Project Vote Smart

It is rather disappointing that many candidates do not use the "Political Courage Test" to explain where they stand on the issues. In fact under thirty percent use this important service to the voters nationwide.

See you on the campaign trail!!!!!

Considering a run in 2012
Mood:  energetic

I'm very excited about the possibilities of running for office in 2012.  I will come to a decision by the end of April.  I do not want to say anything sooner because it won't be until late June or July until the final ballot would be finalized. It looks like the rules are the same - It will take 100 signatures to make the ballot in November. Will keep everyone posted.

UPDATE: I'm on the ballot!!!!  for the 12th Congessional District - Thank you to everyone for making this happen!

We got the signatures!
Mood:  energetic
WE DID IT - 123 Signatures.  A victory for the campaign. In other news last night primaries were held. Incumbent Rush Holt was unopposed while on the Republican side Scott Sipprelle won a close race against David Corsi.  This makes for a very interesting November race. No matter what happens on election day, win or lose I'm proud of my supporters. 

100 Signatures or bust!
Mood:  energetic
Getting on the ballot will be a victory no matter what happens on election night!  We're getting closer but the deadline is fast approaching. Keep our fingers crossed. The 12th district is so split between towns it's a long process determining who can sign the petition - but it's fun.

A Change In Congress
Mood:  a-ok
It is time for our Congress to put party affilation aside and start believing in bi-partisianship. A goal that I have (if elected) would be to work with both Democrats and Republicans and find solutions to our nations problems by passing legislation that can benefit all Americans. I would enter the Congress with an open mind because I truely believe that both parties (Dems & Repubs) want the best for our country. If we all can work together and take the best ideas from conservatives and liberals and meet in the center - we can have a more efficient house of representatives that represent all Americans.  We do have challenges ahead - a sluggish economy and a war that never ends but there is hope. Some say that "meeting in the center" is a form of giving up your beliefs, I say if it benefits our country and our people making concessions in this case would be patriotic. Take care - Talk to you later!

Too Much Spending On Campaigning
Mood:  a-ok
I think it is time to stop the outrageous money spent on elections. Each year it seems that the money candidates use and the contributions given are outrageous. That is why I believe that a candidates  message is most important than the money he or she can raise. That is why we will not accept any money to fund this campaign.  As I say "keep the hard earned money you make or spend it on yourself, friends and family - save it or pump it back into our economy not into politicians pockets!" If you find this message positive - The only contribution from you that I want is to spread the message about us. Because a voice IS more important than $$$$.
