More than the White House

  It is certainly imperative that our country elects a new President in November, but if we want the election to make real positive differences in this nation, there is much more to do. 
  Conservatives need to also take back the US Senate.  It is very much in reach for the GOP to do this.  It would also be wonderful to have a filibuster-proof Senate as well, but I do not think that is going to happen this time around.  I know I am going to get great pleasure voting for someone else than Claire McCaskill, and there are several possible good replacements for her that are running against her.
   This is also more than being about removing Democrats from the Congress.  It is also about getting more conservative people elected.  We need to elect people who are going to do the hard work of getting our nation back on track.  We have way too many establishment politicians in Washington.  It is time to get more there who are committed to Tea Party principles.  We are already "settling" on an establishment Republican to run for the White House.  We cannot be satisfied with that type of approach elsewhere.  We need bold leadership.
   Lastly, it is also crucial to get better leadership in state and local elections.  Great strides were made in 2010, and the beginnings of positive changes have taken place already as a result of that election.  The next election sets the stage for a continuation of this trend. 
   The next election should not be just a vote AGAINST somebody.  We need candidates who we can proudly vote FOR.  Our nation is at risk.  Let's do this.
