Hello All,
The following is a post I have made both at my personal blog and at Blog for Fred Thompson (BFFT). Enjoy!
I doubt that anyone is going to read this, due to the fact that it has been three days since anyone has posted here at BFFT. However, I wanted to say this anyway. This will be my last post on BFFT. As some of you know I made a post called "The Future of BFFT....Sugestions!!". In that post I made some very good suggestions for this site that could have mobilized the people and made a real tangible difference. Instead of moving in that direction, this site has moved to changing it%u2019s position, and giving its full support to John McCain. It has even gone so far as to start a new site %u201CBlogs for John McCain%u201D. And unlike BFFT where anyone could come and view the posts, you have to sign up and be a member to do anything there. I can see making someone sign up in order to post, but to just view the posts, sounds like an exclusives club to me.
Don%u2019t get me wrong, as I have said, I intent to %u201CClose Ranks%u201D behind John McCain. But just like Fred Thompson gave an endorsement without really endorsing John McCain%u2019s positions or policy proposals, that%u2019s what I intend to do. I will be writing John McCain a very detail letter. I will be sending it to him via e-mail and via regular postal mail. For those who wish to read it I will be posting it at my personal blog Fred and "The Doctrine of Original Intent" in a few days. In this letter I will give John McCain praise in the areas that he has strong conservative positions and for his service to our country. Yet on the flip side, I will be expressing my deep opposition to positions where he is "Left" of conservatism. I will also be making it perfectly clear that my intention will be to support him during his presidency with Blogs, call-ins, and write-ins when he chooses the %u201CRight%u201D path. But I will also be just as diligent to mobilize the people to blog, call-in, and write-in to him and to our other elected officials at the times he chooses the %u201CLeft%u201D path, just like we did during his amnesty bill. I think I intent to be more pro-conservative, pro-federalist, pro-Christian values, anti-left wing, anti-democratic then I plan on being pro-McCain. I believe this is the %u201CStand Strong%u201D %u201CClose Ranks%u201D position that Fred Thompson was speaking of.
In my attempt to move forward the suggestions I made for BFFT I have found a site/ group that intends on doing the very things I talked about. Please jump over to "Conservatives for the Advancement of The Reagan Coalition" and take a look at what we are doing. The joining of the "Texas FredHeads", "FredHeadsUSA", and "DraftFredThompson" sites created this site. Notice that they also intend on having regional sites as well. One %u201CNorth East%u201D is already up and running, I will be working on the %u201CNorth Central%u201D. If you are looking to get involved and %u201CStand Strong%u201D please (join) us.
As always I want to thank everyone for being involved and making a difference, I pray that all of you receive the many blessings Jesus Christ wishes to give each of us, even you Hal, Shane (Hangmann747)
