Concerned Patriot,
I’m writing to you because...
I have an urgent request. Won’t you please send Ben Carson a message today?
As
you know, Dr. Ben Carson is the man who spoke boldly to President
Obama at the National Prayer Breakfast last February, telling him and
the nation that Obamacare is an unworkable, dangerous scheme that will
hurt all Americans.
Now we know that Dr. Carson was right.
So, won’t you please send a message directly to Dr. Carson, telling him that he should run for President in 2016?
Five reasons why Dr. Carson is our best choice for 2016...
- He is the only candidate that makes it mathematically impossible for Hillary Clinton to win!
- He is the only candidate who, like Ronald Reagan, can explain the fallacy of liberal schemes in terms the average American can understand.
- He is the only candidate who can heal and unite America.
- He is the only candidate who is a citizen statesman, the type of candidate who our Founders envisioned would lead our nation.
- He is the one candidate who you can trust to stick to his conservative values, and to govern according to the United States Constitution.
Reason #1: Ben Carson is sure to win!
If
a Republican candidate for President receives just 17% of the black
vote, Hillary Clinton loses every single swing state. Did you know that
in 2012 Presidential candidate Herman Cain was polling more than 40% of
the black vote? Herman Cain was liked by the black community, but Dr.
Ben Carson is a revered figure in the African American community.
Dr. Carson is an icon in the African American community.
If
businessman Herman Cain could receive 40% of the black vote, Dr.
Benjamin Carson would likely receive far greater support from African
Americans.
But,
if he only receives 17% of the black vote, it becomes mathematically
impossible for Hillary Clinton or any Democrat to win the White House
in 2016.
Reason #2: Ben Carson has the communication skills of Ronald Reagan!
The
Republican Party has lots of great conservatives, several of whom, in
my opinion, would make a great President. They are very good people.
However,
not one of these prospective candidates has the wit, wisdom, and
persuasive eloquence of Ronald Reagan that Dr. Ben Carson possesses.
It
was Ronald Reagan’s power to persuade that made it possible for him to
win two landslide elections to the White House. He had the amazing
ability to take a complex issue and explain it in simple, commonsense
terms that the average voter could understand.
Dr.
Carson is blessed with those same skills. In fact, he is the first
candidate since Ronald Reagan who has the necessary communication
skills to be elected President of the United States.
There is just no one else on the scene comparable to Dr.Carson.
Reason #3: Dr. Carson is the only candidate who can heal our nation.
Sadly,
for the first time in American history, the President of the United
States has not tried to unify our nation, instead he has made every
effort to divide our nation by setting one group against another.
Barack
Obama has encouraged racial strife. He has encouraged the poor to hate
the successful. He has worked to create anger against men by women. He
has set workers against employers. He has worked to set the young
against the old. In every way possible, following the dictates of his
radical idol, Saul Alinsky, he has gone about dividing Americans and
creating disunity.
In fact, America is more divided today than it has been since the Civil War.
President Ben Carson will bring our nation together. He will work to heal our wounds, and bring about reconciliation.
As a Christian, Dr. Carson rejects envy and jealously as twin evils.
As
an African American and a leader, and one who is respected in the
black community, he will bring healing and reconciliation to our land.
Ben
Carson has been a healer his entire life. He will seek solutions to
America’s most pressing problems, and he will do it in a way that
unifies and heals, not divides and creates disunity.
Reason #4: Ben Carson is a citizen statesman, not a politician.
It
was politicians, both Democrat and Republican, that created the
current mess we are in. We don’t need another politician, we need a
citizen statesman.
Ronald
Reagan was disdained as an actor when he ran for Governor of
California. They said he didn’t have the skill or experience needed to
run what was the 7th largest government in the world. But, relying on
commonsense and Godly wisdom, Ronald Reagan turned California around
and then saved the United States from economic collapse.
The
last non-politician that was elected President of the United States
was Dwight Eisenhower, who united our nation and faced down the Soviet
Union. And, by the way, Eisenhower received 39% of the African American
vote.
Dr.
Carson is a man of great intellect, great courage, and vast
commonsense. The one book he reads every day is the Book of Proverbs
where he soaks in Godly wisdom.
Ben
Carson has far more life experience than Barack Obama had when he was
elected President as a newly minted, junior Senator from Illinois.
But,
far more important, we need less Washington, D.C., political
experience and more real world experience, Godly wisdom, and
commonsense in our next President if America is to survive.
Reason #5: Ben Carson is a trustworthy conservative.
He
proved that he would not compromise his values when he courageously
spoke directly to President Barack Obama about the danger of Obamacare
at the National Prayer Breakfast. Ben Carson also didn’t mince any words
about the President’s wrongheaded redistribution of income policies
when he said...
“When
I pick up my Bible, you know what I see? I see the fairest individual
in the Universe, God, and he's given us a system. It's called tithe.
Now we don't necessarily have to [make] it 10%, but it's [the]
principle. He didn't say, if your crops fail, don't give me any tithes.
He didn't say, if you have a bumper crop, give me triple tithes. So
there must be something inherently fair about proportionality.”
Any
American can understand exactly what Dr. Carson was talking about. How
could Hillary Clinton possibly respond to such clarity and wisdom?
Ben Carson is the kind of candidate we must have if we are going to elect a solid conservative to the White House in 2016.
And,
if you have any doubts whatsoever about Dr. Carson’s conservative
values, just look at this brief list of where he stands on today’s
important issues...
-
National Debt. Cut government spending by 10% each
year, across the board, until the budget is balanced! That’s what you
and I do when things are tight, and it’s what the government must do.
-
Obamacare. Repeal it! Replace it with a free market
health savings account program that begins at birth and that is owned
by each citizen.
-
Taxes. Follow the Biblical example and make it flat and make sure that everyone has skin in the game. Everyone pays.
-
Abortion. End it now! It is barbaric, and it is not
protected by the Constitution. It contributes to a growing culture of
death in our society.
-
Illegal Immigration. Listen to the American people, secure our borders. End it.
-
Redistribution of Income. Stop it. It’s un-American and it causes universal misery as socialism always does.
-
Welfare. It not only encourages self-destructive
behavior, it is a trap that dehumanizes those caught in it. Replace it
with a truly compassionate, approach that works through churches and
other nonprofit groups, enabling those on welfare to share in the
American dream.
-
Judges. Appoint judges committed to the U.S. Constitution.
-
Political Correctness. It is dangerous. It hinders progress and divides our nation. It keeps us from solving problems and healing America.
-
Right to Keep & Bear Arms. It’s a vital part of our Bill of Rights! End of story! We will not stop criminals by disarming Americans.
-
Democrats and Republicans. Both have been part of the problem. They see themselves as masters instead of public servants. America first!
-
Freedom of Religion. Freedom of religion does not mean
freedom from religion. As the Founders repeatedly said, without public
virtue, freedom cannot survive.
There’s only one remaining question...
Will Ben Carson Choose to Run for President?
The
answer he gives each time he is asked this question is yes, but only
if he is called by the American people and if God gives him the
direction to do so.
This is what Dr. Carson said to Newsmax reporter Bill Hoffmann on January 7, 2014...
“If
circumstances presented themselves in such a way that there were a lot
of people clamoring for me to do that [run for President]... I would
certainly have to give it consideration.”
In
other words, Dr. Carson believes that public office is not something
to be grasped, but rather something that one must be called to by his
fellow citizens. Dr. Carson has repeatedly made it clear that he will
run only if the American people “clamor” for him to run. That means...
It’s up to you and me to “clamor” for Dr. Carson to run for President.
And,
of course, that’s what the National Draft Ben Carson for President
Committee is all about. We have already clamored for Dr. Carson to run
for President by collecting more than 200,000 signatures of Americans
on petitions urging him to run.
In
addition, we have run huge, electronic billboards in Baltimore
(right), near Dr. Carson’s office, and in Iowa (below) during the
midterm caucuses. We are also building powerful grassroots
organizations in the early caucus and primary states of Iowa, New
Hampshire, South Carolina, North Carolina and Florida. It won’t do any
good to convince Dr. Carson to run if there is not an organization in
place to secure the nomination for him.
The
truth is, we have modeled our effort after the successful Obama
campaign of 2012, building a sophisticated software platform that links
donors, volunteers and paid staff together in one seamless program.
We
will need to get every Carson voter out in the Iowa Caucuses and in
New Hampshire, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Florida. We already
have 3,100 active working volunteers circulating petitions and manning
Carson booths at Republican and Tea Party events.
This effort has come a long way, but in truth, we have just begun.
And, in spite of our success thus far, money is very, very tight.
Dollars
are needed for office rent, for travel, for salaries, for advertising
on national talk radio programs, and to expand our campaign team.
If you believe in Dr. Carson as I do, then I urge you to do two things...
