friends, below is an archive post from august. i wanted to repost it, for those that have not read this before...but more importantly, to remind us all ....why we're involved and supporting governor huckabee for the presidency....BECAUSE OF OUR CONVICTIONS...
below are excerpts from an interview with govenor mike huckabee regarding the evangelical christians' involvement in the presidential election and political process. govenor huckabee eloquently and passionately articulates the issues at hand. (emphasis mine)
If the NRA, for example says well this time, 'We don't care about your position on guns, it's really all about your position on global warming.' Then the NRA has just lost it's leverage. If Greenpeace says, 'We don't care about your positon on the environment all we care about is your position on guns', they've lost their leverage on their issue.
If the Evangelical Comminity doesn't hold our feet to the fire as canidates, about our own personal character as well as our stand and our record on issues like the sacntity of human life and the role of traditional marriage, then you know what? We've lost our leverage. We're another political special interest group like the Republican Women of any county USA. And have lost any real impact in helping to shape the debate and move the election.
I would hate to see that happen. Because many of us have become involved in and embroiled in the political world BECAUSE of our convictions, BECAUSE we believe things.What a shame if we lose that. What a shame if all the years in which people have worked to try to make sure that we could influence the position of our government toward the innocent human life that is now taken at will.
If we lose that, it's not about losing elections, we've lost really our soul, our integrity and our purpose for being involved."christians...WE NEED TO GET INVOLVED, BECAUSE OF OUR CONVICTIONS, WE NEED TO GET INVOLVED BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THINGS.
christians, it's time to step out.... it's time to get involved.

this was an audio interview i found on sc4huckabee's site. (although, it's a bit difficult to find on the site.) i tried to add the link of the clip to my post, but couldn't get it to work (computer challenged :p). i tried to link it through utube as well, but no go.
either way, it's a great interview, and huckabee is articulate and eloquent as ever!
On my own blog today (August 27, 2007 at http://camp2008victorya.blogspot.com, I offer some good advice to Gov. Huckabee on how he can advance his standing in the race for the Republican nomination and the presidency. I'd love to hear your comments (and get your support for my suggestions). Thanks.

Many Huckabee backers are also supporting Sarah Palin for V-P. She is a devoted Christian who spoke about her faith to Fred Barnes, whose article is accessible on my blog.
Great blog! We Christians do need to mobilize for our candidate!
Keep up the great work!

thanks for the encouragement, and kind words.
ONWARD!
Hi - Would you join me in getting the word out about a plan to raise $1 million for Huckabee's campaign on November 20th - Children's Day - Mike Huckabee is our greatest hope for all children, the born and the unborn.
Here's the website ... I hope you'll help us get the word out.

I like the leverage angle. I can hear a political consultant now.
Brand X: "What about the evangelicals? How do we get their support?"
Consultant: "Find some common ground to help them save face, then project yourself as the one that can win. Don't worry, they will come around."
