I contacted Mike about a question I had...

Around 10/8/07 I wrote to Mike with a question, here is the email and reply:


Team Huckabee,

My girlfriends parents are both union workers and because of this they
have a hard time voting Republican. Actually that is an understatement,
truly the despise Republicans especially Reagan. They are socially, and
economically(taxes) conservative but due to the propaganda fed to them
by union leaders they vote strait party ticket for Democrats every
election.
I would like to hear about what Mike thinks about on the issue of Union
rights and what could he do to win their vote?

Thanks and Gig'em
Clayton Mercer '10

ps When you coming to Texas A&M?


The reply from Team Huckabee:

Hey Clayton,

Thank you for your interest in Gov. Huckabee's campaign for president! With respect
to your question regarding the Governor's position on union rights, this is an issue
of great importance to him. The Governor respects the right of workers to organize
and, as you can see in his answer to the union question on the recent Republican
debate in Michigan, his blue collar background gives him a unique ability to
understand and relate to the interests of working-class Americans.

Incidentally, Gov. Huckabee has received the endorsement of the Machinists Union,
one of the largest and most prominent labor organizations in the country. Gov.
Huckabee is the first Republican to receive this group's endorsement in well over
100 years! Given his conservative positions on social issues and his innovative
ideas for tax reform, he's the candidate that it sounds like your girlfriend's
parents should rally behind with full enthusiasm!

Again, the Governor appreciates your interest in his campaign. He also needs your
support! Please continue to check the website, and I urge you to take advantage of
opportunities to contribute in various ways, whether through monetary donations,
volunteering in your area, or just spreading the word to vote Huckabee for
President!

Best regards,

Jared Morris
Huckabee for President, Inc.

PS-Scheduling is very tight right now, but hopefully Gov. Huckabee can make it to
College Station one day soon!


Mike once again you amaze me!!! Its a long hard road to victory in '08 but I'm in it with you. Thanks for the quick response.
