Mike Huckabee - Arkansas for John McCain

Former Governor Mike Huckabee: With less than 30 days to go before we officially nominate John McCain at the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis, I'm writing you today to urge you to do your part to help elect John McCain as our next President of the United States. The race is in a dead heat and the work you and I do today will have a tremendous effect on the outcome of this election.

The differences between John McCain and Senator Barack Obama are clear and the voters in the great state of Arkansas will have a clear choice to make on Election Day. Simply put, John McCain is prepared to lead our country as the next president and Senator Obama is not ready to lead.

John McCain stands on the right side of the issues that matter to you. To make America less dependent on foreign oil, John McCain is in favor of increasing domestic drilling, while Senator Obama wants you to properly inflate your tires instead of drilling for more oil.

John McCain is against raising your taxes, and he wants to keep current tax rates low, and cut others, not because he wants to make the rich richer, but because he knows keeping taxes low not only keeps jobs in America but it helps to create new ones. Senator Obama says he will raise taxes only on the rich but in the Senate, he voted for tax hikes that would have impacted those taking home just $42,000 a year. He has proposed tax increases on income taxes, capital gains taxes, dividend taxes, estate taxes, and Social Security taxes. All of these tax increases are the fine print under his slogans, and they add up to more than a trillion dollars in new taxes over the next decade.

Senator Obama may be great at delivering a speech, but the policies he is proposing will cripple our state. We can't afford to stand idly by and allow him to be elected as our next president.
