Heard you on the Rush show w/Mark Davis. Had to look you up to say that maybe America will be in good hands if there are more like you. God Bless. Grandmother of ten in Spearfish, SD

It is refreshing to hear a high school student who knows how to research the issues and form opinions for himself. Congratulations on being heard across the nation! Hold fast to your principles and you’ll do well in the political career that’s in your future.
Congratulations Joe,
I didn’t hear the show but from the comments here I can see that you were a hit. You are an amazing young man with an even more amazing future. I’m proud to know you.
I’ve had the honor of knowing both sets of your grandparents my entire life. You have great “roots”.
Great to hear you today Joe. Study hard, work hard, the USA needs you. Thanks, K.
Heard your call-in to Rush; way to go! You have my vote when you run for office. Have a great summer…

Joe, I too heard you on Rush’s show today.
I am grateful to know that there are outstanding young men (and women) like you, who will someday be the leaders of this country.
Way to have your head on straight, and to be educated and interested in what is happening in this country. I look forward to following your future exploits, and hope to one day see you on the national political scene.
Keep up the great work, and God bless you young man!
Mr. Shartz,
Heard you on the Rush 24/7 Podcast all the way in Iraq! Great job, sir. Keep up the great work. You young adults are the future for our nation and one of the reasons we’re over here in Iraq.
I commend you and your work. Thanks for making your fellow students aware of how important politics are in our way of life.
Sincerely,
Dan in Iraq
Hello Mr.Shartz,
My name is John Tate. I am 47 years old and live in Toledo OH. I have 4 sons and after listening to you on Rush’s show yesterday I know that some of our youth is still level headed and gives us old folks a feeling that all is not lost as far as our youth is concerned. I have 5 great kids (1 daughter too)and are trying to raise them the best I can in this wacky upside down country we are living in. I would be willing to bet that you have GREAT Parents ? Keep up the good work Joe !!!!
Joe,
My name is Becca and I’m from Indiana. I heard you on the Rush Limbaugh show and am inspired. I am a 27 year old college student and have been invited to speak at a Tea Party here. The point of the speech is to inspire people to act. Since I am being brought in to speak to younger people, I wanted your advice. Since you are around the younger crowd and know how to appeal to them, I’m wondering if you have any ideas on how to get the younger generation into current events. A lot of friends my age have no idea what is going on and I have to inform them and they are shocked. I appreciate any ideas you have, and keep up the good work. You are truly an inspiration for the older crowd to start paying attention!!!

Joe,
Heard you on Rush. AWESOME!
Hi Joe. I also heard you on Rush and read a few of your articles. Amazing! I am a retired Marine officer and airline pilot and it warms my heart to know there are young people like you out there. I reside in enemy territory (Massachusetts), but even it is coming around. We did after all elect Scott Brown (hey, that rhymes).
My daughter recently completed her Master’s degree and was completely brainwashed by liberal academia, but I haven’t given up on her yet. Please don’t let that happen to you. Good luck with what I’m sure will be a very bright future.
P.S. Please post here if you set up a website so we can follow (and support) your progress.
Joe,
Heard you on the Rush Limbaugh show a couple days ago. You did awesome. Being a former Humboldt resident (my parents still live there) and a West Central ‘02 graduate, you made my day! Keep up the good work!
Joe has launched his own website!!! We can follow his work at http://www.iamamerica-joe.blogspot.com
Joe, heard you on Rush. Great comments. Knowing there are still competent teens out there who care about liberty, self-determination, and responsibility really gives me hope. Keep up the good work man. I agree with Dan in Iraq. People like you are the reason why we’re out here. Thanks for reminding us it’s all worth it.
Way to go Joe, just listened to my Rush podcast. I am a native of Pierre and my father has a print shop in Chamberlain. I still have deep roots in SD and am happy to see the youth of SD continuing the conservative tradition.
Joe!
Heard you on Rush’s show! Keep your head on straight and keep busy… you’ll go very far.
Air Force Dittos Dude!
Joe: What have you been working on lately?
I guess the Arizona border dispute will
go to the Supreme Court.
Joe I heard you on rush while I was draining my radiator and I have to say I am very pleased with what you are doing for your school and state!
Keep it up!
