Passionate retired Army officer Allen West echoes founders in bid for Congress By Art Moore Posted: December 18, 2009 ~ 12:15 am Eastern © 2009 WorldNetDaily Allen West hasn't changed his core message since falling short in a run for Congress last year, but with the political winds now at his back, the retired Army officer's passionately delivered emphasis on constitutional principles of liberty, fiscal responsibility, strong national defense and free-market solutions is attracting an audience well beyond Florida's 22nd district. A video of his rally cry to the party base in preparation for a 2010 run has drawn more than 1.2 million views on YouTube.com. West was introduced to the nation in 2003 when he faced criminal charges for using shock interrogation tactics to protect his soldiers in Iraq. Taped at the Revolution Nightclub in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in October, the video captures West giving supporters a taste of what it must have been like to prepare for combat in Iraq with the lieutenant colonel. "It's OK to come out here and cheerlead," he told the enthusiastic crowd. "But you've gotta get your butts out there and understand there's a fight – and you'd better be willing to fight for this country." READ FULL STORY > See Allen West's speech:
