We Need the Senate in 2012 - Follow and Support the Best Site

The Senate Conservative Fund was, in November of 2010, most responsible for securing the election of a group of of the best Republican Senators in many years.  That the Fund was not successful in taking over the Senate in 2010 can be traced to massive infusion of money into key races by the Democrats and massive fraud perpetrated by the unions in particular.  There is a move in Congress to require valid identification in order to vote but Democrats are vehemently against this; we need not even guess why.

But the Conservative Fund came close and they are working hard under the leadership of one of the best incumbent Senators there is, Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina, to take control of the Senate with good conservatives in 2012.

The approach taken by Senator DeMint is unique in the history of the Republican Party.  Usually anyone who claimed to be a Republican and was considered favorably by the Old Guard, The Senate Club, as DeMint calls it was in, and would be supported by the Party.  Some of these candidates were good but a lot were ones who received training from the Club as to how to best get along with the club by going along with the pork, the spending, the earmarks, the deals made with the opposition, etc.

Nothing about principles which we now, as Republicans, are demanding.  What follows below is an edited summary of what the Senate Conservative Fund stands for and what is expected of the candidates they endorse.  Go to their site, bookmark it and follow it on a regular basis to see the progress being made.  It is the one site that has the best information about the best candidates and they are getting a much better head start for 2012 than they did for 2010.

12 Senate Races to Watch  (Posted by Sen Jim DeMint of South Carolina)

My vote in the United States Senate impacts someone in Texas just as much as it impacts someone in South Carolina. If we're going to save our country from the liberals who are destroying it, we have to think bigger and be more strategic in how we approach each election.  That is why we have identified 12 races that offer conservatives the best chances for pick-ups in the upcoming elections. Our Watch List may change as the election matures but these are the contests we believe are the most important right now.

2012 SCF Watch List

1. Nebraska     2. West Virginia     3. Texas     4. North Dakota     5. Arizona     6. Montana     7. Missouri     8. Florida     9. Ohio     10. Virginia     11. New Mexico     12. New Jersey

We need to find principled and courageous candidates to support in each of these races.

   The Senate Conservatives Fund only supports proven conservatives.: 

      We don't endorse incumbents and 

      We don't support wishy-washy politicians who are Republicans in name only (RINOs). 

      We work to elect new leaders who are committed to join the fight, not the Senate club. 

In order to win our support, candidates have to pledge to: 

   Support and Defend the Constitution

   Oppose all earmarks

   Support the Balanced Budget Amendment

   Repeal ObamaCare

   Stop all tax increases

   Oppose amnesty and secure our borders

   Defend the 2nd Amendment

   Protect the unborn

   Preserve traditional marriage

   Support term limits for Congressmen and Senators
