I'm taking the gloves off |
|
In two to three weeks once I get an understanding on how to do it (i.e. when I have to form a PAC for distributing materials or taking donations from others and how to do it) I'm taking the gloves off on my local GOP congressman. I'm starting an 18 month grassroots campaign to get this guy out of office. Their behavior since Obama's inaguration has been unacceptable. When I get the website and sample materials I'm starting with I'll share them with DU.

I'm trying to figure out how to run a high visibility campaign on a limited budget. Any suggestions would be great.

2. Hey Jake, would this be Charlie Dent? |
|
I grew up in Allentown and was a classmate of Charlie's. Was sad to see that he ended up a Repuke.

Sadly he runs some pretty shitty campaigns. He sometimes votes moderate but than will do something crazy like vote against Ledbetter plus he's aiding an abetting the obstructionist right now.

I figure those of us who busted ass FOR President Obama have the power to bust ass AGAINST the GOP. I'm going to fight my ass off to ensure the GOP loses BIG in 2010. And they will.
Oh god, it's so refreshing finding others of like mind.

12. I'm making calls tomorrow. |

I have Congress, the Senate and the White House saved on my cell. Bohner, Cornyn...you name it. I've had enough of their bullshit!

we need to do that here in GA. Both of our Puke senators need to be replaced with human beings.

17. I'll be working for our Dem candidate |
|
who will be running for Kay Bailey Hutchison's seat in Texas in 2010. And then in 2014, I'll be working for whoever will be running for Cornyn's senate seat.
I'm getting active in my county party again to start raising funds now.

18. You will be spitting in the wind, unless you are going to run for office or have somebody you are |
|
going to support to run against your current congressman.
Don't mix up the art of getting elected with the policy positions or lack of any positions of a candidate.
