Minor Campaign Event – Fort Sumter, SC

Jack Jenkins walked slowly to the podium erected for today’s rally at Fort Sumter, overlooking the Charleston Harbor. He paused, soaking in the majesty of the scene, then looked out at the members of the AMVets, the VFW and other veterans, in addition to his other well-wishers, a sea of people screaming and waving signs. He then began to speak:

“Almost 150 years ago, at this very spot, the courage of men led to one of the most decisive and divisive moments in our nation’s history. When the confederate batteries opened fire on this fort, it showed something. The willingness of our fighting men to stand up for what they believed in, and defend it with their lives, This is true of both sides. You are the embodiment of that courage, the living soul of this nation. It is because of that fact that I ask once more for you to serve your country, and show that courage. Vote Democrat, and right the wrongs that have been done in the name of that flag, especially to you, its veterans, its beating heart.”

“The Republicans traditionally have been the party of the soldier. And yet, once that soldier retires, they ignore them. Poor healthcare, poor pensions, and no help to homeless veterans. That needs to change, and the GOP won’t do it. My fellow Democrats and I will. The motto of the Rangers, with whom I served, was Rangers Lead the Way. The Democrats are going to do just that, and lead America to a better tomorrow, one where Veterans get the honor they deserve. ”

*the crowd cheers, and Jenkins waves as he begins to make his way through the crowd, shaking hands and talking with his supporters as he makes his way to his car to head to his next engagement*

Minor Event: Outside Fort Benning, Georgia

Speaking to a group of current soldiers, press and other well-wishers following Representative Jenkins on his campaign, Jenkins walked to the podium at ease, comfortable, focused and looking stern. As he began to speak, a hush fell over the excited crowd, eager to hear the words of the former Army Ranger.

“Prior to the biggest wars our country ever fought, the two World Wars, the United States was in both instances an isolationist nation, focusing on bettering itself. When the call finally rang through to defend freedom, in the guise of the sinking of the Lusitania and the bombing of Pearl Harbor, we responded with strength, courage and determination to finish the job no matter what. In our current era, we do not have the luxury of being an isolationist nation. The world is shrinking, and we must be ever vigilant to enemies of the peace and freedom that world so desperately needs.”

“I support our military, and I support proactive defense and foreign policy. There is a difference, however, between being proactive, and being reckless with American lives. The majority of casualties during Operation Iraqi Freedom were encountered not during the initial combat, but due to the lack of an exit strategy for the operation. Iran and Syria do require swift action given their potential nuclear threat, which according to the Republican government has been verified by accurate intelligence. In acting however, we should not abandon diplomacy, we should not abandon the dream of Woodrow Wilson and FDR, those visionary leaders of our country in our times of greatest strife, that is the United Nations, and we should not put ourselves in a situation where the operation results in needless casualties. To avoid those, we need an exit strategy, clear objectives, and quality operational intelligence, and proper equipment. I don’t ask that our country does not defend its interests, but instead that we do it professionally as soldiers should, and efficiently.”

Jenkins stepped down from the podium, and walked back to his car, stopping to shake hands and meet the fine men who defend our country.

Topic: Family Values

McLaughlin took with the backdrop of Cinderella's castle. After greeting guests and supporters, he spoke to the gathering crowd of families.

It is wonderful that you've brought your family to his magical place. I can't remember any better vacation from my childhood than my entire family saving up to come here.

My friends, our nation was founded on values that have lasted over two centuries. Personally, I believe it to be a testament that our communcations, our research,and our technology has changed so much but our nation's core values, our family traditions have remain so well preserved. If we intend on preserving our values for our children, we need more people to stand up for our family values. I am that person.

Our culture is unique and we must embrace and protect it. I am the person to led the battle against liberals who wish to see good American values drained from our society. I ask you to support me for Senate.

Thank you, and may God Bless America.

Man: "I'm one..."

Narrator: "A lot of people in America are."



Woman: "I'm one."

Narrator: "However, they can't say it openly. They don't think it's polite."



Couple: "So are we."

Narrator: "The Republican Party has a confession to make to America."

CHAIRMAN MCLAUGHLIN: "It's true. The Republican Party is fiscally responsible. And like a lot of Americans, that means we're concerned about how your tax dollars are spent! In Washington, D.C., the Republican Party just approved the most fiscally responsible budget in decades. We've cut over 90 billion dollars from the deficit, given you permanent tax relief and ensured important areas like education and our military were well funded."

Narrator: "Be fiscally responsible! Vote Republican on Election Day.

Democrat TV ad in the Southeast: $595,000

Narrator: They paid $5 billion dollars over three years to Boeing to NOT build the military a radio.



They've spent over $160 billion dollars on a third of supposed $90 billion dollar project, a project recently voted out of existence in a bipartisan effort in the House.



In order to reduce the gigantic deficit they've run up since they first took power in 2000, they've cut funding to low income families.



They abandoned those same families in their time of need in 2005 following the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina, refusing to send significant aid in a relief effort.



They have the gall to say that they're fiscally responsible, and that they support families.

They're Republicans.

On Election Day, follow the men that care about families, and care about reducing government waste.

Vote Democrat

We are the Democrats, and We lead the way.

Major Endorsement for Jack Jenkins: $5,950,000

Former President and Proud Georgian Jimmy Carter Supports Jenkins and Dems in Upcoming Election.

Jimmy Carter held a public rally today at the Carter Library in Atlanta, Georgia. He came out in support of the Georgian representative for the 5th district and House Minority Leader, former Colonel “Diamond” Jack Jenkins and the Democrats. He spoke at length regarding the need for change in America, about how the Republicans and other groups have endangered the values that America was built on.

“Congressman Jenkins is a man who has seen the fire of war, and has come through it a stronger man. He understands the necessity of defending oneself from one’s enemies. He understands the need to give our soldiers the best weapons, the best armor and the best information available to give them every opportunity to succeed. He also understands that America can impose unilateral punishment to its enemies without the help of foreign countries.”

“However, he sees, as I see, that the UN and other diplomatic efforts as a tool of strength that can be used to our advantage. It is not weakness to speak with the international community, in fact, it shows our strength, and conviction in our actions, and dedication to resolving our problems satisfactorily, leaving no stone unturned in our quest for justice. In the words of former Senator John McCain, ‘The enemy we fight has no respect for human life, or human rights. They don’t deserve our sympathy. But this isn’t about who they are. This is about who we are.” Jack Jenkins is a man who will not allow our country to lower itself to the level of the men we fight. We fly the flag of the United States. That is a fact of which we are all proud. Jack Jenkins is a man who works to keep that flag from becoming a source of shame.”

“The Republicans who are currently in charge of our nation claim to be in full support of the family unit. Since they came to power in 2000, however, that has been empty rhetoric. They have cut funding to low income families. They refused help to those who needed it following the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina. Well, I know for a fact that before he was elected to the House, Jack Jenkins volunteered his time on several occasions to relief efforts, and to aiding Habitat for Humanity. He is strong in his belief that the strength of our families are our most important asset. Blood, after all, is stronger than water. He will not abandon those families as the Republicans have.”

“Diamond Jack, as his fellow Rangers call him, has led a life in which he has unswervingly stayed dedicated to his country, his God, his family, the men under his command, and now his constituents in our 5th congressional district. He will fight to turn Republican waste into government services. He will fight to keep America strong, and he will lead the way. I fully support his campaign, and that of his fellow democrats. Given a congressional majority, America will be the shining light on the hill that it hasn’t been under Republican leadership.”

Congressman McLaughlin goes on a Regional Tour of the Southeast talking about the Republican Party's support for family values. ($11,900,000)

DAY 4: Atlanta, Georgia
Minor Event at the Atlanta Church of God
Topic: Family Values

McLaughlin was invited to the pulpit to discuss family values with the congregation.

I learned what American values meant at my family dinner table. At the table, my parents taught me that God gives us free will to make the right choices. I choose to stand for true American values. Together, we can preserve American values for our own children. We can promote a culture of life by reducing the demand for abortion, by informing women about the consequences of abortion, increasing the benefits of adoption and providing pre-natal care.

I will support voluntary in-school prayer. Prayer characterizes our nation as a reflective, moral society. These silent moments of reflection will help our young children to create a moral society for the future. Every day I pray to God for the strength to do what is right. Every day, I try to do what is right for the Southwest and our American family values.

Thankyou, and may God Bless America.

Minor Event – AFL-CIO in Nashville, TN

Representative Jack Jenkins held a rally today with leaders and members of the AFL-CIO and other local unions today, extolling the need to keep corporate bigwigs at bay, and protect the working man.

“Under Republican leadership, corporate leaders have run wild, exploiting and deceiving their workers while embezzling to line their own pockets. Tyco, Enron, Worldcom, and the list goes on. Millions of dollars stolen from their own companies, at the expense of workers simply because they needed seven cars, or 25 bedrooms. The Democrats will not stand for it, and if you vote Democrat on Election Day, we will propose stricter legislation when it comes to white collar crime.”

“We will not let the Republicans continue to pass soft legislation on these issues. The backbone of the American Dream has always been hard work. It’s hard work that gets you to where you want to go. It is YOU that embody this dream. You are the bedrock of our nation, its solid core, and we want to make sure that you aren’t crushed underneath all of the sleaze in corporate America. Vote Democrat on Election Day, we’re leading the way to a better America.”

Jenkins stepped down from the podium, waving to the massed throngs who were waving signs saying "Democrats Lead the Way," "Diamond Jack's on the Attack," and "Evict Slick Rick's Cronies."

Election Day is coming, and everywhere people are cheering!

Young...






and old!




People across the country are celebrating because they know that they can vote for a party that truly represents them. A party that can keep America strong without compromising her values.

A party that knows that America isn't about hostility and paranoia. These are people who remember that America is about being positive and generous. People who remember that the United States of America isn't a model to the rest of the world just because of all the weapons we can make, but also because we know how to have a good time.



The Republicans want you to think our country is going down the tubes. We're hear to tell that it isn't. America is strong and her people just as kind and community oriented as they've ever been. So stand up and show the world what America really stands for. Let's relight the beacon of liberty and show the Republicans what we're really made of!

Vote Democrat and join the party!
