This past week, Congressman Allen West was honored to have been named a member of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Conference. The NDAA Conference is a bipartisan group of members from both the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate and is charged with hammering out the final provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 in order to ensure troops have the resources they need to defend America.
The founders of this country were quite an extraordinary group. Together, they created a unique government that they visualized would be run by individuals like themselves – ordinary citizens. They never envisioned a professional class of political leaders. The election of 2010 brought many non-professional politicians to Washington, but none more noteworthy than Colonel Allen West (R-FL).
West created a lot of publicity during the 2010 election, most noticeably because he is a Black Republican. In addition, he delivered some speeches that went viral on the Internet and ignited tremendous interest in his candidacy.
