Rudy reads from a card with his 12 commitments on it

in Davenport Thursday.

Wednesday and Thursday marked a busy two day schedule in Iowa for Rudy. Many people tell me Rudy needs to be in Iowa more - and he will be. But to contrast him to Mitt isn’t fair. Mitt is running what could be described as a successful two state campaign (strategically focusing on Iowa and New Hampshire) - Rudy is running a 50 state campaign and doing well.

This is the fourth time I’ve seen Rudy in person and his message is more focused and stronger each event. I would consider anyone who wants a President who is tough on the war on terror, and understands the government should work FOR the people not the people for the government - look at Rudy. I have been telling people the 2008 election is the most important in my lifetime, and I believe that sincerely.

We met at Brandt Printing on Hickory Grove in Davenport. Shift work stopped for several hours, and Rudy was ON TIME!

His talks are focused on one of the 12 commitments. You can read more here. In Davenport he spoke about most of them, but his focus was on energy independence.

This is one of his more important commitments, as he believes it to be obscene that we are paying people who hate us for a commodity that we can replace. He compared the need for the commitment to putting a man on the moon.

Energy independence needs to be a national challenge and we are up to meeting that challenge. That challenge will be met by many substitutes for oil from the middle east.
