General David Petraeus for President This is America. Voting is a privilege. Every American citizen should be equally free to vote. I am making myself a promise that I will take the privilege of voting much more seriously. I will be an informed voter. I will vote for candidates with real qualifications and great "doable" ideas for the future. One concern I have is that neither of the current assumed candidates have military backgrounds. In todays environment we need someone in the White House with military experience. We have had some great presidents with impressive military backgrounds. We need David Petraeus now. This is a picture of General Petraeus and me, Darrell Griffin. I have been asked if David is a Democrat or a Republican. After much research I don't know. Socially I think he leans Democrat and fiscally and military wise I think he leans Republican. Find the entire article at PureAudacity.com as the latest blog post.

If this moves you, even in the slightest, we’re somewhat alike! We all need to get involved and stay involved in local and state politics. Whose on and running for your local school board? What about town council and Mayor? If you don’t like their agenda or even lack thereof it’s not up to others to find a suitable person to run, rather it’s up to YOU. Imagine for a moment how you, another family member, neighbor, friend or coworker would do on the school board, town council, Mayor or city Ben serve as a local state representative? Remember, you don’t need political experience to run for a political position, in fact we have way TOO MUCH political experience in political positions. Do we agree?! If you plan on getting involved and helping your local and state situation between now and our national election in November, please share and always motivate others to get involved, as you lead the way! Do you know who your county Republican Chairman is? Find out and call them! Ask them where they need help and how you can help! On local office primary election day for local Republican offices here in New Hampshire, I’ll be standing outside with signs of those I feel are the most conservative with the best agenda for success. I’ll be doing the same in November, when we vote for all offices, including President! Do you know how you’re helping yet?! ANY amount of time is better than nothing! Let’s go!! #election2024 #republicans #libertarians #conservatives #constitution #usa #freedom #trump #trump2024 #america #gop #military #army #navy #marines #airforce #coastguard #vet #vets #veterans

What May Happen if America Leaves NATO? The Republican front-runner and 45th president of the United States of America, Donald Trump, is running for election in 2024 to avenge his 2020 election defeat to the current reigning president of the USA, the 46th US President, Joe Biden. In Donald Trump’s recent campaign rallies, he has stated that European allies do not contribute enough to NATO and that the United States will not give support under a Donald Trump presidency if he wins in 2024.
