Welcome.My name is Michael Cone and I appreciate your taking the time to visit my campaign website. Check back often for news and updates.
2008 is a time of sea change in America. But as the sun sets on this era, we see that the evening sky is colored red indicating smooth sailing ahead of us. We can take hold of the needed changes coming and shape them in the manner that best serves the people of South Carolina and of the United States. But to do so, we must have the leadership to help us identify and make the changes best for us rather than the current leadership which seems content to allow change to sweep over us as it will. This is our democracy and democracy is not a spectator sport. Together, there is nothing that we cannot accomplish. So join me, and let us change our state and our country for the better.
The best way for us to retake our government is grassroots organization in our precincts, our neighborhoods, our churches, our families, and our social contacts. One or two active people on each block or street can create an organized neighborhood. Organized neighborhoods lead to organized precincts and an organized precinct is invaluable to any level of campaign. When you are an active leader in the political organization of your precinct, you have true power that all candidates need to solicit. Likewise, when you have an organized group of family, friends, and churchgoers, you have the power to make your voice heard by all politicians. GI Bill Senators McCain and Graham are going to get a little touchy over their failure to support a new G. I. Bill. "I take a backseat to no one in my affection, respect and devotion to veterans. And I will not accept from Senator Obama, who did not feel it was his responsibility to serve our country in uniform, any lectures on my regard for those who did." That is what Senator McCain said after Senator Obama criticized him for not supporting a new G I Bill for today's heroes. Well, Senator McCain, I am a veteran and you will accept a lecture on the subject from me. This subject and several others as well. Because you are wrong. Senators Graham and DeMint will have to accept those lectures as well. This campaign will not be one you can just bully your way through. I am immune to angry outbursts from your short temper.
