May 18, 2010 Can you help fight back against the liberal political machine controlling Washington DC right now?

Greetings Patriot, We must remain vigilant in protecting our Liberty as we continue our fight to preserve this Constitutional Republic. The attacks on our conservative principles are coming faster and from a wider variety of adversaries. Over the last month, the mainstream media has attempted to paint Tea Parties as racist organizations. This charge is ludicrous and almost laughable. I have personally attended several Tea Party gatherings - large and small - since their inception over a year ago. The Tea Party movement is committed to supporting candidates and elected officials who will end out of control government spending and get the government out of the way so our economy can recover. This is why they support me, and why I have their flank covered. And now President Obama has nominated Elena Kagan for the opening on the Supreme Court. Kagan filed an amicus brief that was aimed at banning military recruiters from campus when she was Dean of Harvard's Law School. Additionally, she favors extending Constitutional protections to illegal enemy combatants further weakening our National Security. After speaking out on both these issues, it should come as no surprise the liberal media has started to attack me. Just last week the Daily Beast (what a name-of course you know it is a liberal online publication!) tried to use my military record against me. These attacks are just the beginning. You have previously shown great courage in joining our campaign to return basic American values to the United States Congress.Once again, I am asking for your help as we fight back against the liberal political machine which is controlling Washington DC right now. Your contribution of $25, $50 or $100 will help me fight these liberal attacks that are being shot at me and our campaign as we try to bring common conservative sense to Washington! Please click here to make a contribution to defeat one of Nancy Pelosi's puppets-Democratic Congressman Ron Klein. Your support will allow us to deliver our message of providing physical and economic security to all our citizens. Steadfast and Loyal, LTC (R) Allen B. West.

About Allen West

Running for congress for the 22nd District of Florida.

Lieutenant Colonel Allen West (US Army, Retired) was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia and is third of four generations of military servicemen in his family. His parents instilled in him a very basic principle, love of God and Country. In 2004, when it was time to retire from more than twenty years of service in the US Army, he brought his wife and two young daughters to Broward County, Florida, where he taught high school for one year. He then returned to Afghanistan as an advisor to the Afghan army, an assignment he finished in November 2007.

Allen West received his Bachelors degree from University of Tennessee and Masters degree from Kansas State University, both in political science. He also holds a Master of Military Arts and Sciences from the US Army Command and General Staff Officer College in political theory and military operations.

“Education is the great equalizer,” he says. “With a good education, any child in America can live his dream.”

Allen West knows that for our children to live their dreams, they need to be safe. He has served in several combat zones: in Operation Desert Storm, in Operation Iraqi Freedom, where he was battalion commander for the Army’s 4th Infantry Division, and in Afghanistan, where he trained Afghan officers to take on the responsibility of securing their own country.

In his Army career, Col. West has been honored many times, including a Bronze Star, three Meritorious Service Medals, three Army Commendation Medals (one with Valor), and a Valorous Unit Award. He received his valor award as a Captain in Desert Shield/Storm, was the US Army ROTC Instructor of the Year in 1993, and was a Distinguished Honor Graduate III Corps Assault School. He proudly wears the Army Master parachutist badge, Air Assault badge, Navy/Marine Corps parachutist insignia, Italian parachutist wings, and German proficiency badge (Bronze award).

Allen is an avid distance runner, a PADI Master certified SCUBA diver, motorcyclist, and attends Community Christian Church in Tamarac Florida.

Excellence is a West family tradition. His wife, Angela, holds an MBA and PhD. and works as a financial planner. His oldest daughter, Aubrey, attends Archbishop McCarthy HS and his youngest daughter, Austen, attends Cooper City Christian Academy.
