To all who visit this page, we ask that you read this important letter then go to "comments" at the bottom, and leave your name and location. Our goal is to let LTC West know that his support is indeed national. Thank you for taking the time to read and sign this letter.
Dear Congressman West,
As I currently live in the great state of Arizona, it is not my practice to write to elected officials who do not represent me directly. I am not breaking protocol as you sir indeed DO represent me and I am not alone.
Throughout this nation’s history, there have been many times when simple common sense dictated our most important elections. In those cases, the importance of t he outcome of the election was not of the utmost urgency. Those elected to our nation’s highest office were needed to simply steer the ship of state through calm waters on clear days.
There have been, however, at certain points in our history when those elections took on dire meaning as the consequences of the results would forever change the course, not of history but of our future. Those were the times when the man elected to our highest office WAS indeed of the utmost importance. Washington, Lincoln, Truman and Reagan found themselves in that position.
For our country and our republic, the world is a more dangerous place today than at any time in our history. Our enemies abroad are not wearing a uniform, they are cloaked in an ideology and they are not just our enemies, they are the enemies of our allies and human rights. You sir, know this better I believe, than anyone in elected office today. You know their history, their tactics, their ideology and their ultimate plan for the world’s future.
Our nation’s enemies abroad are not the only enemies we face. The very fabric of our republic and the foundation upon which our nation was built are under attack from within. While I believe many in office today understand this, you sir are the only one not so timid as to speak out against those who would fundamentally change our values, our republic our freedoms and the Constitution itself.
The election in 2012 WILL determine the future of our nation and our place in the world. It WILL determine the freedoms of our allies and of people in countries who have been oppressed for generations. The election in 2012 IS the most important in our history.
While there are many who have expressed a desire to run for the office of president, and many who are qualified, the consequences of the outcome demand that we NOT look for the best we can find rather, the very best which exists.
Congressman West, LTC West, you have led men. You must lead a nation.
Sir, I am asking you to allow me and many, nationwide, to officially become your constituents. I am asking you to declare your candidacy for, accept the nomination of your party for, and become the President of The United States.
The time is now, for a leader who respects the Constitution and who knows that our government is Of The People, By The People and For The People. The time is now, for a leader who will stand with and FOR our allies and who will protect and foster those who fight for freedom abroad. The time is now, for a leader who can right the listing ship of state and set a course that will ensure the republic has a long and productive future.
The time is now for a leader who salutes our flag and the men and women who defend it, not just with his hand but with his heart.
Our history has shown and our future demands that the right man, the very best which exists, be in the White House when most needed.
LTC West, YOU are that man.
With the greatest admiration for the service to our country which you continue to provide,
Craig Andresen
