Nothing anyone can add to the words of President Reagan. He was the first President I voted for and these videos make me realize how much I miss him. I pray our Nation finds a man of such stature today; clarity, confidence, charisma... CHARACTER.

More Thoughts on New York 23
I wrote this in an email for my sister, asking her to share the last NY 23 post with a few of her friends, colleagues. Decided I'd just put it here, too.
I can't even begin to link to the thousands of posts and tweets that mirror my sentiments. Or communicate the groundswell of enthusiasm, anger, determination... that this is not going to be business-as-usual. This is the first salvo. Ignore us now at your peril in 2010.
Gov Pawlenty (MN) endorsed Hoffman today. You'll see more getting on the bandwagon, but where were they BEFORE it became politically expedient to endorse? Support Hoffman or look like a loser. Try and claim leadership of a grassroots tidal wave and lose even more--
And where is Huckabee, and Romney? Newt is nuts. I appreciate what he did in '94 and the Contract With America, but he needs to focus on being a historian. He belongs in the past. We need new leadership.
And we'll find it on our own. No party is going to corrupt this movement. NY 23 is the catalyst and I think it will be a blowout for Hoffman.
"Can you hear us now?", is not directed to the administration only.

REPUBLICAN Attack Ad Targets CONSERVATIVE Doug Hoffman, NY 23
I can't believe the National Republican Congressional Committee is targeting the only conservative in the NY 23 race. People, like me, who support Doug Hoffman, who contribute to his campaign, but do not live in New York are being accused of meddling. Newt Gingrich's spokesman, Rick Tyler, appearing on Neil Cavuto's show, asserts that if conservatives don't vote for Scuzzy, then it will be our fault if the democrat is elected.
Excuse me? A vote for Scuzzy is a vote for Owens is a vote for the democrat. There is no difference in ideology or practice. So if conservatives vote values, Newt and Tyler will claim the conservatives gave the election to the democrat. They don't get it. A democrat wins UNLESS voters stand on principle and vote for the conservative.
Even if Hoffman loses (which I don't think will happen), even if he loses, surely the republican leadership will see that if they don't select, endorse, promote conservative candidates, then they can't expect voters to simply check the box next to the candidate with the (R) behind his name.
It won't be "We the People" who cost the election(s). It will be the tone-deaf, entrenched, out-of-touch republican leadership who refuse to acknowledge that the Tea Party movement -- the FISCAL Conservative, personal RESPONSIBILITY, robust national DEFENSE -- that the Tea Party Patriots are fed up with all politicians.
I know it can happen because I was at the 912 March on the Capitol and it was all ages, all political ideologies, all walks of life, all AMERICANS. Each ready to vote for whomever we believe will restore our Nation to the Constitutional Republic our Founders fought and sacrificed to form.

The third-party-can't-win scare tactics have gone on too long. The voters of NY 23 have a unique opportunity to send a message to the entire Nation by voting their values and not the party. NY 23 can be the beginning of real CHANGE.
