I have faxed and e-mailed this statement out to local and national news outlets.

A special thank you to all the Freepers who have supported this recall effort is certainly in order. It has been very encouraging to have your support as we fought to preserve our constitutional rights.

I realize there are those who think we should have continued the recall, but those of us who have been out there actively circulating petitions have encountered more and more resistance from Arizona's registered voters. Before September 11th, the committee was confident that we could put on the final push to gather the required signatures. After the "Day of Infamy," the sentiment against McCain, although genuine, has been put on the back burner.

Right now, Congress will have its hands full taking care of the primary function of government - protecting its citizens.

However, should the country get back to normal and John McCain and his liberal friends decide to again attack our rights to free speech and to defend our families, this committee has a long list of reliable volunteers who will be prepared to launch another recall.

For now, proposed legislative threats to our freedom have been trumped - BIG TIME - by Osama's legions of terror.

RECALL MCCAIN CAMPAIGN ENDS

Good.

It would be especially bad to go after him now when he supports Bush and a full-scale military response.

It would be disruptive and harmful to our country, and I know the "Recall McCain"ers don't want that.

[Spiff]

I agree with your decision. I was wondering on the way to work what you planned to do. The answer came quickly.

[Rodney King]

Thanks for your hard work! Start gearing up for someone to run a primary against him next time he is up for re-election!

[francisandbeans]

Although I didn't completely agree with the campaign, I am proud to call you and other recall comitte members freeper bretheren. I applaud your stance on McCain...and I appluad your decision here.

[Gracey]

You've done a Wondeful job, gal. THANK YOU!!!!! You have no other choice, right now.

[dead]

I don't have to start liking him now, do I?

(you made the right call)

[truthkeeper]

You did the right thing.

[Tex-Con-Man]

Smart move, mom.

[mattdono]

I agree. If nothing else, you were able to remind Sen McCain that he is accountable.

But, I must concede that as much hell as FREEPERs have given McCain over the past few months, it pales in comparison to the kind of hell McCain would like to give Osama and his pals right about now.

I appreciate that Sen. McCain has really rallied behind the President.

[agrandis]

Disappointed. Enemies are enemies. Too bad we have to stop recognizing certain enemies of the Constitution (which is the only thing worthy to bind all Americans together) in order to carry out a war against other enemies of the Constitution. I noticed that the media has already used this assault on our nation to bolster McCain. Damn all enemies of the US Constitution! The terrorists sure have done a number on us. It seems to get worse every day. A patriotism based on no foundation is worse than worthless.

[Saundra Duffy]

I saw McCain on TV and felt good about what he said and how he handled it. Thanks for doing what you're doing. Yahoo! For victory & freedom!!!

[Coop]

Great work by you and so many others!

[b4its2late]

Good call.

[Teacher317]

It was a great effort, and a worthy one. Hopefully it will bear greater fruit the nexttime it is necessary.

On a personal note, I'm giving McCain a break just for that one line on the floor of Congress,
"God may have mercy on you, but we won't."

[mombonn]

Applause, Marcia. What a class act you are! You are entirely right, now is no longer the time.

[Clinton's a liar]

God bless you, dittomom. Well done.

[dalebert]

Hope this does not mean Condit is getting off the hook also.

[RooRoobird14]

Good move, Dittomom. As usual, you're a class act.

It's too bad that took something this horrific for McWhineyBoy to finally back his president. I still don't trust him--he still has too much of an eye on how HIS career is being affected by all of this. I really do get sick of seeing his smarmy face on TV.

[truth_eagle]

Great! We need Senator McInsane to push the button on IRAQ!

[Physicist]

The full magnanimity of your gesture only becomes clear when I consider the amount of time, effort and emotion you have invested in the cause you are setting aside. It is a piece of yourself that you are offering to your country. Yours is a deep patriotism, and I honor and thank you for it.
