"If we are going to defeat Barack Obama and restore our conservative priniciples to government we must work together or we will never succeed!" - Rick Santorum

This is YOUR CALL TO ARMS!

The Primary season is barely half over and yet the Establishment GOP thinks they have crowned their victor - Mitt Romney. However these States have yet to vote:

Conneticutt, Delaware, New York, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Indiana, North Carolina, West Virginia, Nebraska, Oregon, Arkansas, Kentucky, Texas, California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, South Dakota and Utah.

19 out of 50 States that have been disenfranchised by the Establishment GOP and a broken election system!  Since when do just a few states  and powerful money PACs get to decide what is best for WE THE PEOPLE?

This is YOUR CALL TO ARMS!

By now I hope that it is clear to most of America that the GOP has set out to silence the voice of the Tea Party Movement by their blatant attacks on all of the Conservative Candidates in the 2012 Election.  One by one they have been picked off by "big money" attacks.  This has been one of the most vicious election cycles in our history against members of our own party!  Romney did not have to destroy his opponents, he only needed to show he was the better candidate - something he did not do!

If you are sick of the way this election has been handled then we need your help and support.  We DO NOT have to take this lying down.  It is bad enough that we must stand and fight against a Socialist President, but the fact that we have had to fend off attacks from our own party is a very difficult pill to swallow.  We cannot wait 4 more years to fix it!  We must stand together, shoulder to shoulder, to fix it NOW!

This is YOUR CALL TO ARMS!

Just before the Revolutionary War broke out, the Colonist faced a similar situation.  They were facing a huge and well funded army and they faced a segment of their neighbors who refused to see the enemy for what it was.  Nobody wanted to believe that they had to resort to arms, nobody wanted to give up their peace, nobody wanted to admit that the time for deciding had come.  But it had come!  And it has also come to us as well.  We have a decision to make.  Will we stand and fight or wil we retreat and be force fed what the Establishment GOP has set before us?

Year after year, we have been told to be quiet and to go along to get along.  We have been told we must accept the lesser of two evils.  We have been told to shut up and sit down!  I don't know about you, but I did not come through 4 years of fighting Obama and his agenda to be defeated by my own Party! 

This is YOUR CALL TO ARMS!

We are told that our focus should be beating Obama.  But is is used as a weapon by our own party to make us do what they want us to do.  If we are ever going to put this Nation back into the hands of the People we must stand up and demand it!  It is very clear now that they are not going to simply hand it over!  We must push back!  We must take a stand and we MUST do it now!  Our beloved America is on life support.  We likely do not have 4 more years or a "next time."  The Patriots of the past had to fight against their own while fighting against the British.  I was not untli Patrick Henry's famous "Call to Arms" Speech that the nation came together to fight the larger enemy.  We are in desperate need to do that now -

This is YOUR CALL TO ARMS!

In the words of Patrick Henry - "It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

I am very excited about the possibilities for what we can continue to accomplish together and I am not backing down from the fight for our conservative ideals. We must and will focus on energizing conservatives so that our values are reflected in our Party platform and our national discourse. If we are going to defeat Barack Obama and restore our conservative principles to government we must work together or we will never succeed.

Thank you for your continued support in this fight,
