[Originally e-mailed to family/friends on Feb. 4, 2008, this post has proven to be spot on. Our nation has suffered due to the election of persons who care not for the representation of the values of the majority of Americans, but rather their own political and ideological agendas. Pretty speeches and promises of largesse do not a statesman make.]
With what is at stake for the American family, we believe that this could well be the most important election of our lifetime.
I had a third-grade teacher, strict, wise, and beloved, who once pointed out that when in doubt as to the correct choice on a test, one should first attempt to weed out the wrong choices and then to proceed from there.
Using this simple methodology, the following questions come to mind:
- Should one vote for a candidate who does not support the preeminent plank(s) in their party’s platform?
- As a person of faith, should one vote for a candidate whose absolute solidarity with his/her core principles and values is less than a probable certainty?
- Should one, based upon biased information blared through corrupt and un-churched media elites, their masters, and their surrogates, cast a vote, not for who –should- be in office but for the candidate who “can win?”
- Finally, and I would posit -- most importantly, can one, in good conscience, vote for a candidate who will not pledge to hold sacrosanct and immutable the very first of the “Creator-endowed” rights delineated in our Declaration of Independence – the “self-evident” foundations which led ultimately to the legal instrument which serves to codify the governance of our more perfect Union, these United States of America?
We are certainly aware that not all people of good conscience will necessarily agree on many things, let alone those with regard to law and politics. However, we believe that the political party, the Republican Party, which has and does continue to hold the Sanctity of Human Life as a major supportive plank in its platform must provide its constituents with candidates holding to the same (the Democratic Party is for Abortion on Demand – without parental consent for minors, through all nine months of pregnancy, and without the need for a medically compelling reason).
And now we would leave you with this quote, taken from the National Right to Life PAC’s “Statement on Presidential Candidates.” This is the largest pro-life PAC in the nation. The following statement is not a candidate endorsement, but it speaks to the subject of this e-mail:
National Right to Life is grateful for the strong pro-life record established by Mike Huckabee as governor of Arkansas, and recognizes that Governor Huckabee has taken the strongest pro-life position on all of the life issues of any of the remaining candidates for president.
Finally, if we had told you five months ago that Gov. Huckabee would be in serious contention for delegates come super-Tuesday, would you have believed?
