An Important Message From Georgians For Huckabee

The following message is from the State Co-chair of Georgians For Huckabee, Joe Dendy and is directed to those who will be attending the Georgia GOP Convention this weekend in Columbus:

To all of our faithful Mike Huckabee supporters:

I hope to see many of you at the State Republican Convention in Columbus this coming weekend. I will be working at the registration table, so please come by and say hello. Everyone one of you played a major part in winning the great state of Georgia for Gov. Huckabee, and I would consider it an honor meet those of you whom I have not met in person and to shake your hand!

I am also writing this email to you because of a great concern that has been brought to my attention. Some of you have notified me that you have been contacted by supporters of another presidential candidate, asking for your help to "change" the direction of the Convention. Many of this candidate's supporters are new to politics and have become upset with the process. Their purpose in contacting supporters of Gov. Huckabee is to recruit enough assistance in pushing through their people as delegates to the National Convention. Please know that the leadership of Georgians for Huckabee is NOT supportive of these tactics, and we ask that none of you participate in such a move.

I must say that as Huckabee supporters, we are just as passionate about our man as this other group is about theirs. However, I truly believe that Mike's supporters are capable of looking beyond the immediate and seeing what is best for our great country. Yes, as long as Gov. Huckabee does not release his delegates, the Georgia delegates to the National Convention will be required to vote for Mike in the first two ballots at the National Convention. However, if a presidential candidate is not chosen in these first two ballots, Georgia's delegates are then released from all obligations and are allowed to cast their ballots for another candidate. So, if the balloting gets to that point, we as a state party must be able to trust the delegates we select to do the right thing. We must have delegates that will then get behind the best candidate to defeat the liberal candidate chosen by the dems. As a state party, we must resist any attempts to elect national delegates who will place our party in jeopardy of keeping the White House!

Simply put, Sen. John McCain is now our candidate, and we must all get behind him to get him elected!! . . . Can you even imagine the alternative of either Obama or Hillary?!!

If you have any questions, including how national delegates are chosen, please email me at dendyjoe@comcast.net.

Again, thank you for all of your hard work for Mike Huckabee. But please remember, your work is not done . . . We MUST keep the White House, so please direct your efforts now to electing John McCain as our next president!
