Doting on my Hubby!

I just wanted to dote on my hubby for a minute. Nathan is such an awesome man of God! Not just because he is doing WONDERFUL in his Congressional campaign, but because he is true to his convictions. I am very proud to say that my dh was offered a packaged valued at over $100,000 worth of $ and media from a certian anti-war group and he turned it down! Yes, politicians are always asking for donations, BUT not when you have to go against your standards. By saying yes to that liberal military group, he would have had to have agreed to their agenda which includes withdrawing from Iraq immediately and not supporting our president. Basically Nathan would have had to have gone against EVERYTHING he went to Iraq for? He basically would have been saying that his time in Iraq was for nothing and the great job that these guys/gals have and are doing now is for nothing since we want to pull up camp and ship everyone home? And that helps worldwide democracy/freedom how? I agree with my husband, no matter if you believe we had the right/cause/whatever to go into Iraq....we're there now and we need to continue our support of their new government because the world is watching to see if we hold true to our word or not to stick it out to the end. On top of all of that he would have had to denounce his commander in chief...his military boss? Not happening! So Nathan turned down the large amount of money not because it might look good in the papers or get him a few more votes in the primary, but because of his values. After God and his family, the thing Nathan holds most dear is his integrity. He believes that if a man has no integrity, he has nothing. This is why it was such a big deal to me to proudly sit back and watch my hubby turn down media coverage (commercials and such) and cash donations so that he could stand tall and know that he IS a man of his word! Wow hubby! You'll make a great congressman! Of course I am going to do a shameless plug for his website on my scrap'n blog..he's earned it! :P http://www.martin4congress.com
