Mr. Peden:
Please be aware that your smear campaign against the Honarable Dr. Ron Paul will not work. Dr. Ron Paul is loved by his district and by millions of Americans across this country. You can not and will not stifle the message of peace, liberty, and prosperity in your district, and I for one will donate to Ron Paul's congressional campaign to make sure he has the financial resources to beat back your lies and distortions. Freedom loving Americans from all over this great country will also be launching a massive money drive for Ron Paul for his Republican primary race against you. Good Luck.
P.S. Drop out and avoid the embarassment.

I sent him a very polite email talking about how his attack adds show how America has declined, in that we COMPLETELY have ZERO respect for Elders, people who know whats up in the world, people who have your best interests in heart, people who will stand up for your rights even if its a threat to their life, who served in the military, who would never run a crappy attack add... etc...
I will also be writing him a letter, because you know he will never read his e-mail after we get through with this punk ass son of a bitch.

Ped** is pulling a "Sinatra"; donating a lot of his own money to his campaign. According to the FEC, Ped** has given his campaign 134,000 dollars of his own money. Paul's republican primary opponent in 2006, Cynthia Sinatra, spent 150,000 dollars of her own money on her failed campaign (Paul: 78%, Sinatra: 22%).
I don't know Paul's personal wealth and if he could do the same if he wanted (I know he hasn't, at least according to the FEC), but this guy needs to be countered.

I'll help Dr. Paul when he decides to run for President. That's what I signed up for.

Anyone know how to get the mods to post the congressional fund raising widget on the home page?

Chris Peden's Cash Redux
True to its monthly cyclical expectations, the herd over at the Church of Dan has been flopping all over itself for the better part of the day in a self-feeding frenzy of hits on Presidential long-shot and favorite KSEV punching bag Ron Paul. They range from the usual innuendo in which Paul is said to enjoy the company of "racist/bigotted/anti-semite/homophobic/(your ad here) scumbags" to this critique wherein a commentator expresses an inordinately bitter offense at the loins that produced an obscure anti-tax pamphleteer who has recently aligned with the Paul camp. The most amusing by far though is an unusual attempt by the Lone Star Times crowd to promote the reputed fundraising prowess of The Honorable Chris Peden, the boy genius of Friendswood City Council who seems to believe that he can unseat Paul from his congressional seat by singlehandedly purchasing hundreds of dollars in banner ads on...well...the Lone Star Times.
While ostensibly undertaking a correction of the mathematically inept Houston Chronicle, author David Benzion has another purpose in mind - to show, as he puts it after repeatedly reminding his readers that Peden first attained his Honorability with the backing of KSEV, that
Peden has twice as much money Cash-On-Hand as Paul, no?
He is referencing, of course, the $143,949.92 that Peden reported "on hand" at the end of last year's 4th reporting quarter. This figure naturally seems like an impressive haul, and numerically it is considering that Peden finished the prior quarter with a stunning $363 in the bank. So where did this sudden cash influx come from? Another pundit from Dan-Land attempts to explain:
Read Peden's report yourself, and you can see exactly where the money came from. I’m sorry to say you’ll be disappointed, unless you consider people like a CPA, an orthodontist and a pastor to be “corporate masters.”
It’s also interesting to note that all of Peden’s money is local — it comes from towns like Houston, Friendswood and Crosby.
This intriguing take appears aside a critique of the Chronicle's shoddy reporting standards, but a closer look reveals much more in common than a simple coinciding placement. You see, the majority of Chris Peden's cash haul from the last quarter, and to be specific $150,424.49 out of $174,750.80 raised (of which $143,949.92 remain unexpended on banner ads), did not simply come from "local" addresses in towns like Friendswood. It came from one single address in Friendswood: 1878 Flat Rock Street, as in the abode of the candidate himself.
One "William Chris Peden" of 1878 Flat Rock Street, as in the Honorable Mayor Pro Tem of Friendswood, also happens to be the aforementioned CPA who keeps donating to the Chris Peden for Congress campaign. Let's take a look at what this "man of the people" has managed to give himself:
Donor:
William Chris Peden
Peden & Associates, LLP
CPA
Carry-over loan balance - $14,428.02
4th Quarter loans from Chris Peden to Chris Peden -
10/01/2007 - $129.33
10/04/2007 - $21.61
10/06/2007 - $99.86
10/11/2007 - $1,000.00
11/29/2007 - $12,000.00
11/30/2007 - $18,000.00
12/07/2007 - $59,875.00
12/10/2007 - $20,000.00
12/31/2007 - $25,000.00
Grand Total: $150,424.49
Of the remaining actual donations from persons other than the Honorable Chris Peden himself, approximately half came from his relatives, Messrs. Bill Peden, also of Peden and Associates, and Greg Peden, of the Alvin Chevron station each gave the maximum allowable donation of $4,600. Ellen and Lois Peden, co-managers of the Hope Village Tea Room. similarly maxed out, bringing the Peden Family's self contributions to a total of $16,100 for the quarter.
That places just over $166,000 of Peden's claimed total haul of $174,000 "in the family."
The moral of the story: when you can't raise more than a couple hundred bucks for your lousy candidacy from the common folks, it never hurts to cut yourself a couple of $25,000 checks. It also helps when the primary recipient of your advertising budget is willing to your attempt to buy a seat in Congress as an outpouring of neighborly support for your cause.

Smear?
Since when is slashing funding for FBI and CIA, and pulling troops out of Iraq a bad thing? Reads more like a promo. Unless the people of Texas are stupid, this would make them vote for Ron Paul.
The way to combat this is to make an identical copy with altered words to make it pro Ron Paul. This would cause confusion against the other guy.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul's suggestion that United States actions were partly to blame for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks is prompting several primary challengers to vie for the Republican's House seat.
Paul's comments during the second GOP presidential debate brought his anti-war stance to the fore. And the challengers inspired by his views are just the latest manifestation of a GOP base looking askance at congressmen who have bucked the party over the Iraq war.
Friendswood City Councilman Chris Peden has formed an exploratory committee seat and is likely to announce a primary bid against Paul in the next several weeks. And one of Paul's former district aides, Eric Dondero Rittberg -- who later dropped the Rittberg and now goes by Eric Dondero -- has already announced his campaign, calling his ex-boss a "complete nutcase" and his views on foreign policy "near-treasonous."
Paul spokesman Mark Elam said Paul "takes every challenge seriously," but dismissed the two nascent campaigns, referring to Peden as a political opportunist.
"Only a few months ago, he was singing the congressman's praises," Elam said. "He promised he would never run against him in the primary so long as (Paul) was running for reelection."
As for Dondero, Elam described him as a disgruntled lower-level employee and as "looney-tunes." Dondero served as Paul's senior district aide from 1996 to 2003, and also as his driver during the 1996 campaign.
