Mobilize For Mike HQ

by Team Huckabee

With less than an hour to go until Mobilize for Mike day we wanted to setup our online headquarters.

At midnight a ticker will be added to the frontpage of the website. As you send emails it will count them in real time. The goal isn't to send as many emails as we can, it is to send as many emails as we can to actual voters.

Suggestions for emails:

- Focus on friends, family members and co-workers that vote.

- Emails to Independents, Republicans, Democrats are equally important.

- Personalize the message. Don't just send emails to friends asking them to visit the website, please tell them why it is important that they do.

- Encourage them to forward emails to their friends. Our campaign has always been about friends telling friends about Governor Huckabee. This has been very effective. Let's keep that going.

- Ask them to become actively involved in the campaign.

If you have any tips for personal messages we encourage you to leave them here as a comment so others can see them. If you send 10 emails, 50 emails or 500 emails to friends let us know. Your comments may spur others to send emails. So please let us know when you participate.

We have tried to keep this simple so as many people will participate as possible. Governor Huckabee is going to email you shortly with some additional details.

New December Online Fundraising Goal

Thanks to your financial support in October and November we have the resources we need to be competitive in Iowa.

Since October 1 we have raised more than $3.4 million online. We have set a new online goal of raising $1,150,000 by December 15th to help us in three additional ways:

1. On December 18th Governor Huckabee will begin a bus tour across Iowa. We want to have the financial resources to reach every corner of the state. The money we raise towards this goal will help keep the Huckabus rolling.

2. We need to have the resources to begin running ads in New Hampshire and South Carolina.

3. After the Iowa Caucuses we will need to be prepared to seize the momentum with new television, radio and webads aired nationally. Helping us reach our December 15 goal will put us in a good position to build on our momentum coming out of Iowa.

So please contribute towards our new December 15 online fundraising goal today. We have already raised over $184,000 towards our December goal. Let's keep the momentum going.

Call to action from Huckabee Supporter

2007-11-30T13:13:00.000-07:00

WE ARE ON THE CUSP OF HISTORY!!

Governor Mike Huckabee's run to the White House has been a marathon with long odds. We have a chance to give him a huge boost today and make history. Mike has a positive message of hope four our nation and is the right man, for the right job, at the right time. For the past 29 days we have set our aim at the $2.067 Million monthly online goal. We have reached the final hours of this month and we are getting closer and closer to our goal as the minutes go by. Will you please help me reach it?

Each day brings higher poll numbers nationally an in the key states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, & Florida. However with the new momentum comes increased attacks and mudslinging from rival campaigns and special interest groups. Reaching our goal will allow Mike to continue to spread his message and defend himself against the attacks that are coming.

It is time to seize the day and take our country back. We can do this with your help. Please make a contribution to the Mike Huckabee campaign today. Don't wait - DO IT NOW!! Time is of the essence. We must meet this goal by Midnight and we are $200,000 away with 9 hours away from the end of the month.

Thank you & God Bless

Thoughts on the CNN/ YouTube Debate

2007-11-28T21:17:00.000-07:00

Well I have to say Huckabee did well again and from the reports I saw he impressed many people. All in all he might benefit the most from this debate. Romney didn't do himself any favors and I expect to see a drop in his numbers as a result. Rudy had mixed results and I don't see much change for him. Thompson claiming that the overturning of Roe v. Wade was the most important issue facing America was nuts. I think he did very poorly and pretty much killed his chance at winning the nomination. Hunter did well in my opinion and should expect a bump in the polls. Tancredo was alright but his style is so poor it is hard to take him seriously. McCain annoyed me. He had no respect for the time limits and was kind of patronizing. I was a big fan of John's in the past but his time has passed. Finally there was Ron Paul. He is the most un-presidential of any candidate I can think of. He doesn't look like a leader, speak like a leader or think like a leader. I have to admit I kept picturing him in a Elf costume while he was talking.

Here are the Awards for the debate:

Most Hillary Clinton Like: Mitt Romney - just answer the question

Worst Style: Tom Tancredo

Best Elf/ Mouse Impression: Ron Paul - It's scary knowing he has supporters

The Wiesel Award: Rudy Giuliani - No true Yankee fan would EVER root for the Red Sox (kind of a Hillary thing to do if you ask me)

Biggest Blow-hard: John McCain

Worst Actor: Fred Thompson for his role as a Presidential Candidate

Most Surprising: Duncan Hunter

Winner (person who will benefit the most): Mike Huckabee

The more people see and learn about Mike Huckabee the more they will like him.

Romney a Liberal at Heart and in Action

2007-11-28T15:51:00.000-07:00

How on earth can Romney call himself a conservative? You have to see this ad that ran in Iowa.

Huckabee – 28%

Romney – 25%

Giuliani – 12%

Thompson – 11%

Paul – 5%

McCain – 4%

Huckabee's Truth Squad Responds To Thompson Attacks

Truth Squad: Response to Fred Thompson on Abortion and the HLA

Team Huckabee

November 26, 2007

On Fox News Sunday [11/25/07], Sen. Fred Thompson claimed that Gov. Huckabee "supported the same thing that I've been saying as late as last year, leave [abortion] up to that states, essentially." This is simply not true. Unlike Thompson, Gov. Huckabee's position on abortion respects both federalism and the sanctity of human life.

Gov. Huckabee agrees with Thompson that life begins at conception and that abortion is the taking of human life. He also agrees with Thompson that Roe v. Wade is based on an illegitimate application of the Constitution and that the federal government has no right to allow or prohibit abortion. Where they differ is that Thompson supports a "pro-choice" position for the individual states: He does not support the Human Life Amendment and is content to let the states authorize the destruction of innocent human life.

In contrast, Gov. Huckabee supports a constitutional amendment that would be proposed by Congress and ratified by the state legislatures. The Tenth Amendment makes explicit the notion that the federal government is limited only to the powers granted in the Constitution. For this reason, Gov. Huckabee believes that a constitutional amendment is necessary to ensure that every human being, from the moment of conception to natural death, is not denied equal protection of the law.

Gov. Huckabee has always supported passage of a constitutional amendment to protect the right to life. His convictions regarding the sanctity of life have always been clear and consistent, without equivocation or wavering. Regrettably, the same cannot be said of Sen. Thompson.

Mike Huckabee Receives Endorsement of Republican Sportshooters Association

2007-11-26T13:40:00.000-07:00

News Release: Mike Huckabee Receives Endorsement of Republican Sportshooters Association

November 26, 2007

Little Rock, AR – Former Arkansas Governor and Republican Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee received the endorsement of the Republican Sportshooters Association at a sportsmen’s “meet and greet and skeet shoot” just outside Spartanburg, South Carolina yesterday.

“The Second Amendment is not about loving guns, it is about ensuring freedom,” said Huckabee.

During his remarks, Huckabee told the crowd the story about the rusty old 20 gauge shotgun in his rifle cabinet at home that was his father’s gun, and how one day that gun will be his sons. “You don’t hear stories about fathers passing down video games to their sons,” he quipped.

Wayne Wilkenson, President of the Republican Sportshooters Association, stated: “Mike Huckabee is the authentic consistent conservative, who shares our love of faith, family and freedom. The preservation, promotion, and protection of faith, family, and freedom is the mission of the Republican Sportshooters Association. It is our honor to endorse a candidate who shares our mission and shares our values.”

Huckabee, an ardent supporter of the Second Amendment, was named one of Outdoor Life Magazine’s “25 Most Influential Hunters and Fishermen” earlier this month.

He also has an A+ from the National Rifle Association, an organization in which he has been a lifelong member. Last year, Huckabee won the prestigious One Shot Antelope Shot in Lander, Wyoming – along with National Wild Turkey Federation President Rob Keck and Ranger Boats Founder Forrest Wood.

Huckabee picked up the endorsement after nearly 24-hours of non-stop campaigning in South Carolina, which included attending Saturday’s Clemson-South Carolina football game, speaking at two church services, attending a reception at the home of State Senator David Thomas in Greenville, and skeet shooting (with his wife Janet) at the sportsmen’s event in Spartanburg on Sunday.

Huckabee on 2nd Amendment Rights

2007-11-25T19:24:00.000-07:00

Mike Huckabee is the right choice for protecting our 2nd Amendment Rights. As a gun owner and a hunter there are too many wrong choices from both parties on this issue. Mike Huckabee is right for gun owners, right for sportsmen, right for Colorado and right for America!

The following is taken from Mike Huckabee for President

The Second Amendment is primarily about tyranny and self-defense, not hunting. The Founding Fathers wanted us to be
able to defend ourselves from our own government, if need be, and from all threats to our lives and property.
Second Amendment rights belong to individuals, not cities or states. I oppose gun control based on geography.
I consistently opposed banning assault weapons and opposed the Brady Bill.
As Governor, I protected gun manufacturers from frivolous law suits.
I was the first Governor in the country to have a concealed handgun license.

No candidate has a stronger, more consistent record on Second Amendment rights than I do. Our Founding Fathers, having endured the tyranny of the British Empire, wanted to guarantee our God-given liberties. They devised our three branches of government and our system of checks and balances. But they were still concerned that the system could fail, and that we might someday face a new tyranny from our own government. They wanted us to be able to defend ourselves, and that's why they gave us the Second Amendment. They knew that a government facing an armed populace was less likely to take away our rights, while a disarmed population wouldn't have much hope. As Ronald Reagan reminded us, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction." Without our Second Amendment rights, all of our other rights aren't inalienable, they're just "on loan" from the government.

Other candidates say gun control doesn't affect hunting. Now I'm a very avid hunter, but the Second Amendment isn't really about hunting. It's about tyranny and self-defense. The Founding Fathers weren't worried about our being able to bag a duck or a deer, they were worried about our keeping our fundamental freedoms.

I once saw a bumper sticker that said, "Criminals prefer unarmed victims." Criminals will always find a way to get guns. By disarming our law-abiding citizens, we take away the strongest deterrent to violent criminals - the uncertainty that they don't know who is helpless and who is armed. Our law enforcement officials can't be everywhere, all the time. Lawfully-armed citizens back them up and prevent robberies, rapes, and the murder of innocents. Right after Katrina, with law enforcement non-existent, many victims were able to protect their lives, their homes, and their precious supplies of food and water only because they were armed.

Other candidates believe gun control should be determined geographically, but Second Amendment rights belong to individuals, not cities or states. Your Second Amendment rights don't change when you change your address.

Other candidates filed frivolous law suits against gun manufacturers. When I was Governor, I protected gun manufacturers from exactly those types of suits. I allowed former law enforcement officials to carry concealed handguns and removed restrictions on concealed handgun permit holders. I was the first Governor in the country to have a concealed handgun license, and of course I'm a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association.

Other candidates have supported banning assault weapons. When the federal ban on assault weapons expired in 2004, I said, "May it rest in peace." It won't be returning in the Huckabee Administration.

Zealously protecting your Second Amendment rights is another way that I will lift all law-abiding Americans up, by consistently championing your right to defend yourself.

My Favorite Ad So Far

This has to be the best ad so far. It's nice to see a candidate that doesn't take them self too seriously.
