Dear Linda,
        The way the talking heads are talking on TV Pat is finished as a Republican because of his new book and stand on free trade. There is a window of opportunity now in the Reform Party. Many us in Tennessee are trying to get the Reform Party on the ballot because we support Pat. So, Go Pat Go!
      -- John T. Fey - Tennessee Brigade

Dear Pat,
        I wish I had more to give you, Pat. You've inspired me and gave me hope through your books and your message. Keep up the good work, Pat. You are a great American.
      -- Paul Sandefur - Retail Worker - Ramsey, NJ

Dear Pat,
        May God bless you and your family in this endeavor. I wish I could do so much more to help. Keep up the good fight. You are a true inspiration. Thank you for representing so eloquently, the decent, yet quiet to a fault, people who wish to see a great future for America for their children and grandchildren. I can't say enough. Sincerely,
      -- Robert W. Griffith - Accountant - Pasadena, CA

Dear Pat,
        The book is great. From a 2 time NH Brigade member, IT IS TIME TO GO!!! See you at the Reform Party Convention!
      -- Sean Shea - VP of Sales - Milford, NH

Dear Brigade,
        Senate Chaplain Peter Marshall was famous for his words of inspiration from the floor of the Senate chamber. One of his favorite recitations was this poem by Josiah Gilbert Holland:

God, give us men! A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor; men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demagogue and damn
His treacherous flatteries without winking!
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking.

GO PAT GO !!
      -- Eric E. Walter

Dear Linda,
        I agree it's a "big tent" the Republicans have. It includes everyone but BenLaden. If your sole objective is simply to win at any cost, what's the point?
      -- Ronald Slade

Dear Brigaders,
        I've been a Pat supporter since '92 when I did volunteer work in his campaign office, and have organized and worked neighborhoods for Pat in '96 here in Florida...In a personal letter I asked Pat to consider using what leverage he had to influence the Republican front-runner to directly address the issues that concern us Brigaders. Should Pat actually go to the Reform Party, I may not be able to continue my support for him.
      -- George Kepler - Naples, Florida

Dear Linda,
        MSNBC had Al Sharpton bad mouthing Pat to the nth degree last night. No one even dared to ask him if he read Pat's book!
      -- Scott Lesser - Stress Analyst - Wichita, KS

Dear Pat,
        Perhaps the third time will be a charm. I was with you twice before and am still hanging in. The party has nominated no REAL winner since Reagan and I am about to bolt.
      -- Lora Huston - Lake Geneva, FL

Dear Pat,
        Give em hell! and Don't let up!
      -- Arlon Smith - Bloomington - IN

Dear Brigade,
        Remember the following as forces combine to destroy the character of a man whose moral walls are unassailable:

Submitted as defense exhibit #1 a directive from the Communist Party in 1943 to its members in the United States:
"When certain obstructionists become too irritating, label them, after suitable build-ups, as fascist or Nazi or anti-Semitic, and use the prestige of anti-fascist and tolerance organizations to discredit them. In the public mind constantly associate those who oppose us with those names which already have a bad smell (Hitler)...The association will, after enough repetition, become "fact" to the public mind."
(Propaganda and the Alert Citizen, House Committee on Un-American Activities, Washington, D.C., September 23, 1956).
Yours in allegiance to our Republic,
      -- Joe Wolverton - Memphis, TN

Dear Pat,
        You are needed in this race, even if the odds against you are long, if for no other reason than to give the American people a genuine choice and to articulate the issues that you alone seem to understand and care about. In your absence there will be no genuine pro-life candidate, and not even a nominal pro-sovereignty and pro-economic independence candidate. May God assist you in this difficult decision. By the way, the lady who had a message posted earlier calling for a prayer and fasting Brigade should be taken seriously. I would be interested to know of any effort to set up a group.
      -- Carson Holloway - Professor of Political Science - Athens, WV

Dear Brigade,
        No matter what party, Buchanan has my vote! I am tired of the same old #$%&!! in politics, tired of people saying what they think after they have determined what we think. How about someone you might disagree with a small percentage of the time, but whom you know to be telling the truth as he sees it 100% of the time!!??!! Go Pat!!
      -- Rennie Smith, Fort White, FL

Dear Pat,
        I agree with most everything you stand for and will support you where ever you end up, but why not the U.S. Taxpayers party? You fit into their platform very well as opposed to the Reform party.
      -- Jay Bieber - Auto Worker - Freeport,IL

Dear Linda,
        Just sent another donation. I wish I could give more! Pat Buchanan is a unique statesman who dwarfs everyone on the scene today -- political or otherwise. Plus, incredibly, he displays a strong moral conscience along with the political acumen to win the presidency and guide our country back to the high road.
      -- Dennis McCoy

Dear Linda,
        What Rush ignores is that the laying of tariffs by the federal government is exactly constitutional, it is not 'big government intrusion'. 'Conservatism' (literally) means the preservation of original intent, does it not?
      -- William Murray - Rockwall, TX

Dear Linda,
        Oh, to live long enough to see and hear Pat Buchanan debate in an honest word fray with the present presidential candidates who not only do not inspire, but make me want to ... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Go-Pat-GO!
      -- Gene Malone - Kenosha, WI

Dear Linda,
        I am a Buchanan supporter and an admirer of Dan Quayle. Please tell Pat that his statement was a good and fair appraisal of the vice-president. The statement says a lot about both men. Incidentally, Cal Thomas' plea to Pat in "World" is misplaced. This plea should have been made to the party leaders. In any event, Cal under-estimates by many multiples Pat's support. Go Pat Go,
      -- Charles Parlato

Dear Linda
        Sent this to Rush - FYI.
Dear Rush, You have become the champion of the status quo. You are now doing what you have always decried the Democrats and Clinton defenders for doing - trashing one who disagrees, and is considered a threat to your man or his politics - and in doing so, you have lost your credibility with me. Your claim of 20,000,000 listeners is now down to 19,999,999! Goodbye Rush.
      -- Fred Buck - Del City, OK

Dear Pat,
        I think that it is imperative that you leave the Republican Party and make your move to the Reform Party. Go Pat Go.
      -- James McRae - Writer - Burbank, CA

Dear Brigade,
        I'm a social libertarian, so naturally I disagree with some of Pat's stances on moral issues. However, Pat is the only person running for president who is willing to stand up and protect this country from traitorous globalists and free-traders in this country who don't think twice about undermining American sovereignty. I'm with Pat until the end, and he has my vote.

You might ask yourself what makes me, a social libertarian, support a conservative like Pat Buchanan? I look at it this way: if we don't send the globalists packing, controversial subjects such as abortion, civil rights, drug and gun issues WON'T be decided by our elected officials. It will be decided FOR US by the United Nations General Assembly.
      -- Michael Passmore - Quincy, IL

Dear Pat,
        With you leading the charge, we won't have to worry about bowing down to Strobe Talbott any time soon, nor to his supporters like John McCain (who owes you an apology). With the beautiful Bay holding down the fort, we won't have to worry about the faint-of-heart "rushing" away from the Front!
      -- James P. Koy - Los Angeles, CA

Dear Linda,
        If other Internet Brigade members are like me - and forward your BRIGADE emails around - then your efforts are multiplied more than you'll ever know. Keep up the good work - your efforts are truly appreciated.
      -- Tim Miller - Arkansas Brigade

Dear Linda,
        This is a note I sent to Rush:
Dear Rush, I was watching you on Paula Zahn (Edge) and had to leave the room before I got even more fed up with your slow-witted remarks. You said that "conservative" meant less government. Well we conservatives agree with you. But when you said Pat Buchanan is trying to put more government in our lives, and I turned off your show. Pat Buchanan said tariffs will protect American jobs and American businesses. Try running your fingers through the history books once in a while.
      -- Henry S. Watson - Linden, MI

Dear Linda,
        I have to tell you, I have lost all respect for Rush. He has joined the long list of the establishment Republican politburo at the expense of real ideals and values. His anti-PJB rhetoric just keeps going and going, even after the great PJB interview ... PJB can not only get more votes than Perot, he can really win. This country needs him more than in any time in our modern history and I hope his first act, as President is to fire Strobe Talbott from the State Department.
      -- Tom Bennett - Coral Springs, FL

Dear Pat,
        God bless you! You are one hell of a man the way you have taken on these media morons. I laughed out loud when you were on Geraldo's show and told him his view of your book was the characterization of a simpleton and that one of his questions was silly "even for him." You have them running scared Pat! I can't wait to read your new book "A Republic Not An Empire." It's interesting that in the wake of some of the worst espionage and treachery ever committed against the United States by leftists in high government positions, that the real threat to this country is a patriot.

While I agree that these moderates have taken over the party and have nothing but contempt for us, it pains makes me to think that if you leave they will own the party with all its infrastructure and benefits. Perhaps you should stay and continue the fight to take over the hearts and minds of the dopes who keep nominating liberal Republicans. Perhaps it's too late. I know it is an anguishing decision and I hope that with God's grace you make the right one. Either way you have my support. Sincerely,
      -- Tom Gray - Toms River, NJ

Dear Pat,
        As a Captain in your West Michigan Brigade, I can tell you many of us in this area are all fired up at the thought of you going to the Reform Party. I view you as a modern day Stonewall Jackson. You fight for our conservative views and you don't move an inch. When your brigade members see you, we can't help but rally around you and fight all the more harder for our values.

I can tell you Pat, there are a lot of people out there who are very disappointed with both parties, and I know you have a shot of winning the general election. I'm with you all the way whatever party you go to. Keep the faith, and as your Dad told you, "Keep fighting Pat!"
      -- For The Cause, Shawn James Haff

Dear Pat,
        It is about time that a presidential candidate realizes that the MOST important issue facing this country today is creating real opportunity for the people who live in America. This means keeping the good jobs here--not moving them to China or Korea. If the current trend continues there will be no more middle class as we know it in this country. Only "haves and have nots." It is good to see a candidate who is genuinely serious about these issues--not a candidate who pays lip service to them to get "Middle America's" votes. The population in the United States is only going up, and with good jobs leaving every day to the "slave labor" of the far-east, there will not be much left unless someone takes a stand and protects America's greatest interest -- the well being of her citizens. All of her citizens. Keep hammerin' away Pat!!!
      -- Jeff Bacon, - Lansing, MI

Dear Linda,
        Pat is lucky to have you and so are we. The Website gets better every week. What an exhilarating couple of weeks! Pat has knocked all other candidates off the air. The attack dogs on the left (Dershowitz, Rivera, Newfield, Wills, Erik-Nelson, the Roberts) and on the "right" (Bennett, Kristol, Safire, Huffington) were out in full force and Pat single-handedly routed each one. By the way, who made Arianna Huffington a pundit, anyway? Pat really put Chris Matthews, John McCain, and Bill Kristol in their places. Pat truly stands tall.
      -- Gerald De Maio - Brooklyn, NY

Dear Mr. Buchanan,
        Rebuild this social experiment of a military. It's about time a TRUE conservative stood up and started firing back at the decay in Washington. GOD BLESS YOU....
      -- Kevin Siegmund - U.S. Army - Ft. Drum, NY

Dear Pat,
        I heard you speak on CNN Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer recently. I have followed you for years and watched as other politicians and some members of the media have distorted your views. I do not agree with all of your views. However, it is clear to me that you are under attack mostly because your opinions are considered dangerous by a small minority of very wealthy Americans and other narrow interest groups who are more interested in profits than in the welfare of the American people. I hope that you are able to shift the political center in this country so that those of us who want to put the American people first will one day have the power to do so. Keep fighting and please never give up.
      -- Christopher Grey - Investor - Hermosa Beach, CA

Dear Pat,
        It is obvious to me that the media and those who use the media to influence (and not to inform) voters are afraid that you have the potential to win the Presidential Election of 2000, and would make changes which would upset their power structure.
      -- Dr. J. Scott Appling - Physician - New Smyrna Beach, FL

Dear Mr. Buchanan,
        I am an Atheist. I don't support your platform. I am contributing to your campaign because you are intellectually superior to all of the other candidates. In this hostile world, I can put my mind at ease with you as our leader. Go Pat.
      -- Brad Wyatt - Network Engineer - Ventura, CA

Dear Pat,
        I supported you in 92' and 96', and I was with you on the day you won the Louisiana primary and you started on your way to New Hampshire. It was a thrilling day. But our Republican friends in their mansions on the south side never forgave us. I am a Catholic scholar, and I say in all modesty that you have signaled in the political sphere, the wrong-headedness and acquiescence that is so prevalent today. What are we to do? The air is charged, the circumstances advantageous, and the moment is at hand for a move to a new party.
      -- James Miguez - Lafayette, LA

Dear Pat,
        I am renewing my pledge. You are the only candidate out there saying the ideas I want to have expressed. The Republicans are giving you hell right now, but hang in there. If you have to leave the Republican Party to keep the message pure, so be it. I along with millions of others will follow you to the Reform Party.
      -- Dean Warner - Banking Industry - Temple City, CA

Dear Linda and Pat,
        I just wanted to say 'kudos' to Bob Novak for the way he defended Pat Saturday on 'Meet the Press'. I think it was the most vigorous defense I've seen by anyone other than Pat himself. It's become obvious to me that the Republican and Democrat parties are simply two wings of the same party. In '96 I voted for Dole (rather than my conscience) because I still recognized a difference between the two parties. Next year, I'll be voting my conscience for certain. Go Pat go.
      -- Brian Eubanks - San Diego, CA

Dear Pat,
        I have given Rush my official resignation as a Ditto-head. When a conservative has to choose between you and anyone - you win every time. Rush could not do what you do even in his wildest dreams - I sense jealousy from his part because he can't command the loyalty of millions like you can. Also, McCain made a huge mistake by attacking your book without reading it. For America - GO PAT GO!
      -- David Melton - College Student - Carrollton, GA

Dear Pat,
        All the commentators wondering whether you'd take more support from the Republicans or the Democrats have missed a key point. Voter turnout has been at absurdly low levels in recent elections--maybe 30-35 percent. A Buchanan candidacy--the ONLY exciting thing in an otherwise inane election season--would certainly energize people who otherwise would have sat out the election entirely and/or who haven't bothered voting in years. Once they see a serious person running, who actually has a different point of view and doesn't speak in bumper-sticker slogans, they will come out. Wishing you all the best.
      -- Thomas E. Woods, Jr. - Coram, NY

Dear Pat,
        The one thing I wish every American would do this election is simply vote his or her conscience; his or her TRUE conscience, whether that means a vote for Pat Buchanan or not. The integrity of our elections absolutely depends upon it, since to vote otherwise is a kind of dishonesty to oneself and one's neighbors and it's difficult for me to see how dishonesty can ever breed good government. This is the main reason why I have grown increasingly disdainful of parties and the corruption they bring and, consequently, I will support your move away from the Republican Leviathan, Pat, if that is what you decide to do. I am no longer willing to be blackmailed into voting for men who do not represent me while men who do are alive and kicking.
      -- Jim Newland, Jr. - Santa Clarita, CA

Dear Pat,
        Keep fightin' Pat. God Bless.
      -- Jeffrey Furlong - Engineer - Rogers, MN

Dear Linda,
        I sent this letter to Mr. Medved:
Dear Michael Medved, thanks for having Pat Buchanan on your show for a full hour. Your doing that prompted me to grant you a plenary indulgence for all the exasperating things you have said on your very entertaining show.

But I must take issue with the lines of discussion, which followed Pat's appearance. First, while you were extremely polite with Pat, you didn't ask him any of the hard questions for which you now bash him relentlessly for failing to answer. It strikes me as grossly unfair that you failed to raise these questions when Pat had a golden opportunity to answer them. Please be tough but fair with Pat and all the other candidates. Your fan,
      -- Fred Rodic

Dear Linda,
        I heard PJB on Rush's show and he was great. When he starts talking about the issues I get goosebumps. Wish I could vote more than once. Hahaha! See you later.
      -- Doug Hill - Texas Brigade
