PRESIDENTIAL ENDORSEMENT

While many folks remain undecided often times up until just days before an election, I have long made it a point to try to endorse early on when I know there is a candidate who needs to be supported.  

This year, we are seriously in a historic and crossroads election.  Who is the best candidate to undo the eight years of damage to our Constitution, to our moral fabric, to our standing and repor in the world?  Looking even further back, who is in the best position to lead the way in rolling back the decades of blows to our founding values and our reality in being founded as a Christian nation?  Who will work to stem the tide of now trillions in national debt and growing radical Islamic and racial violence at home and particularly abroad?  These are critical questions the American people need to ponder on.

Well before 2015, even as far back as 2013, my choice all along was Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.  I believe he combined nearly all the characteristics needed in our next President.  A fighter, strong in faith, conservative on family values, economics and foreign policy, from the Midwest, able to attract grassroots and establishment Republicans, along with independents.  When he withdrew from the race, I had to ask the question of who was now in the race that would be the best overall candidate.

As I made my decision, I had a number of factors and scenarios I had to decipher:  
Who could unite the GOP?  
Who is the strongest conservative who doesn't deliver a harsh message?  
Who is optimistic about our nation and our potential?  
Who is strong on faith and lives a life of character?  
Who has decent experience in public service?  
Who is experienced enough to know what needs to be done, yet young enough to fully know our unique time in history?  
On that note, who has a strong vision to make this another American Century just as the last?  
Who can beat the Democratic nominee?  
Who can not only win the must-wins of Florida, Virginia, Ohio and Colorado, but who might be able to put states like Pennsylvania, Nevada and New Mexico back in play like when we started this century? 
What are their stands on the issues and what is their record on those issues?

The most important issues to me, in no particular order:
Respect for the Constitution and standing firm on our Founding document.
Strong faith and character.
Appointment of strict Supreme Court and federal judges, conservative by the Constitution.
Strong against radical Islamic terror.
For the right to life and the Biblical definition of marriage.
Strong economy by reforming the tax code, breaking down unnecessary regulations, and fighting the national debt.

When I asked myself these questions and surveyed the field, I found that one man far superseded the rest of the field when putting all of these issues together. 

That man is Florida Senator Marco Rubio.

He has a 94% conservative rating from Heritage Action and a 98% lifetime conservative rating from the American Conservative Union.
He has a strong, positive vision for our nation and its future.  He is optimistic and hopeful.
He is unashamed to talk about issues of faith and family values, and has a conservative record on those issues.  He is a family man with a highly respectable character.
His experience on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has prepared him to be the strongest in the field regarding knowledge of and solutions to defeating radical Islam.
He is well experienced in local and state, and now federal government and how it works through his years of public service.
I am confident he would appoint strong, constructionist Supreme Court judges.
He has a strong, conservative vision on reforming the tax code, entitlements, dismantling unneeded regulations and bringing the national debt under control.
His vision and charisma, and his inspirational life story, is attractive to many.
He can unite the GOP, and he is able to deliver Florida, and would be very competitive in Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Colorado and Nevada.
HE CAN DEFEAT CLINTON OR SANDERS!

There are a number of good, conservative candidates in this race.  Cruz, Santorum, Carson, Fiornia. Walker, Perry and Jundal were all great conservative candidates, but unfortunately could not catch on.  There is a big choice to be made.  At the end of the day, however, it is Sen. Marco Rubio that is the total package, the best man to be President of the United States at this time.

I hope you will decide the same also!
