Yesterday was so much fun! I am one of the South Carolina State Coordinators for Team Huck, Governor Mike Huckabee’s Political Action Committee. The Governor is on a bus (the Huckabus!) book tour for his new book, A Simple Christmas. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you should. It will make a great Christmas gift!

Yesterday he was in Atlanta at Borders Books in Buckhead. Not only was he doing a book signing there, he was also taping today’s Huckabee show, and guess what? I was invited! My husband even got to tag along! We met our other two SC State Coordinators there, DeLinda Ridings and Steven Shumpert. The show was taped in the Borders and besides being 200 degrees in there, it was a hoot! I’ve never been to a “real” taping of a show and it was really interesting to see how it all comes together. My husband wouldn’t let me run out and buy a last-minute gorgeous outfit, but I’m happy with the cute black jacket with leather trim I pulled out of my closet. I wish I hadn’t worn a pony tail though but my curly hair was not being cooperative and we were running late!

Paula Deen was a guest on the show so that was a double dose of happiness for me! She’s as funny in person as she is on TV and man… does that lady have some white teeth! They practically blinded me. As did her very big, very sparkly, very lovely diamond ring. Whew!

After the show taping, we went upstairs for the book signing. The three of us chatted with David Huckabee, the Governor’s son and mini-me, while the Governor finished up signing books. My precious husband was busy snapping pictures!

Then it was the moment I had been waiting for… one-on-one time with my hero! Governor Huckabee is as humble, nice, sweet and smart as I had hoped he would be. We chatted about South Carolina, the political races here and some future plans he has for the Palmetto State. Shhhh…. it’s a secret. You’ll just have to stay tuned.

He was very gracious with his time, especially considering he still had another bus stop that night and he was already late.

It was a long day of driving and sitting, but it was worth every minute! If you see the show (airing tonight), my husband and I are on there a lot. My son said he thought I’d be more famous than I actually was (apparently he had it in his mind that I was actually going to be interviewed) but my daughter said I was more famous than she thought. It’s a tough crowd in my house!

Thanks, Governor Huckabee, for the invitation and a wonderful day!

My political career begins….

I’m so excited! I was recently appointed to be a State Coordinator for South Carolina for Team Huck. Team Huck was founded by Mike Huckabee in an effort to bring conservative Christian values back to our country. I will be one of four state coordinators organizing and rallying the Republicans of our state to come together and get this country back on the right track. We are tasked with organizing the grassroots in our state of South Carolina but every state has a team. Our goal is to have a Group of Volunteers form in every county in the country.

 Quick Note: If you are a Democrat or generally not a supporter of the Republican party, you can just bypass this post altogether. I’m not interested in debating. What makes our country so great is that we are allowed to have differing opinions and a passion for our beliefs. These are my beliefs and I am passionate about them. And as this is my blog, I can express them here. If you are passionate about your own beliefs and they are different from mine, that’s fine with me. I would never presume to tell anyone what they should or shouldn’t believe in. That’s a personal choice. This is mine and I hope it will be respected. Anyway…. back to me being excited!

Here’s what we are doing:

 Team Huck’s mission is to elect strong, common-sense Republicans who support the sanctity of life, traditional marriage, lower taxes, fiscal sanity and a strong national defense. Huck PAC is founded on the principles that make America great: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Our Republican Party embodies these ideas and is best suited to lead America forward.

Huck PAC is committed to helping Republicans regain control of the House and Senate, and regain a majority of governorships and supporting conservative principles around the country. Huck PAC will support Republican candidates who are passionate advocates for tax reform, a strong national defense, real border security, life, the family, less government, and individual liberty.

As part of our effort to support strong Republican candidates, we have formed Team Huck. Team Huck is a grassroots volunteer organization devoted to helping Huck PAC find, endorse, and elect Republican candidates who share our principles. Huck PAC will identify candidates who hold firm to these principles, promote their campaigns and financially support their efforts. Our goal is to identify and support candidates in every state in the country. You can see which candidates we have endorsed by clicking on the candidates section of our website, or by clicking on your home state image in the Team Huck headquarters section of our website.  Huck PAC endorsed candidates must be pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, a fiscal conservative and a strong advocate for lower taxes.

Let me know if you have a candidate you would like Team Huck to endorse.

I decided that the direction my country is headed in is not where I want to go.  In fact, it’s so far off track that it’s starting to be hard to recognize our country anymore. Between the multi-billion dollar bailouts, attacks on religious freedom, the war against traditional marriage and freedom in parenting and many others, I was getting more and more frustrated. I’ve always voted. People who know me know I have always been a big supporter of my party and my beliefs. But it’s not enough. I made the decision to get off the sidelines and become more active in protecting my rights as a Christian and a parent and in promoting candidates who share my values and beliefs. If you would like to join us, please go to www.teamhuck.com . Go to the Headquarters and click on your state to see what is happening there.

If you would like to make a donation to HuckPac and Team Huck, please click here. All money collected will be used to support  local candidates and strengthen the effort in your local community.

Next Thursday I have the opportunity to attend a private reception in Charlotte for Team Huck and meet Mike Huckabee in person. From what I understand, many of the major Republicans in North and South Carolina will be there along with some other celebrities. I can’t wait! If only Jon Bon Jovi weren’t a democrat….

My only concern now is finding the perfect outfit. I’m all for traditional values but a girl has to look good too! And I’m pretty sure I need new shoes…
