Here in mid-April 2008, both the Republican and the Democratic Parties need Fresh Faces and New Talent as they select their Nominees for President and Vice-President. Both Parties need to find some new Candidates. While the Democrat voters need to start a nationwide talent search for suitable nominees, conservative Republicans may have two of the best men readily available. I would like to present why I think Gregg Cunningham and Jason Lewis (the conservative radio show host, MN) could be the men and the candidates that the GOP needs leading the campaign, and that the United States needs in top leadership. After presenting this suggestion, I would like to make an assessment of the GOP Primary 2008. Because of the process, and the results, I think there are good reasons why conservatives in the GOP should continue to look for suitable nominees. This does not have to be done in a way to tear down the current ~nominee~, nor to tear the GOP apart. While it is obvious that the primaries are soon to be over, the need remains to adequately and vigorously present the conservative message to the GOP voters, and to the country as a whole. Instead of damaging the GOP, this idea could strenghten the GOP and increase the chances of the eventual GOP nominees in the November General Election. I think that it was sometime in Feb 08 that Michaeal Reagan made a comment: ~ The Democrats have a rock star; the GOP needs a Rock Star candidate.~ I am suggesting two people who I believe would be the Dream Team candidates for Conservatism, the GOP, and for the United States of America. They could also be a great benefit for Democrats because they would show Democrats and Union members what American leaders should be doing in government. From April 16th, conservatives need to work together to continue presenting the conservative message in this Election 2008. Again, not to tear the GOP apart, or to tear the current ~nominee~ down, - but to continue to present an important message to the voters.
Before we get into a search for `rock stars', we have to discuss what kind of person we want in high office, in the highest office. My views will be discussed at the end of this statement. My quickest summary to get the discussion started is this: We should start with character, integrity, and temperment, and the person's experience. Some will put emphasis on executive experience in government or business. I understand that, but I waver on that. The good manager who chooses the wrong policies in government doesn't impress me or do any of us any good. One common opinion is to choose the person with the best executive experience to be elected and in charge, and then to have those who know the issues to be the advisors. I'm at a point where I want those who have the best understanding and the right answers to be the ones who are making the final decisions. And then there is the matter of communicating with leaders in our government and foreign governments, and with the American people, the media, and the opposition. Who can participate in an energetic campaign, and also the matter of "electability". With that brief summary, I confidently move on to introduce two people that I believe would be the Dream Team candidates for Conservatism, the GOP, and for the United States of America. They would also be a great benefit to Democrats because they would show Democrats and Union members what good American leaders should be doing in government. My favorite person who should consider being a candidate for high public office is said to be "too conservative" to be elected in California. (This has also been said about Duncan Hunter.) True, or false? Can a candidate be "too conservative", or is it that the conservative "movement", the conservative media and (FR) forums are NOT doing an adequate / effective job of working together and presenting conservatism to the culture?
USA Primary 2008 = Need Fresh Faces & New Talent! April 2008 GOP Primary 2008 = Gregg Cunningham / Jason Lewis = (Conservative Republican / Conservative Radio Host)
Talking about rock stars, I beleive that we will find that Gregg Cunningham is rock solid. Please read Gregg's civilian and military bio below and see if you agree. Those who know Gregg will agree that he has the passion and the skills to run an energetic campaign. He has traveled the country many times speaking to groups, churches, and at schools and universities. I believe that he has the character and the qualifications to serve as the President of the United States. And secondly, I would like to introduce a second person, Jason Lewis, who is a leading conservative spokesman in the United States today. His profession is as a Radio Talk Show Host, having returned to the Twin Cities, MN. Jason Lewis clearly understands the issues that face our country, and is one of the premeire communicators of the conservative message in America today. Jason could very easily be the GOP's "Rock Star" who we need to have front and center and as "The Main Event" in a campaign. Jason Lewis should receive full consideration as the GOP nominee for Vice-President. GOP conservative should consider "Gregg Cunningham / Jason Lewis 2008"! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ When you read Gregg Cunningham's civilian bio, notice he is a former two-term Member of The Pennsylvania House of Representatives. The Pennsylvania Primary is one week from today - April 22. (Note about PA write-ins, the info that I have for the Dems is that no petitions are required for write-in candidates. I'm not sure of the rules for the GOP. -??) Jason Lewis has returned to the Twin Cities, MN. who are hosting the Republican National Convention this summer.

He is a former two-term Member of The Pennsylvania House of Representatives where he introduced legislation which ended public funding for abortion. He was also a prime sponsor of the Abortion Control Act which was litigated before the U.S. Supreme Court in Thornburgh v. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. He later helped direct the ballot initiative campaign which stopped public funding for abortion in Colorado.

Mrs. Cunningham now serves as the Director of Crisis Pregnancy Outreach for the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform. In this capacity, she offers consultation to crisis pregnancy centers across the country, training them to convert to medical clinics and to be more effective in reaching and meeting the needs of abortion-vulnerable women. She is a frequent conference presenter for National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (N.I.F.L.A.), a national organization which provides legal services for crisis pregnancy centers. In addition, Mrs. Cunningham is a regular seminar presenter for ALSUP (Advanced Life Support for Unplanned Pregnancies), an association which trains physicians and allied health care professionals to care for patients facing crisis pregnancies. This cutting-edge course is modeled after other advanced life support courses which have long been integrated into medical and nursing training. Mrs. Cunningham directed a task force to establish Choices Medical Clinic which opened December 6, 1999 and is located in Wichita, Kansas. This crisis pregnancy medical clinic is located next door to the largest abortion facility in the Midwest, one which specializes in late term abortions.  Our wonderful little daughters, Annie, Alice and Amy Cunningham, were abandoned at birth, along roads in various parts of China, because they had cleft lip, cleft palate and other developmental defects. They are unbelievably smart, funny and very pro-life.
Democrats - Did you say something about a health care crisis? Don't worry anymore. Give Conservative Radio Host Jason Lewis about 15 to 30 minutes of your time and he will patiently and effectively explain to you the root problems and the right answers and the correct course of action to follow for the best health care system for Americans. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ From April 15th to and through the Republican National Convention... Not to tear the GOP apart, or to tear the ~nominee~ down... I think that the people in the United States have not seen the best from conservative candidates and leaders. The various conservative candidates have not got the job done. Have the various conservative candidates been in someway inadequate to run a good, effective, and successful conservative campaign? Or, is it that the American people / GOP voters are just not interested in conservative principles? GOP Primary 2008: Need Fresh Faces & New Talent = Gregg Cunningham / Jason Lewis Note: These are the posted opinions and views of FR Golden Gate; and at this time are not authorized by any proposed or prospective candidate.
