HuckPAC: "Time to Kick It Into High Gear"

The following is an urgent message from Governor Mike Huckabee:  


As we head to the final laps of the 2008 races, we need to kick in to high gear for the candidates who will help bring principled government from the White House to the state house with our shared commitment to the sanctity of life, the Fair Tax, respect of the traditional family, and responsible and honest government. 

To put it bluntly and get to the point, we need urgent help to have the "gas" to get to the finish line.  The cost of operating our website, conducting research on issues for candidates, travel to events for candidates and state and local parties have pretty well depleted our resources and we want to do more, not less, for the kind of conservative candidates that can remake America.

I don't mind asking for your help because it doesn't benefit me personally.  When we launched HuckPAC, I decided that I wouldn't take any compensation from it but would earn all my income in private sector endeavors such as speaking, writing, and doing commentary for the Fox News Channel.  I wanted to make sure that critics didn't think I created HuckPAC for personal gain.  Frankly, it would be easier for me to not have the responsibilities of HuckPAC and simply spend more time either at home or doing things that did benefit my own family.  But Janet and I launched into the shark infested waters of politics almost 18 years ago to be "salt and light" in a decaying and dark world and there's no reason to turn back now. 

I'm actually writing this on yet another plane on another early morning flight toward another long day.  I left Little Rock Tuesday night after doing Hannity and Colmes and flew to Orlando for a Wednesday morning speech.  Then flew to Washington, D. C. for a music education event before participating in "DC's Funniest Celebrities," a fund raising event that helps provide music education for children with disabilities.  (By the way, I won the event of about a dozen people doing stand-up routines at the Improv).  I'm now flying to Springfield, Missouri for an event for a pro-life group.  Tomorrow, I will go to Oregon to speak to a men's conference.  Saturday, I'll speak in Monterey, California and then go to Los Angeles for a church speaking event to discuss the importance of marriage and Proposition 8 (CA marriage amendment).  Then Sunday night, I fly to Atlanta where I'll guest host for radio talk show host, friend, and Fair Tax book author Neil Boortz.  Then it's on to South Carolina for candidate events Monday night and then to North Carolina Tuesday to help more candidates before finally getting back home Wednesday-8 days and two coast to coast trips later. 

I'm not telling you that schedule to make you tired or sympathetic, but to let you know that we are not sitting on your contributions to HuckPAC, but using them. 

I'm not asking you to go for days with little sleep and rushing through airports to get to events, but rather to ask you to today make a generous contribution to HuckPAC  and help us in these final 50 days of the election season. 

$100, $50, or even $25 can make a difference.  Of course, if you are able to give $250, $500, $1000, or up to $5000, you would be a real hero! 

Travel costs are up significantly due to fuel prices and I'm sure you have noticed the improvements in our website, which will get even better in the coming weeks.

I don't often make such direct appeals, but as I was standing in line for coffee at 5:30 this morning trying to wake up, it occurred to me that the cost of the coffee each day for a month would be more than $50 in a month.  Just the coffee.  Surely my HuckPAC team could give that much to wake up America as we spend to wake up ourselves!

Go online to make a contribution today.

Or you call mail it in:

Here's a special incentive-for the first 25 donors who contribute $1000 or more online, I will send you a custom-designed "Huck-a-Bass" silk tie personally signed on the back.  It was a tie you've likely seen me wear on Fox and Friends or in speeches, but it's a blue tie that has the print of my Tobias bass guitar and was designed and custom made especially for me and not available in any other way. 

There were only a few made, so when they are gone, that's it. 

Even if you can't be one of the first 25 to contribute that much, any gift right now really matters and thats why we are also offering to add your name into a raffle if you give $15 or more.  We will choose three names from these supporters and send them an autographed tie as well. 

I hope to hear from you today!

God bless and keep the faith!

Mike Huckabee
