I hope you will be able to attend at least one of the 4^th of July events of celebration in your area.    If you have time, please read the Declaration of Independence to your children.  They need to hear it.

I hope your plans are made to attend the Conservative Party USA Convention to be held in New Orleans, Louisiana, July 22-24, 2010.  This will be a unique opportunity for members of the Conservative Party USA to get together to discuss Party activities, goals and ideals and to celebrate the successes to date.

The home of the convention will be the Loew’s New Orleans Hotel.  The hotel is located at 300 Poydras Street, New Orleans, LA 70130.  Check-in policies and hotel information can be found here.  The main hotel phone number is 504-636-3300 .

Room Cost is $126/night for single or double occupancy.  This special rate includes taxes and state fees.  Please make your reservation directly with the Hotel Reservations department by calling 866-563-9792.  Be sure to mention “Conservative Party USA” when you call to assure this special rate. Naturally, a standard credit card required and rooms are subject to availability.

For convention activities, the Registration Fee is $175 per convention attendee.  Be an early bird and register for only $150 per attendee if paid by June 15, 2010.  This fee will entitle you to all the convention activities including the reception on Thursday night, July 22, the banquet on Saturday night (evening wear required), July 24, and the business meetings held during each day (casual dress) of the convention.  Please make checks payable to the “Conservative Party USA” and mail to:

On the assumption that most people will be flying, the most economical transportation from the airport to the hotel is the New Orleans Airport Shuttle.  The rate is $38 round trip or $20 one way per passenger.  This will provide ample savings over the normal $30 one way per person taxi fare.  Please contact the shuttle service to reserve by calling 504-522-3500 or visit their website linked above.

Part of the business of the convention will be the debating of Party Planks.  As a member in good standing of the Conservative Party USA, you are eligible and invited to submit suggestions for consideration to be included in the Party Planks.  The National Site of the Conservative Party USA offers the abstract form for you to make your suggestion.  You will also find on this site the method that will be used for approval of planks submitted by the membership.

I look forward to seeing you there.

I have been closely following the Primary Elections in the various states to this point.  There have been twelve so far in addition to three Special Elections with Hawai’i having a Special Election on May 22.

By my count, 74 Governors, Senators and Congressmen will not be part of the November General Elections, the “mid-terms.”  Some of the Governors are stopped by term limits, some Senators and Congressmen are retiring (wonder why?), one has been denied the nomination of his Party for reelection, Bob Bennett of Utah, two have been kicked out in the Primary, Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania and Alan Mollohan of West Virginia,.  Two have resigned due to scandal, Mark Souder from Indiana and Eric Massa from New York.  Several others are running for another national or state office. (more…)

I got the strangest thing in my mail today.  It’s a questionnaire from the Republican National Party.  They want me to fill it out giving them my feelings about issues facing Americans. (more…)

Among those who have supported Scott Brown the question has now arisen – how can he be seated immediately? There is even a site with petition for this to be done immediately.

My advice to the soon to be Senator is to -
1. Let the rumor grow that you are a little known member of the Kennedy family. As we all know, any and all laws of the land and Commonwealth can be overlooked for such a circumstance.

2. Take absolutely no advice from the Republican National Committee. Trust me, they will move in – probably already have – to take the lion’s share of the credit for your victory.

3. Did the margin of victory exceed that of absentee ballots? If so, what, if any, excuse can the Commonwealth’s Secretary of State give for not doing the decent and right thing?

Tonight the people’s seat in the US Senate has been filled by the people.

I offer my congratulations to the people of Massachusetts tonight.  You, the people, have elected Scott Brown to represent you in the US Senate.  You have spoken to the current administration and the other liberals and progressives in Washington, DC.  You used your weapon – your vote – the only weapon needed to speak not only for yourselves but for the vast majority of Americans.  I, for one, thank you.

During his speech tonight acknowledging the great victory for the people of Massachusetts, Senator-elect Brown made it very clear to everyone listening that there will be “no more backroom deals.”  He said, “Our Constitution and our laws are intended to protect THIS nation.”

He stressed the thing that for many is most important when he said, “Giving rights to terrorists is not right for our country.”

He also said, “They thought you were all onboard with their issues, but tonight, you, and you, and you, and you (pointing to various parts of the crowd) showed them differently.  We showed them that we can do better!  I will go to Washington and answering only to my conscious and to you, the people, I will do my very best for all the people of our Commonwealth.  I know who I am.  I am Scott Brown, and I drive a truck.  I am nobody’s Senator except yours.”

I am certain you are quite proud of yourselves, and well you should be.  You did a great job, Massachusetts!  Today, you have made history not just for your own Commonwealth, but for our nation.

Take a deep breath, and relax.  Your Senate seat is in good hands now.

Tomorrow is the culmination of many months of campaigning and both candidates are looking forward to seeing how you, the people of Massachusetts, feel about them and your state so filled with American history.  I personally would love to see the Democrats get what they have coming to them!

I support Scott Brown in this race because he stands for many of the same ideals I do.  Most importantly, he stands for many of the same ideals that Massachusetts does.

I always think my next vote may be the most important vote I may ever cast, and it is the same for you.  Tomorrow you can send a message loudly and clearly that will resonate from Boston Harbor to the Tidal Basin.  The American People are as mad as the original patriots in Boston, and we’re not going to take it anymore!

I have never hidden the fact that I do not live in Massachusetts and cannot vote in your elections.  I do have a strong belief in our Republic our people.  We are a UNITED states.  The good of one is the good for us all.  When you vote tomorrow – and you MUST vote tomorrow – you are speaking not only for yourself and Massachusetts but also for me in Texas and all the others like me in all the other states of these United States.

Socialism will never curse America.  Not as long as good American patriots such as the ones who live in Massachusetts stand for the truth of the American Constitution.

Obviously, the Conservative Voice is being heard more loudly than we thought.  Democrats in the House and Senate are “retiring” two at a time.  Not just the “keep a low profile” Dems either – these are the big guns.

The latest to join the ranks of the unemployed of their own volition are Senator Byron Dorgan of North Dakota and (thank God for answered prayers) Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut.  Bless their hearts they’re tired and ready to rest after their long illustrious (?) careers during which time they have sent America and Americans down the tubes.

It was Senator Dorgan, you may remember, who proposed an amendment to the Harry Reid Socialistic Health Care for a Socialistic America Bill to allow consumers to buy FDA-approved drugs from other countries.  In a twist of Harry Reid’s nose, the pharmaceutical industry in America opposed this amendment thus it was defeated in the Senate by a 51-48 vote.

Senator Dodd, of course, was responsible for the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac debacle among others. He was also implicated as having received major kickbacks from Countrywide Financial Corp. which was under investigation by the Connecticut Attorney General’s office.

These two retirements are really good news for our Conservative voices.  They will have little lasting meaning unless we join together in North Dakota and Connecticut as well as our other 48 states to defeat the liberal incumbents who are seeking reelection in 2010 and have not as yet received our message.  Please be reminded that liberals are not only Democrats.  They are Republican, Liberty, and Independent party members also.

Find them, Conservatives of America!  Find them under whichever rock they are choosing to hide and let them know that we are deadly serious.  We WILL remove them from office in 2010 and replace them with truly conservative Representatives and Senators!

We must start this process in Massachusetts on January 19 by electing Scott Brown the fill the Teddy Kennedy seat.  Then one by one, we must unseat the others.  Be determined, Conservatives.

Our time is NOW.  Our voices are loud and we are in unison with our message.  “Liberal, you’ve taken us for granted for the last time!  We want your jobs!  And we WILL get them!”

Marie A Cole

2009 can now officially become a memory, thank God!  Let’s move forward into 2010 with due diligence and respect for our Conservative viewpoints.  We must and will be heard in every 2010 election all across the United States.

Our voice starts with each of us in our local, state and national elections.  Since there are very few candidates represented by the Conservative Party – USA, we must stand up and speak up for the most conservative candidates we can find.  If that isn’t satisfactory, then we must search for a true conservative to run under our banner.  If big money, offers of fame and notoriety, promises of continued support, etc. work for labor groups, heavily funded corporations and other lobby interests, we must turn them around to fit our conservative voices.

Conservatives are the largest voting bloc in the United States.  Thomas Paine said so succinctly, “If we do not hang together, we shall surely hang separately.”  This was echoed by Benjamin Franklin, “Ay, we must all hang together, else we shall all hang separately.”

We find ourselves in much the same position.  As long as we are united in our common conservative values system, no one will hang!

Have a wonderful New Year’s Day.  Enjoy the football, basketball, hockey, front-yard football and black-eyed peas today.  Rest up.  We have a long fight before us.  It is a fight we must win.

We are bringing it right down to the wire in Massachusetts for your special election to be held January 19, 2010.  Scott Brown is moving up almost daily in the polls, and for the first time in quite some time, Massachusetts has a viable candidate more conservative than his ultra liberal opponent.

Once again, let me be certain that you know that I do not live in Massachusetts.  I am not eligible to vote in your elections.  My job is to be sure you have as much solid and verifiable information about the candidates in your state as I possibly can.

I share your Conservative values and ideals, and I want to see our nation returned to the glory years when America stood for freedom and independence with God at the center of our national identity.

I freely admit that you know much more than I do about the way the political machine moves (or doesn’t move) in Massachusetts, but I do know this.  As an outsider, I have watched your state being driven into complacency by the liberal establishment of the Democratic Party since the years of John F. Kennedy.  I know that the time is NOW for you to change that direction.

You have the power to show the rest of America and the liberals in Massachusetts that you are tired of business as usual in your state.  Your vote in January may never have meant more than it will in this special election.
