As the year 2010 begins and the election cycle for national congressional seats tightens, the primary will of the people is clear—to secure the nominations and election of representatives that have proven themselves to be dedicated to the defense of our nation’s founding principles and core values.  Each candidate which steps forward is cheerfully and warmly welcomed and greatly appreciated for their courageous decision. Their commitment to speak boldly and clearly in response to the peoples demands will be tested.  Success hinges on our unity in beliefs and purpose.  This is the critical element of the present election process, since we are now at the place where we must restore the foundations of our Republic, or lose it.  William Shakespear spoke of such a time as this when he wrote “There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood leads on to fortune.”  Today is the time, our will the flood and our children’s liberty the fortune.
