I know, personally, Richard never intended to put his life on hold and become a part of an arrogant and corrupted political system that has consistently put personal and party agendas ahead of what's right for America. I remember Richard handing me a picture of his young, vibrant family and telling me he couldn’t be the father he wants to be until he somehow found a way to fight for a better American future for them.
I have traveled all over this country over 412 times in the last thirteen months speaking to hundreds of thousands of my fellow countrymen, white, black, brown and all the colors between. They were not rallying as right wing, left wing or no wingers. They were all joined at the hip as just plain Americans fed up with their own apathy at having given up their roles as citizens to become consumers.
All that has changed now. The giant has awakened and young dedicated men, like Richard, are risking all they have to fight a big government attempting to lead this nation to a dark place our founding fathers constructed a constitution to prevent us from going.
Richard is one of many all over our nation, who is running for office to rise above politics, rise above policies, rise above the dictates of the party leaders and announce his principles and his resolve to commit to them no matter the consequences.
This is your generation's finest hour to clean out a system that no longer serves the real owners of our republic, WE THE PEOPLE. November 2, 2010 is the best, and perhaps the last opportunity we have to rescue Lady Liberty and return this special nation to the core values that gave the world the greatest burst of freedom ever known.
Listen to Richard, Indiana. Hold him accountable to his principles. Make him commit to every one of them every time he speaks to you.
Look into his soul and if you see what this nation desperately needs at this turning point in our history; a statesmen willing to risk his political capital to do the right thing...and make him your next Senator from a state famous for calling a thing what it is and understanding that character is everything.
It's a great time to be an American."
