MAY 2009 "Make no mistake. These aren't a bunch of dreamers. They started helping veterans and their families and continued to do so, and now their message is going mainstream. They're busy crafting a political movement they say is “... realistic, rational and places common-sense ahead of ideology.” Imagine that? Sounds like a party for the people. It also sounds like a party that could attract disillusioned moderate Republicans. After all, the Whig Party is where the Republican Party originated. I'll bet some right-leaning Democrats will (or already have) found this middle-of-the-road party attractive as well." MAY 2009 "They're back! The Whigs, that is."

JAN 2009 Huntsville Voice "...the Modern Whig Party is already recognized as the fastest-growing mainstream political movement in the country." NOV 2008 "So maybe instead of trying to re-engineer the inner-workings of the Republican party, voters should leave it in mass. May we suggest the Modern Whig Party?
