Merry Christmas and Happy New Year friends

I just finished attending the Children’s Pageant at Trinity Church, Boston. WONDERFUL! Children portrayed angels, stars, shepherds, ,sheep, angels, … The best!

I wish you and yours a VERY Merry Christmas, and a New Year where we see a brighter future for our nation and the world.

God Bless you all.

God Bless America.

Dear Friends,

I have to tell you: Never, in my wildest imagination, did I see the majority of Americans reelecting a President who holds distain for our Constitution. A piece printed in a Czech newspaper in 2010 sums up the problem:

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."
Czech Republic: Prague newspaper, Prager Zeitung, April 28, 2010

We must do what the “progressives” (socialists) do. We MUST work between elections, not just when elections come up. We must reach out, not pander, to those communities which believe in family, work ethic, religion – yes, the Latino community – and show them they are already us, they just don’t know it. We must reach out, not pander, to those communities who also hold our values and who we, as Republicans, have helped immensely – yes, the black community – by going to war led by the first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, and freeing them; by rallying to defeat the Southern Democrats and muster enough votes to pass the 1963 Civil Rights Act. We must work every day to reeducate those who have been indoctrinated in our schools, to shine the light of Truth on the dogma that so many believe, because they reelected Obama.

I have felt from the onset that we are in a war for the heart and soul of our great nation. After the 2008 election, I saw those true Americans in a state of revolution against the administration and fighting to regain our Constitution, our values, and our Liberty. I saw the rise of the Tea Party to not be a “coincidence.” I saw 2010 as Concord and Lexington and I had hoped 2012 would be Yorktown. I was mistaken and the struggle goes on. We are now in Valley Forge and it will be a tough winter, but we must do more than survive: We must prepare, we must work, we must gather our forces and our strength and we must, as in 2010, come roaring back in 2014. Dig in. Double down. Embrace the new battle cry, “We won’t stand down!” Each election is critical and the future of America relies on us. We stand poised to be the next “Great Generation,” if we are up to the task.

I leave you with two quotes:

"We should never despair, our situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will again. If new difficulties arise, we must only put forth new exertions and proportion our efforts to the exigency of the times." General George Washington at Valley Forge, letter to Philip Schuyler, 1777

“You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.” Ronald Reagan, GOP National Convention, 1964

In Liberty!
