		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Get Out And Vote&lt;/strong&gt; I think that all Iowans will get out and vote on Jan 3rd. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why?&#160; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Because this year all 50 States have their eyes on Iowa. If Iowans aren&#039;t going to step up to the plate and actually vote, I can assure you that 2008 will be the last BIG caucus held in IOWA.&#160; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Americans already feel that Iowa has too much power and does not represent all of America. If you add to that the fact that young voters are not getting out the vote in Iowa... well, wouldn&#039;t that look a bit like Iowa is shriveling up ... or what?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;In sum, then, if Iowa wants to save the Caucus, it needs to encourage the young voters to turn out.&#160;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Ron Paul&lt;/strong&gt; We have survived&#160; 8 years of Sleaze, Scandal, and Corruption under Bill and Hillery followed by 8 years of Arrogance, Corruption, Criminal Incompetent&#160; and Gross Stupidly under&#160; Bush Jr.. and Chicken Hawk&#160; Chaney. The commonality among them is although they were from different parties both were terrible. Either party cared about our Constitution and the rule of Law&#160; but served their selves first, the party second and the&#160; special interests third. It is increasingly looking like this Nation cannot survive more years as the same type of Corrupt, Self serving, Worthless Politicians.&#160; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now both parties seen to have the nearly the same type candidates seeking our vote. From the polls it seems we have learned very little in the least 16 years and seen to prefer Sleaze, Corruption and Lies over Honor, Principles and our Constitution &amp; the Rule of law and Love of our Country or Ron Paul would win the election by a wide margin.&#160;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Huhm&lt;/strong&gt; Russell I hate to tell you this, but this article is about Ron Paul. To be honest with you Duncan Hunter has around 1% the chance that Ron Paul has. Duncan Hunter missed ballot access in 5 states already. Now if you are true to your wanting to help America by securing the border than Ron Paul is indeed the last man standing for you.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;My Fellow American&#039;s&lt;/strong&gt; My Fellow American&#039;s now more than ever the time has come to evaluate the Republican Candidates for President.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As time passes, we are learning more about the top-tier candidates for the Republican nomination. We are learning where they stand on the issues that face this nation. I&#039;m learning some candidates hold positions on issues that cause me concern and I wonder, do you feel the same? &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;As a Reagan Republican, I&#039;m looking for someone who is a true conservative, a straight talker, and someone who understands the dangers America faces. I&#039;m looking for someone who has shown he can win over Independents and Conservative Democrats. I&#039;m looking for someone that adheres to the Reagan philosophy on all issues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now more than ever in this day and time we the people are responsible for the character of our Government. If that Government body is ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, which it is, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If our Government is intelligent, brave, and moral, it is because the people demand high standards of our representatives in the national legislature. So, I ask you, what is it that you demand?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;From within the current candidates vying for the GOP nomination, I have found a candidate that holds these high standards and I would like to suggest you take a look at Congressman Duncan Hunter for President.&#160; I&#039;m not a high-powered campaign operative; I&#039;m just a regular guy with 3 children who&#039;s a Reagan conservative. Let me share some of the reasons with you that I have chosen to support Duncan Hunter for President.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Today, it seems some have forgotten our beginnings. Instead of Americans with a shared vision, we have become a nation divided. We have become a nation of individuals and groups, each with a special interest vision, often without thought for what is best for the nation. We are, however, a nation that at one time had an immutable vision for all. Duncan Hunter is a man that has a vision for the nation, a vision that includes all men and it&#039;s the&#160; same vision that our Founding Fathers held for this nation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Duncan Hunter supports:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Duncan Hunter believe that God has endowed men with certain inalienable&#160; rights as set forth in the in the Declaration of Independence and that no legislature and no majority, however great, may morally limit or destroy these; that the sole function of government is to protect life, liberty, and property and anything more than this is usurpation and oppression.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;1) Securing our Borders - Duncan Hunter wrote the bill to build a border fence across the southern border.&#160; He built the fence in San Diego. Duncan Hunter supports our border patrol agents and is a strong advocate for the release of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;2) Our Military and their Mission - a decorated Vietnam Army Ranger with 26 years on the Armed Services Committee. Duncan Hunter has the experience to lead America in a time of war.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;3) Fair Trade Policies - Duncan Hunter Insists trading partners such as China stop cheating on trade agreements.&#160; Duncan Hunter will protect American Jobs. This is not protectionism, but fair and equitable trade.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;4) The Sanctity of Life - Duncan Hunter has earned a 100% rating from the National Right to Life, Concerned Women for America, Eagle Forum, and the Family Research Council.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;5) The 2nd Amendment - Duncan Hunter earned an A+ rating from the National Rifle Association and an A from Gun Owners of America.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;These are the Conservative Values of the Republican Party. Let&#039;s face it, the Republican nominee is going to get support from many quarters because of whom the Democrats are going to nominate. They just don&#039;t share the values of mainstream America. Why not nominate a candidate who supports conservative values. History shows when we nominate Presidential candidates with strong conservative credentials, we win elections.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;When we don&#039;t, we lose. Incidentally, Duncan Hunter first won his seat in a heavily Democrat District against a sitting Congressman, so he has proven that he can win as a conservative.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;So, I say to you, as a Reagan Republican, I will vote for Duncan Hunter and work to put him in the White House 2008. Please take time to give Duncan Hunter another look, as I did. There is much work to be done. Time is short. Let&#039;s begin - in earnest - and may God Bless our efforts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;PS:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I invite you to join the Duncan Hunter team for America at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gohunter08.com/index.asp&quot;&gt;http://www.gohunter0...&lt;/a&gt; and help put him in the White House in 2008. I ask you to donate all you can for America and Freedom, donate to the candidacy of Duncan Hunter.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Respectfully, &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Russell M.

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Get Out And Vote&lt;/strong&gt; I think that all Iowans will get out and vote on Jan 3rd. &lt;p&gt;
Why?&#160; &lt;p&gt;
Because this year all 50 States have their eyes on Iowa. If Iowans aren&#039;t going to step up to the plate and actually vote, I can assure you that 2008 will be the last BIG caucus held in IOWA.&#160; &lt;p&gt;

In sum, then, if Iowa wants to save the Caucus, it needs to encourage the young voters to turn out.&#160;</description>

Duncan Hunter supports:&lt;p&gt;
Duncan Hunter believe that God has endowed men with certain inalienable&#160; rights as set forth in the in the Declaration of Independence and that no legislature and no majority, however great, may morally limit or destroy these; that the sole function of government is to protect life, liberty, and property and anything more than this is usurpation and oppression.&lt;p&gt;

As time passes, we are learning more about the top-tier candidates for the Republican nomination. We are learning where they stand on the issues that face this nation. I&#8217;m learning some candidates hold positions on issues that cause me concern and I wonder, do you feel the same?
<p>
As a Reagan Republican, I&#8217;m looking for someone who is a true conservative, a straight talker, and someone who understands the dangers America faces. I&#8217;m looking for someone who has shown he can win over Independents and Conservative Democrats. I&#8217;m looking for someone that adheres to the Reagan philosophy on all issues.</p>
<p>
Now more than ever in this day and time we the people are responsible for the character of our Government. If that Government body is ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, which it is, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If our Government is intelligent, brave, and moral, it is because the people demand high standards of our representatives in the national legislature. So, I ask you, what is it that you demand?</p>
<p>
From within the current candidates vying for the GOP nomination, I have found a candidate that holds these high standards and I would like to suggest you take a look at Congressman Duncan Hunter for President.&nbsp; I&#8217;m not a high-powered campaign operative; I&#8217;m just a regular guy with 3 children who&#8217;s a Reagan conservative. Let me share some of the reasons with you that I have chosen to support Duncan Hunter for President.</p>
<p>
Today, it seems some have forgotten our beginnings. Instead of Americans with a shared vision, we have become a nation divided. We have become a nation of individuals and groups, each with a special interest vision, often without thought for what is best for the nation. We are, however, a nation that at one time had an immutable vision for all. Duncan Hunter is a man that has a vision for the nation, a vision that includes all men and it&#8217;s the&nbsp; same vision that our Founding Fathers held for this nation.</p>
<p>
Duncan Hunter supports:</p>
<p>
Duncan Hunter believe that God has endowed men with certain inalienable&nbsp; rights as set forth in the in the Declaration of Independence and that no legislature and no majority, however great, may morally limit or destroy these; that the sole function of government is to protect life, liberty, and property and anything more than this is usurpation and oppression.</p>
<p>
1) Securing our Borders &#8211; Duncan Hunter wrote the bill to build a border fence across the southern border.&nbsp; He built the fence in San Diego. Duncan Hunter supports our border patrol agents and is a strong advocate for the release of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean.</p>
<p>
2) Our Military and their Mission &#8211; a decorated Vietnam Army Ranger with 26 years on the Armed Services Committee. Duncan Hunter has the experience to lead America in a time of war.</p>
<p>
3) Fair Trade Policies &#8211; Duncan Hunter Insists trading partners such as China stop cheating on trade agreements.&nbsp; Duncan Hunter will protect American Jobs. This is not protectionism, but fair and equitable trade.</p>
<p>
4) The Sanctity of Life &#8211; Duncan Hunter has earned a 100% rating from the National Right to Life, Concerned Women for America, Eagle Forum, and the Family Research Council.</p>
<p>
5) The 2nd Amendment &#8211; Duncan Hunter earned an A+ rating from the National Rifle Association and an A from Gun Owners of America.</p>
<p>
These are the Conservative Values of the Republican Party. Let&#8217;s face it, the Republican nominee is going to get support from many quarters because of whom the Democrats are going to nominate. They just don&#8217;t share the values of mainstream America. Why not nominate a candidate who supports conservative values. History shows when we nominate Presidential candidates with strong conservative credentials, we win elections.</p>
<p>
When we don&#8217;t, we lose. Incidentally, Duncan Hunter first won his seat in a heavily Democrat District against a sitting Congressman, so he has proven that he can win as a conservative.</p>
<p>
So, I say to you, as a Reagan Republican, I will vote for Duncan Hunter and work to put him in the White House 2008. Please take time to give Duncan Hunter another look, as I did. There is much work to be done. Time is short. Let&#8217;s begin &#8211; in earnest &#8211; and may God Bless our efforts.</p>
<p>
PS:<br />
I invite you to join the Duncan Hunter team for America at <a href="http://www.gohunter08.com/index.asp"></a><a href="http://www.gohunter0.." rel="nofollow">http://www.gohunter0..</a>. and help put him in the White House in 2008. I ask you to donate all you can for America and Freedom, donate to the candidacy of Duncan Hunter.</p>
<p>
Respectfully, <br />
Russell M. Scott </p>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Huhm&lt;/strong&gt; Russell I hate to tell you this, but this article is about Ron Paul. To be honest with you Duncan Hunter has around 1% the chance that Ron Paul has. Duncan Hunter missed ballot access in 5 states already. Now if you are true to your wanting to help America by securing the border than Ron Paul is indeed the last man standing for you.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Ron Paul&lt;/strong&gt; We have survived&#160; 8 years of Sleaze, Scandal, and Corruption under Bill and Hillery followed by 8 years of Arrogance, Corruption, Criminal Incompetent&#160; and Gross Stupidly under&#160; Bush Jr.. and Chicken Hawk&#160; Chaney. The commonality among them is although they were from different parties both were terrible. Either party cared about our Constitution and the rule of Law&#160; but served their selves first, the party second and the&#160; special interests third. It is increasingly looking like this Nation cannot survive more years as the same type of Corrupt, Self serving, Worthless Politicians.&#160; &lt;p&gt;
Now both parties seen to have the nearly the same type candidates seeking our vote. From the polls it seems we have learned very little in the least 16 years and seen to prefer Sleaze, Corruption and Lies over Honor, Principles and our Constitution &amp; the Rule of law and Love of our Country or Ron Paul would win the election by a wide margin.&#160;</description>
