It disturbs us greatly that the “elite” Republican guard feel it’s in their best interest to block the will (and right) of the people to preserve their agenda. They want to force a brokered convention to push their choice upon us. Mitt Romney has no idea what trouble he is fomenting to the Republican Party. It will be a disaster of epic proportion.

Abraham Lincoln wrote in his Gettysburg address that a house divided against itself cannot stand and that we are a government of the people, by the people and for the people.

Do not dare usurp our right to elect whomever we choose. Let the people decide.
