Mitt Romney for President!

As we approach the first in the nation caucuses and primaries in January, I wanted to share why I have decided to publicly endorse and actively work in support of Mitt Romney's effort to seek the Republican nomination for President of the United States. There are four primary reasons for my support:

Never turn your back on the enemy.  Especially if the end result of all their efforts is to relieve you of your part in the decision making process.  The electoral college, as well as the establishment of the Senate was designed to protect state's interests in the face of ever wavering "POPULAR OPINION".  The masses as we see all too often with reactionary effect respond to media driven impulses.

And media as we have known it can no longer be trusted.

It has become heavily manipulated by leftists with wads of cash. Like JON SOROS (George Soro's Son):

"The Constitution is no longer in line with our expectations regarding the role of the people in selecting the president.  ... Under the proposed National Popular Vote compact, state legislatures would agree to choose electors who promise to support the winner of the nationwide popular vote."

Soros has bankrolled the NPV movement, and we have Republicans in this state who actually think its a good idea.

That AlGore should have won?

The letter is very clear about the protections afforded smaller states with regard to the electoral college.  It also touches on the spawning of the recent movement trying to advance NPV. The letter is in support of the electoral college as it is.  In fact as it concludes:

"It Underscores the importance of federalism to the founders and it embodies the balance they aimed to achieve through deference to states with smaller populations and by insuring that the interest of these states be reflected in national decision-making."

Ain't gonna happen.

The legislature is back in session, Matt Lori (R-Constantine) is planning on introducing the NPVIC bill, and I'm told that the NPV supporters are trolling the halls of the state capitol, looking for supporters.

I have already spoken with the offices of:

Representatives:

• Bolger
  
• Yonker
  
• MacGregor
  
• Agema
  
• Hooker
  
• Lyons
  
• Rendon
  

    and two Democrats who owe me a favor

Senators:

• Booher
  
• Emmons
  
• Hildenbrand
  
• Jansen
  
• Meekhof
  
• Moolenaar
  
• Richardville
  
• Schuitmaker

The only response that I have so far is from Dave Agema's office . . . he will be voting "no" on this.  I'm still waiting to hear from the rest.

The Progressive left is determined to transform our republic into a unitary state with one political party--theirs. What would that look like? Perhaps something like the social democracies of Western Europe or maybe democratic republics of the former Eastern Europe Soviet bloc. With policy being guided by radical Marxists in the current White House, the goal could be a full-blown communist utopia. Maybe they don't even know where they're headed.

The point is, we do. The Founders understood the dangers of autocratic government. They knew, because they studied Aristotle, that the people could be swayed by pleasing orators and fair-sounding lies. The fact is, We the People also need to be checked against the passions of the moment, against the false promises of the snake-oil salesman.

Those republicans who have fallen for the fairness trap need to brush up on checks and balances.

Oh yeah.. Our troll Mr "Kohler" should recognize his modus operandi :

"I received five very long rebuttals from the same untraceable ... They arrived 1 minute apart. Overwhelm the opposition: typical leftist tactic."

GOP Gives NPV A Big Thumbs Down.

Kudos to NRC chair Reince Priebus for nipping this in the bud.
