I am Actually Going to Volunteer

I have never once in my life volunteered or even cared enough to try and get involved more with any politicians campaign.  I have never posted a bumper sticker on my car, because I know they are a pain to get off and partially because I didn't want to draw unwanted attention to myself.  Well, maybe I am getting older or something but I can't just sit back and do nothing when things really are reaching a critical stage in this country.  Part of the reason that I want to stand up and do something (although I doubt anyone reads this blog) is because I am sick of not really having a choice when it comes to voting.  Take the race for the available senate seat in Arizona this year.  John McCain is a career politician that will say whatever it takes to keep him in office, even if it means reversing his position every year ("I'm a maverick, no I'm not a maverick"). J.D. Hayworth seemed like a good choice until you start to look at the things that he actually voted for in congress, and the things that he did for personal gain like very questionable infomercials and becoming a lobbyist. It soon became apparent that he would just be more of the same, a self serving politician who will say whatever it takes to get elected. 
For a long time I only knew about the two republican candidates for the senate race but once I got so disgusted thinking that the only choice I was going to have was to vote for the lesser of two evils I decided to look and see if there was any other possible choice.  That is when I found Jim Deakin. I have read quite a bit about him and I think I have actually found a good choice.  Jim Deakin holds very high the constitutional principles that are the only thing that will save this country.  He is for the repealing of the 17th amendment which, if repealed, would put the appointing of U.S. senators back into the state government's hands where it belongs. We are not a democracy we are a republic and the only way we can truly be a republic is to have strong states and the 17th amendment stole the power from the states to appoint senators and instead made senators appointed by popular vote.
It is for this reason, and the fact that I agree with all of his policy stances, that I am endorsing Jim Deakin for U.S. senate. I have contacted his campaign and told them that, although I cannot really contribute financially, I want to do whatever I can to help spread the word that we do have a real choice in this republican primary to get a constitutional conservative to take this country down the road to restoring our freedom.
See this video on you tube that is another person explaining in her own words why she supports Jim Deakin and then look into him more closely yourself and see what you think.  Don't buy the crap that we should vote for one of the two major candidates because they have a better chance of beating the challenger. Vote for who you think will actually do the job the way it was meant to be done.
