Somewhere across America there is a politician running who meets your standards for enlightened conservatism. Send him twenty dollars. Every month. And a letter saying what you think is important, and maybe print out an article (or blog post) you think his staff ought to read. Congress is our firewall. We need it. Whoever gets in the White House, he or she is gonna be a pro-amnesty squish at best and the Shamnesty crew is already doing a little dance about it. So we need to do whatever we can to slow it down in Congress. And we need some Senators who are going to filibuster their little butts off when McCain or Obama or Hillary send some noodle-spined hack through the confirmation process on his way to being a judge or a cabinet member. We can’t lose any seats and even safe seats, like Jim Inhofe’s in Oklahoma, need your attention and support.

All the attention goes to the presidential race. But remember what a Conservative congress can do. Think 1994. Besides, much of our problems had to do with the Congress losing sight of their base. If we support specific candiates instead of “the party” we can exert our message much more effectively. Not one dime for Mel Martinez, Arlen Specter or Ted Stevens. Millions for DeMint [insert leg-humping sound here].
