typically, there are rumors about his plans, i enjoy receiving email updates with-his-signature.
(some of these request financial support, i have not contributed financially, nor do i request others do so. that's a private matter.)
i first read about Dr Carson on MD, maybe 2-3 years ago?
i've been interested in him, and his dear wife, Candy, ever since.
i appreciate his/their heart for others, i do not understand or agree with everything he does, but, overall, "following" his/their path has been a positive in my life.
Yesterday, it was reported that I have decided not to take a job in President-elect Trump's Cabinet. That is true, and I'd like to take a moment to explain why.
Aside from roughly one year as a candidate for President, I have been a citizen -- and looking at the challenges ahead, that's how I believe I can be most effective in helping to enact our new President's ambitious agenda.
Rather than leading a federal department and concentrating on one issue, I feel I can have the biggest impact on the broadest number of issues by helping to lead a movement of my fellow citizens, outside of the Washington bubble.
One way that I'll be staying intricately involved is with the American Legacy Center, through our Fight the Court project, but likely on other topics as well.
The fact is, nominating a new justice to the U.S. Supreme Court will be one of Donald Trump's first actions as President, and we must start preparing for the fight ahead.
... ... ...
Over the course of the last few months, our Fight for the Court project allowed us to reach millions upon millions of people across the country, and I cannot tell you how many emails we've received from people telling us how much this influenced their decision.
That's a very rewarding thing to hear.
At the end of the day, there are incredibly important challenges before us, and I'm proud to have played a small role in keeping the focus on what really matters.
Thanks for your time, and I hope you will continue to support this project as we prepare for the fight ahead. This is just the beginning, and there's a lot of work to do.
Sincerely,
Ben Carson
Chairman, Fight for the Court
