Hey everyone! THanks for the comments. I usually try to respond to many, but as you can imagine today is a bit of an angry day for me. I am reading them, and thank you so much!
Yes Adam, I will join you. I’m already a part of Country 1st. You lead and I will follow because you have shown yourself to be patriotic yet balanced, willing to find common ground; determined yet compassionate; forward thinking yet thoughtful of others. Exactly what we need in these time. Thank you for your service for these many years and for leadership in the coming years.
Adam great message my concern is the message is only being heard by people who know what you say is the truth. This video should be sent to every CEO of the Fortune 500 companies, to leaders and well known actors, entertainers, well known athletes and other national figures to help build the groundswell of support and the ability to help get the message to the MAGA crowds who need to hear this. You need to reach people who can help fund advertising on Fox to help get the story to those who follow Trump blindly. So many Americans fought and died to preserve our democracy. What Trump and most Republicans are doing is an insult to every soldier who has fought for our country’s freedom. Thank you again for all you are doing.
I don’t understand how the magas of the older generation, many, many who are veterans, can go along with someone willing to tear our country apart. They fought to make our nation better, but now they’re throwing in the towel, follow a Hitler wanna be, and willing to let their sacrifices be for naught?
You are right Russell. We need to get this message out to as many people as we can!!! Not sure how Adam can achieve this. Maybe you can forward it to those you have in mind. However, will they listen. I get most CEO’s are Republicans!!
Adam, I am totally with you!! Can you put this on YouTube or share it with someone at Meidas Touch? I share many of their videos on my Facebook page. We need to get this message out as best we can!!!!
I agree with you on this. Therefore, IMO our mission has to be to reach out to anyone and everyone that is teetering on the edge of not voting or trying to decide who to vote for. Let US be the voice of sanity that helps guide these folks to the polls to vote for candidates who are willing to work to keep our republic in place and strengthen it, rather than tear it down.
Adam, you have a way with words that translates what I, and many of us, feel. None of us are perfect, alone, and I have heard you admit to your own faults. You also stepped up and chose to do what is right over what is political. You know the danger of political office. You have seen it from the inside, where outsiders are not permitted.
I've known a lot of people over the years, and some of them were great leaders. Capt. R.H. English (USN), Capt. Pete Miller (USN), Gip (President Reagan), and my grandfather. And I am proud to add you to that short list.
We all follow orders we are given, and there are times that we question those orders even as we obey them. But true leaders are more rare than many think. I believe that it is found in their hearts, their love for country, for those that they lead, and for that which they have Faith in.
What you said here is fact, not just "truth". You have my respect, and I'll gladly accept your lead. Keep moving forward, we're not just behind you, we're right there beside you every step of the way. God Bless America.
Thanks Adam!! Your comments absolutely described what we all saw 3 years ago with our own eyes as traitors were incited to attack our Capitol. Those trying to downplay the failed coup today were likely complicit in the heinous acts of 6 January 2021.
I firmly believe our nation will prevail due to the efforts of those that took an oath to defend it. You are correct, the time to act is now...
A day of somber reflection. We need leaders like you who will speak the truth. Please consider running for maybe the Senate or ultimately I would hope the Presidency in the future. In the meantime, we must not permit this man from holding office again. Please, I implore all who thinks he cares about you or our country. He simply doesn’t. We cannot escape this day for it is burned into our memory and we must be diligent and do the work it takes to be Americans. I ask no one their political party because I don’t care. They are my neighbors, or someone I’m just meeting. How sad that someone might not want to be my friend because of politics. Let’s talk like we used to. I sort of miss the good ole boy network of luncheons and golf. At least deals were being made. Was it perfect? No but a hell of a lot better than what we have now.
Thank you for doing the right thing and stepping up and speaking out against January 6th and Donald Trump's actions. I lost a significant group of my friends a couple years back when I spoke up against a few of them having affairs against their husbands (not to get too personal) and I ended up alone and abandoned by people that I thought were my friends. I know how difficult it is to be separated from your so-called tribe, but you did the right thing and it's frustrated as I get with a political situation today. I'm really glad we have people like you. Sometimes the sacrifice is worth the outcome.
Thank you, Adam, I am 110% behind you. J6 horrified us and the inaction from the president is inexplicable. Trump watched with glee, as his cult stormed the Capital, despicable. It’s hard to believe it’s been 3 years since J6 and we are facing the possibility of Trump being reelected. He needs to be stopped. Period.
Thank you, Adam! I’m still in disbelief that Trump has not been convicted and put behind bars, YET, over what he did! I will never understand the loyalty to him to this day. All I can say is, No More in ‘24! Our freedom and democracy are at stake and thank goodness for leaders like you!
Hey everyone! THanks for the comments. I usually try to respond to many, but as you can imagine today is a bit of an angry day for me. I am reading them, and thank you so much!
Thank you, Mr. Kinzinger. If we are ever to defeat the scourge of MAGA Trumpism, it will be leaders like you who show us the way.

So Appreciate all you say & do -
Sadly, those unthinking MAGA Republicans who so desperately need to read and believe this - probably never will . .

Yes, it’s very sad!!
I’m in. I’m becoming a citizen on January 11th and I cannot WAIT to register to vote! 💯🇺🇸 #CountryFirst
So glad that you see what is the basic desire and unity in this nation. All the crazies do NOT define us. Welcome.
Congratulations!!

I know you lost your tribe when you spoke out against Donald Trump, but I want you to know you're all right in my book and I'm pretty dang awesome.
Thank you Mr. Kinzinger. Grateful for your strength and leadership.
