It's always about money...well it's time to come up with solutions...Read this patriot's response to Mike Huckabee's appeal for MONEY...

I received an invitation to give money to Huck PAC, and I sent this response instead.

I doubt that anything will come of this, but I thought I would share it anyway.

Dear Huck:

My perception is that your are a man of honor, and I respect your public service and your ardent attempts to improve our nation. However, I think your email below ignores the undeniable truths of the shift in the political landscape that have occurred and will soon impact the mid-term elections. As a result of these truths, enumerated below, I believe that it is no longer a viable approach to throw stones at the Democrats and to invest resources in returning common Republicans to office. There is a growing group of independents that call themselves Constitutionalists, or similar, and they have no patience for the common perversions and prevarications of party ping-pong, where Dems and Reps together maintain power and control with no accountability on either side to the people. To attract these voters and their capital in the future, there must be many changes in the principles and strategies of the Republicans, else these voters will grow their numbers and their capital resources to undermine both parties and elect true Constitutionalists to positions of power in our government at every level.

Below I have attempted to share the truths that in my opinion will dictate our elections (assuming fair elections) in the future:

1. It is no longer acceptable to campaign on a platform of "change" or "reform", as we need a campaign of "replacement". The so-called representatives of the people have expanded their power and pursued policies in direct contradiction to the will of the people and to the Constitution. 95% of those in office need to go, especially Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Frank, and Dodd, just for starters. Nelson and Landrieu are next line. In my opinion, there are very few in either party that are worth keeping.

2. It is no longer acceptable to campaign on one set of principles, which are then readily abandoned once our representatives reach DC. The party executives must commit to employ their own resources to recall or repeal one of their own candidates with haste when that representative has forfeited the principles upon which he/she was elected. This party policing is not about adherence to a platform, but rather it is about integrity between the party and the people. If the party cannot police itself and assure accountability, then we will replace it with a new one that can.

3. It is no longer acceptable to cast stones at the other party without offering real solutions. LOOK at your email below! Simply pointing out the mistakes of the incumbents creates no bond between the party (or its candidates) and the people. This is like starting a marriage proposal by pointing out how bad the last boyfriend was. This type of rhetoric may have won elections in the past, but the people are awakening to the reality that this rhetoric only serves party ping-pong process. We want every real problem to be presented with appropriate Constitutional solutions.

4. It is no longer acceptable to maintain massive power in DC that is not vested in the people. We want 95% of the federal government dismantled, with only essential components remaining. The federal government was created to serve the people and the states, not to dictate to them. We want elimination of all unfunded mandates, election of U.S. Senators through state legislatures, severe restrictions in the career and money exchanges between our elected representatives and the lobbyist community, and an audit of the Federal Reserve.

5. It is no longer acceptable to stretch the Constitution beyond its stated boundaries with progressive and "modern" interpretations that are simply not found within the document. We want a return to Constitutional principles in every facet of our nation's business. To that end, we want (i) CBO-like audits of the Constitutionality of every law before it is voted upon, (ii) repeal of all un-Constitutional laws including federal tax withholding laws, (iii) formal remands (and if necessary withdrawal of funds) for government agencies executing un-Constitutional authority, and (iv) elimination and redistribution of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals among the neighboring circuits.

6. It is no longer acceptable to grow the population of the United States and of the Democratic party via unfettered access to our porous national borders. We want (i) voting rights for only the legal citizens of our land, (ii) removal of all illegal immigrants from our nation, (iii) assimilation requirements of immigrants to become citizens, (iv) citizenship requirements that do not reward illegal entry into our nation, and (v) strengthening of our border to prevent further abuse of our nation's resources.

These six truths among others will be pursued by a wide array of people who believe that (i) the two-party system has abused the electorate, and (ii) our country has lost its core values. The Republican party will become irrelevant over the next 3 years unless the party cleans house, begins to police its own ranks, and pursues policies focused on freedom, states' rights, and Constitutional principles.

We look forward to your input on these observations, and we remain hopeful that you and other public leaders will take part in this Constitutional campaign of replacement.

Regards,
Trey Tasker
