Discussion and news about a possible 2012 Presidential campaign

By Josh Gosser.  First posting February 19, 2010.

I have started this blog to promote Newt Gingrich. My hope is that he runs for President in 2012, and that this blog can help get out the word, but if he does not, being able to promote his policies and strategies is enough for me.

Most of the updates will be focused on news and commentary from and about the former Speaker as well as opinion pieces from me.

Thanks for reading.

>In an email (3/26) Gosser stated, "I have wanted him to run since August of 2006, when I read Winning the Future."  He wrote, "I have not worked for or met him, but I did host an American Solutions workshop where I live (Topeka) in 2007."  He has also volunteered for Jim Ryun, Pat Roberts, and Sam Brownback.  Gosser also noted, "The post that has received the most hits was something I wrote about Newt's views on the flat tax and Fair Tax proposals."
