Dear editor,

As a true believer conservative, I write to my fellow North Carolina and who also identify themselves as conservatives.

The election we face this fall as true believers is the most important election in our lifetimes. As egregious as we feel we have been treated by the establishment over the past many years; as poorly as we know moderate conservatives tend to loose elections, such as McCain and Romney, we must stand firmly with Tom Tills.

Reading Michelle Obama’s comments about the fact that she will not support Democrats in her own party who did not support her school lunch program, I am reminded about the trouble absolutism can create for causes and parties.  We as conservatives, and independents like myself, and republicans, cannot allow the destruction of our country to occur because we disagree with one part or another of one of our candidate’s ideas. This said, we must rise up and go to the polls and campaign stringently for, and support Tom Tillis .  This is not believed with hesitation, as I had doubts as many hard core conservatives did, about Tillis’ conviction to conservative principles. I feared he would cave on principle, and not be a warrior like we would like, but he is a Warrior enough to stand with us on most of our principles and far greater than Obama’s pawn Hagan. As William F Buckley jr said, we must “stand athwart history and yell stop,” a vote for Tillis is standing athwart Obama and yelling stop.  So please fellow conservatives, please go to the polls, and please vote Tillis.

Highest regards.
