Congratulations to President-elect Barack Hussein Obama.

You carried out a hard fought campaign against an admirable opponent and a great American patriot, Senator John McCain.

While I vehemently disagree with the platform of your campaign, your personal associations, and many of your core political beliefs and ideas for the future of our nation, I pledge to you the following:

• I will not disrespect the office of the president and exhibit the hatred, vitriol and venom that has has been reserved by many for President George Walker Bush the past eight years.

• I will not sell out my conservative values and will seek to ardently defend and implement the core tenets of Reagan conservatism.

• I will not stand by idly while our Constitution is under assault by liberal activist judges and leftist legislators who seek to undermine the very purpose of its foundation.

and finally and most importantly above all,

• I will keep you and your counsel in my prayers throughout your tenure and will not compromise my Christian beliefs.  I will not hold you on a pedestal and elevate you as a political deliverer in the name of change. I do not need a president to save me, my country, or this world as many (though surely not all) of my countrymen and a number of my supposed brothers and sisters in Christ seem to believe.  For my true citizenship is in Heaven, any my political philosophy (yes, even that which is derived from Reagan among others) is secondary to the teachings of Christ.

Congratulations President-elect Obama and may God bless.
