Gov. Chris Christie's Advice: Leave Nothing in the Tank

Written by Starla M. Brown on . Posted in Staff Op-Eds

I have never been accused of being quiet, but when Gov. Chris Christie told Florida delegates and attendees to "leave nothing in the tank" on Thursday morning as he addressed a breakfast event, I understood not only did we need to cheer from the convention floor, we need to give this presidential election everything we got.

 

With all that we have, with all that we can give we must campaign and reach out to every American to elect the Romney-Ryan ticket in November.  The time is now and as the saying goes if not me and if not you, then who?  And I do mean every American, all party politics must be put aside and we must reach out to voters to understand the implications of four more years of an Obama administration.  Unless of course you are for the Affordable Healthcare Act or expanding government to levels that boggle the mind and solving the debt with tax increases, then I suggest you start working for the free enterprise and limited government ticket that Romney-Ryan represents, and keep an America we recognize.  Four more years of Obama and we get the CHANGE just not the HOPE.

 

If you don't have your game plan yet I urge you to volunteer and do so immediately.  It's the fourth quarter and we are marching down the field to the goal line.  Coming off the convention we are inspired by great speakers and by an amazing team in Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.  Let's take this enthusiasm and inject it into everyone we meet and reach across party lines while doing so.  We need to win Florida and we need everyone to do their part to get the facts and the truth out to the voters.

 

We can't sit by and be quiet and hope for the best outcome, we have to be in the game.  If you don't know where to start, then find the local Victory Center in your area and call or stop by to learn how you can be involved.  Phone calls, sign waving, canvassing door to door, rally's and a willingness to speak to people are just some of the things you can do to serve as a volunteer in this election.  This is not the time to be apathetic and let others determine this race, this is your time to leave nothing in the tank and I hope everyone is running on fumes November 6, 2012 because you gave everything possible.
