You, and others, state: “Allen West is not running, he has stated it so many times.”

He has stated that he is intent on doing the job he was elected to do - at this time. Listen very carefully to his words. He is NOT ruling out running. LISTEN.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hChMR3sYPCI&feature=related

Here he responds to an enthusiastic crowd: “If it be His will, it’ll be taken care of, alright”

REREAD that and remember it... The door is open.

If he runs, it will be because the call from We The People deciding that WE will pick our candidate this time, not suck our thumbs and let the Establishment give us a list to choose from.

Sarah is savvy. It’s way to early to be campaigning. West knows this too. (Reagan didn’t declare until Nov. That’s plenty of time. By Nov., the gang already running will have worn thin - people will already be tired of them.

Just remember. WEST has left the door open.

He is my Congressman. I will be at his townhall tomorrow. I know what he said and he did not leave any doors open. I don't need to watch YT videos to know his stance.

I know his stance by also talking to him and his staff. He is not running, not this time. He needs to be a congressman first. His words, not mine. People not listening to what he actually is saying is a lack of respect, as far as I am concerned. And the ones (and I don't mean you) who said that he has a duty, they need to simply shut up. This man has served his country and then some, for his entire life.

We need to support his re-election effort right now by donating to his campaign. If anything changes, he can use this money regardless.

IMO, if it were not for Col. West, Jim DeMint and Michelle Bachmann there would be no hope for our freedom or our country with the un-American RATs and RINOs in office.

Friend, I am 70 years old and I am NOT giving up. We CAN win control of the Senate and the White House in 2012. We CAN and we MUST!

Anyone who knows me knows I keep talking about being involved in our states at the state level and national level in EVERY Primary Election. The Primary is where we must vet candidates carefully and then back the very best Conservative. We have made progress here in Florida but our work is not done and will continue long into the future. I will remain involved until the Lord takes me.

500-600 more like him in DC and this might be a good nation to live in again.

Please don’t be jealous, but I know how you feel if your Representative does not represent you. Allen West is the type of leader who feels he represents ALL Americans and I believe he does.

I do not live in his district, as Rep.Bill Young is my rep. My hubby and I did it in 2010 and will travel to south Florida again to do everything we can to make sure we send Congressman West back to Congress in 2012.

No comments thus far on health care whatsoever. Interesting.

>> He is doing things so out of the norm that something is terribly wrong.

Hillary or Kerry would have done the same.

The death stars were aligned for the Left these last few years.

Couldn't agree more!

Here is a recent speech Congressman West made this past weekend:

I have to say I am glad I live in a relatively conservative district and I am fairly happy with my Republican representative... but when it comes to Congressman West, I mean, this is a guy who calls himself a "right wing extremist." He doesn't run from that label, he embraces it. That is literally light years ahead of any GOP contender these days.

Congressman West not only sends out his Weekly Updates, he also continues to have two Town Hall meetings every month to provide folks a chance to voice their concerns and ask questions.

This from last night's Town Hall meeting:

You mentioned Congressman West has a town hall today. I was reading on some other sites that there is concern that the National Defense Act that just came out of committee gives the President unlimited power to wage war indefinitely anywhere in the world, even on American soil. I went directly to the House website and read the bill for myself, and I couldn’t find anything in the bill that sounded like that. Since this is the kind of thing that can go viral and ruin a man’s political standing for supporting something, can you ask him to address this concern, so that he will have an opportunity to answer this question before some smear group starts yelling “War monger Allen West supports military rule in US.” I can hear it now.

Oops! I see the town hall was last night. Funny reaction to the lady with the pink tape! Well, maybe somehow that info I shared above will get to him. I really want him to succeed!

Problem is, my representative is new! We worked hard to get him elected in a tough race. Anyway...if you have a moment would you read #37? Just something I ran across. Trying to get a heads-up to Congressman West.

Glad that you've moved these off the Florida thread..everyone should read them.

I wish he'd consider also doing a weekly video update on his website...he's a powerful speaker, a great communicator, and they'd become instant hits on YouTube..
