President of the United States
I would like to ask you all for your support of Kansas Senator Sam Brownback for President. His is a full scale conservative; he is a social conservative and an economic conservative. His record speaks for itself and proves that you can trust him to uphold and promote our conservative values. As Sam likes to say, our party is based not on personalities but principles. Sam is pro-life and pro-family and wants to rebuild our culture. He is for victory in the war on terror and favors a three-state plan in Iraq. He wants to bring our country together on the issue becuase he realizes that we cannot win this war with the American people so divided on the issue. Sam wants to secure our borders and is strongly opposed to amnesty. He supports workplace enforcement as a way to protect our workers from those here illegally. He has an A rating from the NRA and is a strong protector of the 2nd Amendment. He supports an optional Flat Tax and just unveiled his new plan last week in Des Moines.
Sam is a man of his word who lives out his values every day. He is pro-life and whole life; he has adopted two children and has spent a night in prison to promote prison reform. He has encouraged and called for action to end the genocide in Darfur. He works to protect the elderly and the sick from discrimination.
Stand with Sam in '08 and make your voice heard.

Not a Full-Scale Conservative
Senator Brownback is a good man. Few politicians focus on humanitarian issues like Brownback, and for that he deserves credit. Our country also owes him a debt of gratitude for stopping the Miers nomination.
Having said that, I contributed to his campaign at the end of last year and have since been sorely disappointed. He voted for the immigration bill before he voted against it. He attacked someone with a rock-solid pro-life voting record for taking money from a pro-choicer who obviously had not changed the Congressman's position. And now he is going way too far with regard to censorship.
Perhaps more importantly, Brownback's campaign is going nowhere. Huckabee is splitting social conservatives with him, and Paul is beating him in the fundraising department - handily. Money spent on his Presidential campaign is money not going toward winning in 2008.
Come back in two years when he's facing reelection for Senate, possibly against Gov. Sebelius, and I think you'll find plenty of support. Now, though, is the time to focus on more competitive candidates.
