It was with a great amount of disappointment that I watched the election results come in last night.  With the result in mind, I would like to make a few points.  

First, my congratulations to Eric Schmidt for earning the privilege to carry the Republican banner forward in the fight to turn back the destructive forces of post-modernism as championed by the Democrat party.  Your victory last night was well deserved and brings with it the grave responsibility of remaining true to the values of the Missouri voters as you bring victory in the fall general election.  Standing strong against the DC establishment who will immediately set about changing you to conform to their values and away from the values of the good people of Missouri will in many respects be a bigger challenge than the victory you achieved last night.  But, first thangs first, victory in the fall general election is the responsibility you now shoulder, and I offer you any assistance that I am able to provide in that cause.   

Second, I wanted to thank the small group of people who supported my effort to achieve the greatest political upset since 2016.  It was a small group, but a very committed and dedicated group, and thank you to all members of this group for your time and energy.  

Also, thank you to the over 2000 Missourians who cast their vote for me last night.  It was an honor to see that you shared my values, and that you also shared my vision for what changes are needed to reform Washington DC to improve the lives of Missourians and all our fellow citizens.  I do believe that if our message had been received by more Missourians we could have been a real force for change in Washington.  For those who voted for me I also wanted to say that while I may not be representing you in the Senate, I still feel as though I have an obligation to represent you in how I conduct myself.  Therefore, I pledge to you that I will conduct myself in such a manner as to never give you reason for regretting “voting-4-Bullet”.  

And just one last thought if you will oblige me an additional moment of your time.  Never give up hope that we can reform our government in DC, never give up fighting to bring about these needed reforms, and never lose faith in your Country.  Your families, your communities, and your Country are all worth your love, and never let anyone tell you otherwise.  This Country and this generation have a rendezvous with destiny, and to meet the challenge that will face us will require a people who believe their Nation is worth fighting for.  We must ignore the attacks on our institutions, our values, and our past by those who hope to separate us from all of these so as to control our future.  These attacks primarily come from the those in academia, journalism, and big-tech, and we must resist the corrosive effect that these institutions currently have on our civil society.  As I observed years ago and captured in Bullet’s Fundamental Rules of Government, “Always be aware of, and distrustful of, the intellectual class, their ideas are the breeding ground of societies worst evils.”  I believe what Abraham Lincoln said in his day still applies to us today, that our generation is connected to the Founding generation by what he described as “an electric cord.”  That electric cord is our commitment to our Founding values and our love for the Country that is forever striving to achieve those aspirational values.  While they were not perfect men, we still walk in the shadows of our Founders and stand upon their shoulders.  Each generation remains connected to that electric cord by their efforts to incrementally move us towards the goals the Founders established for us in the Declaration, and our objective of establishing a more perfect union.  This is our destiny, and may we always be up to that task.
