A Primary Strategy:  Endorsements and Attacks by the Extremists' Groups 
Vote in the Republican primary on June 13 – whether you are a Democrat, Independent, or moderate Republican who usually waits until November to vote.  Consider the candidates being endorsed (red; will not be allowed to think for self) and being attacked (green; will think for self) – and vote for the candidate that will think for him or herself.  Here are the names you've wanted to see.  [June 12, 2006]

If we don’t vote for moderate candidates on Tuesday, we will not have moderate choices in November – and, then, the 80% of us who do think for ourselves will have no one in government looking out for us.  Instead, everyone in government will be telling what we must do and what we must think and what we must believe.  Here are the reasons to vote Republican on June 13.  [June 11, 2006]
