“Go to Newt’s Grassroots to join local protests forming in Scottsdale as Romney is demeaning our votes for the remaining delegates.”

These apparatchiks will ignore you. In November, ignore them.

Remember the ‘OBEY’ posters?

Same, except the armband is on the other arm.

Does he have close to 1144 delegates already? If not, premature and boastful.

I learned my lesson years ago about liberals who pose as Republicans when I foolishly voted for Mike Bloomberg for Mayor here in New York city. If you want to get an idea what a liberal disguised as a Republican will do come here. Living under Despotism really really sucks.

To all Members.

Who are these so called Newt Gingrich supporters? They shut down the Grassroots NEWTS NETWORK site for making calls.

Then they expect us to stay members there and work with the Establishment Republicans to support anyone that wins the primary.

I’m sorry, I am Supporting Newt Gingrich. Newt Gingrich is still in this race.

If you never believed in Newt Gingrich what were you fighting for? I know I was fighting to see Newt Gingrich to be our next President and I still am.

I have been in many conversations with these so called Newt supporters over the last few months and truly thought they believed as I did. There were promises made these last few days about a strategy for Newt Gingrich to start winning more upcoming primary States.

I have used my contacts to push this strategy with the campaign only to have these people that promised to be there disappear. Who are you? What do you people stand for?

I never break my word. My word is Gold!! I stand and fight for what I believe in and I will never change that.

To tell me that you just wanted to see anyone win against Obama I find insulting. We all want that but my candidate in Newt Gingrich and until he stops campaigning I will continue to fight alongside him.

I never change my mind with the way the wind is blowing.

I have learned many valuable lessons during this campaign. I learned that Fox News is Not Fair and Balanced. I learned that the commentators at Fox are liberal RINO’s. They don’t want real change they just talk the talk with no action. I learned that radio talk shows that promote conservatism will endorse a RINO.

I have watched with real concern how to steal caucus votes by the Ron Paul people. I learned that if you spend massive amounts of money on Campaign commercials with lies people will believe them. I learned that if you steal ideas from the most experienced person running and call them your own people will believe that.

I have watch CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) change direction. CPAC was started by Conservatives for the Conservative cause. But they allowed a Liberal RINO to speak there. Then this RINO spent a half hour trying to explain how he is a Conservative. A real Conservative doesn’t have to explain he just is one. Then to see this RINO pay for people there to vote for him so he would win the poll. Who are these people? What do they stand for? Is this the America I love?

Doesn’t anyone believe what this Country stands for anymore? Does anyone believe that to do the right thing means something?

Well I still do and I will not change my belief that to do the right thing still counts.

We allowed our candidate to be picked back in 2008 with John McCain and we Lost. I will fight everyday so this Establishment who call themselves Republicans will not be allowed to pick our candidate this time so we lose again.

Yes I must say this campaign has been an eye opener to say the least. I do a lot of research and I am disappointed in myself for not doing more research on the people I was in discussions with to help this campaign. This was my fault. To get sucked in to believing they had the same values as I do. That they truly wanted Newt Gingrich to be our next President. That your word still meant something. That if you say you’re going to do something you do it. You don’t leave a person hanging out to dry.

I also must say I have met the greatest Newt Gingrich supporters in many sites I belong to. I am proud to fight alongside them. They have not given up. They have not broken their word. They are still there fighting the fight every day. They are True believers and they are True American Patriots.

So let me say this, I am not working with a Grassroots effort that believes in anyone but Obama. I am working with Newt Gingrich to be our next President. I will continue Fighting the Fight against all odds no matter what obstacles get in my way.

I am a True believer In Newt Gingrich and I will continue to be until he says he will suspend his campaign. I want all other True Believers to follow me through these tough times and to help each other win this for Newt Gingrich. Do not get swayed by the non-believers. Stay True to your word and beliefs.

Thank you.

Fighting the Fight!!!

Shawn Simpson

Oh, let's don't wait until November let's call the whole thing/election off and let arrogant King Mitt have the thing. You could not pay me to vote for this liar. Palin can get on his ticket, I would not change my mind. Many states have not even voted and they are influencing the minds of those voters. He needs 1144 delegates. This is suppose to be decided by the people, not the media and Karl and co. I hope we win the house/senate cause Mitt will not beat Obama.

If this guy loses the next couple of primaries, it’s going to be epic.

Shawn is upset with activists in his state (Delaware) who did not show up or reneged on promises to help. All the rest he writes is very relevant.

Apparently the rest of the party wants to learn that lesson the hard way.

Exactly right. Let's work and pray Willard loses someof these contests beginning on 4/24. It will be a whole new ballgame.

Newt will get my vote, whether it matters or not. Who knows what will come up by June.

Oh, gee, me too.

Can’t believe who all is caving and want to let Romney skate and silence the primary voice of the people. It’s a death to democracy when the primary is where our freedom and voice reside, but becomes now a Pelosi style cram-down.

I (and the rest of my state of GA) told Romney to pound sand with my primary vote.

I WILL DO IT AGAIN IN THE GENERAL.
