Go Todd!!

Newspaper gleanings.....

Akin and McCaskill have different ideas on how the nation should be run.
No two people are more different than Claire McCaskill and Akin." He voted 30 times to repeal Obamacare,and if McCaskill had not voted for Obamacare, we would not have Obamacare today. McCaskill is attempting to paint herself as being a "moderate Senator." Why? Missouri is conservative.Akin has an A rating from the National Right to Life organization, McCaskill's rating was an F from the same group.Akin is Pro-Life and Claire McCaskill is the opposite.
The record speaks for itself.

McCaskill and Money

                                              

Friend, It took 227 years for our country to accumulate its first $7 trillion in debt. It took Claire McCaskill less than 6 years to help ring up $7 trillion more. We’ve spent the past week being attacked by the DC Party Bosses, with some going so far as spending money to try and hurt our campaign. Meanwhile, Claire McCaskill, the $7 Trillion Senator, is flooding Missouri airwaves with negative ads that distort my own record, and don’t tell the whole story about her own. Let’s put the $7 Trillion in new debt under McCaskill in perspective: The total economic power of Missouri would have to be completely donated to the federal government for 27.5 years to pay for the debt she has rung up. $6.9 trillion is equivalent to every citizen in Missouri being $1.1 million in debt. Every Missouri citizen would have to give every dollar of their personal income (pre-tax) to the federal government for the next 30 years to pay $6.9 trillion in debt. Its $22,000 in new debt for every man, woman and child in America in less than 6 years. There are just under 7 billion people in the world. $6.9 trillion would mean every person in the whole world paying $1,000. It is beyond irresponsible to saddle future generations with today’s spending – it’s downright unpatriotic. Sincerely, Todd

WERE DONE!

Friend,

Party boss and Washington insider John Cornyn today had two words for Todd Akin, and Missouri: “We’re done.”

Rather than swallowing their pride and admitting they were wrong to not help Todd Akin, Party Bosses are doubling down.

Mike Huckabee, on the other hand, had this to say about the Washington Party Bosses:

“They will turn their backs on Akin out of their arrogant pride because just as they were wrong about Rand Paul and Marco Rubio, they are being shown they are wrong on Akin? We need to rally every pro-life, pro-family, faith-based voter in America and tell them that the party obviously doesn't need them, but Akin does. If the party doesn't want us, then it's good to get that cleared up. I'll direct my time, money, and efforts toward candidates who will take a stand, and when they get elected, they won't be obligated to party bosses, but to God and their conscience.”

Today, we are starting our most ambitious fundraising goal yet: $70,000 raised by Saturday midnight to defeat the “$7 Trillion Dollar Senator” Claire McCaskill.

We need all hands on deck. Todd needs you now. Mike Huckabee needs you now, and like Governor Huckabee said – the Washington insiders and Party Bosses were wrong about Rubio, wrong about Rand Paul, and they’re just as wrong about Todd Akin.

If the Party Bosses are done with Missouri, then guess what? We are DONE with the Washington establishment!

Our Moneybomb begins today. $70,000 by midnight Saturday.

Will you stand with Todd Akin? Or will you let the Washington Party Bosses and Claire McCaskill win?

Todd Akin for US Senate

Akin Statement on August Jobs Report St. Louis, MO: This morning Congressman Todd Akin (R-MO) released the following statement regarding the August jobs report which showed that unemployment remains at 8.1% after almost four years of the failed economic policies of Barack Obama and Claire McCaskill: "Americans continue to suffer economic hardship because of this administration's maniacal quest to return to the failed policies of the past that trap too many Americans in poverty. This morning the verdict is in: Americans are simply worse off today than they were four years ago. "Claire McCaskill and Barack Obama have been making empty promises for nearly four years now and this morning's job numbers only confirm how empty their promises are. McCaskill and Obama promised that their stimulus bill would get the economy going again to create jobs, but instead unemployment has remained above 8% for the forty-third month in a row. Instead of creating jobs, the failed stimulus bill which McCaskill voted for and I voted against, has saddled our children and grandchildren with another $800 billion in debt bringing the nation's total debt obligation to over $16 trillion dollars. "McCaskill and Obama continue to lead this country in the wrong direction. Their policies have driven up our national debt by 50%, the poverty rate up 10% and have left twenty-three million Americans across our country unemployed and underemployed. This election is not about fancy words and empty promises, this election is about the failed record of McCaskill and Obama. The unemployed and underemployed citizens of Missouri cannot afford another term of Claire McCaskill's failed economic policies."

Party Bosses and other Tyrants...

  Ok you already know what is going on in Fl at the convention right? I could barely sleep for wondering how it was all going to 'pan' out and prayed with fervency.
  Here is what bothers me the most though...since the time of the War of Northern Aggression...when a 'party' wins by CHEATING, is that REALLY  winning? Can you walk away with your head held high and feel like you have ability, strategy and superior capability, when you got your prize by being a
CHEATER??? Cheating; this is what we teach our children NOT to do. Why? Because it is wrong, It is essentially stealing. You are taking something that isn't rightly yours, nor earned by you.
  Can you really swallow that fact that a bus, on the way to the convention got LOST...just so happens there were 'voters' on that bus. How do these cheaters sleep at night? I guess as long as their 'ends justifies the means'...oh yes, but we are not to live that way.
  We are called to be holy, honest, upright, above reproach, not slanderers...the list goes on. Well , there is only one solution that I can think of;
  When our children, lie cheat and steal like the party bosses are doing; DON'T let them get away with it!
  However, since our counterparts are teaching their children TO lie cheat and steal and that it is ok, we need to teach our children more;
  Teach them to pray, ask for the Lords favor. Teach them to live above reproach so that the Lord will bless them. Then, at the end of the day when 'the bad guys win'...teach them that God is Sovereign over the events of men. God is faithful to preserve us in this crooked generation....

Todd Akin, Todd Akin, Todd Akin

Friend, The party bosses are at it again. This time, Reince Priebus, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, came out and said that even if Todd were tied with Claire McCaskill, “we’re not going to send him a penny.” Can you believe this? This is a clear example of putting party power and political games ahead of the good of the country. Luckily, there are many leaders in the Republican party who are speaking out against the party bosses and their attacks on Todd. Click here to watch what Mike Huckabee had to say over this past week: If the party bosses aren’t going to give us a penny to defeat Claire McCaskill, then YOUR support is even more important. Will you help Todd win in November? We need YOU to chip in now and show the party bosses that this isn’t their race, but yours, and you’ve chosen to WIN. Click here to donate now and ensure that Claire McCaskill doesn’t get reelected. Sincerely, Perry Akin Campaign Manager P.S. Don’t forget to chip in $5 now to help Todd fight Claire and help take back the U.S. Senate! Paid for by Todd Akin for Senate Unsubscribe

In Case you missed it...

  I gotta say it. I believe it is very important for folks to know this....
Todd Akin, though he has been IN politics for many years, we who know and support Todd, and those who "DO NOT" support Todd,  agree on this one thing;
                                               Todd is NO Politician
  Through all of his years as a representative and a congressman, in MO and Washington, he has never compromised. He is no 'insider'. He is first of all a man of God, and call him what you will....you cannot call him a politician.

Todd Akin vs McCaskill-the truth

Todd Akin for US Senate....

So, likely you have read the hoopla. If you have read this blog for any length of time, you have read a 'supporters' view. So now you get the opportunity for some dialog ....
What are your thoughts about congressman
Todd Akin?
What questions do you have about this candidate for US Senate?

What are you????

  Real life events have the effect of sifting out what we say we believe, as opposed to what we truly believe in our heart.
  The Republican platform for over 30 years has been 'pro-life' and anti abortion. The unborn, are recognized as people with human rights as defined in Article 7. So what is the problem, and all of the hoopla about in regards to Todd Akin?
  Well, the Lord is just doing some sifting among His people I think. A lot of Republicans just realized that they aren't really 'anti' abortion after all.
  Are you pro life or NOT? Regardless of how, you, or your child or your neighbor came into being, they are still a valuable life. A life granted to you by our Creator. Your value is not determined on HOW you came into being. You re value is that you are one. Period.
  It is very disappointing to me to see how 'addicted' our society is on media. It is like entertainment though most of it is full of death and horror and despair.
  When Todd Akin began to be attacked for his statement, most people had not even seen nor heard what his actual comments were before they judged him. Many said 'so, what did he say wrong?" There was, granted, some who heard and really did get offended, but they had already been biased by the media. We need to be wise as serpents in this perverse generation and not depend on secular media to determine our thought processes.
  And, politically speaking, the Republican party made a VERY BIG  MISTAKE, by not supporting their own. This is something that I for see them repenting of in the next few days.
  Do politicians REALLY want to go down this road....the road where any little misinterpretation of what you say could cause you to have to step down? For mercy sake, our last president was overtly immoral and people still follow him around with adulation! Or how about the current president? He is clear about his anti American sentiments, yet no one can find anything wrong with what he says? Are you serious? Also, the man who created Obamacare actually said in an interview the other day; 'I don't think politicians should make health care decisions'. Really? Well obamacare is coming to a town near you folks and if you think it will work in your favor than you are clearly in the dark about the facts of socialized medicine. Ask anyone living in Canada. So where is the uproar of that deliberate lie from the current Pres?
  Oh that the Lord would grant us to be wise in this perverse generation. I cant repeat it enough.
  Practically speaking, this Senate seat that is up for grabs here in MO is a VERY pivotal one. It will determine, for one, the direction that our state is going 'liberal or conservative' , 'pro freedom or pro bondage to big govt'  CONSERVATIVE or LIBERAL. So where do you stand? And this not only affects the state of MO. Especially now.
  By the grace of God, pro life advocates all over the country are stepping up to support Todd, support freedom, and support life. It is no easy job that Todd is going after. He is standing in the gap for all who love life and freedom. Please stand with us and pray for and support and promote Todd whenever the Lord provides you opportunity to do so.
  The battle is about good/evil. May the GOOD win this one,  Sola Gratia~

TODD AKIN

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 21, 2012 Contact: Chris Brown President Missouri Republican Assembly (314)346-5816 c.brown@sbcglobal.net PRESS RELEASE: Missouri Republican Assembly leadership Continues its support for Congressman Todd Akin. Missouri Republican Assembly Leadership August 21st 2012 supports Congressman Todd Akin's unwavering belief in the sanctity of life while compassionately showing support for the victims of sexual assault and staunchly takes offense at President Obama's stand that forcible rape is equivalent to statutory rape. Congressman Akin used the phrase "legitimate rape" in the sense of an actual, "forcible rape" as opposed to a claimed rape after consensual sex. He did not mean to imply that there is anything "legitimate" about some rapes compared to others or intend to be insensitive about the trauma that is experienced by women in a rape situation. We've all chosen a word with more than one meaning before and we censure those Republicans who refuse to call Bidden to task for his statements and yet throw one of our own under the bus by joining with Democrats in this misleading attack with ulterior motives. We call on all Republicans to accept the Congressman's heartfelt and contrite apology offered by an honorable man. After all, Claire McCaskill supports partial-birth abortion and the Democrat platform contains a pro-abortion plank. Congressman Akin's comment on the rarity of pregnancy following rape was initiated by, "... From what I understand from Doctors." Whether or not this is true (and it probably is as indicated by well documented studies) is immaterial, as the Congressman was relating that which the experts had told him. And the Congressman should be commended for standing by his convictions and being better informed than the general public or liberal media. The real issue is that if you believe that life begins at conception and you have taken an oath to defend life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, then you have to keep your focus on protecting all innocent life or risk multiplying one tragic situation into three. (Two for the mother and one for the baby.) The MRA commends Todd Akin for publicly stating that the child should not be punished for the sins of the father. That we are all endowed by our creator with Liberty and the pursuit of happiness has little meaning when deprived of life. The Republican leadership needs to grow a spine and disallow the Democrats, who always support their candidates even when they are wrong, to dictate our stance. By so doing we are now agreeing with the President that forcible rape and statutory rape are identical. While Todd may have been indiscreet in his word choice, he was not wrong in his facts. Todd can win despite this misstep. All Republicans will lose if they continue throwing their candidates under the bus because of a poor word choice. This is the first out, of the first inning in a long three months with many Democrat directed issues ahead. Issues and battles ahead which will be filled with lies and deception, for such are the tactics of our opponents. If we are unable to stand strong for our values it will be the Republican leadership that allows American expceptionalism to become a footnote in history. ### Released under the authority of the Missouri Republican Assembly.

Todd Akin for U.S Senate



Some of the Akin team.

What a great time we had at the parade in Marshfield on the 4th of July! It was such a pleasure for me to meet Mr. Akin in person! Brett and the girls had already done so of course, being on his team and having gone to the state convention earlier this year.

All of the Akin team were full of energy and passing out popsicles, gum and best of all the 'Conservative fighter jets', as Brett dubbed them! They are the coolest paper airplanes you have ever seen and I have never seen one fly better! If you would like one, leave us a comment and let us know!


This Marshfield parade was only one of several parades going on in the state. Of course this was the funnest because Todd was there! It was so exciting to see him repeatedly stop in front of  crowds and say "Hi there, my name is Todd Akin and I'm running for US Senate against Claire McCaskill"...the crowd would cheer and hoot and clap when he said that! So many people came up to him and shook his hand and said 'Thank you sir!! So I believe it is safe to say that he has a LOT of support in these here parts!
