Grist: it's gloom and doom with a sense of humor. So laugh now -- or the planet gets it.
They have posted interviews with many of the 2008 candidates, including Mike Huckabee. Mike shares his passion for the pursuit of energy independence, and why it's also a national security issue. He talks about his interest in the environment and conservation from a God-following, let's-take-care-of-His-creation angle.
He reveals this his "environmental hero" is Theodore Roosevelt (woohoo!). And he tells a humorous story about confronting litterers on a canoe trip down an Arkansas river. A very nice interview that is well worth your time to check out.

Hi Huckabee bloggers,
My name is Steve Hoven and I am a big fan of Mike's. I saw him first and was impressed with him back in Jan/Feb on "This week" when he was about to announce his bid.
Anyway I am a big supporter and have donated and was one of Mike's guests at the Dearborn Debate on Oct 9th. (I didn't get to meet him though just missed him.)
Anyway I don't have a blog but I did put a few videos on a website that I think are interesting and you may want to share with your bloggers. www.itsaboutideas.com
The top 5 GOP in their own words.
Anyway the real reason for my email is the following...
Let me be blunt. (But know it comes from the heart)
1. Mike's campaign needs more money and they need to have bigger goals. I can't do much about that. (Besides give some etc.. I guess)
2. Mike's campaign store is OVERPRICED for the average voter. $18 for a 1 sided yard sign NOT including shipping and handling COME ON!! People aren't going to pay that unless they are super diehard. Shoot I won't pay that. Bumper stickers $4 no thanks.
I decided to order from someone else.
I just ordered 241 yard signs (2 color/2 sided) at a cost of $3.05 per sign INCLUDING shipping. Add probably $2-4 to mail the sign to a supporter. (wrapped in brown paper) its roughly $5-7 including the wire stake.
Anyway the point of this email is we need that kind of thinking and work from Mike's Bloggers. Not everyone is going to be able to buy 100 signs and sell them at cost but that will definitely get things going in the right direction.
You can see a copy of the yard sign I have at www.MikeHuckabeeStuff.com
Here is the site where I bought the signs www..signelect.com. Ask for Sabrina ext 15 if you order signs she helped me out. (I ordered the plastic kind, you can order the cardboard kind which is cheaper still!) You don't have to order as many as I did but its a start. I am sure you know local people and if you have a meetup group I am sure they can buy a few signs off you.
I also bought 100 bumper stickers off a guy on ebay for $50 including shipping. (.50 each) I am sure people would LOVE to get a bumper sticker for $1 (.50 for mailing it to them and .50 for the cost.)
He is back on ebay and has 100 for sale again. (A little more expense but still a great deal considering.) Do an ebay search for Mike Huckabee bumper stickers and maybe contact him directly if you have more quantity to buy.
This spreads the word about Mike just as much as giving a $1 to huck will.
Lets go bloggers lead the way and get some cheaper tools in front of your audience.
Need help getting the bumper stickers or signs mailed? How about ask your local high school for Gov't class volunteers (kids could get extra credit) Or better yet if you have a home school building have some of those kids help out. They tend to have the same values Mike shares.
How about 15 minutes for Huck campaign. Once we have a bunch of yard signs out there. We do 1 day for 15 minutes Huckabee supporters all go to a busy intersection in their town and wave the huckabee sign for 15 minutes. Just 1 person could be seen by 100's of people in those 15 minutes. Multiply that by 100's of supporters doing it at the same time.
If it catches on could do it once a week etc..
ASK NOT WHAT MIKE HUCKABEE CAN DO FOR you, BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR MIKE HUCKABEE
Also their is a craiglist.com in everyones area clicking on the politics section there are very few posts. Perfect for a Mike Huckabee ad. (free) Not the message board part.
Let me know if I can help in anyway.
