Barack Obama and his party are defeatists. When Obama retreated from his warnings to Syria regarding their chemical weapons program and told lies to avoid taking military action for the terrorist attack in Benghazi, he sent a clear message to the world: "America is weak. We'll just talk tough and back down. Do as you wish." I have served my country my entire adult life with the sworn oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Long before I set foot in the halls of Congress, I was fighting for the heart and soul of America in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan, defending the freedoms we cherish. I'm not going to sit idly by while Barack Obama cowers away from keeping America strong in the world. Our very freedom depends on it! Will you stand up with me for America? Please follow this link to donate $25, $50, $100, or more to the Guardian Fund today. I'll use your contribution to send 14 hard-charging conservative candidates, who are either veterans or minorities, to Washington who will go to the ends of the earth to protect the Constitution and defend our conservative values in Congress. So, David Daniel, will you help us? Please follow this link to donate $25, $50, $100, or more to the Guardian Fund today. Anyone who has put on our country's uniform knows that our freedom comes from our willingness to defend it. I've risked too much to let Obama get walked on by Putin -- or any other dictator who thinks he's above America. Let's keep America strong by taking action today. Thank you in advance for your support. Steadfast and Loyal,  Lt. Col. Allen B. West, USA (ret) U.S. Congressman (2011-2013) PS: Every penny you give will go towards helping elect 14 men and women, either veterans or minorities. Please follow this link to donate $25, $50, $100, or more to the Guardian Fund today. | |||
