The Opportunity of a Lifetime

It's too good to be true.

I did a little research today on the Senate and House elections of November 2010. The facts blew me away.

The Senate has 36 of the 100 seats up for grabs and the House of Representatives has ALL 435 seats being voted on in this election.

Do you realize what that means? We could make a historic impact on American politics in one single election. If we could fill the 36 Senate seats with independent, non-partisan, moral, responsible citizens, sanity would control 36% of the Senate. That's huge! And in the House, if all incumbents could be unseated by rational candidates, the revolution would be complete. America would return to normalcy almost overnight!

President Obama would have no venue for his liberal, left-wing policies. Bills would get read and debated before being voted on. Congress would actually be working for the people of the United States rather than the special interest groups that have bought influence for years. Politics in America would be instantly transformed. True transparency would come to Capital Hill.

Be still my heart! However, to make this happen will take a lot of work. There is only 14 months until the election and a ton of work to be done. Funds need to be raised, candidates chosen and placed on the ballots and word of this movement needs to get out to every American voter.

I have already sent out an email to everyone I know and my wife has done the same. I am hoping that those that get the email will forward it to everyone they know and it will go viral around the US. I have my fingers crossed. I have already gotten a few encouraging feedback comments and they all have been positive. If you've received the email, please pass it on to everyone in your email address book. I need tons of help here.

I feel very much like David going up against Goliath. I've got 5 stones and a slingshot, he's got heavy armor and a huge sword. All we need is one well-placed stone, though, to down the giant. I have faith that we can do it.

This historic opportunity will not come again for another 6 years for Senate seats or 4 years for House seats. This means that Nancy Pelosi can be given her walking papers and we won't have to tolerate any more of her insults to the American public.

Some of the races are uncontested. We need to get candidates in there to give people a choice. Some of the races seem to be a sure thing for the incumbent. We need to challenge them with our candidates. Some of the races only have partisan (Repub or Demo) candidates. We need to give people a choice to break away from party politics.

I'm not afraid of hard work in the face of overwhelming odds. Are you? If not, let's band together and let Washington here that cry of Patrick Henry's: "Give me liberty or give me death!"

Join me in making history.

Good night, America. Sleep the sleep of a clear conscience.
