a HuckPAC Update

The following is a Huck PAC update from Governor Mike Huckabee. I haven;'t been too active in the past week so this shares pretty much everything that has gone down over there this week.

I told you when we first started Huck PAC that I am very excited about what together, we can accomplish. You and Huck PAC will be a big part of Election 2008. Indeed, we will have an impact on elections far into the future. But to do that, I need your continued involvement with Huck PAC.

I will continue to send you frequent updates about the activities of Huck PAC, and ways that you can be involved as we move forward. Huck PAC is founded on the principles that are important to all Americans: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. We will continue to identify candidates who hold firm to the strong principles that are so important to us – candidates who are passionate advocates for tax reform, a strong national defense, real border security, life, the family, less government and individual liberty.

IN THE NEWS

Gov. Huckabee Responds To Novak: Governor Huckabee responded to a column by Robert Novak. In a blog post titled “McCain, Huckabee and Evangelicals” Governor Huckabee said in the strongest possible terms “We deserve a President with the character, conviction, experience, and wisdom to see the problems we face and try to lead us to solve them. We deserve a President who truly loves this country and from whom there is no doubt as to his respect for Faith, Family, and the kind of freedom that those before us have given their lives to pass on to us. John McCain meets that criteria and that’s why I am campaigning for him and not hoping for Obama.” Read the entire blog post here.

Gov. Huckabee's Personal Update: Recently Governor Huckabee blogged about “Catching Up”. Check out what he has to say here.
