You Join the National Campaign to Elect Ben Carson as the Next President of the United States Concerned Patriot, As someone interested in the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, you will certainly want to know all you can about Dr. Ben Carson and where he stands on the critical issues facing our nation. That’s what you will find out when you read his bestselling book, America the Beautiful. Ben Carson is now recognized as one of the top three contenders for the 2016 Republican nomination for President after coming in third in the 2014 CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) poll. Historically, it has been one of the top three vote getters in this annual poll that ends up as the Republican Presidential nominee. As I’m sure you recall, it was Dr. Carson that verbally dismantled Obamacare at the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast with the President sitting only a few feet away. His critique was devastating and it resulted in an editorial in the Wall Street Journal the next day that was headlined: Ben Carson for President. Since that time hundreds of thousands of Americans have been urging Dr. Carson to do just that - run for president. Sign the Petition! You can join the throngs clamoring for Ben Carson to run for President by signing the petition. In doing so, you will be “clamoring” for Ben Carson to run for President. Ben Carson has promised to run for President if the American people continue to clamor for him to do so. That’s why the National Draft Ben Carson for President Committee is collecting hundreds of thousands of petitions from Americans across our nation urging Ben Carson to run for President. My name is John Philip Sousa IV, and I am proud to serve as the National Chairman of this draft committee. And yes, I am a direct descendent of the famous March King, my great grandfather, John Philip Sousa. I believe that America doesn’t need just another politician, Republican or Democrat, as our next President. I want a man who puts America first. That’s why I strongly urge you to sign the petition encouraging Dr. Ben Carson to run for President of the United States. Please do it today. I’ll make sure your petition and your personal words of encouragement to Dr. Carson are delivered directly to him at his office in Baltimore. Personally, I believe Dr. Carson is leaning toward running. He is traveling the US giving speeches from border to border and from coast to coast. He is raising funds for candidates and joking about how he has retired and wants to improve his golf game, and then adds, “but, I can do that as President.” Ben Carson is Sure to Win! Ben Carson is not only a man of great character and principles who sees eye-to-eye with America’s Founders, he is the only candidate who is sure to be elected in 2016. Let me explain... In 2012, Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain found out something truly amazing. His internal polling not only showed that he would win more than 40% of the black vote running against an incumbent black President... It also showed that he was receiving 60% support from the Hispanic community. Do you know what this means? The Nomination of Ben Carson Makes it Mathematically Impossible for Hillary Clinton to Win in 2016 If a Republican candidate for President receives just 17% of the black vote, it becomes mathematically impossible for any Democrat to win the White House. That’s right, if a Republican candidate for President receives just 17% of the black vote, Hillary Clinton loses every single swing state. And frankly, while Herman Cain was strong candidate, Dr. Ben Carson is a revered icon in the African American community. If businessman Herman Cain could receive 40% of the black vote, Dr. Benjamin Carson would likely receive far greater support from African Americans. But, if he only receives 17% of the black vote, it becomes mathematically impossible for Hillary Clinton or any Democrat to win the White House in 2016. But, that's Not the Only Reason that Ben Carson is the Most Electable Candidate in 2016... The Republican Party has lots of great conservatives, several of whom, in my opinion, would make a great President. They are very good people. However, not one of these prospective candidates has the wit, wisdom, and persuasive eloquence of Ronald Reagan that Dr. Ben Carson possesses. It was Ronald Reagan’s power to persuade that made it possible for him to win two landslide elections to the White House. He had the amazing ability to take a complex issue and explain it in simple, commonsense terms that the average voter could understand. Dr. Carson is blessed with those same skills. In fact, he is the first candidate since Ronald Reagan who has the necessary communication skills to be elected President of the United States. There is just no one else on the scene comparable to Dr.Carson. Dr. Carson is the only candidate who can heal our nation. Sadly, for the first time in American history, the President of the United States has not tried to unify our nation, instead he has made every effort to divide our nation by setting one group against another. Barack Obama has encouraged racial strife. He has encouraged the poor to hate the successful. He has worked to create anger against men by women. He has set workers against employers. He has worked to set the young against the old. In every way possible, following the dictates of his radical idol, Saul Alinsky, he has gone about dividing Americans and creating disunity. In fact, America is more divided today than it has been since the Civil War. President Ben Carson will bring our nation together. He will work to heal our wounds, and bring about reconciliation. As a Christian, Dr. Carson rejects envy and jealously as twin evils. As an African American and a leader, and one who is respected in the black community, he will bring healing and reconciliation to our land. Ben Carson has been a healer his entire life. He will seek solutions to America’s most pressing problems, and he will do it in a way that unifies and heals, not divides and creates disunity. Ben Carson is a citizen statesman, not a politician. It was politicians, both Democrat and Republican, that created the current mess we are in. We don’t need another politician, we need a citizen statesman. Ronald Reagan was disdained as an actor when he ran for Governor of California. They said he didn’t have the skill or experience needed to run what was the 7th largest government in the world. But, relying on commonsense and Godly wisdom, Ronald Reagan turned California around and then saved the United States from economic collapse. The last non-politician that was elected President of the United States was Dwight Eisenhower, who united our nation and faced down the Soviet Union. And, by the way, Eisenhower received 39% of the African American vote. Dr. Carson is a man of great intellect, great courage, and vast commonsense. The one book he reads every day is the Book of Proverbs where he soaks in Godly wisdom. Ben Carson has far more life experience than Barack Obama had when he was elected President as a newly minted, junior Senator from Illinois. But, far more important, we need less Washington, D.C., political experience and more real world experience, Godly wisdom, and commonsense in our next President if America is to survive. Ben Carson is a trustworthy conservative. He proved that he would not compromise his values when he courageously spoke directly to President Barack Obama about the danger of Obamacare at the National Prayer Breakfast. Ben Carson also didn’t mince any words about the President’s wrongheaded redistribution of income policies when he said... “When I pick up my Bible, you know what I see? I see the fairest individual in the Universe, God, and he's given us a system. It's called tithe. Now we don't necessarily have to [make] it 10%, but it's [the] principle. He didn't say, if your crops fail, don't give me any tithes. He didn't say, if you have a bumper crop, give me triple tithes. So there must be something inherently fair about proportionality.” Any American can understand exactly what Dr. Carson was talking about. How could Hillary Clinton possibly respond to such clarity and wisdom? Ben Carson is the kind of candidate we must have if we are going to elect a solid conservative to the White House in 2016. And, if you have any doubts whatsoever about Dr. Carson’s conservative values, just look at this brief list of where he stands on today’s important issues... National Debt. Cut government spending by 10% each year, across the board, until the budget is balanced! That’s what you and I do when things are tight, and it’s what the government must do. Obamacare. Repeal it! Replace it with a free market health savings account program that begins at birth and that is owned by each citizen. Taxes. Follow the Biblical example and make it flat and make sure that everyone has skin in the game. Everyone pays. Abortion. End it now! It is barbaric, and it is not protected by the Constitution. It contributes to a growing culture of death in our society. Illegal Immigration. Listen to the American people, secure our borders. End it. Redistribution of Income. Stop it. It’s un-American and it causes universal misery as socialism always does. Welfare. Reform it with a truly compassionate, approach that works through churches and other nonprofit groups, enabling those on welfare to share in the American dream. Judges. Appoint judges committed to the U.S. Constitution. Political Correctness. It is dangerous. It hinders progress and divides our nation. It keeps us from solving problems and healing America. Right to Keep & Bear Arms. It’s a vital part of our Bill of Rights! End of story! We will not stop criminals by disarming Americans. Democrats and Republicans. Both have been part of the problem. They see themselves as masters instead of public servants. America first! Freedom of Religion. Freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion. As the Founders repeatedly said, without public virtue, freedom cannot survive. There’s only one remaining question... Will You Let Me Send You a Free Copy of America the Beautiful? You can do that by supporting this national effort with your dollars. In fact, I’m going to take a huge chance by sending you a free copy of Ben Carson’s bestselling book, America the Beautiful when you make a contribution of any amount. That’s right, no matter how much or how little you send, I’m going to send you a free copy to America the Beautiful, that not only tells the story of Ben Carson’s love for America, but also outlines his plan to save the United States and return it to greatness. So again, I’m asking you to do just two things... Sign the enclosed petition urging Dr. Carson to run for President, and Contribute today so that we can elect a great man as our next President Early contributions, like the one I’m asking you to make, made it possible for Barack Obama, a freshman Senator, to snatch the Democratic nomination away from Hillary Clinton. Those early dollars paid for a sophisticated software platform that built a powerful grassroots organization that delivered the votes in the primaries and in the general election. Your early dollars will do the same thing for Dr. Ben Carson. We have a sophisticated software platform in place and we are rapidly growing our grassroots organization, especially in the early caucus and primary states. We not only helped Ben Carson come in third in the CPAC presidential survey, we ran a special campaign in the Iowa mid-term caucuses that resulted in a Dr. Carson becoming the front runner in the Iowa.We have placed billboards in Iowa and in Maryland (near Dr. Carson’s office). And, our Campaign Director, Vernon Robinson, has crisscrossed the nation building a grassroots organization second to none. This is an all-out effort by people who love our nation, and are committed to seeing it passed along to our children and grandchildren as the great, exceptional nation they grew up in. So, if you are one of those people, won’t you please donate today? I’m hoping you will send along at least $35. But remember, I will send you a copy of Ben Carson’s book, America the Beautiful, for a gift of any amount. So please, won’t you help today? Sincerely, John Philip Sousa, IV National Chairman P.S. My great grandfather, John Philip Sousa, composed the stirring march Stars and Stripes Forever, because he loved this nation dearly. I can’t help but believe that he would have been one of the first signers on the petition if he were alive today. Won’t you please join in this great cause by signing the petition and by donating at least $35 today? No matter the amount, it will be my privilege to send along a copy of Ben Carson’s bestselling book, America the Beautiful, so you can learn what a great man Dr. Carson is. Thank you and God Bless America.
