Within the media, on the 'net waves and within the latest movements designed to work towards restoring our Republic back to the people, we encounter continuous arguments regarding "Independents'" effects on the Republican Party. We also hear continuous arguments as to how the difference between moderates and conservatives are leading to a deleterious affect on the Republican Party. Those who know my views should recognize that I am an independent philosopher of politics who supports our Constitutional principles as designed by our Founding Fathers. For the sake of argument, allow me to focus on the problems within the Republican Party with a few points of opinion:
1. Senator McCain lost the 2008 election because of his "compromising" approach towards resolving legislative issues during his political career. This is a definition of a moderate Republican and this approach is what disenfranchised so many conservative voters who chose not to vote for McCain. His campaign's mismanagement of Palin's conservative voice led to the same problems with conservative voters. Despite her immediate attraction to conservatives following the VP announcement, the McCain campaign staff became just as guilty of degrading Palin as the liberals, because she was not a compromiser. Check out your political history and you'll see this same mistake of those moderate/compromising Presidents (regardless of partY)of the past.
2. Everyone must clearly define their principles and values of either small government, constitutional principles as written and designed, and defined morals and Christian ethics or those principles of large government involvement, spending policies that leave the country in continuous debt, disregard of constitutional rights and mandates, and lack of Christian ethics (in other words, liberal approaches). There is no longer any room for compromising between the two approaches.
3. The current Republican National Committee is undergoing internal issues as to where their real platform is aimed towards. Moderate thinkers (who haven't been listening lately anymore than liberal thinkers) are in conflict with conservative thinkers in establishing a clear policy and platform. Michael Steele has his hands full in establishing a viable and believable platform for the party. This has been recognized by the RGA (Republican Governors Association) in particular.
4. As We, the People, it is well past time to get past arguing about moderates vs. conservatives. We, the People now have the opportunity to work together in selecting, campaigning and electing candidates on the local, state and federal levels of government who believe in the American spirit and ability, reflects principles and values, morals and Christian ethics that you believe in, supports our Constitutional rights as granted to us, and are running for office not because they want to be or are a politician but because they desire to represent their electorate rightfully, yet have some reluctance to run for office. When you have someone who is reluctant to run for office, you have a true Patriot who sees the need to have honorable men and women to represent We, the People in their applicable areas.

CALLS FOR MIRACLE PRAYERS

> There is no other way to say this: Danny has been given 8 to 12 weeks to live.
This is a call for a Miracle Prayer. Danny is the young son of a good friend of mine, Holly Pipkin McDonnell. Holly and I grew up together as neighbors and friends for many years. Her young son, Danny, has been suffering thru an aggressive cancer which has migrated thru his body. Despite chemotherapy treatments, now it appears that Danny has a limited time with us on earth, according to the doctors.
BUT I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!! HOLLY AND HER HUSBAND WERE NOT BLESSED WITH THE PRESCENCE OF DANNY ONLY TO BE TAKEN AWAY AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE. OUR FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST PERFORM MIRACLES EVERY DAY AND NOW IT IS TIME TO ASK FOR ONE MORE MIRACLE. THE GREATEST PRAYER THAT WE CAN GIVE TO OUR FATHER IS THE UNSELFISH PRAYER FOR OTHERS, NOT FOR OURSELVES. IF WE LOOK TO SACRIFICE A PIECE OF US, IF NOT ALL OF OUR WELLBEING, TO PROVIDE A MIRACLE FOR ANOTHER, THEN WE HAVE GIVEN THE GREATEST GIFT TO GOD THAT HE WOULD EVER ASK FOR.
I ASK YOU TODAY TO PRAY FOR YOUNG DANNY MCDONNELL, SON OF HOLLY PIPKIN MCDONNELL OF MOBILE, ALABAMA AND PLEDGE YOUR SOUL AND HEART TO GOD AND OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IN OUR QUEST FOR A MIRACLE HEALING OF DANNY.
Contact your friends through your church, via email, Facebook, phone, or whatever means of communication that you have and spread this word of a Miracle Prayer for Danny. The more voices we can encourage and enlist, the louder our prayers will be so that Our Father, Son and Holy Ghost will know that we, his children, are still true believers of our Lord and Savior, the one True Son of God, Jesus Christ.
Please help. Below is one of my prayers that I submit for Danny's Miracle.
Bill Conant
FATHER, I COME TO YOU TODAY A HUMBLE SERVANT OF OUR LORD. I BESEECH YOU TO TAKE OF ME WHAT YOU WILL IN ORDER TO PROVIDE DANNY McDONNELL WITH THE MIRACLE TO DEFEAT THIS CANCER SO THAT HE MAY LIVE OUT HIS LIFE A TRUE SERVANT OF OUR LORD AND A BELIEVER OF YOU, OUR FATHER. MY WELLBEING IS YOURS TO USE AS NEEDED FOR DANNY AND I WILL BESEECH THIS OF YOU FROM THIS DAY FORTH. FOR, AS YOU TAUGHT US, I BELIEVE THAT A PRAYER OF MIRACLES FOR OTHERS IS STRONGER THAN A PRAYER FOR MYSELF. IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, OUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND THE ONE TRUE SON OF GOD, I PRAY. AMEN!

A FELLOW PATRIOT WITH AMERICAN POLITICS FOR THE SENATE
I am supporting Chuck Donovan as the Senatorial candidate for 2010 in Georgia. This gentleman is an example of a patriot who has a firm understanding of the problems in our country (from the various issues in our country to the actual causes of our ongoing problems). Chuck would represent Georgia in a far more representative capacity of our great state than Johnny Isakkson has. Johnny has been a great disappointment to me because he allowed himself to be sucked into the lobbyist system in Washington and is influenced by such (ex., lobbyists associated with real estate, which would lead to home mortgaging and banking issues). Following is a response I received from Chuck in mid-December where I had previously sent him some leading questions regarding his candidacy and his persona. I believe that you will see the improvements we would receive by placing Chuck in the Senate this November and will appreciate his principles and values:
Mr. Conant
Pardon my slow response time. I am a third party candidate and all
that implies, including the lack of a large campaign staff, a "day"
job for putting bread on the table, and a family. I did however,
manage to visit your blog and enjoyed what I read there. I offer a
somewhat lengthy reply as both a thorough introduction of myself, and
a proffer for my allowing your email to go so long unanswered.
Just wanted to add my acknowledgment to a fellow veteran, especially
the fact that you are the son of a phellow Phantom phlyer. I also
liked the SR-71 vids. I watched them operate out of Kadena in 1986
during my deployment there.
When I read your email calling yourself, "an independent, with
conservative values", I thought it pretty well described myself and
many of those around me in the Libertarian Party. We also agree that
Johnny and Saxby are disappointments, but as a someone who supported
the Republican Party since before Reagan, I have to add that the
Republican Party itself has been a disappointment. As a young Marine
officer I was taught to "lead from the front". Every opportunity the
Republicans have had to take the lead, they have declined. I started
out in a Labor Democrat family in liberal Massachusetts. Still, I had
the independence of thought to reject all ideas of collectivism and
embrace the general ideals of individual freedom of choice, private
property, freedom of contract and business, minimal government, and
fiscally conservative action by government. This is what I thought
the Republicans have been promising since Goldwater. However, every
time the Republicans had the majority they delivered the exact
opposite. Our government is bloated, and our Bill of Rights is nearly
shredded. I believe our country is in crisis now, and the cause of
the crisis is poor leadership, and unmitigated ignorance and flaunting
of our dear Constitution by both the Democratic and Republican parties.
My answers to your specific questions:
> 1. What attributes to you bring to the table to convince citizens
> of Georgia like myself that you are the best Senate candidate for
> 2010?
Four primary attributes:
1. Unerring respect for:
Natural Rights as described by Locke and articulated by Jefferson
Individual freedom of choice
Private property
Freedom and enforcement of contracts (includes freedom of"non-contract")
2. With that I get the drive to:
- Reduce the size and scope of government to allow individual
choice and individual action to correct the problems we face.
- Fiscally redirect our out-of-control government
- Take away the central government's blank check - the Fed.
- Reduce pay rates for all of Congress, all Federal government
workers at the supervisory level and above, freeze pensions at their
current values and institute 401(k)'s with 2% matching funds. No
additional staff or benefits.
- Significantly reduce Federal government spending, size and scope
- Balance the budget below the amount of annual tax receipts and
apply the balance to reducing the national debt.
3. A full understanding of Austrian Economics
- Keynesian Economics, nothing more than a technical excuse for
those who adore government, is a failure
4. I am not a professional politician.
- I have no one I will need to pay back other than the people of Georgia.
- I am in touch with what it means to be a working American. I
think the Democratic and Republican "leadership" is well out of touch.
Lastly, I am not a Republican or Democrat. Those parties have failed
us all and the people of Georgia should fire the lot of them.
> 2. Is your campaign already organized with staff and county
> directors/leaders to generate support? If not, what is your latest
> status in regards to your campaign organization?
- I currently have a Treasurer. I have some help from friends and
fellow Libertarians, but I am looking for a good campaign manager.
Regional Libertarian Party affiliates have offered their support
around the state. I am in touch with State leadership of the party
and expect to receive the party's nomination at our spring convention.
- I am also in need of funding.
> 3. What are your specific issues, as opposed to the general
> description of your philosophical beliefs (of which I strongly
> support)?
Two main problems as I see it:
1. The Democrats and Republicans are fighting to run our lives.
Their policies only differ in degree. We have to fight to run our own
lives.
2. Too much of what working Americans and working American
businesses produce is taken by government.
We must stop Washington, D.C.'s confiscation of our money, material,
and power. Once we return that to the hands of the people who work
for it, I am confident the American people will work their own way out
of any problem.
ECONOMICS is primary. Get the money right and most of the rest will follow.
1. We absolutely MUST get government spending under control
Take away the central government's blank check - the Fed
Reduce salaries and benefits for government representatives
and department heads
Term limits
2. We MUST significantly reduce the national debt.
3. We MUST either transition the dollar to a commodity backed
currency, or end Legal Tender laws to allow the introduction to our
economy, competing currencies. In this way we will preserve the value
of personal savings accounts.
4. We need a simplified and better tax system. A new system should
be understandable by all, paid into by all, and take less from the
American people and American businesses. I favor a single rate tax
with no exceptions on types of income, and no write-offs or credits.
Any new tax system must not take more from Americans than the current
system.
5. We have an unusual opportunity right now to put our banks
on a 100% reserve requirement standard. Among other things this would:
- End the need for more bailouts
- Make consumers view their banks differently and compare on more
than just interest rate paid.
- Reduce or nearly eliminate bank failures
- End the need for the FDIC
- Ensure the value of the dollar
- End inflation of the dollar
DEFENSE
1. US troops are unconstitutionally deployed to too many places.
Bring them home and sell the bases. Earmark the income from the sales
to pay down the national debt.
2. Reduce troop deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan. Allow both
countries to find their own governments no matter what that might be.
(freedom of choice) Maintain a presence in the area to disrupt Al
Queda operations and to intercept funding for further radical Islamic
actions. (I will shortly be publishing an article with more details
on the subject of the Afghanistan war escalation and the "Global War
on Terror".)
3. Engage with China to show them that a unified Korean peninsula
would not be an opportunity for us to deploy US troops on the Korea
China border.
4. Bring the troops home from WWII. The Europeans can afford to
defend themselves.
EDUCATION is necessary for a good society, a good life, and for the US
to compete in the global economy. Our education system is failing,
and the government is at fault.
1. Shut down the Department of Education.
2. Government money spent on a child should go with the child to
whatever schooling the parents choose.
3. End tenure for government employed educators. They should
receive 5 year contracts with requirements to be achieved prior to
renewal.
4. End government involvement in higher education. Our colleges
will compete and re-achieve world status.
Stimulus, Strategic Investment, and Bailouts
End all government actions in these areas
No government has never succeeded in pushing forward an industry, new
or established, by giving it access to the national treasury.
> 4. Is this your first effort in entering politics; in other words,
> would you be considered as a "professional politician" or a citizen
> of We, the People who has decided that you have had enough and
> believe that you can be an asset for Georgia citizens as U.S. Senator?
This is my first effort as a politician, and I think that is a primary trait.
Hope that fills you in. I will be adding more to website as the
campaign progresses: www.DonovanForSenate.com
I would be happy to have your support.

CALL FOR UNITY TO VARIOUS PATRIOTIC GROUPS
"The time for rhetoric and fledgling organizations has now come to an end. 2010 is the year that we collaborate nationally, with all groups and organizations with similar convictions working together, and stand up as We, the People as we take our country back and begin the road to right the wrongs that have been and are being thrust upon us. This is my call to Liberty; what say you?!"
Consider that a direct quote from me. For the last eight months, various groups/organizations like ours (9.12) have been talking about how We, the People, are tired about our Constitutional rights being trampled on by our federal and states’ governments. We all have organized and pushed various agendas, such as promoting the return of a political party (Republican), supporting an Independent party and organizing rallies and petitions. All are noble causes but the efforts have been splintered with limited coordination. We, the People must collaborate together during this election year and beyond and find out how all organizations can work together to achieve the same common cause: The Restoration of Our Beloved Republic. It is time to put the petty differences aside and work/organize together. Efforts have already been underway with groups like Unite In Action (Nighta Davis), GOOOH (Tim Cox), and others meeting in Washington, D.C. earlier this month to work towards this goal. Even more influential groups, such as listed below, are needed to become involved in a collaborative effort.
Listed are the groups/organizations that I am a member of and am sending this same message to the group leaders. This can be done, if one is willing to work together with others. Imagine how the attendance at the 912 March on Washington, along with other marches/peaceful protests in D.C. could have been even larger than they already were (and we know how massive they actually were, despite the liberal press coverage).

The two-party system entrenched in our states’ and national politics have shown that they are wary of We, the People. But the arrogance in Washington, D.C. has proven that “politics as usual” is still their game and they are not going to change. “Politics as usual” has been an ongoing game in our federal and state governments for ages. Both major political parties have been and are still guilty of playing this game. Now the American citizens have recognized that this game has been the leading cause for the problems that we have faced in the past and the monstrous problems that we are facing in the future. It is time for the Patriots of this great country to take this political system back, refine and redefine how our governments should operate as designed by the Constitution, and work together to meet this challenge. I look forward to comments and hope that We, the People can come together to achieve our common goal.

RE-DISCOVERY
(This is a short story that I submitted to a competition; limited to 715 words. Hope you like this)
As I sat down this morning to surf thru the shortwave, I remembered of a time when ‘surfing’ had a similar meaning. Back then, we took our freedoms for granted as we eagerly surfed the Internet or the TV. My grandchildren (eight and ten in age when they died) would look at me with awe as I would tell them stories of listening to XM radio while driving from South Carolina to South Georgia every weekend. I could keep the boys spellbound about classic rock and roll songs from the 1960’s, changing stations to listen to news from various networks, then sliding a CD to help me stay awake on those long trips. We took our God-given rights for granted, but that was another story that I was saving for another time.
They always asked about the music. But I knew they wanted the stories about the musicians that I grew up listening to and the crazy things I did during my younger days. Then I would pick up my Fender six-string acoustic and strum out a few songs, reflecting on my mood at that moment. Not being much of a singer, I discovered that the boys were quick at learning the words to songs like Stairway to Heaven, Clapton’s Change the World, and Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb. Man, their mother would be so upset at me. She was afraid that the boys would be overheard singing, as she put it, “those radical songs that you’ve taught them”. I knew she was remembering those times in her youth with fondness; yet there was caution to be taken. But all that was before the SuperFlu epidemic just five months ago.
The flu hit the youngest like a hungry eagle chasing down a small rabbit. We lost both boys in just 48 hours. A couple of months later, my Sweetheart left early one morning while I was still asleep. Her note said that she knew I was the strongest and could continue on without her. She was going to see Mama and I knew what that meant. I ran thru the house, and sure enough, her mother’s .38 caliber S&W revolver along with one of my hidden AK 47s were gone. I knew the automatic was for any trouble on her way down to her Mama’s grave near Eridu, Fl. The .38 would serve a final purpose at the end of her trip. With tears running down my cheeks, I read the words:
I’ve always loved you, Daddy. You were the rock for everyone to lean on when Mama died, then later when both Louis and Rick died during the Nashville rebellion. Please don’t try to follow me, as I’ve got the only car left and you wouldn’t be able to find another working car within 50 miles. You know what I’m going to do and I hope that God forgives me. Remember the truths that you warned me about not so long ago and I wouldn’t listen to?! Know that I came to understand what you were saying when martial law was declared, but I was a little too late. You were my hero when you drove up from home to rescue me and the boys. Louis would have been proud of you and James would have been grateful. You have always been my hero; now our country needs heroes. I love you forever, your Sweetheart.
Now, as I surf thru the shortwave, I reflect on the loss of my loved ones in such a short time. My beautiful wife, with that gleam of wisdom and beauty in her eyes, as she fussed about her hair; stroke. My son as he grew up and went to fight for the republic that I taught him about; died for freedom. My daughter whose final words about heroes still ring in my ears. Near tears, I find what I’ve been waiting for: “Blackwell Liberty nine”; A call to arms in Blackwell, S.C. in five days at nine o’clock pm.
With the horse saddled, the weapons and gear packed, and my dog Scruffy following along, we made our way out of town. A new revolution was beginning and our forsaken republic needed heroes.

IS THIS THE LAST STRAW?
Just a quick "running off of the mouth" by your's truly due to frustration at the long list of criminal actions that have been perpretrated in Washington, D.C. I'll be back soon with a new post with constructive structure that will close by pointing the finger of "GUILTY" at the responsible individuals. Enjoy for now:
From buying off Mary Landrieu's support for HC reform (let's see how LA's voters react in her next election), strongarming Joe Liebermann's support for HC reform by sending his leftist goons out to attack Joe's wife (who is supporting research for a cure to breast cancer), bringing the 5 terrorists guilty of planning and organizing the 9/11 attacks to a criminal trial in New York City (as opposed to a military tribunal where this belongs), delaying for 3 months a decision on Gen. McChrystle's request for 40,000+ troops, BHO's lack luster initial response to the Fort Hood massacre (remember how important it was to BHO to give a "shout out" after 2 minutes of "blah-blah-blah" before finally commenting on the massacre), BHO's lack of support for the CIA's operations as intended by their structure in their fight against terrorists, BHO's non-support of the three Navy Seals up for court martial for one punch to a dangerous terrorist leader whom they had captured, BHO's lackluster "diplomacy" as regarding Iran's defiance (along with North Korea) [I can go on and on but you get the message that BHO and his Socialist Circle of Friends in the White House and on Capitol Hill have no intention in working for the sake of our republic's economic future or our national security], now we have confirmed reports from three sources from Capitol Hill that Sen. Ben Nelson has been blackmailed to gain his support for the latest Senate version of "health care reform" or have Offutt Air Force Base placed on the next BRAC list; the very AFB that is the Strategic Command HQ for the Air Force's Strategic Air Command. If this action is confirmed, this is an act of treason in my book and must be handled by military justice accordingly. In other words, BHO, if your administration is guilty of this, well, "Remember Richard Nixon?"

THE GAMES IN WASHINGTON, D.C. MUST END
It is not that I believe, but that I know in my heart that our government has been perverted by the most vile of corruption: greed. We watch the games that are played on Capitol Hill, including negotiating/writing a bill of unconstitutional boundaries behind the symbolic "closed doors" where one party is the only one represented while the minority party stands outside and cries to We, the People of the injustice of it all. Yet, when you truly investigate the "leadership" of the minority party, you discover that they have played the same game before. You also discover that many within the minority party have voted on legislation based on what they can "barter" for, as opposed to the principles and values they should uphold. You also discover, upon a broader review, that the vast majority of members in both houses of Congress have voted based on influences by lobbyists and "outside" concerns, as opposed to voting based on what We, the People are calling for. You notice, as well, that while the minority party votes against major pieces of legislation that We, the People have voiced our concerns about, they have also voted in favor of other bills that have increased our federal spending levels, increased our national debt and continue to devalue our national currency. The gravest thought to all of this is that the members of the minority party have been doing this with full knowledge of the repercussions of their actions on our country. We see an occasional "light" when legislation is introduced that bears teeth in reigning in our federal government (ex: Ron Paul's HR 1207, Federal Reserve Transparency Act) yet the legislation, after being initially assigned to a committee, gathers dust because the leadership within the committee and the specific house of Congress are not in favor of considering such legislation. And this is regardless as to whether the proposed legislation carries over 1/2 of the membership within the particular house of Congress as cosponsors.
Where is the true concern/outrage and appropriate action from our elected representatives (from both houses) as regarding the actions taken by BHO and his "administration"? We hear of speeches on both floors and interviews on radio and TV regarding constitutional questions about the executive branch but we only see very limited action on the floor of both houses. It is truly just a political game engineered to allow certain members on Capitol Hill to "remind the sheeples of their grave concerns" so that they can appear as supportive of the outrage from We, the People. In the meantime, we see executive policies being made by BHO's Circle of Friends (ex: the "pay czar's" declared decision as to how to limit the pay of certain executives). These "czars/advisors" are making policies, with other outside influences as their supporting guidance, and then passing these policies onto their puppet/mouthpiece whom We, the People know as POTUS. BHO is the sophisticated, eloquent spokesperson for the advanced movements by the Socialists to degrade our nation and eventually turn our country into a pauper state. All of this so that our country can be at the whim of intenational interests (research the Bildenberg Group and George Soros, for starters). Yet, while We, the People declare our outrage towards the policies and the unconstitutional group of "policy-makers", our representation on Capitol Hill play their game of sending out their "talking heads" in an effort to convince us that they hear and support our grievances, while doing nothing of substantial quality to stop the madness within our executive branch. And all the while, our Senate Judiciary Committee continues to approve of nominees for federal judge positions (as offered by BHO) who have no intention of judging based on constitutional law but instead will continue to judge based on outside interests and "personal feelings".
Our Republic has become a shambles from what it was intended to be. The Socialist movement has taken a stranglehold on our country within the past 50 years and are aggressively pushing their agenda which they have slowly been preaching into our society and our government for appx. 100 years. The past four generations of American citizens have allowed this to happen due to our complacency to exercise our God-given right to vote and by voting (when we did) based on which "mouthpiece" was saying the right thing, as opposed to looking at where they had stood on important issues of the times prior to running for the particular seat of government.
So where does this leave us? We can find honest, principled, moral citizens (they are out there) and encourage them to be our representation in Wasington (and in our state capitols and local governments). This as the goal to restore our Republic and put government back within the constitutional boundaries that they should have always been abiding by. Otherwise, we have another choice, which I would regret seeing our country turn to. The choice is up to We, the People as individual citizens of our country. The choice is up to You, the concerned citizen to make. I've made mine and have been exercising it for what seems like an eternity. When are You going to make yours and declare it loudly for all to hear?
