I am going to let you in on a little legislative secret I learned during my time as Lt. Governor and Governor of Arkansas: a lot of legislation that gets submitted is like garbage. If it sits there long enough, it really starts smelling.

Now, Congress knows that the so-called stimulus bill is garbage, that's why they are trying to ram it through. The quicker it gets through, the less chance we have to realize that this legislation really stinks. Remember the bank bailout bill? It turns out that smelled worse than a landfill but we never got a chance to put our nose to the wind so to speak.

Well Congress must think we're really stupid, because they are at it again. This stimulus bill is full of pork and does little to add real jobs and spend real money on infrastructure projects that would create jobs.

In other words, a real stink bomb.

The sad truth is, we can expect more of the same out of the Democrats and President Obama. There aren't enough conservative Republicans to hold their feet to the fire and let some commonsense back into the room. And so we need to change the math up in Washington and elect some strong conservatives.

Here are three ways to help:

1. Make an immediate contribution of $5, $10, $25 or even $100 to help fund the National Volunteer Team. Our goal is to raise $25,000 by the end of this month to help our state teams pay for a booth at their GOP Convention and promote our volunteer team.
2. Sign up for the National Volunteer Team. We are over 3,000 volunteers and have set a goal of 4,000 volunteers by the end of February.
3. After you sign up or if you already have, find three friends who are willing to join you. Ask them to help you change the math up in Washington! Tell them to sign up at www.huckpacvolunteer.com and after they do, ask them to find three friends as well.

We do have the power to change the math on Election Day. It is just going to take a lot of hard work. I am up for it and I hope you are as well. Help me make certain we have the financial and grassroots resources we need to make a difference in local elections in 2009 and 2010.

Make a contribution of $5, $10, $25 or even $100 today. Each dollar we raise during the month of February will pay for the outreach efforts of our Volunteer team at their local GOP conventions.

Fighting to change the math,

Mike Huckabee
