Mr. Cain seemed a good candidate but now that 9-9-9 has fragmented into 9-9-9, 9-0-9, and 3-3-3,
to appease various special interest groups, it has lost appeal. The idea of a European-style
national sales tax was already troubling, as was evidence that the plan may have been
borrowed from the SIMcity 2003 game. New and troubling evidence says that Godfather's Pizza
was not in bankruptcy, or anywhere near it, when he took charge as an employee of Pillsbury.
Under Cain it declined from $130m down to $30m, then he left Pillsbury, taking Godfather's
Pizza with him and continued to struggle. While Dominos dealt with similar challenges and grew,
Cain cut 50% of his stores - and the jobs that went with them - instead.
Cain has shown little understanding of foreign policy nor of the realities of domestic
policy-making, even needing to be told that the president does not sign a Constitutional
amendment. Cain simply seems unprepared for the most important job at a critically-important
moment in American and world history.

Mr. Gingrich left his seat in the US House of Representatives under an ethical cloud
and also lacks any evidence of elected executive expertise. He has, embarassingly,
struggled to even maintain stability within his campaign organization.

Other candidates include ...

Michelle Bachmann has never served as the chief executive of a state, nor has she
shown the capacity to lead any significant legislation to adoption.

Mitt Romney served as Governor of Massachusetts during which time he wrote
and passed a state-level version of Obamacare, is a member of the Mormon religion,
lost to the moribund candidacy of John McCain in 2008, faces serious questions
about his past association with Bain Capital, and has lost support in Iowa to others.

Ron Paul is a perennial candidate for President, is really a Libertarian but runs as a
Republican for political expediency, has utopian notions of foreign policy, and has
no reasonable possibility of winning either the GOP Primary or the General versus
the incumbent Democrat President Barak Hussein Obama II.

The stakes are too high for promises and wishful thinking, we've had enough of both.

We need a nominee who has successfully led as the chief executive of a State -
leading in adversity, sharing power with others, and has demonstrated an overall
movement toward increasingly-conservative leadership principles.

That is why I invite you to join me in supporting Texas Governor Rick Perry for President in 2012.
