A Letter to any Candidate who hasn't Taken the 9/12 Pledge

The following letter was written to Dr. Joe Heck (Heck4Nevada on Twitter) to urge him to sign the 9/12 Candidates Pledge and commit to being more than a RINO. Feel free to use it to send to your own candidates as they start to emerge for the 2010 elections.

Dear Dr. Heck, Several times I have asked you, via Twitter, if you were willing to support the 9/12 movement and sign the 9/12 Candidates Pledge. Considering the limitations of Twitter, I am now asking you via this medium. The 9/12 pledge is very simple: there are 9 principles and 12 values that a candidate might pledge to uphold. Many candidates, deciding that we've had enough of "more of the same", have taken the pledge and are being endorsed more readily on radio and TV then their counterparts who are afraid to. Dr. Heck, I believe you are a good person and a good candidate to defeat Dina Titus; however, if you will not take the bold stance of pledging to stand by your word it will be impossible to support you and I will work towards finding a candidate who will be the Right candidate, not the Sort-of Right candidate. Please consider my words carefully. I have many local contacts who are following the 9/12 movement closely. Do not be a RINO - we will not let more of the same continue.

Respectfully,

John Galt
