Thread: The Contract with Conservatives YOUMAY WANT TO SIGN PETITION

The Contract with Conservatives

"The elections of 2006 showed what can happen when Republican officeholders do not follow through on core Republican principles. Turnout goes down, and Republicans lose. The trend is looking even worse for 2008. As former House Speaker Newt Gingrich noted in a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC):"

"GOPUSA has set up a petition to show our support for the Contract with Conservatives and to show the Republican establishment that our votes will not be taken for granted. Please sign the petition and encourage all Republicans and conservatives you know to sign it."

You may or may not want to sign this petition, read first and decide.

The first paragraph of the contract:

Immigration Reform

Secure America's borders
Enforce employment laws
No amnesty
The American people have spoken, and the clear message is that immigration reform starts with secure borders. In a post-9/11 world, we should expect nothing less. In addition, the American people do not support amnesty. Candidates must repudiate amnesty and show respect for the American people by showing respect for the law. Illegal aliens should not be given special consideration for citizenship and should not be put ahead of those seeking to come to America legally. Conservatives will work for candidates who pledge to put border security first and who pledge to not put illegal aliens ahead of those seeking citizenship through legal means.

I do want McCain at the very least to respond to this. If he wants a vote we'll need to get the matter of him signing a McCain/Kennedy type bill settled.

I signed it and will forward to everyone I know.

I hope this gets alot of attention so McCain can't ignore it. And if he doesn't sign this, then conservatives should not vote for him, period.
