A Message from Mike Huckabee

President Obama has every right to select the people he wants and trusts for his cabinet, but the United States Senate has not only the right, but the Constitutional responsibility to make sure those selections are in the best interest of the United States. Senators may not like some of his selections, but shouldn't oppose them due to purely political reasons. There ought to be something that fundamentally disqualifies a person from being confirmed. In the case of Treasury designee Timothy Geithner, they have an issue that should force President Obama to give us a better choice.

As I've said, you shouldn't RUN the IRS if you have a history of running from it.

I'm sure he's a nice man and has many endearing qualities, but not paying $34,000 in personal taxes and then saying "oops" doesn't cut it. It doesn't work that way for you.

I urge you to email or call your Senator this weekend or first thing Monday and let him or her know that giving Geithner a job as Treasury secretary is an insult to every citizen who pays his or her taxes on time. Call every talk tadio program you can and speak out. Go to the blogosphere and urge action on the part of other citizens who are outraged that a many who fails to pay his taxes will get a salary that YOUR taxes pay for. You can go to my website mikehuckabee.com and find the link to the contact information for the members of the Senate.
Go to your computer or your phone. Do it now. Let your voice be heard. If you don't speak out, then you are saying it's okay for the people who run the tax system to skip paying what you have to pay. You might be a strong supporter of President Obama and I'm not asking you to stop-I'm asking you to join me in asking the Senators of our nation to not do disservice to the President and the taxpayers by confirming Timothy Geithner to being Secretary of the Treasury.

Email or call now....the vote on him may be as early as Monday. There is time to stop it.

I Want to be Found Faithful - Justin Rizzo

I heard this song in church this past Sunday. I've been singing it all week. This is my heart's cry.

Disgusted

Well, I am pretty disgusted right now. If you haven't already heard, the Atlanta Braves have let John Smoltz go. He is going to pitch for Boston.
This is just not right. What is with the Braves? I mean, really, the man has played on this team for 21 years and now it's just over, like that?
I know a lot of players are disgusted and just can't believe that the Braves club didn't fight to keep him or offer him more money.
It's going to be interesting to see what happens, but it sure doesn't make me excited about this year.
Smoltzie gone, it just can't be happening... but it is.

Ringing in the New

Last night was fun.

We had the privilege of celebrating and ringing in the New Year with some great friends, great games and just a great time. Being with my family and friends is probably one of the things I enjoy most about my life. I feel so blessed.

2009 is going to usher in a lot of new things. Some significant things for our nation; such as a new president and the inability to know what that means and what it will hold.

And, personally, I am praying and asking Father God for new revelations from Him for my own life and the lives of those He has entrusted to our care.

I trust Him implicitly with all of the new things coming. I'm so glad I can!
