Allen West Apology

A Second Allen West apology is overdue. I now realize the first was merely a courtesy extended, but not heartfelt. Now it's time to come clean.

First a little history of our relationship. Back before the 2008 Elections, I and other local Democrats were not satisfied with our Congressman Ron Klein's "Pelosi lap dog" positions on issues. He voted with the Party team and not always his constituents or in the Country's best interest.

While looking for alternative candidates, a friend suggested going to a meeting and listening to a new, unheard of Republican candidate named Allen West. I Stated there was no way I would consider voting for a Republican.

He asked me to forget about POLITICAL PARTY thinking and listen to the individual (this was a turning point in my politics and the basis for this web site's theme of NO PARTY. Realizing what many Party line American voters missed for decades, we must look closely at the individuals being considered for political office to be sure their politics match ours).

I and a few other Democrats went to the town hall style open forum meeting. Mr West spoke first and then fielded some pointed Democratic liberal based questions. After listening to Allen West that evening we were amazed he was saying all the things we were thinking about the problems and direction of our neighborhoods and Country. He was focused on the important issues and able to transcend voter demographics.

We helped in his 2008 Campaign by doing some sign placement and word of mouth. It was all in vain, West was out funded by the Democratic political machine. The Party funds flew in when the extreme left realized there was a voice in the political wilderness that the people were listening to for real hope.

Fast forward to the 2010 Campaign. We were determined to work harder to prevent another political catastrophe as the 2008 elections proved to be in hindsight.

This time we contributed funds, helped with signs and worked the phones. Word of mouth via the Internet was the big difference. West's words on "YOUTUBE" resonated with like minded Americans, not only in our district, but across the Nation. He was saying what everyone believed was urgently needed, turn our Country around or we may never be able to pull it from the brink.

My first Allen West apology came at the West campaign headquarters the night He won the election. I went over to congratulate him and asked him to sign my old Democrat Voter Registration card, a symbolic rejection of the Party system.

While he was signing I asked him about his prospects of a Presidential run. He stopped what he was doing, looked (semi glared) at me and said "These people just elected me to represent them as their Congressman and that is my only intention".

First Allen West Apology

A sheepish response of, "sorry, I understand", was all I could muster and walked away.


So, here we are, the two political machines with Mass Media at their side continue their intentional and/or unintentional destruction of the fabric of America.

They are only effective at assuring their political Party and Careers stay in tact, feigning concern with the issues, while being ineffective at agreeing on remedies. Bottom line, nothing has changed. Issues that 60% - 70 % of Americans firmly believe need fixing to prevent the demise of our Great Country are lost in 2012 election platitudes.


"The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is intrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and, whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will be recalled." George Washington - Letter to Bushrod Washington, November 10, 1787


The 2012 Elections could be America's last hoorah, if American voters don't take control of their employees. This leads us to the real problem.

Have you looked at the Presidential hopefuls, including the heir-apparent? It's like a political airline baggage turnstile. They are all trying to say the right things, but their own political nature calls them out. Personal issues, ideological issues, their voting history, the damaging Bills they supported and all being vocal about the Country's issues but proposing no real solutions.

More empty promises that sound good until you take a closer look and realize it's only more hot air and lies (campaign promises and Politi-speak usually end up being lies).


"Let the reins of government then be braced and held with a steady hand, and every violation of the constitution be reprehended. If defective, let it be amended, but not suffered to be trampled upon whilst it has an existence." George Washington - Letter to Henry Lee, October 31, 1786


So will Americans find hope in a candidate that has the drive and conviction to bypass the Washington quagmire?

What are we really looking for in a leader? A political Party yes man(or Woman)? A Celebrity? The Media's "we know what's best for you " pick?


"The best way to preserve the confidence of the people durably is to promote their true interests." George Washington - Letter to Joseph Reed, July 4, 1780


NO! We are looking for someone that thinks and feels the same as Americans do about their country. someone that is a proven leader. We are looking for a leader to defend and uphold the U.S. Constitution.

Hey, what about Allen West? He is all of those things. But he's already given a firm NO regarding the issue.

When George Washington finished the revolutionary war he was an American hero, but all he wanted was to go home to be a farmer.

"The great Searcher of human hearts is my witness, that I have no wish, beyond living and dying a private citizen on my own farm." George Washington- Letter to Charles Pettit, August 16, 1788

Now that the country was free there was an unsettled feeling and confusion as to the direction of the country. America was in turmoil, sort of like today. The people realized the country needed more than anything, a strong, solid leader to guide them out of the abyss, sort of like now. The new Americans were relentless in their desire for Washington to be their leader. Finally Washington ignored his desires and yielded to the will of the Nation. A True American!


"I was summoned by my country, whose voice I can never hear but with veneration and love." George Washington - First Inaugural Address, April 30, 1789


The second Allen West Apology.

I apologize to Allen West for not pursuing my vision of a leader needed in difficult times.

I apologize for allowing one "NO" to stop me from relentlessly pursuing a leader the country needs now.

And now for my final Allen West apology . . . . .

** Vote for an American Leader in 2012 **

ALLEN, While serving your current term you must have come to the realization that the Office of President, using political maneuvering, has circumvented the power of Congress and the Supreme Court, therefore rendering them in-affective. You can restore the office to it's original intention as President of the United States of America.

ALLEN, Your Congressional term will be served, as promised, in time for the 2012 Inauguration.

ALLEN, Stand above the fray. America is waiting for someone like you.

ALLEN, your Country needs you now, it's time to say yes.

I guess by now you've read through the whole apology thing.

Thank you,

A Constitutional Constituent.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
