Thank you to the 262,543 visitors here during the 2008 campaign. Thanks to you we accomplished great things. Sometimes Victory is merely in taking part.

Please join us over at Conservative Solutions.

The fight continues!

Your Impact: Give Yourself A “Thank You”, I’m Giving You One.

2008-11-06T15:36:00.000-05:00

Your Impact: Give Yourself A “Thank You”, I’m Giving You One.

I wanted to take the time to sincerely thank any and all of you out there that participated in this election cycle. I thank those that were with us from the start, those that joined us in the end and everyone in-between.

I am saving my comments and thoughts regarding the outcome of the election, the future of our cause etc for a later post. This is simply a straight forward THANK YOU.

(for the record when I say we throughout this post I’m talking about YOU!)

In the past two years I have been lucky enough to meet folks all across this nation from every conceivable ethnic background and walk of life. I’ve communicated with you via, phone, internet, TV, Radio and even in person. Overall I am better off for it.

Often throughout this process doubts were present. Doubts about our abilities, or focus,

Our agenda, our purpose, our impact and practically everything else. I can assure you from the bottom of my heart there is no doubt.

For those that questioned our impact and all of the aforementioned let me just give you a bit of info to digest.

Collectively we posted 345,621 blog posts. (related to the mccain campaign etc) That is the most accurate number I have (and trust me I’ve done my best to keep close track) however I am quite certain the number is higher. Our first month in operation we increased McCain’s over-all online presence by 524%. It never fell again. We had articles, stories etc picked up by the Main Stream Media, TV, Print and Radio etc that otherwise never would’ve appeared there. Often we completely took over tracking sites such as Technorati, Wonkosphere and several others . . .we retained a strong presence on all throughout.

THANK YOU.

Before we lost the ability to directly track our contributions (as of January of 2008) we had contributed $116,000.00 dollars directly to the McCain campaign. Since we only grew and put forth stronger numbers and efforts from that point on I can safely assume that number rose dramatically. We also raised $4309.64 for various conservative/republican candidates around the country directly through slatecard, Along with another $3625.00 for candidates above and beyond that.

THANK YOU.

Over 64,400 people from around the country clicked on our link to make phone calls on behalf of the campaign. Many of us held phone banks periodically in our homes, made calls on our own or went to HQ above and beyond that.

THANK YOU.

Many of us were interviewed by or asked to write for or speak to the Main Stream Media,

Including FOX news, NBC, CBS, Columbia News Journal, Medill News, Hundreds of collegiate and high school news services, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, Dozens and dozens of radio programs, the BBC (many times) and the list goes on and on.

THANK YOU.

When the campaign was low on resources WE WERE THERE. In the NH primary we literally put 500 boots on the ground. These volunteers did everything a paid campaign normally covers. We single handedly won the NH primary for McCain which of course resulted in his attaining the nomination of the party.

When McCain began the no surrender tour it was from our ranks he pulled the veterans and volunteers, many of us road on that tour with him when he need us.

THANK YOU.

We contributed THOUSANDS of dollars directly out of pocket to cover expenses of our efforts, to help others etc. (I will not give the dollar amounts to protect those that wish to remain private etc).

THANK YOU.

We traveled around the country to battleground areas and areas in desperate need of additional support, typically on our own dime.

THANK YOU.

When the campaign was lacking in signage we took up the cause. We raised money for signs around the country. We shipped over 3000 signs in a two month period to states, areas that needed them. We shipped them in most cases without charging the receiving party. Often we even covered the shipping charges. Not including all of the stickers, hats and pins we sent out.

The campaign on numerous occasions implemented ‘our’ ideas and took ‘our’ advice.

(had they done it a lil’ more often perhaps we would’ve won . . . lol)

We also ran 21 Television commercials in KEY battleground areas around the country thanks to direct donations from YOU!

THANK YOU.

We created ‘groups’ in every state on facebook, google and other platforms. (over 800 affiliated groups, most set up by us directly!) From these groups 15 individuals were directly hired by the campaign (several others had offers and turned them down, but continued to volunteer anyhow!). Of those 15 directly hired 2 were at our request, 8 at our suggestion. One of these folks became part of McCain’s official personal advance team another one of Sarah Palin’s handlers.

The google groups (which ended with 745 members) were utilized directly by the McCain campaign for several months and we received several written messages thanking us for that use and the amazing results they achieved when using them. Often they found their ‘area’ leaders or boots on the ground folks directly from those groups. They stated that they always had a positive response and that every time they reached out via that avenue those folks ALWAYS showed up for them.

THANK YOU.

We had an amazing force of numbers and effort. Our contact list grew to over 700,000 during the course of this campaign. AMAZING! That is just staggering! That is from members of our various sites/blogs/groups/subscriptions etc. Millions upon millions of ‘hits’ and ‘visits’ to our sites,blogs,platforms. Hundreds of thousands of readers (sometimes for one blog). . . you truly reached the masses my friends.

THANK YOU.

Now I could go on and on boring you with details and numbers but I won’t. I just wanted to make sure you had at least a slight idea of the tremendous impact you had. We may not have won, but ultimately our accomplishment was astounding. We impacted the process. We insisted our voice be heard and succeeded. NEVER forget that.

The ‘battle’ may be over however the war rages on. The war for the heart and soul of our country has begun. Don’t start whispering now, do not hang your heads in shame, or storm away in anger and frustration. The sun came up on November 5^th, I saw it.

I am proud of what I did for the past three years. I am proud of all you have done. I am proud of the McCain family and am honored to count them among my friends, just as I do many of you.

So once again I offer you my most heart-felt and deepest thanks. I wish I had the time and energy to list and thank you all by name . . . I can not. Before I end however, I would like to give a special thanks to just a handful folks that went far above and beyond their call of duty . . .(there are many more, but bare with me)

Kathy Morrisson, Michael Schuyler, Brad Marston, Jeff Vath, John Barnhart, Bill Smith,

Branden Folger, Samantha Folger, Brad Hansen, Andi Card, Debra Aldinger, Yomin Postelnik, Jean Avery, Andrea Snell, Ian Droste, Sharon Caliendo, Oliver Ditch, Jonathan Tallman, and many many many many more.

More important than our own ‘feelings’ or even more important than congratulating the new President-elect is to give our advice on how our nations needs to be guided.

It is our duty as citizens, it is our obligation to our country to press on and do so. The democrats and Obama may indeed not listen, however we may still benefit our nation by speaking up.

As promised -- LGTR is still here and in the battle for conservative ideals and principles. Thank you for all your efforts getting ready for the 2008 election.

LGTR also values you, your friends and others who are in this fight and commend yours and their efforts. Starting immediately, LGTR will begin work towards taking back control of the Congress in 2010. Ronald Reagan told his supporters upon the election of Jimmy Carter, that the time would be ripe for a major change in four years because America cannot abide socialism for long and to prepare immediately. The same effect happened with the Clinton Administration who lost control of Congress.

Invite your friends to turn their present negative reactions to the election into something positive by joining this LGTR FaceBook Group http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://letsgetthisright.com .

And also opening an account on the LGTR web site http://letsgetthisright.org

Also remember you can form groups on the LGTR website and start communicating and preparing for the future by addressing conservative values and principles right now.

Again . . . THANK YOU,

Sincerely,

Sheridan B Folger

Congratulations President Elect Obama

2008-11-05T03:24:00.000-05:00

I join Senator McCain in congratulating our new President, Barack Hussein Obama. I wish him great luck, wisdom and courage as he leads us to the post-racial, post partisan America that he has guaranteed will come with his election.

Those of us who have supported his opponent, John McCain are waiting anxiously for President Elect Obama to reach across the aisle to us and be will ing to compromise gfor the betterment of America.

I urge President Elect Obama to reject the highly partisan politics of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and find areas where he can embrace the political ideals of Senator McCain, and other Republicans.

Perhaps the first place he should start is appointments to the US Supreme Court. I look forward to a President Obama holding himself to the same standard on judicial appointments that he has held President Bush. Then Senator Obama said that while he felt that Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito were emminently qualified, they did not meet his litmus test as the most liberal member of the Senate.

I look forward to President Obama nominating Supreme Court Justices that are not only as qualified as Roberts and Alito but are also acceptable to the most conservative members of Senate as he insisted of President Bush.

As a citizen of this great country, I applaud the success of President Elect Obama and will respect the Office of the Presidency. I will also respect President Obama as he earns my respect each and every day.

Unfortunately I fear I will be sorely disappointed.

Minutes for McCain Palin

2008-10-31T00:54:00.000-04:00

Show up to make phone calls for McCain-Palin and you never know who may show up.

So Meghan did show up. I think it is important to realize the importance the campaign is putting on the volunteer grass roots and net roots effort. As Meghan says in the interview, she has been traveling around to campaign headquarters to thank and rally the troops.

Towards the end of the video you can hear Meghan saying she wanted to talk to me and we got a chance to as we rolled on the Straight Talk Express to Boston College.

What we talked about was GOTV efforts and how important they are in every campaign.

I snagged the picture above from Meghan's Blog. The caption was "Brad Marston McCain e-Campaign Coordinator." I wish I was. I think I have done some good for the McCain campaign but at the end of the day, I am just a guy who waves a sign, sends an e-mail or makes a phone call.

Everyone who reads this post can do the same. Politics is like life. 90% is just showing up.

Don't let those free cell phone minutes go unused!

Don't let those Rollover minutes expire!

Let's use our Minutes for McCain-Palin 2008!

Let’s Get This Right

in conjunction with

McCainGoogleGroups.com, McCainVictory08.com, McCainNow.com,

McCain State Facebook Groups,

PoliticoMafioso and MadIrishman

is urging EVERYONE to use their

MINUTES FOR McCAIN-PALIN 2008!!!

Working together, we can make 100,000 calls for McCain-Palin 2008 between now and November 4th. If you believe you pay enough taxes, if you believe Barack Obama shouldn’t spread YOUR wealth around, if you believe in the 2^nd Amendment, if you believe that Barack Obama should nominate the next two Supreme Court justices, if you believe that the best government is that which governs least YOU NEED TO MAKE THESE VITAL

GET OUT THE VOTE CALLS TO BATTLEGROUND STATES SUCH AS PENNSYLVANIA, FLORIDA, OHIO, NEW HAMPSHIRE, COLORADO, VIRGINIA, NEW MEXICO, NEVADA, MISSOURI AND NORTH CAROLINA.

You can make 20 calls in each session using the OnLine Phone Bank at www.JohnMcCain.com. It will take about 45 minutes depending on the number of people you actually reach.

If EVERY loyal McCain-Palin supporters who read this make just 20 calls a day between now and Election Day we can EASILY make our goal of 100,000 calls for McCain-Palin 2008 (if not more.) According to polls, 59% of Americans describe themselves as “conservative” or “somewhat conservative.” There was no Liberal groundswell in the 2006 election. Conservatives and Republicans just stayed home.

45 MINUTES A DAY WHICH WILL SHAPE THIS COUNTRY FOR THE NEXT EIGHT YEARS! 45 MINUTES A DAY FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME. INVITE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY OVER WITH THEIR LAPTOPS AND CELL PHONES AND WORK TOGETHER.

Why are we targeting these states? Why isn't your state a targeted state?
We are focusing on 10 states that President Bush won in 2004 that are currently either "toss-ups" or leaning either McCain-Palin or Obama-Biden. We need to hold these states. Please help us do exactly that!

NH Representative Hector Velez - Another Democrat for McCain

2008-10-30T18:04:00.000-04:00

From the Manchester Union Leader:

MANCHESTER – WHILE BARACK OBAMA talks a good game about being able to unite this country, as a former Hillary Clinton supporter who has closely examined both his words and actions, I don’t see it that way at all. I and a growing number of my fellow Democratic elected officials in New Hampshire believe that it is actually John McCain who is best able to bring us together as a country and a people, will inspire a new American unity and patriotism and will push all of us to work together to solve our most pressing challenges at home and abroad.

Given the fact that I am making a difficult decision to cross party lines to support Sen. McCain, I thought it would be useful to explain why I am joining a growing number of Democrats (including three lifelong Democratic state representatives who have endorsed John McCain in just the last month) in this state who are uniting to elect John McCain as our next President. While Obama talks of putting partisan politics aside, the reality is that his record in the U.S. Senate shows he has voted with Democrats 97 percent of the time. He has never once taken on the Democratic Party on even a single issue.

Read the rest of the story about why Rep. Velez is crossing party lines and voting for John McCain.

An Inside Look at the Polls

2008-10-29T17:39:00.001-04:00

I had written some time ago that if we saw a repeat of 2006 when 11 million Republican voters stayed home, John McCain would suffer a massive defeat. If 125 million+ voted this year, McCain stood a very good chance of winning the presidency. Now the number seems to 130 million+ and my thinking hasn't changed. While I don't believe in polls as a snapshot, I do believe that "the trend is your friend" and things seem to be trending our way.

The McCain-Palin campaign released a memo from Bill McInturff, Lead Pollster, McCain-Palin 2008; Partner, Public Opinion Strategies and Marc Halperin over at The Page posted a copy of it. You can read the memo over at ThePage.Time.com. Below is a key excerpt but I encourage you to read it for yourself especially as we head into the last few days of the campaign.

As other public polls begin to show Senator Obama dropping below 50% and the margin over McCain beginning to approach margin of error with a week left, all signs say we are headed to an election that may easily be too close to call by next Tuesday.

1. We are witnessing a significant shift across the battleground states.

Obama Loses

2008-10-26T01:00:00.001-04:00

...and it is all my fault! I am damned proud of it too!

Okay...this is from MoveOn.org but the chance of watching news reports of an Obama loss and my being credited with it is just too damned sweet to pass up!

If that was all it took to keep Barack Obama out of the White House I would have gotten a lot more sleep over the last 16 months!

What really sucks is I took my ACORN walking around money, the free cigarettes and a hit of blow and I STILL didn't vote for Barack Obama who wants to tax everyone who pays Federal Income Taxes and send the money to people who don't.

Barack the Vote

2008-10-26T00:51:00.004-04:00

Okay...Not so much...

What really sucks is I took my ACORN walking around money, the free cigarettes and a hit of blow and I STILL didn't vote for Barack Obama who wants to tax everyone who pays Federal Income Taxes and send the money to people who don't.

McCain - Super Saturday

2008-10-25T07:56:00.001-04:00

Okay. So I thought I would be live blogging our Mini-Super Saturday. Unfortunately we ran behind schedule almost from the start.

I got to Stratham, NH about 9:30 in the morning and met Eric Maurer, Field Director in Rockingham County as well as Let's Get This Right and McCainVictory08.com members Ashley, Ray and Connor. We spent an hour making phone calls and then hit the road to Exeter for some door belling for McCain-Palin, John Sununu and Jeb Bradley.

Ashley and Connor hit the phones.

We picked up info/stickers and fliers from the table at Stratham HQ. Special thanks to Michelle who answered the door in Exeter with "OH THANK GOD! Finally! We've seen nothing but Obama-Biden people!

While I was in Exeter, Sheridan was down in Portsmouth with 20 vets for a sign wave at the launch of the newest Fast Attack Sub, the USS New Hampshire.

We met up in Dover and then headed to Rochester for more GOTV phone calls. About then I got a call from my buddy, NH Radio Talk Show Host Karl Zahn asking "Where the hell are you guys? You are supposed to be here for the sign wave!"

So after a quick Google Map Search we grabbed a bunch of signs from Ann Jolie and headed southwest for about an hour and a half. (I didn't think you could actually drive that long and still be in New Hampshire.) We caught up with Karl and some more LGTR'ers and MV08ers for the sign wave in Milford. Karl had a crew and a half out!

Karl from NH, Brad Marston and Sheridan "The Mad Irishman" Folger

The littlest Zahn was not to be outdone.

On the trip back from Milford to Manchester I decided to change the view a little bit. Before...

...and after.

Then I finished up in Manchester HQ.

Today was a really good day. It was great to see Sheridan, Karl and so many other volunteers. Collectively we made over 500 phone calls, put up over 100 signs and held sign waves seen by thousands of people. You can make a difference in this election. Make that GOTV call! Organize a sign wave.

I must say I was really impressed with the McCain Campaign staff in Manchester. They were all on the phones right along with us. They have so many other things to do and organize but on this one Super Saturday (and I am sure others) they were making it happen for the McCain Campaign.

Sarah Palin - Ready To Lead?

2008-10-22T23:41:00.001-04:00

Cross Posted for Let's Get This Right.

So much has been written about Governor Sarah Palin and her "inexperience." Of course I think it is more the loathing of the left and the Main Stream Media towards a plain spoken, or should I say Straight Talking conservative Republican woman. Obama supporters don't really care about experience (evidenced by the fact that they are Obama supporters). They care about Hope and Change and hating Republicans.

As for the experience argument I share the following.

Question: What is America 's first line of missile
interceptor defense that protects the entire United States ?
Answer: 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard.

Question: What is the ONLY National Guard unit on
permanent active duty?
Answer: 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard

Question: Who is the Commander in Chief of the 49th Missile
Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard?
Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska

Question: What U.S. governor is routinely briefed on
highly classified military issues, homeland security, and
counter terrorism?
Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska

Question: What U.S. governor has a higher classified
security rating than either candidate of the Democrat Party?
Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska

According to the Washington Post, she first met with McCain in February, but nobody ever found out. This is a woman used to keeping secrets. She can be entrusted with our national security, because she already is.

Now you know too, please, pass it on!

Calling all McCain Volunteers

Dear Supporter,

We're holding our final McCain Nation national event day this Saturday, October 25th. If you haven't signed up to host or attend an event on Saturday, please do so today at www.johnmccain.com/mccainnation.

You won't want to miss out on Saturday's event, because all McCain Nation event participants will be able to join John McCain on a conference call at 11am Eastern Time. Senator McCain will give an exclusive campaign update from the road and take caller questions.

Please sign up to host or attend a McCain Nation Super Saturday event at www.johnmccain.com/mccainnation.

McCain Nation's Super Saturday is a way for you to connect with fellow McCain-Palin supporters in your neighborhood or hometown. And this Saturday, we'll ask you to reach out to voters in battleground states on behalf of John McCain and Sarah Palin by making phone calls or going door-to-door.

With only two weeks to go until Election Day, a few hours of your time spent making phone calls or knocking on doors could make the difference in what will be an extremely close election. The conference call in the morning with John McCain will be a great kick-off to your event, so please get started today at www.johnmccain.com/mccainnation.

As a supporter, you are the most effective surrogate we have in the campaign and we need you to get involved and reach out to undecided voters for the McCain-Palin ticket.

As an event host, you will be given detailed call sheets or door-to-door instructions, so you can reach out to undecided voters near you. This is an important event and we need your participation to make it a success.

In addition to reaching out to undecided voters, we need your vote. If you've received your absentee ballot in the mail, remember to bring it to the event to cast your vote early for John McCain and Sarah Palin. If you haven't requested an absentee ballot or need to locate your early vote polling location, please do so on our website, www.johnmccain.com/ab.

Thanks for your support and good luck on Saturday!

Sincerely,
Christian Ferry
Deputy Campaign Manager

P.S. If you'd like to participate in an exclusive conference call with John McCain this Saturday morning at 11am Eastern, please sign up to host or attend a McCain Nation Super Saturday event. We're counting on you to help us continue closing the polling gap to win on November 4th.
