The Blue Dog Democrats are the key to stopping Obama’s Government Run Healthcare. Their names and phone numbers are given below. Please call and tell them all to vote NO on the Government takeover of Health Care. Their local offices as well as their Washington DC office numbers are listed.  Use Washington DC office numbers first if they are given; if they do not answer, phone another office.  All are listed because you may not be able to get through to one of the numbers. Be adamant but polite.  If told you are not in their district, please reply that this is national legislation affecting all citizens and you are a citizen of the United States!

John McCain has proven once again that he is a true maverick and not afraid to challenge the status quo with a truly remarkable choice for his running mate.  As a conservative woman, I have been following the career of Sarah Palin with interest and pride, often pointing to her as a role model for my own daughter.

Like John McCain, Governor Palin has proven her courage in standing up to corrupt politicians, wasteful spenders, and special interests.  Like John McCain, Governor Palin has even been strong enough to challenge those within our own Party when they do not serve the interests of the voters.

Sarah Palin became Governor by taking down corrupt Republicans in Alaska, and by challenging the incumbent Republican who had forgotten the conservative values that should guide our party.  She is a reformer with solid conservative credentials. She is pro-life, pro-traditional marriage and is a proud supporter of the rights of gun owners.

Most importantly, unlike her counterpart on the Democratic ticket, Governor Palin’s experience isn’t in a broken Washington DC and it isn’t in committee meetings. She has had to make tough decisions and execute those decisions.  Senator Biden has spent decades in Washington, and it doesn’t seem to have improved with his presence there.  Perhaps it’s time we sent a tough woman to do the job. 

I commend Senator McCain for his decision and am excited about the chance to see Governor Sarah Palin here in Minnesota in a few short days.

As Republican Women, we are always looking for good conservative candidates to support.  Polly Thomas is just that. (more…)
