You are attacking people. You are acting like a fifth-grader, taking cheap, personal shots. I have watched you pull this crap for the past few days, and I have said little, but at this point I have HAD it.
[Finger down the throat.]
I'm beginning to think that all his integrity is in his little finger.
"...Who can forget the look on the Presidents face when Chief-of Staff Andy Card leaned over in that classroom and told him what had happened? It was a defining moment for America and the world, yesbut it was also the supreme moment of truth for George W. Bush.
How did he respond? Superbly. The fire of trial didnt consume him, as it would some. It merely showed the fine quality of the metal he is made of.
He prayed. He demonstrated his faith in the One Who has the power both to raise up and put down nations. He had the understanding to recognize his need for the prayers of his fellow citizens, and the humility to ask for those prayers.
He reassured America in words worthy of history, and worthy of his office. And he did it with sinceritywith a power and a heartfelt passion that rang true to the American people.
He comforted the stricken. He honored the first respondersthose heroes who went up the stairs on that day when everyone else was trying to go down. He encouraged those they left behindthe ones who now faced the task of putting their stricken cities and broken lives back together again.
Most importantly, he fully recognized his primary duty as the Commander-in-Chiefto protect the lives and the liberty of the American people. He immediately began to take concrete steps to greatly strengthen our national security and preparedness.
You've gotten your psyche mixed up with Alan's; or are you the candidate?
The best defense is a good offense, you know.
Y'all can dish it out, but scream bloody murder when someone stands up to you.
You're the bullies, and have been for four years where it concerns Alan Keyes.
Hardly.
I don't know about that. I've seen you bullying some women lately. Don't sell yourself short.
P.S. You fight like a girl.
Thank you.
I said 'thank you' because I was in a place today that reminded me that a 'girl' can fight like a tigress when necessary.
And because of that, my sister's murderer will either die in the electric chair or spend the rest of his days behind bars.
Today I stood sadly
Looking at the spot where she fell
Yes, he killed her, but not before
She gave him holy hell
And the fact that she did
Will make him pay
She made him bleed profusely
And leave his DNA
LOL!!! This over-the-top saccharine hyperbole is the very reason so many of us are turned off by you Keysters.
He believes all the dewey-eyed, rose-petal-throwing fawning that his Stepford followers shower on him.
Illinois issues, EV. Where are the Illinois issues?
you go girl!
I'm sorry to hear what happened to your sister. She was fighting for her life, and it sounds like she fought hard. I admire that.
But you're not fighting for your life here on FR.
I understand your desire to see Keyes win - reluctantly (because I fear his inability to rein in the vitriol when it comes to other Republicans), many of us share it, to a degree - I just wish you would stop trying to paint horns and tails on people who don't like his style.
People aren't bad just because they prefer those who refrain from making caustic remarks about the President.
Well, we've been trying to go after the crackhead socialst RAT from Hawaii for a while, but the OBAMA CHEERLEADING SQUADTM is too busy insisting the guy gave a brilliant speech at KerryFest 2004 and should be coroneted Senator for life tomorrow.
