269 Days until Election Day

MORNING UPDATE:

I’ve received a lot of emails this weekend about “uniting our party” and others expressing “frustration” over how the process is developing. My advice…keep the faith.

The process is moving forward, we all work for the candidates we support in the primary…and then work hard to unite behind our nominee. McCain, Huckabee and Paul are still in the race, it’s working itself out…we’ll know more after Tuesday.

Thanks for all of those from Michigan who went to CPAC. A special thanks for those of you who helped us send almost 150 College Republicans to Washington for this conference.

The 36th Annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) will be held on February 26 - 28, 2009, at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC.

The American Conservative Union is the key sponsor of CPAC…see info below:

Now Michigan and Florida Democrats are considering holding a second Democrat Caucus to “re-pick” their delegates…nice…thanks for letting the people have a choice!

The Democratic nominee maybe decided by their “backroom political bosses” called “Super Delegates”. The party of the people??? Ha…this is almost too good to be true.

The best the Democrats have to offer….Senators Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.

Qualified? Experienced? Trustworthy? Ready to be Commander in Chief NOW???

THE REST OF THE STORY:

This weekend many Michigan Republicans spent the weekend at the CPAC conference sponsored by the American Conservative Union. I thought I would share some of their Statement of Principles:

• We believe that the Constitution of the United States is the best political charter yet created by men for governing themselves. It is our belief that the Constitution is designed to guarantee the free exercise of the inherent rights of the individual through strictly limiting the power of government.

We reaffirm our belief in the Declaration of Independence, and in particular the belief that our inherent rights are endowed by the Creator. We further believe that our liberties can remain secure only if government is so limited that it cannot infringe upon those rights.

• We believe that capitalism is the only economic system of our time that is compatible with political liberty. It has not only brought a higher standard of living to a greater number of people than any other economic system in the history of mankind; more important, it has been a decisive instrument in preserving freedom through maintaining private control of economic power and thus limiting the power of government.

• We believe that collectivism and capitalism are incompatible, and that when government competes with capitalism, it jeopardizes the natural economic growth of our society and the well-being and freedom of the citizenry.

• We believe that it is the responsibility of the individual citizen, whenever his inherent rights are threatened from within or without, to join together with other individuals to protect these rights, or, when they have been temporarily lost, to regain them.

• We believe that any responsible conservative organization must conduct itself within the framework of the Constitution; in pursuance of this belief we refuse to countenance any actions which conflict in any way with the traditions of the American political system.
