Once again our "Patriots" miss the point

Below is the copy of an e-mail I recieved from an organization that has never invited me to speak. Another organization leader mentioning other organizations that don't ask us to speak or return our e-mails to help and continue our current career politician cycle.

I have every reason to believe that every person who has filed for this seat has done so out of love for our country and a sincere interest in giving Missouri a true conservative in Washington. But the truth is that only one person will be elected, and the only possible way to see someone defeat Roy Blunt is for the other candidates to give their combined and enthusiastic support to a single candidate.

Because I believe the experience and voting record of Chuck Purgason makes him the most qualified candidate, and see him as the person with the best chance to win on August 3, I am personally working hard to help him get elected. We have polled the leaders of conservative, Tea Party organizations throughout the state, and of the dozens who responded, more than eighty percent are Purgason supporters. I have personally interviewed many activists and organizers from around the state and found that almost all those I have spoken with are going to work for Purgason. Would you please, seriously consider withdrawing from the campaign, endorse, and join the campaign team for Senator Purgason?

The more names on the ballot, even if someone is not a serious candidate, will only confuse the voters and help to secure a victory for Roy Blunt. We must be realistic. Who has a real chance of defeating Roy Blunt in this primary? Chuck Purgason is the only person, and that will only happen if we can mobilize the conservative voters from around the state. We must work hard, and we have to begin soon. Let’s look at this as more than a possible win for Purgason, or a loss for other candidates like yourself, but as a win for conservatives, as well as a defeat and a clear message to the Republican establishment. Please, for the cause of liberty and victory, help us win this race.

Dear Thomas.
I would like to point out the following for you.
1) I beat both Roy and Chuck in every PUBLIC poll that I am included in from organizations that have allowed me to speak.
2) What message are you trying to send to Washington? The people are upset and here is a different career politician? Ya that should really get them in line.
3) Chuck independently has continued to poll terribly against Blunt and Carnahan.
4) There are people that have donated thousands of dollars to my campaign and expect me to continue. There are associations that have publicly endorsed me based upon my message.
5) Chuck may be a good man but there are other good men running and the consistent message that the 7 other Candidates are continually emphasizing is that Career Politicians are what got us here and Chuck Purgason is also a career politician.

So if you halfway believe in common sense and what you tell your members about the people taking our government back, I would like you to think about this.

Chuck Purgason is not a new message to Washington and just the same thing with a minor message that the people did not support the Republican chosen one. Chuck will not beat Blunt and Blunt will most likely not beat Carnahan.

Support a candidate without a history, favors owed, and not obviously looking for a promotion. That is why our founding fathers did not include prerequisites in our constitution for times just like this. Are you going to continue the cycle or send a Missourian to the White House that does not know the game or care about it, one that is not looking for re-election and just wants to speak for the people of our state no matter how unpopular? Have you been fair to your members and asked the other candidates to speak to them or are you just jumping on an experienced promises bandwagon?

No sir I am not going to withdraw and I am confident that a couple of the others will not either. I am also very confident that any of the others that may withdraw would NOT throw their support to Chuck.

If you want to make a difference then I suggest that you and the tea parties start practicing what you preach and ask Chuck to withdraw and support one of us, a real message that Missouri will not stand for the status quo anymore.
