Text of the page (random words):
in forming the values of our party in our county so i am grateful to congressman hunter for the influence he had on me and for giving me a reason to continue to fight i had never been as involved in the political process until i got involved with congressman hunter s campaign i was always a voter and always an informed voter but i had never done anything more than that being a part of all of this has been a most wonderful experience and i don t regret any of it i am so grateful that i live in a country where i can exercise my freedoms that so many brave men fought to uphold i forgot to mention that i was also elected as a delegate to our state convention i am sure that it will be even more interesting than our county convention being that washoe county is mostly conservative and clark county is mostly liberal i am looking forward to being involved in preserving our conservative values at our state convention it would be an honor to represent my state as a national delegate however the prospects are fairly low on getting elected as only 33 delegates will go to the national convention either way i look forward to the opportunity and anxiously await being able to speak up for my values at our state s convention next month posted in conservatism politics leave a comment close the one way trade street write your congressman now posted by sierrascrapper on january 30 2008 trade demands a level playing field the goal 1 get this bill out of committee on the floor and get it debated 2 get our elected representatives to pass h r 2600 the bipartisan border tax equity act h r 2600 has been introduced by congresman bill pascrell d nj duncan hunter r ca mike michaud d me and walter jones r nc the purpose is to correct border tax inequities that currently disadvantage u s producers and service providers to the tune of 379 billion a year h r 2600 border tax equity act of 2007 h r 2600 needs our help our elected representatives need us to give them a little push a summary of h r 2600 to authorize the imposition of a tax on imports from any country that employs indirect taxes and grants rebates of the same upon export and to authorize compensatory payments to eligible united states exporters to neutralize the discriminatory effect of such taxes paid by such exporters if united states trade negotiating objectives regarding border tax treatment in world trade organization negotiations are not met introduced 6 6 2007 10 cosponsors latest major action 6 18 2007 referred to house subcommittee status referred to the subcommittee on trade folks let s not let this bill die in committee you and i need this bill american business needs this bill the united states of america needs this bill please take the time to learn more about h r 2600 h r 2600 border tax equity act of 2007 the goal of our free trade agreements such as the gatt general agreement on tariffs and trade and the world trade organization wto was to lower tariffs mutually in pursuit of worldwide free trade the trouble is that it takes two to tango and we trade with at least 137 other countries that dance to a different tune so far free trade has been a one way street we freely opened our markets to any junk any country wanted to sell here while foreign markets remain closed to us industry when other countries reduced their tariffs they simultaneously imposed border tax schemes particularly value added taxes vat which add up to almost exactly the same amount as the tariffs that were supposedly reduced or eliminated this sleight of hand trick is achieved by imposing vat taxes on imports a de facto tariff and rebating vat taxes on exports look folks think globally for a moment everybody else in the world can t all be wrong perhaps the us in this case has made a mistake h r 2600 will help rectify this just a little bit why do we need h r 2600 learn more about why here trade demands a level playing field congress has repeatedly tried to resolve this border tax discrimination by good faith negotiations with vat countries but other countries continue to say no dice and the wto turns a deaf ear and don t get me wrong here as sovereign nations they have a right they have the freedom of choice to say no this fuels the trade deficit cripples u s competitiveness and provides a powerful incentive for u s companies to shift production and jobs overseas thousands of u s companies have shifted production to nations that use a vat where they avoid taxation you can t blame business their goal is to make profits less tax more profit so who do you blame it is the u s trade policy that is at fault again it is the u s trade policy that is at fault the problem is not nor has it ever been lazy americans americans are the world s most productive workers read this americans are the worlds most productive workers many many times us trade representatives have complained to the wto the wto s refusal to address this discrimination proves its anti american bias it s time to speak up for american industry american jobs and you and i the american people and that is exactly what h r 2600 border tax equity act of 2007 does let s all help spread the word together we will make a difference those who do nothing soon find that they can do nothing why don t we take this on let s as a group of people who care about the future of this nation make a goal of 1 get this bill out of committee on the floor and get it debated 2 get our elected representatives to pass h r 2600 are you with us yes great the time for action is upon us posted in china duncan hunter grassroots politics unfair trade leave a comment hunter endorses huckabee posted by sierrascrapper on january 24 2008 hunter endorses huckabee for president for immediate release january 23 2008 contact gary becks 619 334 1655 washington d c congressman duncan hunter who withdrew his candidacy for the republican presidential nomination on january 19 2007 today endorsed mike huckabee i got to know governor huckabee well on the campaign trail said hunter of the remaining candidates i feel that he is strongly committed to strengthening national defense constructing the border fence and meeting the challenge of china s emergence as a military superpower that is taking large portions of america s industrial base along with these issues of national security border enforcement and protecting the u s industrial base i see another quality of mike huckabee s candidacy that compels my endorsement mike huckabee is a man of outstanding character and integrity i saw that character over the last year of campaigning and was greatly impressed the other republican candidates have many strengths and i wish them all well my personal choice is mike huckabee hunter concluded gary becks hunter for president media relations 619 334 1655 this announcement is difficult to swallow but i really see this as the right move for duncan hunter if he had chosen to endorse mccain we would all be sickened due to mccain s hand in mccain kennedy and mccain feingold if hunter had chosen romney we would all be disgusted due to romney s uninterest in the problems facing our nation with china giuliani would never cross hunter s mind so that leaves only one other choice and that is huckabee yes i think huckabee isn t the true conservative that we had in hunter but i also see the ability of hunter being able to influence huckabee hunter would be the most excellent choice to balance out a huckabee ticket in the general election huckabee needs someone strong like hunter to appeal to conservatives the thought of supporting huckabee at this point is still a difficult pill to swallow but i do trust hunter s decision and i do see potential for hunter to help huckabee make some wise choices so that he can garner more support and possibly win the nomination all i can say is that this election cycle is getting more interesting by the day i am still not going to sit back and let someone dictate to me who i should vote for so at this point i am still doing my homework and trying to sort everything out remember if we don t speak up our votes don t really matter posted in duncan hunter elections endorsements presidential candidates 1 comment what s a conservative to do posted by sierrascrapper on january 22 2008 op ed piece written by dennis mccarthy i m in a political state of mourning this week i m a conservative and my presidential candidate of choice recently dropped out of the race now with the options left i may be forced to sit out the general election this november there are no conservatives left in this presidential race congressman duncan hunter r ca never got any traction with the voters he was unable to amass the war chest necessary for such a huge undertaking he was at first stuck in the corner podium for debates in fact he and tom ancredo called each other the bookends later on he was shut out of the debates entirely this made it impossible to continue his campaign since his biggest obstacle was convincing folks he was still in the race duncan hunter was outmanned by other candidates who had paid political operatives and consultants here in florida his grassroots volunteer force was fewer than a thousand people and most of those only came on board in the last few weeks not enough time to make a significant impact i m not a political animal but after seeing him on a cable news talk show about this time last year talking about the success of his border fence i got involved with the hunter campaign the time i spent was well worth it though because the man i spent that time on was worth it duncan hunter is a complete conservative he s strong on the border of course but he s also been consistently strong on military defense he s been consistently pro life pro faith and pro family and is a strong supporter of every american s right to bear arms other candidates resumes have some of these qualities none of them have all most crucial and timely to this week s world economic crisis duncan hunter knows the importance of a solid manufacturing base to america s economy that s why he planned on canceling our unfair trade deals with communist china who s been cheating on trade devaluing their own currency in order to weaken the us dollar and sending america childrens toys dipped in lead paint duncan hunter s mirror trade policy that is subjecting america s trade partners to the same taxes and tariffs they impose on us was a plan for which no other candidate had a response as i pounded the streets for duncan hunter people everywhere told me duncan s a good man and a great conservative it s a shame he doesn t have a chance hell of winning and if he had a dollar for every time someone said that the hunter campaign would have had enough money to buy him a blimp in a conference call with volunteer leaders last saturday night hunter stopped short of endorsing any other candidate though he had some kind words for one and some unkind words for a few others fred thompson is the most conservative of the remaining candidates if he s still in the race at press time that is but his wife seems to want to be first lady far more fervently than he wants to be president mike huckabee shares hunter s conservative values however huck s soft stance on illegal immigration and lack of any experience with military issues are two big reasons i may not be able to pull the level for him in november rudy mitt mccain no way ron paul no thanks i m reminded of a scene from the movie nuts in which an accused murderer barbra streisand fires her high priced lawyer and ends up with a pro bono legal aid attorney richard dreyfuss she asks him so are you any good dreyfus gives her a scathing look and sneers you had good now you ve got me that s how i m feeling right now we had good now that the only complete conservative in the race is out of the race we have far less of a choice posted in china conservatism duncan

san diego tonight saturday january 19 2008 media opportunity at 8 00 pm pst broadway pier at the end of broadway st san diego for immediate release january 19 2008 contact gary becks 619 334 1655 garybecks yahoo com san diego calif we started this campaign a year ago right here in san diego harbor against the backdrop of american naval power we launched a campaign emphasizing a strong national defense enforceable borders and restoring the industrial base of america today we end this campaign the nevada caucuses reflecting only 2 of the vote for me i ran the campaign exactly the way i wanted to and at this point not being able to gain traction in conservative states of nevada and south carolina it s time to allow our volunteers and supporters to focus on the campaigns that remain viable it s time for me to gear up for 2008 s defense bill that will be put together over the coming weeks there is work to be done in the areas of troop protection and new capabilities to be deployed in iraq and afghanistan and over the horizon the emergence of communist china as a military super power will require a new emphasis on u s capabilities in undersea warfare space and long range air power the best way to maintain a new era of peace is for the u s to remain strong over the coming year i will endeavor to help craft a defense bill that meets the new security challenges since our campaign began over 200 000 additional manufacturing jobs have been lost 1 8 million jobs have left the u s for china this fracturing of the u s industrial base is a long term threat to america i hope that the remaining candidates will recognize it and address it as the senior republican on the house armed services committee i will seek to address it only hours ago a border patrolman was killed in the california desert this tragedy emphasizes more than ever the compelling case for the completion of the border fence since i wrote the bill that mandates 854 miles of double border fence only a few miles have been constructed over the next year in congress i will do everything in my power to get that fence built finally for lynn and me the campaign over the last year has shown us this america is a wonderful country our people have great character and goodness and the meeting of new friends has enriched our lives the failure of our campaign to gain traction is mine and mine alone but we have driven the issues of national security the border fence the emergence of china and the need to reverse bad trade policy because of that this campaign has been very worthwhile and for the hunter family a lot of fun to our friends and supporters and volunteers many thanks and now it s time for me to focus on developing a 2008 defense bill that serves our troops and our nation thanks and god bless
