BUMP FOR YAH!

what an inspirational candidate!
truth, ya can't argue with the facts....

Thanks for this excellent post on Lt.Col. Allen West(ret).
I’m in Fl, though,not in his District. BUT, I have and will again contribute to Allen West’s campaign. We NEED LEADERS and PATRIOTS in DC and, imho, Allen West fits that bill. I’ve forwarded this to other Floridians and provided campaign address for donations.
Hubby and I met Lt. Col. West at the FR convention, during the 9/12 Gathering in DC last year. What a nice man, and his speech was excellent!
Two of the people Americans should support.
BUMP
We need this guy in the White House.
