It’s easy to become discouraged when we look at the condition of the Country and the economy.  However, we have some bright spots that warrant your focus.

Now that the campaign is over, my schedule is freed up to do more of the activities that can make a big difference.  One I enjoy most is public speaking.  Please let me know if you have an event where you would like me to speak:

Some of you are trying to process what just happened last week.  The voters demonstrated what is important to them.  Most of the candidates who were higher on the moral, conservative and Constitutional scale lost to bigger government candidates.  There were a few exceptions, but in every election there are always electoral disappointments that sadden me even beyond my own.

There is no question our Country is shifting to the Left end of the political spectrum.  The question remains how we should deal with this new reality.  My deepest gratitude goes to my family and my faithful volunteers.  They walked with me in five parades, painted floats, put up signs all night long, cooked us meals, collected money at our fundraisers, designed our website, posted new content on our website, made video recordings, sent out newsletters and —most importantly—prayed for me.  That was huge.

This is a picture of us at one of our five parades we were in this year.  The dozens of volunteers who came out to help with all of our parades were the best in the Country!

We’ve had a lot of fun trying to make a difference.  Here is a last message I have for anyone who may still be undecided:
# 1
# 2 

So…are you able to vote for me tomorrow?  Let me know by leaving a comment below.

This photo was taken at our Family Farm Barbecue we had last Saturday.  From Left to Right:  Gregory Thompson, Coach Dave Daubenmire, Chris Clegg and myself.  The Coach gave us a pep-talk.  Even if you couldn’t attend, I want you to enjoy his message.  You can hear it here:

One of my friends asked me if he always yells like that, but when you consider that he’s a football coach, it makes perfect sense.  Just pretend  you’re on the football team and this is half-time.

Want some encouragement?  For those of you who may be suffering from an overdose of watching political party conventions with all the theatrics, conflicted values and divided loyalties, I have good news.  The Missouri Republican Assembly is a grassroots movement willing to flush out the RINOs and endorse true conservatives, who believe in small government, lower taxes, free market capitalism, a strong defense, the right to life, and a decent America.

They just endorsed me!
