Good afternoon.  We are now three days away.  This morning I was back in my hometown of Inez, Kentucky to walk door-to-door and make phone calls to the voters in the Upper Inez Precinct of Martin County where I am still the precinct captain.  All politics are on the local level – working with voters one to one.

I would like to share with you a quote by Abraham Lincoln that I think about almost everyday.  This is what he had to say regarding one election:

“Organize the whole state, so that every Whig can be brought to the polls . . . divide (the) county into small districts, and . . . .appoint in each a sub-committee, . . . make a perfect list of all the voters and . . . ascertain with certainty for whom they will vote, . . . keep a constant watch on the doubtful voters, and . . . have them talked to by those in whom they have the most confidence, . . . and on election days see that every Whig is brought to the polls.”

Please take his advice to heart . . . and as a call to action.  Please reach out to your neighbors.  Make phone calls.  Knock on doors.  Encourage your friends and family to contribute their time and, if possible, their resources to the Party.  Most of all, please get out and vote.

Let’s surge to victory for our Party; for our principles; and for John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Thank you.
