DALLAS — During a recent swing through Houston, Galveston, and Dallas, presidential candidate Alan Keyes told voters they don't need to settle for a candidate who isn't a true conservative. "I stood up to run for president this time because I feel people ought always to have [a] choice — a choice they don't have to be ashamed of, they don't have to excuse, they don't have to apologize for, and finally, most importantly, a choice that represents them," Keyes told one group. Keyes said that when he looked at the field of candidates back in September, he felt "like...

Don't hold your nose! Go away from the polling booth with a clear conscience as to whom you stand for! Since Mitt Romney decided to drop out of the presidential race, conservatives have expressed to me that they feel John McCain is the only current choice to vote for, and that they will hold their nose when they do so. Well, if John McCain is the only one who supposedly is running on the Republican ticket, there really isn't a race during the primaries, is there? Believe it or not, there are 2 other Republican candidates (other than Mike Huckabee...

Why has the campaign of Alan Keyes, who has been dedicated to the causes we hold dear for years, been so neglected by Christian and conservative media and organizations? Alan Keyes came to Florida with constitutional argument in hand for Jeb Bush to prevent the deliberate starvation of Terri Shiavo. He stood with Judge Roy Moore when he was rejected for his installation of a historical monument including the Ten Commandments. He has stood for a chaplain who was reprimanded for praying in Jesus' name. He has stood with Minutemen by our borders where our federal government fails to carry...

For years now, as conservatives, we’ve blamed liberals for the progressive decline and destruction of America, but today we’re facing an even greater crisis. The Republican Party has lost its moral compass--having all but severed the cord connecting us to the Anchor that has stabilized and held us together for so long. They are casting us adrift amidst political and global upheaval--both at home and abroad--that is creating incoming political tides of tsunamic proportion. With open borders allowing--or rather inviting--thousands of illegal aliens to enter this country daily, there is no hope of preventing the kind of vicious terrorist attacks...

Have you ever asked yourself why the Democratic frontrunner —whoever that may be at the moment — is never mistaken for a closet Republican? Do you ever hear liberals complaining that their party has abandoned them, wishing there was a candidate they could support wholeheartedly — or wondering why the leadership of the various facets of their movement has jumped ship, endorsing someone who holds views antithetical to those the leaders themselves say they stand for? When’s the last time you heard a person planning to vote in the Democratic primaries being lectured about the fact that the vast majority...

Alan Keyes calling for America’s move back to the ‘Kingdom of God’ By Nick Georgiou Staff Reporter San Marcos — GOP Presidential Candidate Alan Keyes considers himself the complete conservative. He's against abortion, gay marriage, the welfare system and the income tax. And he believes America has moved from “the kingdom of God to the kingdom of darkness - of lies and deception.” Keyes was in San Marcos Friday to discuss this issue and gain support as part of a six-week grassroots tour of Texas. He is no stranger to government. For almost three decades, Keyes, who earned a doctorate...

ST. GEORGE, Utah — Alan Keyes came in third in a presidential straw poll conducted Tuesday by the St. George unit of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies.

America is missing out on Alan Keyes. Many conservatives have told me they didn't even know Keyes was running for President...he is. Keyes has announced his candidacy since September 2007. The media and the Republican Party don't hesitate to leave him out of debates or the spotlight even though he has declared he's running and has not dropped out of the race. Iowa's caucuses were on Jan. 3rd. Iowa's Republican Party has yet to disclose the number of votes Alan Keyes received in Iowa. John Lund of the Des Moines, Iowa Republican Headquarters said, "We didn't have the electronic means...

January 4, 2008 Alan Keyes for President DES MOINES, Iowa — The Iowa Republican Party has neither counted nor reported the number of votes for Alan Keyes in the GOP caucuses held Jan. 3. "We didn't have the electronic means to record the tallies for Keyes, so we can't yet report to the public how many votes Keyes got," said John Lund at the Iowa GOP headquarters in Des Moines. "We can't report the Keyes votes until we've double-checked each individual paper ballot." Meanwhile, the Iowa GOP widely reported the vote tallies of all other candidates, including Tom Tancredo, who...

Linda Temme of Le Mars said she was looking for a Republican candidate for president that would not be afraid to speak the truth. She has apparently found her man in Alan Keyes. "I think he is wonderful," smiled Temme as she grabbed some of Keyes' literature on her way out the door after hearing the former U.S. Ambassador speak on Tuesday night at the Plymouth County Historical Museum in Le Mars. Keyes, a resident of Maryland and frequent candidate for office, spoke to a crowd of about 20 during an hour and a half campaign event that included passionate...

As a Christian conservative, I have made the conscious decision to support Alan Keyes for president. Mr. Keyes closely mirrors what I'd like to see in our next president. I do hold in high esteem a candidate who will acknowledge, and has ALWAYS acknowledged, Almighty God as our nation's up-lifter and helper. Alan Keyes recognizes our nation and Founding Fathers' reliance on Almighty God that is evidenced in the Declaration of Independence and other historic documents. A statement on www.AlanKeyes.com reads: Foremost among the Declaration principles that Dr. Keyes believes should guide interpretation of the Constitution are these: 1. All...

More on That Anti-Romney Iowa TV ad December 23, 2007 11:39 AM As we reported on the blog yesterday, a group calling itself American Right to Life Action, is running TV ads against Mitt Romney here in Iowa on the Fox News Channel. In Tuftonboro, N.H., Romney said about the ad, from ABC News' Matt Stuart, "I don't know who that is. I'd be interested to know who is really behind that group.

At the Pizza Ranch restaurant, in Rock Valley, Iowa, Tuesday morning, Keyes told folks why he's running for president. Keyes thinks the country has lost it's "moral direction" and that God does have a place in politics and education.

Editor's Note: This is the seventh in a series of question-and-answer sessions with candidates for the office of president. Today, Alan Keyes says the American ideal of self-government itself is under assault, and depends on the 2008 election to survive. © 2007 WorldNetDaily.com WND: What are the key issues you are raising in your campaign that other campaigns are not addressing? Keyes: I think the major issue that faces the country right now is not being addressed by anyone and that is the fact that our system of self-government is under assault and is collapsing on every front, and not...

At last report, all major Republican candidates except former NY mayor Rudy Giuliani have also accepted the invitation to participate.
