Huckabee to Help Flip the House
Former Arkansas Governor and Fox News Host Mike Huckabee will headline a rally Saturday, October 25th at Bowman Field in Louisville. The rally is free and open to the public at 5:00. (Enter off of Cannon's Lane and follow the signs.)
Huckabee will appear on behalf of the Kentucky Rise PAC in support of its efforts to give Republicans our first GOP House in Kentucky since 1922. Kentucky Rise PAC is chaired by former U.S. Ambassador to Latvia Cathy Bailey. "In a year that is extremely crucial to our country's future, we cannot ignore the opportunity to win the Kentucky House in 2014, " Bailey said. "Governor Huckabee knows first-hand the importance of Republicans controlling both chambers of the statehouse and is committed to helping us here in Kentucky. It's imperative we create a pro-business state that could allow Kentucky to serve as a regional economic powerhouse, encouraging job creation and is committed to helping our educational system, which will provide a strong Kentucky workforce."
Now that the DSCC has fled Kentucky after Alison Lundergan Grimes's embarrassing refusal to admit she voted for Obama, it is time to focus on the State House. Huckabee's appearance comes just ten days before the election -- perfect for rallying the base to make a historic change in who governs in Frankfort.
Given that a veto by Kentucky's governor can be over-ridden by a simple majority, control or the legislative chambers is more significant in Kentucky than in most other states. It is key to transforming the Commonwealth. Huckabee and Bailey deserve our gratitude for their efforts to flip the House. Thank them in person on October 25th, 5:00 at Bowman Field.

Kentucky is ripe for a flip. Many registered Kentucky Democrats can be classified as "D.I.N.O.S."- "Democrats in Name Only." Amazingly these Democrats voted for Rand Paul and Mitt Romney in 2010 and 2012. They will tell you how much these loathe the current administration. But they will admit that they have been laggard about changing party affiliation due to their "father being a Democrat and his father being a Democrat." The case that must be made is simply, "today's Democrat party is not the party of John F. Kennedy and Harry S. Truman." It is the "party of Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi." This is Alison Lundergan Grimes Democrat party. Ideologically it is not representative of Kentucky values...
