Why You Should Work and Pray For a Huckabee Victory in Texas!
Dave Welch*
There is growing pressure by media, Republican politicians and even some conservative leaders to just accept the "inevitable" of a McCain nomination and it is imperative that we stay focused and not be swayed...
Don’t sell out, fellow conservative. Vote your values.
Kelly Shackelford*
It has been a very long time since Texas Republicans have had the chance to vote and speak their values in a Presidential Primary. We have that opportunity right now. The question is whether grassroots conservatives will be tricked into not voting their values by the media and establishment leaders.
A Kindred Spirit - Mike Huckabee
Rick Scarborough*
In 1977, while attending Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth, Texas, I met a fellow student with whom I immediately felt a kindred spirit…Mike Huckabee...

Editorial: We recommend Mike Huckabee
Whatever Texas Republican primary voters do Tuesday, John McCain is all but guaranteed to be the party's presidential nominee. It is mathematically impossible for Mike Huckabee, the last remaining major GOP contender, to capture the nomination. The former Arkansas governor even turned up on Saturday Night Live recently to poke fun at himself for not going away.
- 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 SecondAmendment rights than I do. Our Founding Fathers, having endured thetyranny of the British Empire, wanted to guarantee our God-givenliberties. They devised our three branches of government and our systemof checks and balances. But they were still concerned that the systemcould fail, and that we might someday face a new tyranny from our owngovernment. They wanted us to be able to defend ourselves, and that'swhy they gave us the Second Amendment. They knew that a governmentfacing an armed populace was less likely to take away our rights, whilea disarmed population wouldn't have much hope. As Ronald Reaganreminded us, "Freedom is never more than one generation away fromextinction." Without our Second Amendment rights, all of our otherrights aren't inalienable, they're just "on loan" from the government.
Other candidates say gun control doesn't affect hunting. Now I'm avery avid hunter, but the Second Amendment isn't really about hunting.It's about tyranny and self-defense. The Founding Fathers weren'tworried about our being able to bag a duck or a deer, they were worriedabout our keeping our fundamental freedoms.
I once saw a bumper sticker that said, "Criminals prefer unarmedvictims." Criminals will always find a way to get guns. By disarmingour law-abiding citizens, we take away the strongest deterrent toviolent criminals - the uncertainty that they don't know who ishelpless and who is armed. Our law enforcement officials can't beeverywhere, all the time. Lawfully-armed citizens back them up andprevent robberies, rapes, and the murder of innocents. Right afterKatrina, with law enforcement non-existent, many victims were able toprotect their lives, their homes, and their precious supplies of foodand water only because they were armed.
Other candidates believe gun control should be determinedgeographically, but Second Amendment rights belong to individuals, notcities or states. Your Second Amendment rights don't change when youchange your address.
Other candidates filed frivolous law suits against gunmanufacturers. When I was Governor, I protected gun manufacturers fromexactly those types of suits. I allowed former law enforcementofficials to carry concealed handguns and removed restrictions onconcealed handgun permit holders. I was the first Governor in thecountry to have a concealed handgun license, and of course I'm alifetime member of the National Rifle Association.
Other candidates have supported banning assault weapons. When thefederal ban on assault weapons expired in 2004, I said, "May it rest inpeace." It won't be returning in the Huckabee Administration.
Zealously protecting your Second Amendment rights is another waythat I will lift all law-abiding Americans up, by consistentlychampioning your right to defend yourself.
