Allen West (Rep) for U.S. Congress
Allen West For Congress ^ | 12/11/07 | Allen West

Posted on 12/11/2007 2:30:35 PM PST by pookie18

Welcome to Allen West's campaign for Florida's 22nd Congressional District! This site will give you the opportunity to learn more about Allen and his vision for the future of America. Please take a moment to learn more about Allen West and then take action to help Allen's campaign!

Dear Friends,

We face many challenges as a nation. From the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, to illegal immigration, to energy independence, to out of control federal spending, now more than ever we need leaders in Congress who represent our South Florida values.

My 22 years of service in the U.S. Army have taught me that America is a country unlike any other, and that our way of life is worth protecting. In Congress, I will put my experience to work for our national security and honor my oath to the US Constitution by protecting our borders and enforcing our immigration laws. I will fight to lower taxes and reduce the size of federal government. I will be an advocate for policies that spur our economy and job creation, and will protect small business by cutting senseless regulations that cost jobs and increase overhead. And I will be a champion for reducing our dependence on foreign sources of oil, promoting energy independence while preserving our coastlines and farmland.

Thank you for visiting my campaign website. I am confident that as you learn more about my background and vision, you will agree my values and leadership are what our community needs in Washington during this important time in our history. Your support means a great deal to me.

In your service, LTC Allen B. West, U.S. Army (Ret.)

Well, he's got the 'issue meaningless platitudes and vague promises' part of politics down pat.

I know this man well. A bunch of us veterans here in Houston hosted a testimonial/appreciation luncheon shortly after Allen retired.

If all Republicans had Allen's backbone, we wouldn't be in the jam we're in.

Allen West is...

The

Real

Deal!!

Support him to the max!!

Good to hear! From the outside looking in, I always thought he did the right thing.

Colonel West was a hero in my humble opinion. Instead of a court marshall he should have gotten a bronze star with the combat V for valor. What he did was nothing short of valient.

Douglas Kennedy did a story on Allen West on tonight’s John Gibson (Fox News) show. In closing, Kennedy comments something to the effect if someone wants to vote for someone who believes in torture, West is their guy.
I shot off an email to Gibson telling Kennedy to apologize. Allen West is willing to defend America...that’s the kind of person I will vote for!
If Kennedy or his family were threatened, bet he wouldn’t be concerned about torture.

Unfortunately, I am not able to vote for West, but, I will send him money....which tonight’s story said he definitely needs since the Dim candidate has million $$.

This is Palm Beach right?

Given the political reality of today, can we defeat the democrat who took Clay Shaw’s seat?

I’m just asking.

Are you a constituent of that district?

I may send him money, but I can’t vote there.

He did the right thing in a cosmic sense. In a sane world it would be universally recognized as such. The Clinton pestilence that ravished every element of our society was not spared on the military. It will take some time for the true warriors to replace all the PC Clowns.
