You vote not just for a President

This November when you go to vote, you are voting for more than just a President you are voting for up to three Supreme Court justices, you are voting for the next four years of federal courts - including appellate. I stress the courts of appeal because it is there that liberal judges have done a number on the rule of law. The 9th Circuit (read: California liberal) has do some much damage to conservative values that it is almost unbelievable.

Not every Republican, not every conservative agrees full force with the party line, but as a Republican, as a conservative, we all must understand that winning 80% of the time is much better than only winning 20%.

This also goes for all House of Representative and Senate votes. Remember: Control of the House and the Senate enable Republicans to set the tone, the pace, and the agenda for the nation. Hopefully, with 9/11 going further into the distant past, and the wars in the Middle East should stabilize as more domestic forces are trained, we can have not just a Republican Congress, but a CONSERVATIVE Congress that is much more fiscally in control.

When a nation faces so many threats from so many sources it is not the time to try some sort of good-will attitude with global tests, or even global justifications. Nor is it time for talk to countries who do not really want to talk; trying to negotiate with the same nations making money in the Oil for Blood, I mean Oil for Food Program run by the United Nations.

France's Chirac has come out condemning American culture and influence, yet the Democrats want to build coalitions with them.

You vote not just for a President, you vote for a way of governing. Your vote speaks out loud saying that America and America alone will decide what America does, and your vote also says that America is smart and wise enough to make decisions on its own without having to discuss the interests of other nations.

When you go to vote this year it will be important and historic. Who's side will you be on when the vote is counted?
