Friends in Georgia -
 
I second these remarks by our meetup Organizer, Mark West!  Way to go, folks!! Your faithful prayers and support made Mike Huckabee's victory in GA last night possible; God blessed this humble man with success among Republicans last night, and we are so grateful!
 
Bernie and I have been here in Little Rock since late Monday night.  Yesterday afternoon, we went to the campaign headquarters and helped on the phones for 3+ hours.  What an experience!  At the behest of pundits like Rush Limbaugh, people were calling in to berate Mike for his win in West Virginia.  Most did not wish to leave a comment on the comment line, but preferred to unload vitriole on the phone volunteers instead.  Many of these angry callers were Romney supporters; sadly, many also identified themselves as Christians, though what they said and the way they said it belied their claim.  It was a good reminder to me to be praying regularly not just for Mike and his family, but for those who work with them on the campaign trail and in the Little Rock headquarters.
 
I hope many of you were able to get to the rally for "Huck and Chuck" on Monday in Chattanooga.  It was really exciting to see both Mike and Chuck Norris, and hear our candidate speak from the heart.  Mike Huckabee is a genuine, caring, articulate conservative, and we need to do our best to continue to support him in this campaign.
 
Please contact  folks you know in Louisiana, Washington state, Kansas (where primaries are Saturday, 2/9), Maryland, Washington D.C., and Virginia (primaries next Tuesday, 2/12).  Encourage them to investigate Mike Huckabee on his website, then cast their votes for him in their primaries.  More primary victories for Mike may well make Mitt Romney willing finally to recognize his inability to win (saying "I'm the only true conservative" constantly doesn't seem to be a convincing strategy) and step out of the race.  A contest between John McCain and Mike Huckabee would be run on ideas and principles, not personalities, and would be best for the health of the Republican Party as well as the country.  Let's not stop praying and working for Mike Huckabee, just as those whose primaries preceded ours helped us to success!
 
Thanks to all of you -

Subject: [mikehuckabee-37] What a Night!!!

Chattanooga Area Huckabee Friends:

You have got to be tremendously excited and pleased with the way this night has gone. I know that I am. What a tremendous conclusion to many hours of effort by many of you - making phone calls, waving signs, passing out flyers, going door to door, driving in car parades, handing out voter guides, calling churches, and of course, praying and praying and praying.

We can clearly see the results of your labor in TN. I truly believe that everyone one of you who were involved over the last few weeks in our initiative locally can clearly see that YOU MADE THE DIFFERENCE. Chip Saltsman and other key Campaign staff told me personally that we clearly made the difference in carrying TN for Huckabee!!

This is truly a historic night and one we will never forget.

But, we cannot rest on these results. Wednesday morning it starts afresh. Our Huckabee Campaign has just crested the hill at the 13 mile marker of our Marathon and we are half way to the Goal. We must reach mile 26 and to do so will require more of the same:

We must raise $$$ and gain voters.

Many of you know that my Dad and I spent the last two days in Little Rock. (Bernie and Ann Ritterbush also made the trek over here.) We were afforded the opportunity to see and be with the Governor and his staff several times over the last two days and hear his heart. Tonight, following the victories, the Governor shared with Team-100 Members that the credit for this victory goes to God - plain and simple. Clearly God used you and me to accomplish this victory but ultimately He deserves and receives the credit.

Mike Huckabee shared that so long as the Campaign continues to be blessed with victories and funds, the Campaign will continue on. So we must fund this Campaign.

If you've believed in this message then it is incumbent more than ever to continue to lock arms with us and press on to Mile Marker 26.

We will be in touch with you in the next day or so to provide you with the next steps that we will be taking in the Chattanooga area to continue our support of Mike Huckabee.

In the meantime, would you consider contributing to the Huckabee campaign? If so, please go to the website and use my Personal Donor Code #133: https://www.mikehuckabee.com/?FuseAction=Contribute.Home

Thanks so much for your support and being a part of this grassroots movement that is changing "politics as usual" and giving us a voice on the issues that we care about the most.

Here to serve you...

Mark West
Huckabee for President
