GO NEWT! WOOT! WOOT!
Sitting here in Florida and watching the approach of the Alabama primary on Tuesday, I brushed aside my usual reticence about sending political emails and wrote and sent the following to friends and family in Alabama.
(For privacy purposes, I blind cc’d the list and just put my email address on the To line, so no one would see exactly who I was sending to).
Anyone with friends in upcoming states — feel free to use any or all of this to send to your friends.
This is a brief message from the heart in my own words about the important primary election in Alabama on Tuesday.
PLEASE NOTE: I usually don’t send emails related to politics, but this time around, I feel compelled to contact you by email and ask you to consider voting for NEWT GINGRICH in this Tuesday’s Alabama Republican primary.
Although there are several good folks in the race, and although Rick Santorum in particular seems to be well-aligned with many of my beliefs and principles, I believe that Newt is better prepared to be the leader we need to shake things up in Washington.
Newt is an idea man, a deep thinker, a historian, a military strategist (he’s been teaching leaders in our military for many years), a Southerner at heart, and a man who knows how to get things done in Washington.
For those who are still weighing the candidates (and those who may have already made up your minds), please take a few minutes to watch this message from Newt about energy independence. It runs close to 30 minutes, but even watching it for just a few minutes, I think you’ll see what I’m talking about related to bold leadership that we desperately need.

And please feel free to send this to any of your friends and family who haven’t voted in a primary yet and encourage them to get out and vote for Newt.
My apologies for invading your email inbox with a political message – but as I said, I believe this year’s presidential election is just too important for me to keep silent.
(Over 2/3 of the delegates in the Republican race are still to be selected – so in spite of what you may have heard from the major liberal media and Republican establishment voices who want the status quo to continue, a vote for Newt is valuable at this point and can help shape the future of the country we all love.
Thanks for listening to my ramblings… since I live in Florida and have already voted, I’m asking you who have not yet voted to take a bold step, along with Sarah Palin (who voted for Newt in Alaska), Fred Thompson, J. C. Watts, Herman Cain, Gov. Rick Perry, Michael Reagan, Gov. Fob James (who just endorsed Newt), and many many more who believe Newt is the best national leader for the next four years.
Hopefully (still) your friend,
