"We have a political class that has become unprincipled, and they have created a political process that is not of the people, by the people, or for the people. Now, you can try and fix the process without addressing the lack of principle, but, at best, all you're likely to accomplish is to create a more efficient means of tyranny. No, get the principles right, quit compromising them, and then fixing the process will be easy."

"If, then, the control of the people over the organs of their government be the measure of its republicanism, and I confess I know no other measure, it must be agreed that our governments have much less of republicanism than ought to have been expected; in other words, that the people have less regular control over their agents, than their rights and their interests require."
-- Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Taylor, 1816 "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice."

Vice Presidential Nominee, America's Party Conservative voters don't vote for liberal politicians. Both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are liberal politicians. As Mr. Hoefling has said many times, Republicans may be conservatives, or they may support Mitt Romney--but they may not do both. Principled patriotic American voters don't vote for candidates who are opposed to America's foundational principles. Both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney hold a number of positions that are directly opposed to America's foundational principles. Republicans may be principled patriotic Americans, or they may support Mitt Romney--they may not do both. Pro-life voters don't vote for pro-abortion candidates. Both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are pro-abortion candidates. Republicans may be pro-life, or they may support Mitt Romney--they may not do both. With the impending Republican nomination of Mitt Romney for president, it is becoming increasingly difficult to deny that patriotic, pro-life conservatives are no longer allowed any real voice in the Republican Party. But patriotic, pro-life, conservative Republicans are welcome in America's Party. http://www.selfgovernment.us/affiliate.html "A Socrates quote that in my opinion could be applied directly to all the conservatives who have wasted their time, energy and treasure on the Republican presidential nominating process this year: 'He is not only idle who does nothing, but he is idle who might be better employed.'”

-- Benjamin Franklin After saying Obama on ‘similar path’ as Hitler/Stalin, Illinois bishop hit with IRS complaint4/21/2012 LifeSiteNews.com
By Patrick B. Craine PEORIA, Illinois – After a fiery homily last weekend urging the faithful to oppose [Alleged] President Obama’s “radical pro-abortion and extreme secularist agenda” at the ballot box in November, Bishop Daniel Jenky of Peoria has been hit with an IRS complaint from a national secularist lobby group. At a gathering of Catholic men on Saturday, the Illinois prelate had slammed Obama’s mandate forcing religious employers to cover contraceptives, sterilizations, and abortion-inducing drugs. The unprecedented attack on religious freedom, he said, signaled that the president “seems intent on following a similar path” as past dictators such as Hitler, Stalin, and Otto von Bismarck. “This fall, every practicing Catholic must vote, and must vote their Catholic consciences, or by the following fall our Catholic schools, our Catholic hospitals, our Catholic Newman Centers, all our public ministries - only excepting our church buildings – could easily be shut down,” he said. On Thursday, the Washington-based Americans United for Separation of Church and State claimed the homily violated federal law by taking sides in a political campaign. Read more at LifeSiteNews ... "There is no good government but what is republican...a republic is 'an empire of laws, and not of men'...a republic is the best of governments, so that particular arrangement of the powers of society, or in other words, that form of government which is best contrived to secure an impartial and exact execution of the law, is the best of republics."

The Tom Hoefling 2012 presidential campaign is revolutionizing the way we do politics in America. We're creating a political process by which all candidates for public office, including Tom Hoefling, are held strictly accountable to the foundational principles of our country, to the Constitution of the United States, and to We the People. We're not relying in any way on the so-called "mainstream" media. We're counting only on the citizen media, with its free access to the worldwide web, social media, email, and telephones. We're not beholden to any money interests. Why? Because we are asking for NO DONATIONS. Instead, we're counting on a million patriotic Americans who are willing to run their own campaigns, in their own states, from their own front porches. To find out how we are able to do this, please read "Tom Hoefling: I Don't Want Your Money." Today Bloomberg published a story about the ridiculous burdens presidential candidates place themselves and their supporters under to run, and the sometimes decades-long money chase it leads to. A short excerpt: "Putting an end to a presidential campaign can be a nightmare that lasts years. There are employees, consultants, lawyers, and ad makers clamoring to be paid, ad buys to cancel, contracts and legal disputes to settle, office space, computers, phones, and furniture around the country to unload, and a staggering pile of disclosure forms and other paperwork to complete before the Federal Election Commission will certify that a campaign is officially over.” Tom Hoefling 2012 has no "employees, consultants, lawyers, and ad makers clamoring to be paid." We have no "ad buys to cancel," or "contracts and legal disputes to settle." We have no "office space, computers, phones, and furniture around the country to unload." Our FEC forms contain zeroes. There won't be any problem wrapping up our affairs when the election is over, no matter the outcome. And, most importantly, our supporters won't be receiving fund-raising appeals from here to eternity. Doesn't that sound revolutionary to you? Support Tom Hoefling "If virtue and knowledge are diffused among the people, they will never be enslaved. This will be their great security."

Paul Revere was captured along the way, but William Dawes and Samuel Prescott continued the midnight ride from Boston's Old North Church to warn the inhabitants of Concord that British troops were coming to seize their guns. In early dawn, APRIL 19, 1775, American "Minutemen," as poet Emerson wrote, fired the "shot heard round the world" by confronting the British on Lexington Green and at Concord's Old North Bridge. The conflict began that in eight years would end in independence. New England celebrates this as "Patriots' Day." Also on APRIL 19, in the year 1951, Five-Star General Douglas MacArthur retired from 48 years of patriotic service. One of the most decorated soldiers in U.S. history, MacArthur served in France in WWI, was Superintendent of West Point and the youngest Army Chief of Staff. General Douglas MacArthur was Supreme Allied Commander in the Pacific in WWII and received Japan's surrender. He commanded UN forces against North Korea, but was dismissed by President Truman for not fighting a limited war. Douglas MacArthur said: "Like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who has tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty."

Vice Presidential Nominee, America's Party "If man is not governed by God, he will be ruled by tyrants." -- William Penn Whenever a Republican expresses his displeasure with Mitt Romney, and acknowledges that Romney is a liberal who does not represent the conservative base of the Republican Party, but then goes on to argue that we must vote for him anyway, then what has he admitted but that compromised conservatives are under the tyrannical power of a dictatorial GOP? After all, what is tyranny if not an external compulsion to lend our consent and aid to those who oppose our most cherished beliefs? And what has led us under the heel of this tyrant-party? It has been our willingness to compromise our principles, our failure to remember that our efforts and our nation cannot be blessed but by adherence to the Laws of the Great Disposer of Nations, and our refusal to abide by His unwavering standards as they apply to our political decisions. We have broken free of the dictates of conscience, only to find ourselves in subjection to the edicts of the Republican Party. “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey?” But by the grace of God, the choice of masters lies yet before us. It is not too late to reject the tyrants, and determine to vote for principle. The decision is still ours: "If man is not governed by God, he will be ruled by tyrants." "Moderate is a base-stealing word for liberal Republicans."

Ringside Politics Tom Hoefling is scheduled to be interviewed by host Jeff Crouere this morning at 9 am Central Listen LIVE! "Let me give it to you straight and with no varnish:
I fear a conservative movement that has totally abandoned all principle infinitely more than I fear a second Obama term. And I fear God more than either. We've survived evil, stupid politicians before. But we cannot survive an electorate with no principles. Especially that portion of the electorate that represents the only hope of ever putting this country back aright." -- Tom Hoefling, April 17, 2012 "A people who have abandoned their allegiance to God, to self-evident truth, to the principles that make the rule of law, and even civilization itself, possible, are ripe for exactly the same sort of destruction that occurred in the last century in Germany and Russia. Go ahead, burn up your most precious inheritance on the altar of perceived political expediency. Just don't whine when you're destroyed. And don't expect those of us who are determined to maintain the old allegiances to like it, or to thank you."
-- Tom Hoefling, April 17, 2012 "Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
-- Winston Churchill Politico
MAGGIE HABERMAN ... Paul Singer, Dan Loeb and Cliff Asness — three hedge fund managers and major players in donor circles — each cut six-figure checks toward the landmark effort to legalize gay marriage in New York. Singer, the intensely-private head of Elliott Associates, has been especially active in donating to groups aimed at legalizing gay marriage in different states over the last five years, concurrent with his rise as one of the Republican party’s mot prominent bundlers and donors to party committees. According to a recent New York Times story,Singer has donated $8 million to pro-gay marriage efforts since 2007. He’s also helped raise more than $1 million for Romney’s campaign, as well as donated another $1 million to the super PAC supporting the all-but-assured Republican nominee.
