In today's world, where the Press has delivered us the worst possible Republican nominee, what is a true conservative to do on election day?

The answer, of course, is to do everything you can to minimize the damage. Sitting home and sighing that "we're screwed" will just ensure that we are.

I know it will pain many of us greatly to go and vote for John McCain, but, the alternative (a Democratic president) is unthinkable.

With McCain we won't have the best conservative but it will be better than Barack. But, most importantly, getting up off our couch and going to the polls will allow us to vote for Republican candidates for the House and the Senate and even state and local Republicans. By going to the polls we can help to determine how easy it is for any president to get his way with Congress. By supporting Republican candidates we have a real chance of narrowing or even eliminating the Democratic lead in both houses of Congress which will go a long way towards allowing us to keep the pressure on to ensure they follow the will of the people.

The key is to stay involved, at all levels. Whether it is by making phone calls, donating to the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee or the National Republican Senatorial Committee, it is the only way we can move our values, our beliefs, our issues forward.

So, Be strong and stand up for what we believe in and GO VOTE!
