GOVERNOR MIKE HUCKABEE AND HUCK PAC ENDORSE TOM MARINO FOR US CONGRESS DISTRICT 10 PENNSYLVANIA
by Mike Huckabee
Huck PAC and I are proud to endorse Tom Marino for Congress from Pennsylvania’s 10th. Tom was first elected as a District Attorney in 1991 and served in the post for 10 years. In 2002 Tom was selected to serve as United States Attorney, and in that capacity Tom served the citizens of Central and Northeast Pennsylvania with distinction.
Tom shares our conservative values, like the sanctity of life, lower taxes, and the right to keep and bear arms. Tom will fight for lowering taxes on job creators, because he knows that’s the best way to jumpstart our economy. In addition, Tom will not support any legislation that puts government between patients and their doctors.
Please join me in supporting Tom Marino for Congress from Pennsylvania’s 10th – let’s make sure we send Tom to Washington.

GOVERNOR MIKE HUCKABEE AND HUCK PAC ENDORSE JUSTIN READY FOR MARYLAND STATE DELEGATE DISTRICT 5A
by Mike Huckabee
Huck PAC and I are proud to endorse Justin Ready for Maryland State Delegate from District 5A. Justin has the right kind of experience needed to represent the people and he is ready to serve. Justin has legislative experience from working in the Maryland General Assembly for two conservative Republican legislators; he’s also served as the Executive Director of the Maryland Republican Party.
A small business owner, Justin understands firsthand how excessive spending and high taxes wreak havoc on a business and he will fight to reduce taxes and eliminate wasteful spending. Electing Justin Ready will help bring real positive change to Maryland.
Justin is pro-life, pro-family and strongly supports 2nd Amendment rights. Just has also been endorsed by Maryland Right to Life, so we will never have to question where he stands on the sanctity of life.
Please join me in supporting Justin Ready for Maryland State Delegate. We can count on Justin to fight for us in Annapolis.

President Obama will make a speech to the nation tonight about the end of conflict in Iraq. It will be interesting to see how he handles the success of the surge, especially since he was vehemently against it while in the Senate. President Obama takes no blame for our massive unemployment or our huge debt because he claims that's somebody else's fault - so I wonder if he'll take credit for someone else's strategy in Iraq. . .

GOVERNOR MIKE HUCKABEE AND HUCK PAC ENDORSE JASON RAPERT FOR ARKANSAS STATE SENATOR IN DISTRICT 18
Huck PAC and I are proud to endorse Jason Rapert for State Senate in District 18. Jason Rapert has lived a life of service to others and now wants to continue that by being the next State Senator to represent the great people of District 18.
Jason shares our traditional conservative values like the sanctity of life and traditional marriage between one man and one woman. Jason is a proud Life Member of the NRA, and believes law-abiding citizens have the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
Jason believes small businesses are the backbone of our economy – and he knows lowering taxes will inevitably allow those businesses to create jobs ultimately jumpstarting a lagging economy.
Please join me in supporting Jason Rapert for State Senate from District 18 – he’s the kind of person we need fighting for our best interests in Little Rock.

Peter Hamby has a good article on CNN’s political ticker blog. He writes “While the media focused largely on Palin's support for Miller, Mike Huckabee's political organization was also playing a key role in turning out conservative voters. But the former Arkansas governor and Fox News host quickly put his political action committee to work for Miller - another example, his aides say, of Huckabee's underappreciated influence on races around the country."
"Gov. Huckabee not only endorsed Joe through Huck PAC, he made a radio spot that aired frequently as well as robocalls, blogging on his website and Facebook, and sending Twitter messages," said Miller spokesman Randy DeSoto. Huck PAC also did three get-out-the-vote email blasts for Miller before the vote, along with a phone bank.”

Huck PAC Endorses Keith Crass For Arkansas State Representative District 24
by Mike Huckabee
Huck PAC and I are proud to endorse Keith Crass for State Representative from District 24. Keith shares our traditional conservative values, like the sanctity of life and marriage between one man and one woman. Keith will fight to protect our 2nd amendment rights and will continue his efforts to protect all Arkansans from unnecessary taxes.

In fact, Keith received the ASCPA 2009 Outstanding Legislative Service Award for his work with the Arkansas Legislature.
As the next State Representative from District 24, Keith will be able to more effectively protect the taxpayers of our great state. Keith hasn’t lost touch with the voters; he’s not a career politician. Keith knows what needs to be done and is ready to get to work with your support.

Co-Sign My Letter Of Thanks To The Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli
by Mike Huckabee
Finally, a Federal Judge has chosen to interpret the law rather than legislate from the bench.
I was pleased to read the ruling of U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson who permitted the lawsuit filed by Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli against Obamacare to move forward.
Judge Hudson in his 32 page ruling said, “While this case raises a host of complex constitutional issues, all seem to distill to the single question of whether or not Congress has the power to regulate –and tax – a citizen’s decision not to participate in interstate commerce.”
The Attorney General of Virginia, who was endorsed by Huck PAC early on during his campaign for Attorney General, truly and correctly, articulated the heart of the issue, “this case is not about health care, so much as it is about liberty.”
The Federal Government, under the Obama Administration has expanded the reach of the government to the point that it intrudes into every aspect of our lives. Obamacare is perhaps the most pervasive step by the Administration to take away our liberty by requiring us to purchase a product that the majority of us do not want.
That is why we must fight the attempts by the Obama Administration to take away our liberty. I congratulate and applaud Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli in having the courage to take on the Federal Government and defend the Constitution of the United States.
I know that many other state Attorney Generals are also fighting against the health care law and I hope that more states join the battle.
When pivotal moments present themselves to our leaders – it’s encouraging to know a Huck PAC endorsed candidate like Ken Cuccinelli will stand up for our freedoms.
Since the ruling, Ken has been taking many personal attacks from frustrated left wing special interest groups. I expect these attacks will continue and only escalate as this case moves through the courts.
Ken is leading the fight for those of us who are frustrated and angry with the unprecedented expansion of the federal government into our private lives. As a way of thanks, I am sending him a short thank you note which I would like you to co-sign.
You can find a copy of my letter here. When I send this to Ken in a few weeks I would like nothing better than to be able to say to him that 25,000+ Americans joined me in expressing their thanks for his hard work on behalf of all of us.To co-sign my letter click here: http://www.mikehuckabee.com/co-sign-my-letter-to-ken-cuccinelli

If Joe Miller Wins in Alaska, it will be a colossal upset, Huckabee says
by Web Team
There is a good article by Fox News reporter Elena Isella about the Senate Republican primary race in Alaska. Isella quotes Governor Huckabee “It's not just a Republican primary election race in Alaska, it's the "Continental Army versus the British." That's what former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee said Wednesday morning on "Fox & Friends" when he weighed in on the still-undetermined, and surprisingly tight, Senate race.

Dear Team Huck Iowa,
I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer! First of all, I would like to thank everyone for a hard fought primary season. Your dedication to Huck PAC and Team Huck are greatly appreciated.
I would like to start off this letter with some great news. Governor Huckabee has endorsed TWELVE new candidates in our great state of Iowa which is in addition to the earlier endorsements of Charles Grassley for U.S. Senate and Bill Northey for Iowa Secretary of Agriculture. This is the most endorsements that Huck PAC has made in one state so far! We are extremely grateful and plan to do everything we can to see that each of these candidates win their race in November.
Here is the list of the new Iowa Huck PAC candidates:
INCUMBENTS
Steve King (U.S. Congress 5th District)
Tom Latham (U.S. Congress 4th District)
Dwayne Alons (Iowa House 4th District--Lyon and Sioux counties)
Chris Hagenow (Iowa House 59th District--Polk county)
Jason Schultz (Iowa House 55th District--Woodbury, Ida, Crawford, and Monona counties)
Kent Sorenson (running for Iowa Senate 37th District--Warren, Madison, and Dallas counties)
Kim Pearson (running for Iowa House 42nd District--Polk and Jasper counties)
Tom Shaw (running for Iowa House 8th District--Pocahontas, Humboldt, Kossuth, and Webster counties)
Jane Hodoly (running for Iowa House 93rd District--Wapello county)
Chad Steenhoek (running for Iowa House 46th Distrist--Boone and Story counties)
Brenna Findley (running for Iowa Attorney General--opposing Tom Miller)
Brad Zaun (running for U.S. Congress 3rd District--Leonard Boswell's seat)
If you are not sure which district you are in or who your senators and representatives are please go to this link.
It is not necessary to live in a candidate's district to help with their campaign. You can send money directly to their campaign through their website, tell friends or family that do live in that district to get out and vote for the Huck PAC candidate, or if you live close to the district you can walk in parades for the candidate, make phone calls for them, or do literatures drops for them. So don't feel like the only way to get a candidate elected is to vote for them. Nothing is further from the truth!
If you are interested in helping with any of the Huck PAC candidates' campaigns or would like one of their signs in your yard, please email me at lorijungling@huckpacvolunteer.com.
Huck PAC has been making some phenomenal endorsements and have had some instrumental victories. They are one of the few PACs that give their time and/or money to candidates at the state and local level and they are also the PAC that donates the highest percentage of money to candidates. All of this makes Huck PAC a force when it comes to electing conservatives nationwide and especially in Iowa.

My husband is turning 55 years old today, and I was wondering if you would sign his birthday card!
Mike has been on the road a lot over the last few weeks campaigning for good conservative Republicans - and he hasn't had much time to himself. But Mike hasn't complained once because he believes so strongly in the candidates he is supporting. He realizes electing conservatives is crucial so we can get this country headed in the right direction.
All you need to do is sign your name by visiting Mike's website by using the link below and then please add a personal note! I know he would very much appreciate to see your name next to mine.
Thank you so much and God Bless!
Sincerely,
Janet HuckabeeSign Mike's Birthday card here:
