Many of you have probably heard that Georgia Republicans are considering mounting a challenge to Saxby Chambliss, the old establishment Senator, after he said he will break the Norquist pledge. Erick Erickson was strongly considering a run, but he recently decided against it. That basically leaves former Sec. of State Karen Handel, Rep. Tom Price, and Rep. Paul Broun to consider runs. Handel and Price are fine, but Broun would be an enormous asset in the Senate.
In fact, I believe Broun would be the second best Senator, even better than Mike Lee. Many of you have heard of him, for those that haven't I will introduce him.
Broun is a former Marine, who barely got elected in a Republican primary in 2007 after 3 previous failed elections. See: http://reason.com/archives/2008/01/24/the-accidental-congressman
But once in office, he has won reelection handily each time in a large district. He has gotten in the national media due to some controversy, including calling the Civil War "the War of Northern Aggression" on the House floor, calling evolution a lie from the pit of hell, and chuckling when at a town hall somebody asked who was going to shoot Obama.
But controversy aside, he is extremely solid. He consistently rates among the top 3-5 in the JBS Voting Index and FreedomWorks vote tracker. In short, behind Ron Paul and Justin Amash, Broun along with Jimmy Duncan and Walter Jones are the best we have had in the House. He isn't Ron Paul, but nobody is Ron Paul. Other than Paul and Amash, nobody emphasizes the Constitution more than Broun. He has integrity, and I respect it.
Here is Paul's vote criteria:
1) Is it Right/Moral?
2) Is it Constitutional?
3) Is it Necessary?
4) Is it Affordable?
It is said that we can judge people based on their associations. I think most of us believe the John Birch Society "gets it". Ron Paul stands with them as do they with him. Paul Broun is also a member. You can only lose politically by being associated with them, so it is not fakery. Here is a great speech he gave at a JBS dinner:
Here are some things he says in the video:
*Because the Constitution gives Congress the power to control monetary policy, he is against the Fed.
*He is against the people who would establish a new world order, a global government.
*He and Ron Paul are the only one's who follow the Constitution. (This was before Amash's election)
What a great ally this man would be to Rand Paul in the Senate. They have worked together before with introducing the FOCUS Act. For example, they are both against the foreign aid, the Patriot Act, U.N., and TSA. Recently, in response to a tweet by Julie Bororoski, he said that he will introduce Audit the Fed in 2013.
In the name of transparency, I will admit that he isn't a perfect noninterventionist on foreign policy. He isn't a hawk though. And we also know Rand isn't a complete noninterventionist either.
Nothing is official yet, but I want Broun to know he will have support if he runs. I request that those supportive would encourage him on his facebook pages to consider a run, citing the need for a true Constitutional conservative representing Georgia in the Senate. Here are his facebook pages:

FINALLY, I would like to ask all of you to like and share the draft page that I created. It needs to gain traction so that we can give this draft effort legitimacy.

With luck, we can have a few of Paul Broun, Tom Davis, Greg Brannon, Jim Forsyth, Joe Miller, and Gary Johnson in the Senate in 2014.
