A Public Apology

28 June 2007 - It is time for me to join the ranks of Paris Hilton, Bill Clinton, and Michael Vick and offer a public apology to the American People. I want to apologize to the American People for doubting that they could rise up and defeat the will of the Republican and Democratic Leadership of the U.S. Senate, The President of the United States, La Raza, MALDEF, and the Lobbyists representing the the American Home Builders Association, big Agro-Business, and others.

I want to apologize to Chris Krok, D.A. King, Tom Tancredo, Chip Rodgers, and Talk Radio. You have all restored my faith in the political process.

By killing the Immigration Reform bill, the American electorate has demonstrated a public will of an intensity the likes of which I have never witnessed before. They have demonstrated that the political process can work if the individual is so stirred.

Now that I have issued my apology, I will follow it with a warning.

A warning to the political power brokers of the old guard, the lobbyists, the Good Old Boys, and the National Committees of both parties:

The average person who sat on the sidelines watching the political world go by as they sat passively by, occasionally complaining, has now entered into the fray. They have been angered, they have learned how to dial, fax, and e-mail their representatives and senators. They have called into talk radio, converted their friends and relatives, protested in the streets like they have never done before.
They have tasted victory, and I believe it is a sensation they will not soon forget.
Come November of '08 they will also taste the political blood of some of those who have stirred their ire.

The liberal community sat on the side quietly relishing the in-fighting of the Republican Party, anticipating additional defeats for Conservatives in '08. But the debate on Immigration will have far reaching effects on America's political process. This issue has struck like a bolt of lightning igniting a brush fire of grass roots activism. The Conservative base has been energized, and you will see a purging / rebirth of the Conservative Movement inside the Republican Party during the national primaries.

We the People have been awakened, and we will be watching.

Ever the Conservative Sentinel.

Pictures From the Cobb GOP Convention

17 June 2007 - Happy father's day! Here are some photographs from the State Convention I figured I would post for future reference, just to prove I was there.There turned out to be more excitement than expected. Senator Chambliss was actually booed when he announced his support for the Immigration "Amnesty" Bill. Governor Perdue continued his family feud with the leadership of the Georgia Assembly over spending cuts. And we saw an actual race for one of the State Committee positions :) So, without further discourse, here are the photographs.
