This is any of y'all in New Jersey and Virginia. After being here for so long I know y'all (except for a merciful few) are intelligent people ... which is probably why y'all are Freepers. Now I'll stop kissing ass and get to the point. Victories for the Democrats in the two races this year would be seriously damaging to our President. Therefore this is the absolute wrong time for complacency.
So I'm asking y'all to use your intelligence and creativity and come up with a Top X List To Vote For Bret Schundler / Top X List To Vote For Mark Earley for your neighborhoods. 'X' is any number (preferably above five but even one would do) you can come up with. Focus on the important stuff, (i.e. Taxes, Education, Car Insurance, Crime, Emergency Management, Parkway Tolls (NJ), State Spending, Gun Control (VA especially), Partial Birth Abortion, Parental Consent, etc. As an alternative, you can instead write up refutations of the lies being spewed in the Democrat (Warner and McGreevey) ads on the airwaves.
Try to make your list as detailed, as informative but as short and plain-spoken as possible. If you can support your reasons with quotes, stats, historical trends, etc. please do so. You can find these at the websites of the Milton Friedman Foundation, Heritage Foundation, Mackinac Policy Center, American Legislative Exchange Council, etc. Also do not forget to taut your candidate's record where possible. For NJ Freepers go here and here. For VA Freepers go here.
Next, please remember to fax the Campaign headquarters your list with your name and e-mail/number and phone them to make sure they have no qualms with what you've written. As soon as you get permission proceed to spread your list as widely and as effectively as possible. Print and photocopy as many as you can into leaflets/posters. Do NOT, under any circumstances have anything put in mailboxes ... if need be, leave your leaflet on a doorstep. If your child has a newsround, give him the leaflets to deliver with the paper, etc.
The numbers (Phone/Fax) for the Schundler Campaign are:
(973) 325-9700 / (973) 325-2239.The numbers (Phone/Fax) for the Earley Campaign are:
(804) 440-2001 / (804) 440-2010 [Richmond]
(757) 482-3100 / (757) 482-3118 [Chesapeake]
(703) 388-0800 / (703) 388-0821 [Springfield]
This is important. If you allow the Left to win these elections because of your jobs, you'll soon lose your jobs as they implement their pro-socialist nanny state policies. So you're NOT too busy to do this. It'll only take a few hours of your time.
Good luck and God bless. See y'all at the finish line.
By the way, why did you ever add Tator to your SN. From the content of your reply, it appears that the first name is descriptive enough.
FReegards,
Sorry, but I respectfully disagree. Its not Bush's job to get governors elected, even if he had the time to do so. Besides, can you imagine the media's response/coverage/bashing, with all thats going on militarily, anthrax etc.
I think its a bad idea, and I live in the People's Republic of Jersey. So while I'd loved to see Schundler elected, he's gonna have to get himself (and his ideas) elected.
Both Linwood Holton (former governor) and Panny Rhodes (delegate) are RINOS of the worst kind.
Holton has been at odds with the party for most of the 20 plus years since he left office. He's no Republican, even though he claims to be one. The endorsement was no surprise. And, his son-in-law is the liberal RAT candidate for Lt. Governor.
Panny Rhodes is just po'd 'cause the party tried to get rid of her last time around and did redistrict her into retiring this time. She's voted with the RATS for years and fought Governor Allen AND Governor Gilmore on all of their major proposals.
And, Judy Peachee Ford, who heads up "Virginians for Warner" is an old GOP has been fund raiser who is ticked because she's no longer relevant.
The big difference is though that those were put up by paid operatives, not by volunteers you'll see putting up our signs. This one is not over yet.
You haven't heard of RINOs??? They'll called that for a reason. We even have a few RINOs on this forum, although no one likes to admit it. I've meet some self-described "Republicans" (and freepers!) that are so screwy they're supporting RENO over Jeb Bush-- let alone the idiots who want to see Warner defeat Earley.
RINOs just mean the rest of us have to work harder. Don't let them distract you-- they only represent 5-10% of the GOP. For every RINO we lose, there is a Democrat we can get to do the same to their side. ;-)
Personally, I believe that he's going to be there ... but I'll be calling and e-mailing the White House just to make sure and I encourage all of us to do the same.
Dubya has learnt from his father's mistakes. I doubt that he will ignore his base and allow the Rats to get those two states.
We'll watch Liberals hand this country over to Castro and Stalin clones and we'll still do nothing but complain and say we're "busy". So don't hold your breath that anyone would take the time to implement your idea - it is very good by the way. I shall take the time to create a "Top X List" and freepmail it over to you by tomorrow even though I am in the UK at the moment.
But you can bet that the same NJ and VA Conservatives who today will not lift a finger to help Earley and Schundler would be the first to complain about Governors Warner and McGreevey. If FreeRepublic were a Liberal site you can bet that the Democrats would be in charge of the House, Senate and White House right now. Libs can mobilize for their cause in an instant. For Conservatives it takes an act of God.
Any Conservative who does nothing, any man or woman who claims to have strongly held principles but refuses to act on them should be ashamed of him/herself. If Schundler or Earley lose these elections it will be partly the fault of false do-nothing so-called "Conservatives" who were too busy to help out but not too busy to whine and complain.
The gun lobby is a bit annoyed at him and may throw a monkey wrench in the campaign. They are a hard group to please. Primadonna's though they are.

Exactly!!!
So how did the shindig with Cheney go? This whole Warner thing has got me worried.
