4 years ago and 8 years ago I ran for Mississippi senate. I let it be known that I am a no-nonsense conservative who will not compromise my basic principles. My opponent both times let it be known that he is well connected to the establishment. Back then it was a great benefit to be connected to the establishment and to the money that that connection generates. Times have changed. Groups like the TEA Party have awakened the people. It is now cool to be conservative. It is so cool in fact that a lot of establishment legislators are pretending that they always were conservative. The few people who know the truth about me have been begging me to try just one more time.
I had decided to give up running for office. I was tired of loosing. I was tired of having my name dragged threw the mud. I was tired of the vile rumors that were spread about me. I was tired of my own words and even this blog being twisted and used against me. I am still tired of it but I am also tired of watching what is happening to our state and nation. I cannot just set and watch all this crap continue. Once again my name will be on the ballot in August.
The last 2 times that I ran I tried to do it all by my self. I put up my own signs. I made my own phone calls. I went out alone knocking on doors. This time I will not do that. I must have the good conservatives of Mississippi talking about me and spreading the TRUTH about me.
I had this blog and used it often before the last election. I left the comments unmonitored so anyone could say what they wanted. The trouble is that several people wrote vile things under my name and my political opponent printed copies of the lies and handed them out at a rally. I have long since deleted nearly all of my writings along with the vile comments. I almost completely quit writing here when I discovered that Facebook is an easier way to connect to people. Now that I am putting my name on the ballot I am once again using this blog as a way to let people know what I believe in. I am still on Facebook more but as time goes on I will say more things here too.
Remember that I cannot run this race alone. Please spread the TRUTH about me.

One note lest this blog post be used against me: Yes I did call what is going on "crap" I did not call the incumbent senator crap. I also did not say that he singled handedly caused the crap. He did not cause the crap but he did set by and let it happen.
You can count on me. I will talk about you to my friends.
