Dear Mike Huckabee Blogger,

Brett Passmore and Tommy Brents, formerly of HucksArmy, have begun an effort to bring together values voters accross America. Please take a moment to review the general welcome message from the main page of our site:

*******************************************************************************************

Welcome to the F3 coalition. We’re an organization founded by true conservatives. We support candidates, legislation and education that promote our three principal values.

We believe that our mission is to inspire, educate, motivate and empower individuals to become values-voters so that they can become active in the political process.

Our vision is to have an ever increasing group of values voters who are active in promoting conservative principles in local, state, and federal governments (specifically the “f3″ values).

The F3 values mentioned above are faith, family and freedom.

* Faith - We believe faith is essential to conservatism. Only through a close personal relationship with Jesus Christ can true compassion and conservative values be understood.

* Family - We believe that the traditional family is the only means by which to enact change in a corrupt society and to bring meaningful structure to a diseased culture.

* Freedom - We believe that every living person is the legitimate creation of God and that all persons should have the freedom to worship and live without the burden of an oppressive national or world government.

If you believe in this cause and the values we espouse, then we invite you to join our fight. Hundreds of conservatives just like you have already joined our ranks and with your help we can help change the direction of American politics.

********************************************************************************************

We have already taken the Liberty of adding your blog to our blogroll at f3coalition.org, and I invite you to promote our organization on your blog using one of the banners available on our promotion page here: http://www.f3coalition.org/promote/

If for some reason you'd like to be removed from our blogroll please reply to this email or send a message to tommy@f3coalition.org. Thank you for your time and consideration of our organization.
