That is the central focus of my new television commercial. As a fellow constitutional conservative, I wanted you to see the commercial first.
When times are tight for your family or mine, we know that’s not the time to call the credit card company and ask for a higher credit limit. But that’s what many elected officials in Washington are suggesting we do for our nation, right in the midst of an economic crisis!
Earlier this week, I reached out to my supporters on Facebook to ask them for their input on the debt ceiling debate. I wanted people like you to help me show the Washington elites that the American people have great reasons to oppose the debt ceiling increase.
One response I received really sums up the issue. Rick B. from Arkansas writes: “I refuse to sit idly by while we spend my grandchildren’s inheritance. If any business, or even a church, was run like our government, it wouldn’t last 2 years. I have to balance my budget.”
I hope you’ll agree with Rick and me: this debate needs some common sense. If you’ll join us and want to help stand up against the Washington liberals — there are many ways you can get involved immediately.
Share My New Commercial With Your Friends: I hope you’ll watch my new commercial on the need for courage and common sense in the debt ceiling debate. If you agree with it, would you email it to your friends and family, or post it on your Facebook page?
Volunteer Your Time and Talents: I’m looking for volunteers throughout the state to help with upcoming events. If you have the capacity to volunteer your time and talents for a couple hours or a couple weeks, I’d love to hear from you. Please visit the volunteer page on my website.
Like My Page on Facebook: Every day I post photos from the campaign trail, news stories that I’d like to share with my fellow constitutional conservatives, and opportunities to voice your opinions on the critical issues of the day. I hope you’ll join this ongoing conversation.
Make a Contribution: You and I know that it’s not easy to fight an uphill battle to protect our shared constitutional conservative values — especially when we’re up against Barack Obama’s war chest. But a donation of any amount you can afford will go a long way to help us continue fighting for what’s right.
Visit our Campaign Store: One way you can stand out is by wearing official Bachmann for President gear. Our official campaign store, has bumper stickers, rally signs, t-shirts and buttons. Please visit our store today!
Thank you for your time and your dedication to the principles that have made this country the great place it is. All is not lost, but we have to deal with the economic reality that lies before us. I have the will and I have the courage to see this through. I hope you’ll join me.
I look forward to connecting with you more in the coming weeks.
Well to clarify this let me just start from the beginning of things. 1st off a blog to me is where an individual person can rant it they choose, voice their opinions on various topics if they choose, write actual articles if they choose, or post a video or a picture only if they choose. A blog is a wonderful tool for getting out your opinions, if you want to make major grammatical errors while typing your blog “Like this one for example” so what IT IS YOUR BLOG. That is the wonderful thing about blogs it can be a single word like “HI” to a multi page short novel. The concept of blog is to let the “blogger” voice themselves in any way they feel like it.
If you read a blog you do not like then hey guess what? You can move on with your life and never look back, never have to hear of that blogger again “unless that blogger is like Perez Hilton” but your average pro blogger nah you can move on like it is just another day. But the problem with this is that most people who find a blog they “hate” they come back for more they just can not stand it that someone is expressing themselves and disagreeing with them. So everyone that blogs your going to have people who do not agree with you and who will continue to troll your post and leave negative comments, some will even go as far as threatening your life sad but it is true.
I am honored to have Shawn Moorehouse, Oustobama2012 and of course The STR posting on our blog each one of these guys myself included actually have different views on a variety of topics. That is what makes things so interesting to be able to talk with people who have different opinions than yourself.
So if you come across a blog that you do not like then go create your own blog and BLOG ABOUT IT.
I am curious because this caller sounds like he could be the “Rapper” Commons!
The Alex Jones Show had a guy call in from Jamaica to say that White People are the Devil. He said that we are the “Edomites” and God hates edomites because we are the seed of satan. I was shocked because I didn’t realize that there were people like this.
Under Newt’s leadership, Congress passed the first balanced budget in a generation, leading to the repayment of over $400 billion in debt. Congress also cut taxes for the first time in sixteen years and reformed welfare, leading to over sixty percent of welfare recipients either getting a job or going to school. In addition, the Congress restored funding to strengthen our defense and intelligence capabilities, an action later lauded by the bipartisan 9/11 Commission.
The Washington Times has called Newt Gingrich “the indispensable leader” and Time magazine, in naming him Man of the Year for 1995, said, “Leaders make things possible. Exceptional leaders make them inevitable. Newt Gingrich belongs in the category of the exceptional.”
Born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Newt’s experiences as the son of a career soldier convinced him at an early age to dedicate his life to his country and to the protection of freedom. Realizing the importance of understanding the past in order to protect the future, he immersed himself in the study of history, receiving his Bachelor’s degree from Emory University and Master’s and Doctorate in Modern European History from Tulane University. Before his election to Congress in 1978, Newt taught History and Environmental Studies at West Georgia College for eight years. He represented Georgia in Congress for twenty years, including four years as Speaker of the House.
Newt served on the Defense Policy Board under President George W. Bush, which provided strategic counsel to the Pentagon and Secretary of Defense on how to better address threats facing the United States. He is also the longest-serving teacher of the Joint War Fighting course for Major Generals and taught officers from all five services as a Distinguished Visiting Scholar and Professor at the National Defense University. In 1999, Gingrich was appointed to the United States Commission on National Security/21st Century, the Hart/Rudman Commission to examine our national security challenges as far out as 2025. The Commission’s report is the most profound rethinking of defense strategy since 1947.
Newt is widely recognized for his commitment to a better system of health for all Americans. His leadership helped save Medicare from bankruptcy, prompted FDA reform to help the seriously ill and initiated a new focus on research, prevention, and wellness. His contributions have been so great that the American Diabetes Association awarded him their highest non-medical award and the March of Dimes named him their 1995 Citizen of the Year.
In 2003, Newt founded the Center for Health Transformation to develop free market healthcare reforms to foster a 21st Century System of health and healthcare that is centered on the individual, prevention focused, knowledge intense and innovation rich. Newt also served as the Co-Chairman of the National Commission for Quality Long-term Care and the independent congressional Alzheimer’s Disease Study Group.
Newt and his wife, Callista, host and produce award-winning documentary films, including A City Upon a Hill, Nine Days that Changed the World, Ronald Reagan: Rendezvous with Destiny, and Rediscovering God in America. Together, Newt and Callista also author photo books and record audio books.
Newt is the author of twenty-three books, including thirteen New York Times bestsellers.
The Gingriches reside in McLean, Virginia. Their family includes two daughters and two grandchildren.
Newt Gingrich, who in the 1990s led the Republican Party to its first majority in the House of Representatives in 40 years, announced Monday that he is running for president in 2012.
I have been humbled by all the encouragement you have given me to run. Thank you for your support. Be sure to watch Hannity this Wednesday at 9pm ET/8pm CT. I will be on to talk about my run for President of the United States.

It’s official, almost. A spokesman for Newt Gingrich said the former House speaker will announce Wednesday he is running for president. Gingrich will announce his candidacy by Facebook and Twitter and give an interview on Fox News later that night. On Friday, he will deliver his first speech as a presidential candidate at the Georgia Republican Party Convention. The announcement comes as no surprise: Gingrich has been raising money and putting together a campaign team for months.
