I am asking each of you - please run for office. (Local, State, Federal)

I've been thinking about it, but I can't help but think my atheism will be unnecessarily made an issue.

After college I intend to move directly back to Northeast PA (Family/property reasons) or to NH for the FreeStateProject. I understand what you are saying, but that isn't the way I'm heading/planning my life.

If you are in anyway considering New Hampshire I recommend that you like FSP on facebook and join the FSP group.

Fair enough. I am not planning on running for office either so not like I can say much. Just got the impression that you were holding off because you thought you were too young; obviously there's more to it than that.

Best of luck to you!

Yeah, the funding. I'd run on a Paul platform for sure! I've been idly considering this for many years.. and it truly is the only way to take over the system.

I'm too honest and blunt to be a politician.

So is Ron Paul and he's done quite well

Research past elections for the office your running for. Do your principles allow you to perform the job? Do you stand a chance? How much did it take for the last winner to win and Can you get people to pledge at least 10% of that? If the answer to any of these is No, better to stay away.

Ive come to think that political office should be more like jury duty. Random selection, then a vetting process by constituents, you serve one term no longer than 1 year and no shorter than 1 month. Once you have served in any office, you can never serve in the same position again.

IM sure you could get funding here... You should definitely give it another shot...

I tried here. Got all of 5 people to pledge. Total pledges $120. That doesn't even cover registration.
