Those without power cannot defend freedom.

So far there are 27 House seats to be vacated this year due to retirement or quitting.

Congressman Kenny Hulshof of Missouri is leaving Congress to run for Governor I just read.

I'm probably beginning to sound like a broken record but:
A Ron Paul Republican in every Congressional district does us no good if they all lose their primaries. Illinois has already held their primaries (and the one RP Republican running in the state, in District 8, LOST), Maryland's are today (at least one RP candidate in all but one congressional district), Texas and Ohio will hold their primaries on March 4, Mississippi on March 11. Hop down to the Federal/State/Local Candidates sub-forum for more information.

That is why I stated that it is probably a little late for this election cycle to run, but be prepared to run in two years.

Remember all the representatives serve 2 year terms. We don't have to wait until there are vacancies. We have to run against incumbents as well. Some are tough but we can never win if we don't go to the battle field, like Griffin said.

 

[life_boy]

Yeah, it is too late in some places. We'll just to see how we do tomorrow in Maryland (the 7 districts we are competing in there should give us a gauge of what we are up against).

But we can also target specific areas. For instance:

Florida, District 1 (Primary on August 26, 2008)
Jeff Miller (Rep-Incumbent) has raised only $80,985
Joe Roberts (D) has raised $48,444
Low-raising Republican incumbent is a good MO from our standpoint.

Arkansas, District 2 (Primary on May 20, 2008)
Vic Snyder (Dem-Incumbent) has raised only $34
No Republican challenger yet. $34? Even if this is $534, it is still crazy beatable.

Indiana, District 7 (Primary on May 6, 2008) OPEN SEAT
Jonathan Robert Elrod (R) raised $3,900
Wayne E. Harmon (R) raised $0
Andre Carson (D) raised $0
David Orentlicher (D) raised $0

These figures come from OpenSecrets so they aren't always the most immediately relevant (and some candidates may have arisen after the the data was posted), but the point is to target areas where competition is minimal. Many of the Ron Paul candidates of 2008 are running in fields that have several other Republicans running against them, many against incumbents. Not that we can't win these, but I think if we are thinking of taking time to plan some Congressional races to compete in in two years time (and starting as soon as Nov. 5, I should hope), choosing some specific low-competition races could be to our advantage. Being the only Republican running could be huge for us. This could happen with state legislative seats as well. The information is easily available to us. We just have to use it and then find the right people to fill those positions.

In my district, I think the incumbent (Henry Cuellar - D) is running unchallenged. That I know of, their is no Republican candidate. Is there a website where we can check the registered candidates?

 

[New Governor Of Alaska]

I think it would be a little late this election cycle but, what if we prepare and educate RP supporters to run for house representatives in 2 years and flood the house with candidates holding the same agenda (restoring the constitution).

Each district would have at least 2 candidates. The more candidates running the better chances we'll win the seat.

We would need a centralized educational website with books, audio, video, articles; a complete library of constitutional literature and media so we educate ourselves and prepare others to run for office.

Also, educational material on how to start/run a campaing.

I saw in another threat a poll showing that many people in this forum are well educated people capable of running for office.

I think that maybe in 10yrs (if we survive that long) we'll take over the house of representatives and we can start working on the senate and presidency. By then we'll have maybe 2 or 3 presidential candidates.

We ought to do it!

I absolutley agree, but take a look at the threads running.

We ought to start planning, organizing and coordinating for the takeover of congress in 2010.

We're trying to figure out who we can select to run for president in 4 years. That is 2012. We can take over congress in 2 years and stop this circus in washington.

Okay, so we conjure up battles to determine quien es mas el Freedom Fighter, so that whoever wins will be one of us.

Use the Hegelian Dialectic of thesis, antithesis and synthesis to get what we want.

Then we discover that the only way to keep our guys elected is to perpetuate more conflict and strife at home and around the world.

Explain to me how that's going to help the Revolution succeed?

You can't save something by destroying it.

 

[Enemies Domestic]

I'm for this idea 100%. Beat them at their own game. Register in either the Dem or Rep party, depending on your best chance to win. We have all learned a lot and seem open to learning everything we can about the system. In June, I'm scheduled to take a job that will put me in a good political networking position. I used to dread and avoid that, but now I will use it to my advantage to work my way to a state position or higher.

As long as we can have a secret handshake and junk.

You're way out there man. We follow the Constitution. We take our marching order from the Constitution. We don't create strife or conflict. We win elections and restore the Constitution. We restore the Republic in every level of government.

Did you read my last two lines? I'm about as out there as you are.

My first three lines were all sarcasm.

Didn't you read the name of the thread. This is serious man. Leave sarcasm out and be constructive, will you.

We can do this if we are well organized and coordinate the possible candidates. I would say respected political figures like RP would be willing to give their endorsement if we get serious about it.

We can change this... it is within our grasp. We just need to come to power.
watch this seminar, its a bit long, but i wouldn't ask you to watch it if it wasn't important: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6015291679758430958

watch it.

It has only just begun. The fight for freedom is what we signed on for. The war is never ending. We need to somehow influence the existing delegates. There are some who are doing this. I am running for congress 5 th Dist) and lobbying those delegates currently in the attempt to get Paul supporting Delegates at Large considered. There are things to do. Any ideas? We need feet on the street. Try to energize and find something to do. You guys did a great job! Don't get down too much about it.

The whole Ron Paul Phenomenon, guided us through a corrupt process. We hit a wall. But, we have made a thorough mockery of the LAGOP. It is dripping with corruption as evidenced by the multitude nefarious dealings we saw them engage in. Because, only we have that perspective, we are now the vanguard. We have gained a certain wisdom others have not had the opportunity to develop. It is time to count the cost. We are entering uncharted waters with no land in sight. If we continue, we must ask. Will we make it to the beautiful shore of freedom for our friends and family? Do we have the choice to back out? The answer is yes. But we cannot have both.

We now have momentum we have never had before. Our evil opponent's biggest weapon against us is called, "Divide and Conquer". This ancient tactic of war is found in Tsun Tzu's "The Art of War"(This is required West Point reading). For the first time since the Renaissance we can clearly see what the enemy is doing against us. We simply must persevere. We must duplicate ourselves in our friends and family. It boils down to the conveyance of information. We are at an unprecedented time in history and we are currently winning. We are writing our epithets now. I wonder what will be said at our passing? Will they say,"They really had an opportunity to free us and they blew it!"? Or will we persevere in this fight as Ron Paul, wants us to? We can never loose until we quit fighting.

Brent, after the elections are done and you guys take the seats, I think we can contact RP so we can set up a sort of a conference/seminar for potential candidates. This 1st of all to give a morale boost, then to give a tips on campaining and a good policy speech.
