Hi Folks, this is Retired Fire Captain Matt Bruce...
I want to tell you why I'm supporting Congressman Vern Buchanan...
The First Term FL Congressman hit the ground in Washington, DC 'running' and delivered on what he had told the Veterans, Business People, my Brother & Sister Fire Fighters and his Constituents. Vern Buchanan did what he said he would do for 'us'...
Once in a while somebody comes along who is just genuinely interested in helping people and that's exactly what Congressman Vern Buchanan has done and will continue doing for all of us...
Being a Republican, Vern has managed to do what's best for all of us, Democrat, Independent or Republican...
He listens to the people of the FL 13 District and then he acts. This is the true mark of a true leader, and that's why I'm honored to be supporting Congressman Vern Buchanan in his 2008 reelection bid for Congress...
Vern deserves our confidence and our vote because he has delivered on what he promised to do...
He's a fighter for people like you and me and will continue to represent all of us well in Washington, DC...
That's why I am supporting Congressman Vern Buchanan...
Thanks,
'Matt'

There is always a segment that views any effort that moves against the tide as idiotic, lacking in common sense, failing to understand the risks, and other reasons to demean the initiative without researching or considering objective analysis.
Patriots Revolt is sounding the alarm that America is in jeopardy. This movement is gaining momentum thus Patriots Revolt is taking a share of criticsm, most of which is knee jerk reactions; false, vile,immature name calling; childish jealousy, fear that what we're about will gore a sacred ox, and other miscellaneous negatives of little consequence.
There is however, one major recurring observation that is troubling, not only to Patriots Revolt but is a direct threat to long term stability of our nation. The recurring observation is "fear" of departing from the two major political party addiction to vote for a candidate of another party.
This fear has/is causing America to lose faith that their neighbor no longer holds principle embedded in our Constituion and our spiritual underpinning, as the bedrock that guides our decison process in selecting leaders. Do we measure our basic voting instincts based on the principles in our Constitution, Bill of Rights, Federalist Paper guidance or do we simply submit to the political process which is now guided by "relativism" and accept our fate?
Another side of "fear" is the attitude of defeat...nothing can be done about the monster political apparatus, we have become brain-washed as "psychological slaves"...of the people, by the people, for the people is just a slogan written by some people 232 years ago that sounds nice. This attitude leaves America ripe for picking by selfish, ego centric, power hungry, and dishonest politicians who are a large part of the political system in America today. There is ample evidence of this activity in all branches of government...we hear and read about it nearly daily.
There is only one way to change the downward moral spiral of America...the people must do a heart examination and compare what we want for America with what is proposed by Keyes, Barr, Baldwin, McCain, and Obama to name a few. How many use the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Federalist Papers as their principle guidance and how many use emotion, relativism, promises they won't and most cases can't keep, in short tell you what you want to hear? Click here to take a look at McCain reversals/flip-flops...how can he be trusted to do anything he says?
Once our heart speaks, then courage must kick in to do the right thing and trust all Americans to do the same...principle will always guide our nation to continued greatness.
If we want to see this happen it is critical that we get out and post in every guestbook on the web possible...ensure you leave our web site www.patriotsrevolt.com which will help with the search engines and get attention.
There is plenty of time for a grass roots movement to surge through the Internet and cause the miracle selection of Alan Keyes as President...his heart, mind, and soul is guided by the Founding Fathers wisdom.
God continue to bless America...may we be courageous enough to fight for her.
English should be the official language of government. (87 to 11)
The option of a single rate system should give taxpayers the convenience of filing their taxes with just a single sheet of paper. (82 to 15)
Every worker should continue to have the right to a federally supervised secret ballot election when deciding whether to organize a union. (79 to 12)
Keeping the reference to “One Nation Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance is very important. (88 to 11)
We favor the option of a single employer tax rate of 17% that would lower taxes for some businesses that pay up to 38%, while also closing loopholes that some corporations use to pay less in taxes. (74 to 22)
Congress should make it a crime to advocate acts of terrorism or violent conduct or the killing of innocent people in the United States. (83 to 12)
We should dramatically increase our investment in math and science education. (91 to 8)
The United States should only grant citizenship to those who want to embrace American values and culture. (68 to 29)
Illegal immigrants who commit felonies should be deported. (88 to 10)
We support giving a large financial prize to the first company or individual who invents a new, safer way to dispose of nuclear waste products. (79 to 16)
I am hearing more and more from my listeners and readers the phrase, "vote the bums out!"...
The voices I'm hearing are right about people being 'fed up' with the same old 'business as usual' attitude in Washington, DC and our State Capitols...
The fastest growing voting sector across America is now the Independent voter, or 'I', for short...
Perhaps the time has come for an 'Independent Party' to be formed where we 'the voter' can show the Country there must be changes made for the good of the people and not the politicians or we'll vote them out and start over???
We also need to get off our dependency on OPEC and their Foreign oil which is in control of our nation's economy!
The Arabs and OPEC can defeat us financially without even firing a shot by manipulating the price of Crude Oil...
The time is way past overdue to tell OPEC to 'Go Eat SAND!'...
How many politicians have come out in favor of such a proposal and how close are we to building more Refineries for Bio Diesel and Ethanol made from American Farm by products???
There's a reason for all of this and why our politicians have failed to notice. They are 'in bed' with Big Oil and their $money$...
The fact of the matter is Oil Speculators control the price of Oil and many of these 'Speculators' come not just from the OPEC Countries, but our own as well...
Why not tell the American people 'who' these Oil speculators are that reside inside our Borders? We already know that FINA and Deutschbank are the 2 largest Oil speculation Companies...
We need leaders in our State and National Capitols that are willing to do whatever it takes to bring America back to being the most respected Nation on Earth...
After all, just look at the millions across the Globe still trying to get into our Country either legally or illegally. They know how good it is here compared to where they're coming from...
The politicians days who are not listening to the people are numbered as we close in on our next National election in 2008...
Don't be surprised at what you see after the dust has settled in our next National Election in 2008...
Keep up the good work all of you are doing for America, Country & God by supporting our brave Military men and women serving us in the Global War on Terror...
May God continue to bless the United States of America...

Once upon a time there was a little red hen that scratched about and found some grains of wheat.She called her barnyard neighbors together and said, “If we work together and plant this wheat, we can have some fine bread to eat.Who will help me plant the wheat?”
“Not I,” said the cow.“Not I,” said the duck.“Not I,” said the goose.“Then I will,” she said, and she did.
The wheat started growing, the ground dried, but there was no rain.“Who will help water the wheat?” she asked.“Not I,’ said the cow.“Not I,” said the duck.“Not I,” said the pig.“Equal rights,”said the goose.“Then I will,” said the little red hen, and she did.
The wheat grew tall and ripened into golden grain.“Who will help me reap the wheat?” said the little red hen.“Not I,” said the cow.“Not I,” said the duck.“Out of my classification,” said the pig.“I’d lose my ADC,” said the goose.“Then I will,” said the little red hen, and she did.
When it came time to grind the wheat into flour, she invited others to help.“Not I”, said the cow.“I’d lose my unemployment comp,” said the duck.”
When it came time to bake the bread, “That’s overtime for me, “said the cow.“I’m a dropout, and I never learned how,” said the duck.“I’d lose my welfare benefits,” said the pig.“If I’m the only one helping, that’s discrimination.” said the goose.“Then I will,” said the little red hen, and she did.
She baked five loaves of fine bread and held them up for her neighbors to see.“I want some,” said the cow.“I want some,” said the duck.“I want some,” said the pig.“I demand my share,” said the goose.“At last I can rest for a little while and enjoy my bread,” said the little red hen.
“Selfish bigot,” bellowed the cow.“Capitalist leach,” squawked the duck.“Company fink,” grunted the pig.“Equal rights,” screamed the goose.And they made picket signs and marched around the little red hen singing, “We shall overcome,” And they did!The mean spirited little red hen looked lost.
When the farmer came to investigate and audit, he said, “You must not be greedy, little red hen.Look at the oppressed cow.Look at the disadvantaged duck.Look at the underprivileged pig.Look at the less fortunate goose.You are guilty of making them second-class citizens.”
“But I earned the bread,” she protested to the mighty farmer. “That is the wonderful free enterprise system,” he said.“Anybody can earn as much as he wants. You should be happy to have this freedom. In other barnyards, you would have to give all five loaves to the farmer. Here you give four loaves to your suffering neighbors who have so many problems.”They all lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who smiled and clucked, “I am grateful.”But they all wondered why she never baked bread anymore.

The REAL Political Heroes...
*Politics - Key Veterans Issues*...
John O'Neill Swift Boat Veteran
As you know, I helped start the 'Swift Boat Veterans for Truth' during the 2004 election for one reason...I knew from three decades of personal experience that John Kerry was a liar and a fraud who had betrayed the men he served with.
And there was no way I was going sit idly by as John Kerry tried to become our "Commander-in-Chief".
Today I am working on a similar mission...
A mission to stop the most dangerous liberal in America from winning election to the U.S. Senate.
It's a threat that rises to the same level of danger as the idea of John Kerry as President.
This new threat I'm talking about is far left Congressman Bernie Sanders.
Sanders is as radical as they come.
He's much more liberal than even Ted Kennedy or Hillary Clinton.
In fact, he's so far to the Left that he calls himself an "independent" because he thinks Democrats are "too conservative."
His record in the House of Representative - particularly on defense matters - is disgraceful.
He introduced four separate amendments to slash crucial defense and intelligence spending even deeper than Bill Clinton ever proposed.
He's consistently fought President Bush on issues of national security - most specifically he voted against the use of force to oust Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein
And even though we are in the middle of a global war on terror, Bernie Sanders proudly says he's "leading the charge against the Bush Administration."
And that's just the national security issues.
Sanders is even worse on social and budget issues.
He's constantly voting to undermine America's traditional values and, to raise your taxes, and to spend millions on wasteful government programs.
Thankfully, because of the Republican control of the House, Sanders' ability to do much damage has been limited up until now.
But that's all about to change.
Because now Bernie Sanders is running for the Senate.
And with the unique rules of the Senate...
...where all it takes is one maverick Senator to really gum up the works, Sanders is about to turn into a dangerous liberal wrecking crew.
Just like it was critical for us to stop John Kerry, it's now just as important that we stop Bernie Sanders from reaching the Senate.
The Republican candidate running against Sanders is Lt. Col. Greg Parke, USAF (Ret.).
Greg is a good friend of mine, and he will make an excellent U.S. Senator. Let me tell you a little about him.
Greg loyally and bravely served our country through his 22 years in the United States Air Force as a front-line fighter pilot, flying the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
What's more, Greg spent four years serving as a commander and diplomat in the Middle East -- giving him valuable firsthand knowledge on how to win the War on Terro;
Like you and I, he believes:
America should be strong, safe, and secure!
America's traditional values should be upheld!
Taxes should be lower!
Government should be smaller and more efficient!
In this vital battle to stop Bernie Sanders, Greg has my strongest possible endorsement;
Because Bernie Sanders is treated like a "hero" by liberal Hollywood elites and just about every left-wing radical special interest group they are all pouring money into his campaign.
In fact, the radical far left group Moveon.org raised more than $100,000 for Sanders in just one weekend.
This liberal support has given Sanders a massive campaign war chest and a distinct advantage in this race.;
That's why Greg needs your immediate help today. We must act now to level the playing field!
My friend, if he's going to beat Sanders, Greg must have the support of conservatives from coast to coast.
And while every contribution matters, Greg's also going to need some really generous individuals who care about the future of our country to come forward with contributions of $500, $1,000, or $2,000.
Because by supporting Greg you have the chance to have a huge impact on the future of America.
The stone cold reality is this: If we can't raise Greg enough money Bernie Sanders is going to win this race and take a seat in the United States Senate.
But just like I knew I had to act when John Kerry was running for President, now we all must act to stop Bernie Sanders.
Make no mistake: Stopping Bernie Sanders is just as important for the future of America as defeating John Kerry was!
The Swift Vets were blessed to have the support of thousands of patriotic Americans like you.
P.S. Defeating Bernie Sanders is just as important as defeating John Kerry was. Please join with me today to provide crucial financial support to Greg Parke's campaign for the U.S. Senate
See that Bright Light emerging from the Eastern sky??? That's John Kerry's 'career dissipation light' burning UP... Those 3+ MILLION Votes President Bush WON by in the 'Popular Vote' in 2004, came from Vietnam Veterans, their friends and families, & Patriots everywhere across America... We have waited over 30 years for THIS moment and our time HAS come full circle...*Welcome HOME*... Matt Bruce, Brothers Of The Nam, Vietnam '67 & '68 ...

Change US Flag Code to allow prominence of religious flags...
By Chuck Pardee
To most of us the marriage of God and country is as American as apple pie - but there is also a major battle brewing. Many houses of worship are facing the problem an intrusion into the sanctuary traditionally reserved for God. The intrusion is coming as patriotism in the form of our country's flag.
The American flag moved into houses of worship during the World Wars and was quietly slipped out the back door during Vietnam. Since 9/11, the flag has moved back into many houses of worship. It seems that our flag is blowing in the wind of political correctness.
Is this same acceptance of political correctness allowing one God's most basic laws to be overlooked in favor of the US Flag Code by many houses of worship? Is the flag of our country becoming an object of idolatry when it is given the position of "superior prominence" above the very symbols of our faith?
Indivisible with liberty and justice for all...
In our haste to promote patriotism are we ignoring and degrading God who gave our country the rights of life? Is this an isolated problem, or does it reflect the larger problem of many people in our country turning their backs on God and the values of faith and family?
Did you know the US Flag Code allows a Christian or Jewish pennant to be displayed over the American flag on US Navy ships during religious services? Why does the same US Flag Code NOT show the same respect for faith in your own place of worship?
The current US Flag Code says: "When displayed from a staff in a church or public auditorium, the flag of the United States of America should hold the position of superior prominence, in advance of the audience, and in the position of honor at the clergyman's or speaker's right as he faces the audience. Any other flag so displayed should be placed on the left of the clergyman or speaker or to the right of the audience."
If your place of worship wishes to display the flag of our country it should not be on the terms of the current US Flag Code which requires the American flag assume a position of superior prominence over the flag of your faith in your own place of worship!
This issue is basic: Should government require a symbol of our country be placed above a symbol of our faith? The Constitution allows for freedom of ALL religious expression, not that government is in a position of superior prominence over religion. To fly the flag of our faith over the flag of our country acknowledges that the real strength of the American people comes from God.
To change one of the Ten Commandments given to Moses by God is not a real option, so we will ask Congress to change the US Flag Code. The bill will basically amend title 4, United States Code, to allow religious flags to be displayed in a place of superior prominence to the flag of the United States at or in a place of worship.
The symbolism of God over our Country will be realized every time you pass a house of worship and see what high honor the people of the United States give to the concept of religious expression. The people of the world will know the real strength of our country comes from heaven above when we put God's Standard first.
Please contact God's Standard First, your Member of Congress & your place of worship to support this issue. May God Bless...
