23 July 2008 is VERTICAL DAY!

Next Wednesday is the Huck*Pac "Vertical Day."  For those of you who don't know what this event is all about, I am posting Mike's recent email which will answer all your questions.  If you have any questions, you can leave them for me through my contact form.

Also, I have added a petition today concerning the "Fairness" Doctrine.  To read it, click here.

Update:  New Petition Alert.  Emergency Petition to Congress:  Lift ban on offshore drilling before you go on recess.  For more information, see grassfire.org.

Next week on July 23rd, Huck PAC is hosting a "Vertical Day" for candidates.

If you followed my campaign for President than you may remember the first "Vertical Day" we held on September 24 of last year. On a day when many said we should have focused on our fundraising for that "all important" 3rd quarter financial report, we instead focused on the issues. I blogged about the issues, answered questions about specific issues and used video to speak to voters about issues important to our campaign. We also featured guest blog posts from key supporters of the campaign, supportive bloggers and a guest post from Newt Gingrich. We had a great time and received lots of positive feedback from supporters.

This time, I am going to step to the sidelines and let the candidates Huck PAC has endorsed take the field. We have offered each candidate the option to blog up to 4 times about the issues that matter most to them. No fundraising appeals, no calls to action, just a simple link to their website will be added to each blog post in case you want further information. These candidates aren't just blogging to Huck PAC supporters within their home states and congressional districts, they are blogging to our community. They value what we accomplished during our campaign together and they are eager to offer their views for the way forward and their solutions to the problems we face.

I hope you will take the time to visit us next Wednesday and participate on Vertical Day. I also hope you will share that day with friends and family.

Here is a breakdown of Vertical Day information:

1) Vertical Day is July 23rd 12PM-12AM ET.

2) Each candidate has the option to blog 4 times about issues important to them.

3) We will redesign the homepage of www.huckpac.com to host Vertical Day.

4) One of the things we hope to accomplish is to introduce these candidates to you and your personal networks, facebook friends, etc. We encourage you to forward the blog posts you like to friends and family. We will actually track the "friends contacted" using our send to a friend tool and share the information with you in real time.

5) I will open and close Vertical Day with a blog posts of my own.

6) The following candidates are participating: Bob Clegg, Jim Inhofe, Lamar Alexander, John Cornyn, Steve Daines, Elizabeth Dole, Roy Brown, Gilbert Baker and Brad Lager. We will update this list on our website as Huck PAC endorsed candidates agree to participate.

7) We have asked Huck PAC bloggers to cover the event. For current information on which bloggers are participating follow my feed on Twitter. If you have a blog and are interested in covering the event read more here.


I will email you again very soon and I hope you will mark next Wednesday off on your calendars and tell your friends and family to do the same.

Thanks for all of your support,

Mike Huckabee 

Remaining Steadfast,

Dominique
