Newt Gingrich is not some lackey who woke up and decided he wanted to be President. He’s been doing serious work his entire life. This experience Newt has could turn our country around for the better if he became President. Newt is the most experienced “surgeon” who has the know-how to fix our sick country. It’s up to his supporters now to try to educate America why we feel this way. I believe if voters are given the correct info about Newt they will not walk, but literally run to him given the other 3 choices in this campaign!
You are great with words, Marguerite, and thoughtful approaches, and right now, for the grassroots involved in Newt’s campaign, and the field staff, the campaign has taken quite a few hits the last couple of weeks. Newt is standing his ground, but little by little, people are getting discouraged and starting to fall short in their involvement and commitments. It is just a momentary stall, and we can pull out of it...
There were 150,000 calls from the phone banks made into SC which propelled Newt to victory... with a 22% rise in participation. We need to duplicate that, and if you could try to motivate and encourage people in your own unique way, in your universe, and if everyone could do that, we could take Newt’s campaign up a notch.
What we can do is make phone calls and give money, and get involved in the states on the schedule for February. There was an rsvp teleconference tonight with Newt, and though he sounded tired, he said he is going to try and do something on his own, nationally, with the debate time that has been cancelled.. Only all that takes money... money money.
Here is the link for CNN for anyone who would like to send them an email, urging them to hold the debate anyway... if you would, please try and post it wherever you feel appropriate... the second link is for making national calls... and the third, Money...

That’s a great post, TBF.
Don’t be discouraged.
There’s a long way to Tampa Convention, and the so-called “front runner” has still NINE times less pledged delegates than Newt.
