Conservatives urge Mike Pence to fill GOP 'void'

To understand the dissatisfaction on the right with the current crop of Republican presidential hopefuls, look no further than Mike Pence.

An Indiana congressman with just five terms in public office, Pence is currently the subject of a draft movement — but he may well pick a gubernatorial run over a White House bid.

Nevertheless, a group of longtime Republicans — including former House Majority Leader Dick Armey and former Rep. Jim Ryun — are working with a well-connected conservative public relations firm to urge the congressman to head to Des Moines and Manchester instead of Indianapolis and Muncie.

Their efforts have intensified in recent days as Pence’s own self-imposed end-of-January deadline for a decision grows near.

“...An Indiana congressman with just five terms in public office, Pence is...”

Sheese! Obama had 1/3 of a term experience!

No bias at Politio. Zero.

Did you hear Mike Pence is deciding to run for President? — He is set to make his decision at the end of THIS month! — I urge you to come to www.TheConservativeChampion.org to find out more or sign the declaration cheering him on to get into the most important Presidential Race of our Lifetime against Pres. Obama.

Major Conservative and Tea Party leaders like Dick Armey, Brent Bozell, Erick Erickson, Morton Blackwell, and others have all ENDORSED him.

Congressman Mike Pence is the Strongest Reagan-Kemp pro-Jobs free market guy we have got in America. There is *really* nobody else like him.

He was the first to stand up to Karl Rove to fight against the bailouts, he stands strong on national defense and fights Planned Parenthood tooth-and-nail! Principled, Christian and he has got a fine and crisp speaking-style!

America is facing a serious crisis and we need a smart, insightful, and a *true* Constitutionalist like Pence in the White House to make sure our beloved country stays strong and does not become some sort of second-world mess.

Again, I urge you to come to www.TheConservativeChampion.org to find out more about The Pence or sign our declaration cheering him on into the 2012 Race for the White House!

*WE need to make sure he gets IN this very crucial race.*

Here’s the Push Pence for President Declaration facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Conservative-Champion/183472778341064

“To those who say that marriage is not relevant to our budget crisis, I say, ‘you would not be able to print enough money in a thousand years to pay for the government you would need if the traditional family continues to collapse.’” — Rep. Mike Pence

I saw Mike Pence give a speech to the Federalist Society on C-SPAN about a month ago and it was astounding. If he decided to run, I’d be right there with him.
