Lt. Col. Allen West, FL Congressional candidate--Check links to learn about this hero!

[Ooh-Ah]

To All,

Lt. Col. Allen West is a candidate for the U.S. Congress,  22^nd District of Florida.  I have been very impressed with what I have learned about Col. West and think he may have a real chance against his one-term opponent. 

Here are some links and information to introduce you to this hero and to someone whom I believe will make an outstanding Congressman: 

• ALLEN WEST FOR CONGRESS-website (Note Col. West not only served in the military in Afghanistan and Iraq, but  was also a teacher!)

•  Meet Lt. Col. West through this VIDEO

•  There’s a case to be made against his opponent’s lack of understanding of radical Muslim groups in the U.S.:

REP. RON KLEIN REFUSES TO REMOVE KEITH ELLISON FROM ANTI-SEMITISM TASK FORCE

REP. ELLISON MAKES FALSE CLAIM THAT HE HAS DENOUNCED EXTREMIST GROUPS MAS AND CAIR

(Coral Springs, FL) Yesterday, February 19, 2008, the Legislative Director from U.S. Representative Ron Klein’s Washington, D.C. office, Mira Kogen, informed Americans Against Hate (AAH) Chairman Joe Kaufman that Rep. Klein (D-Florida) will not be removing Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minnesota) from the recently created Congressional Task Force on Anti-Semitism (CTFAS). Klein co-chairs the task force with U.S. Congressman Mike Pence (R-Indiana). CTFAS was created by Holocaust survivor, Rep. Tom Lantos, who passed away earlier this month.

Last week, an AAH delegation met with Rep. Klein to ask him to remove Rep. Ellison.   AAH spent over a half hour showing Klein documentation proving direct contact between Ellison and radical Muslim organizations, which included the Muslim American Society (MAS) and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Both MAS and CAIR had recently been named by the U.S. government as being part of the Muslim Brotherhood, and CAIR had been linked by the FBI to Hamas.

According to Kogen, Rep. Klein approached Ellison to ask him about the information he (Klein) received from his meeting with AAH, and Ellison told him that he had “publicly denounced” and would continue to publicly denounce the anti-Semitism from the groups (MAS and CAIR). Kogen told Kaufman that Rep. Klein was satisfied with Rep. Ellison’s statements to him and that they were consistent with the principles of the anti-Semitism task force. ...

We have USMC Col. Bob Herring running in Orlando.

I’m a bit concerned about his insistence to pull our troops back to the borders...leaving the interior of the country alone.

Anyone else notice that?

I joined “Allen's Army” yesterday after checking out Lt. Col. West's website. We need to get that seat back from the rats and he looks like the man who can do it. I'm in District 15 so my main support will go to Bill Posey but I want to help Bob Herring and young Duncan Hunter too.

There was a recent post on FR that listed a group of conservative young vets running for Congress ~ can someone please cite that for me?

[Ooh-Ah]

Is this it?

And here’s another one. I’ve given up on the 2008 POTUS contest, we need to take back the Congress to oppose whomever wins the presidency.
