III: Message to Congress

There is no national candidate who advocates III or Hard Right principles on every issue.

Even Ron Paul fails on 2A issues, unless we grade on a curve.  When given the chance (twice) to advocate for Repeal of all bans and measures that restrict law-abiding citizens from owning legally-obtained firearms  on a 2008 questionnaire, Paul opted in both cases for the more PC answer.

The point is not that we should bash Ron Paul.  Instead, we must understand that on the political field of battle we will have to select the least evil candidate.  All things considered, we could do much worse than Ron Paul in the Oval Office...and we will probably do exactly that.

One thing I hope to accomplish when we send our book to Members of Congress is to give Congressman Paul and maybe a few others the room to move Right on their 2A positions. 

What I would prefer is that we find at least one III candidate among us who will step forward and run for the House.  Just one, with the courage to advocate our principles, without PC positions designed to appeal to the broadest base. 

If you are out there, even if you live in a District that is guaranteed to go Blue, I hope you will step forward and accept the burden to run on the III Platform.  You'll be eaten alive by the press and the Establishment.  They will come at you from everywhere, with every weapon they can find.  You'll lose and you will have to run your entire campaign on a shoestring budget, because aside from the folks who visit our few III blogs, you won't get many donations.

It won't be pretty.

But it would be awfully damned patriotic.
