In our continuing look at presidential candidates, I present an email from Mike Huckabee to potential supporters. One thing I love about these things is that I am not a Republican! But, the former Arkansas governor presents his far right arguments in a nice, folksy manner.......it is certainly not the Gingrich model. This guy is smarter than the average bear! He could end up being veep very easily.

This weekend Senator Thompson on Meet the Press said he did not support constitutional amendments to protect life and marriage. Senator Thompson's comments were disappointing and disheartening for those who were expecting him to be a solid voice for conservatives. The marriage and life amendments are critical issues for those of us who have been on the front lines of these cultural battles. Sen. Thompson's philosophy seems to be more 'cut and run' when it comes to these issues, rather than stand and lead.
I've always supported the passage of a constitutional amendment to protect the right to life. As President, I will fight for passage of a human life amendment. My position on the sanctity of life has always been clear and consistent. No candidate has a stronger record on the sanctity of life than I do. As Governor of Arkansas, I successfully led efforts to promote a human life amendment and marriage amendment in my state. For me, it isn't just talk; it's a conservative record of leadership and conviction.
And unlike Senator Thompson, I never took money to lobby from an abortion rights group, and then tried to say I'd forgotten about it and it was just a lawyer representing a client. Lawyers have a right to say no to representing a client when the client is in the abortion business.
Senator Thompson's comments also come at a time when many Republican voters are beginning to consider the race for President for the first time. Voters are looking for a President that will stand and lead. They want consistency on important issues such as the sanctity of life. I have always been consistent on this issue and always will because my faith shapes me and my view of the world.
Today, I would like you to make a contribution in support of my campaign.
The amount you choose isn't as important as your making a contribution. Whether you contribute $1 (a buck for Huck), $5, $10, $25, $50, $100, $500, $1,000 or even $2,300 we will invest your support wisely as part of our campaign plan to win in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and beyond.
We have a difficult road ahead of us. The slings and stones of our attackers will increase not decrease in the days ahead. This is a good thing. Each attack makes us stronger and is proof that this campaign is alive and kicking.
We are rising, not falling and that is also a good thing.
Help send a message to other conservatives just now considering the race for President. As our polling and fundraising totals rise we are gaining more exposure in the media and among voters. Let's not stop now. Please make a contribution today towards our November budget.
With deep gratitude,

individual whose contributions aggregate in excess of $200 in an election cycle.
