Ron needs help in Texas... The smear campaign has started!

Let's show this Peden guy who he's dealing with!


Here is the garbage being flung at his constituents:

http://lonestartimes.com/2008/02/01/chronically-incompetent/
Peden is now fighting to replace Ron Paul in Congress, on the basic premise that people who live in District 14 actually deserve an elected representative who cares more about looking out for their interests in D.C. than trying to persuade a bunch of dope-smoking, Kucinich-loving college students in Seattle that America’s problems are the result of a flawed monetary policy controlled by a wealthy and secretive elite.

[RonPaulwillWin]

If we can make fox news look like idiots this should be a cakewalk.

[greendiseaser]

I "LOVE" how the ad tries to smear paul as a "liberal" ?!?!?

ROFLMAO.

Oh wait.
This isn't funny.

:cool:

[Enzo]

Wow.. According to the defendthedistrict.com website...

Ron Paul is nowhere close to the donation goal of $400k :(

We can't let that neo-con dick Chris Peden even think for a second that he has a chance

[ClayTrainor]

lol, such a pathetic smear full of statements taken completely out of context.

The sheople will probably eat it up though.. all they want to hear is "America is the greatest nation in the world "

[fabijo]

At least he is showing Ron Paul's face and name! :)
If Peden keeps this up, the only name people will recognize on the ballot will be Ron Paul.

[bluemarkets]

we should let him know we dont appreciate this ...

Does anyone know what is going on in his district currently?

Does Peden have any ads playing etc... Perhaps we can do a chipin and take out an ad in the local paper for a few weeks. Apparently, this contest is right around the corner...

[fuzzybekool]

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.

Proposed slogans?

"This country needs a Doctor, not a CPA." :p

I'm sure we can come up with better though...

[Ginobili]

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.

[RonPaulFanInGA]

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.

[Vox Populi]

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

[jarofclay]

Let's make a flyer called:

[linusPAULing]

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

I'll be emailing the bay area meetups with a link to this thread. We need to get RP his $400K asap.

[Delaware]

I read that polling showed Ron Paul would lose the district 39% to 61%, but i don't have a link for the data, does anyone know of any polling conducted?

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.

[RWill]

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.

just did! thanks for the info...RP people are amazingly resourceful!:D

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0507/4154.html

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.

Dear Congressional District 14 Republican Primary Voters:

My name is Chris Peden. I'm a Pro-Family, Pro-Life Christian conservative who believes in free markets and individual responsibility.

I'm running for Congress because it's clear that our traditional values need a proven conservative voice in Washington, D.C. In essence, we need Republicans to vote like Republicans again.


From the chris peden website... is it just me, or is he trying to sound like someone else I know...?

[Shinerxx]

I just send Chris a very stern complaint. I only wish I lived in District 14 so I could vote for Ron Paul twice.

Maybe we should make some PAC ads against him with this very info show how he has no real support from the people.

[RonPaulFanInGA]

I read that polling showed Ron Paul would lose the district 39% to 61%, but i don't have a link for the data, does anyone know of any polling conducted?

I think you read that here (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=115753). It's NOT true.

The "poll" came from a reading-challenged Hannity supporter. What he was talking about comes from the Hill in November 2007, written by known Paul-hater David Hill. Also the poll was conducted in 2004, and it has nothing to do with a straight-up "do you support or oppose Ron Paul" thing. Here is what Hill wrote in 11/2007:

"In 2004, disgruntled Republicans asked me to find encouragement for challengers. We polled his suburban Houston district and found that voters resist his contrarian and stark libertarian perspective that even sells out local interests. When told that “Ron Paul consistently opposes taxpayer funding for NASA and wants to eliminate the agency,” 61 percent of Republican primary voters said this information would make them less likely to vote for Paul’s reelection."

Pretty dishonest by that Hannity poster, huh? The story, from November 2007, was mildly recent...but the poll was not recent at all. And no one votes based on the big issue of NASA. This poll is 100% irrelevant now.

Paul himself says his own internal polling data in the district is "reassuring" and a staff member of his said he has a 70% job approval rating in TX-14. Paul is no fool, if he really believed he was in danger of losing his house seat he'd quit his presidential run and defend his district with all that presidential cash, not give speechs in the state of Washington.

[ionlyknowy]

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.

yes, in Texas this sounds bad to the people that havent already been awaken by RP's message... I lived in Texas for 24 years... it is neocon central. Fox news even has a store at the airports.

[JonathanR]

Ron Paul has been elected 10 times. Do you really think nobody has tried this type of tactic against him? It won't work. The people in the 14th district of Texas know Dr. Paul and love him.

I'm not sure why its making you guys so mad. I've heard these same type of arguments over and over from neocons. Just fight a liar with the truth. That's all you have to do.

[RPTXState]

Friendswood is full of losers like Chris Peden.

I'm not surprised. It shouldn't matter; he'll do better than others, but not good enough.

Although Dr. Paul's district has grown in outside population lately....

[Ginobili]

From the chris peden website... is it just me, or is he trying to sound like someone else I know...?

I noticed that... steals parts of Ron Pauls speaches... uses christanity as a talking point... keeps the terrorism parts to build fear...

That's $175,000 donated this quarter combined with the $100,000 he [Paul, that is] already had. I expect Penden is in for a justly deserved thrashing.

That Peden guy is a trip "My name is Chris Peden. I'm a Pro-Family, Pro-Life Christian conservative who believes in free markets and individual responsibility. "conservative and supports the war in Iraq" thats a fucking Oxymoron..

apparently he caters to NASA.."supporter of NASA and the space program"
.something RP refuses to do.

Chris regularly volunteers to travel to Washington, D.C (who pays for those tickets i wonder?) as a member of Citizens for Space Exploration whose mission is to promote awareness of the benefits of human space exploration and support for NASA (again catering to NASA)

then goes on to say "I support winning the Global War on Terror and the War on Drugs, I think Islamo-Fascist terrorists were responsible for the 9/11 attacks; the incumbent thinks America's Middle East policy's were responsible for the attacks.I support fully funding NASA's budget and the Vision for Space Exploration; the incumbent does not. I will support and vote for the Republican nominee for U.S. President in 2008, the incumbent will not (unless it's him.)"

FYI Peden...you cant "Win" a war on Terror or a war on Drugs... as long as you have people motivated and money to be made you can't "Win"

Could we start grassroots effort in his district? We need to win the Texas Presidential primary anyway.

A bit of info on Peden and some recent lies:

http://countyseat.blogspot.com/2007/12/chris-pedens-cash-discrepancy.html

I also hear that he likes to hang around in airport men's rooms :D (j/k)

edit: adding a snip from the article:

But then Roll Call decided to do a little research...

Peden closed the third quarter with just $363 in cash on hand, while raising just $8,654 for the period.

In case you're wondering, that puts the "official" FEC numbers for his campaign at exactly $109, 637 short of the claimed mark...which may also explain the constant rumors we are hearing about Peden's desire to obtain a ballot spot by petition signatures rather thanthe standard $2000 filing fee.

I do think we all should throw in $10 or $25 to his congress bid, just to ensure a great victory. Although we are aiming for the presidency, should we not get it we sure as heck want his voice to be heard in Washington still. There's no reason we can't do both, and this surely is something the people in the $2300 club can contribute to (this is different from your donation to the presidential campaign)

"make English the official language"

[Cyclone]

Hey people,
How about sending him some money for his Congressional bid?

Show him we still care just as much as always!

Money bomb for Congress!

Someone pick a day and let's send him some big bucks. He can still do a hell of a lot as a Congressman if he has a few million making calls to Congress to get them to support his bills.

We can still change the country. It will just take a little more work. We had to change Congress anyway or a Paul presidency would be ineffective. So, let's change it over the next four years and then next time have a country that is ready for all of this.

[RonPaulFTFW]

We need to focus on this.
it's a fight we can win.

Mr. Peden:

Your smear campaign against the honorable Dr. Ron Paul will not work. Dr. Ron Paul is loved by his district and by millions of people in America and across the whole world. You can not and will not stifle the message of peace, liberty, and prosperity. His message of freedom is stronger than you could imagine. I will support Ron Paul's congressional campaign to make sure he has the financial resources to beat back your lies and distortions. Freedom loving Americans and people around the world will also be launching a massive money drive for Ron Paul for his Republican primary race against you. Good Luck.

Goodnight from Germany

Chris Peden is a Republican trying to unseat Dr. Paul. A few weeks ago in response to a request I heard on RPR, I went to Peden's website and read his platform and credentials. then I wrote a somewhat scathing letter in Support of Dr. Paul.

He believes int the Horrendous "Fair Tax" and is pro war.

After reading his stand on the issues, I was "forced" to respond. :D:D:D

At that time I saw no smear campaign.

Please write and support Dr. Paul. Try The Facts, a newspaper there.

Both.

Deal? $25? Right now?

What? Why is this a hard on for you? I'm not donating jack until Ron Paul says he's gonna run for President. Currently, he's just running for Congress. Comprende?

[Cyclone]

Apparently, you are the only one who agrees with yourself. This is the 5th time you've posted in this thread, seeking a reaction and getting none. Get out.

Nicely put.

So, let's go back to the idea of sending Ron Paul a money bomb for his congressional seat. If people don't want to join in, there is nothing forcing them to. For the rest of us, he needs money quickly, right. The race is in March. How about a week from today? Give us time to get the word out and let's get him a few million to fight this guy?

Anyone game? I think Saturdays are better than Fridays, so how about 2/16/08 - the Congressional bomb! Make sure you give folks his congressional address to send the money to so there is no confusion. If you maxed out on his Presidential race you can jump in again and donate to him. Is the limit 2300 for a Congressional bid too?

[abruzz0]

From the chris peden website... is it just me, or is he trying to sound like someone else I know...?

I think he may have started that idea in Louisiana

But I am a Republican, and I will remain a Republican.

I also have another priority. I have constituents in my home district that I must serve. I cannot and will not let them down. And I have another battle I must face here as well. If I were to lose the primary for my congressional seat, all our opponents would react with glee, and pretend it was a rejection of our ideas. I cannot and will not let that happen." - Ron Paul

Dr. Paul does not need his Congressional Seat!

He will be in the Whitehouse!

We need to come up with a 'Ron Paul Republican' to deal with the district during his absence.

[lastnymleft]

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

Every vote we gain for him in his Congressional seat will be a vote we gain for him for Texas' Presidential vote.

Or are you suggesting that Texans are stupid enough to support someone in their local district, but not support him becoming President?

[hyoomen]

In the context of tonight's email, I'm starting to wonder how dedicated Dr. Paul is to the White House. Obviously nobody wants to see him lose his district -- Dr. Paul certainly doesn't seem to be soldiering onwards to victory.

Nevermind...I probably don't have anything positive to say, so I'll just keep spreading the word and hoping. We need to start thinking about how to keep the spirit of our groups alive for the revolution to continue.

If you read Dr. Paul's most recent letter, you'll see this is not the case. Dr. Paul will not win the white house, and he will not run 3rd party. It's now a priority for the grassroots to donate to Dr. Paul's congressional re-election campaign ASAP. We've got to keep Dr. Paul in congress as an anchor of what this movement will accomplish over the next 4 years.

Let's show this Peden guy who he's dealing with!


Here is the garbage being flung at his constituents:

[We are almost to Lake Jackson now and will be spending time in the district campaigning for Ron. No matter what we still need his voice in Congress. I am praying for a miracle and he will be nominated but if not then lets don't lose him altogether.

We the grassroots have propelled Dr. Paul to a elevated position we still have a long way to go. The Campaign Committee has both slammed us in the face with incompetence and arrogance, that cannot make us so angry that we lose focus on our goals. The goal is to get Ron in the White house. Lets just do it.

With the dismal showing in the primary's we all became so disheartened because we believed all the computer gurus posting about wild resonses to our Candidate. Some are true but notice that while winning all the polls online has nothing to do with reality.. It only takes a click of the mouse to win a poll, to win a delegate it takes shutting down the computer and getting dressed and out to the streets. The primary votes showed that while people will absolutely vote in a poll they are too damned lazy to get dressed and go and vote in the voting booth. The internet is only a tool, it is not a weapon. to win this we have to get away from the internet and get into the main stream where most folks don't even have a computer or want one. We have to get back to the real world.

No doubt if the primary voting was done online Dr.Paul would have taken the country by storm. Too bad those very people voting over and over on the polls didn't take the time to cast a real vote.

The Lies of Chris Peden

On his endorsement page:

Garrett Womack, Pearland, TX/Feb 1, 2008, local GOP staffer says ...
" When I first found out about Chris I was excited...
compared to Ron Paul Chris looks like a true conservative.

This is why I endorse Chris Peden. "
The real comment was submitted the other way around by someone from these forums. They edited what he really said. LIE


the incumbent is a self-described Libertarian. I support winning the Global War on Terror and the War on Drugs; the incumbent does not. I think Islamo-Fascist terrorists were responsible for the 9/11 attacks; the incumbent thinks America's Middle East policy's were responsible for the attacks. I support fully funding NASA's budget and the Vision for Space Exploration; the incumbent does not. I will support and vote for the Republican nominee for U.S. President in 2008, the incumbent will not (unless it's him.)
Chris, you just contradicted yourself... conservative? Warmonger. Spender. Idiot. LIAR.


It is clear that I better represent the priorities and the values of the voters in the 14th congressional district.
You don't have any values. You're attacking a 72 year old man who the people love very much. You're a filthy liar and you don't have any values or morals.



If you agree that it is time for a change, send me to Washington. D.C, so that I deliver conservative results...for a change.
You will change nothing. You want to keep things exactly as bad as they were and exactly as bad as President Bush, who has VERY low approving ratings, has made it. LIE.



The men and women of the United States military honor us each day with their service and sacrifice. They deserve our respect, our prayers and deepest gratitude. If I am elected as your member of Congress, I pledge my commitment to secure the resources that our service men and women need to fulfill their mission as they safeguard our liberties.
Chris Peden, which presidential candidate got more millitary donations than any other? Which person got more than all the neocons running combined? You are a LIAR. You would not represent the troops.

He`s just another state worshiping little bitch trying to stifle the calls for liberty for his own aggrandizement. He is anxious to join his fellow whores in Congress so as to participate in the noble endeavor of stealing our liberty's to "make us safe." He will be defeated and exposed as the usurper of freedom that he is.

[TruthAtLast]

I've been "with you" since the beginning.

I know you're upset. But as far as I can tell.. he has not dropped out.

He's still running for president. I'm still supporting his presidential campaign.

You're the one acting as though he's dropped out. Closed up shop.

He has been running for congress simultaneously... this entire time. This is nothing new. I donated to his congressional campaign a month ago, and again last week.

Exactly Enzo. The TEXAS Presidential primary is not over. For him to promote himself in Texas, it helps both campaigns.

But ANYONE who thinks that this is just about the Presidential bid is living in a fantasy world.

Even if he WON the nomination he'd still have to win the general election, and even if he won that, he'd still be blocked by a DEM controlled Congress. Yes, it would be a great first step but all of our problems aren't solved EVEN IF HE BECAME PRESIDENT!!!!!

If you are in this just to support Ron Paul, then you would support him in whatever he is doing. If you are here to support his MESSAGE, then we need to do all we can to make sure he still has a platform to deliver it, whether it is on the Presidential campaign trail (which he is still doing) or in Congress.

But it sounds to me like some people want NEITHER. They are just on the bandwagon and like the idea of promoting the underdog and now want to pout in the corner because their "team" isn't winning.

Grow the fuck up. We're in the REAL world.

[itshappening]

this guys campaign as far as I can see is entirely negative and smear-led

he is running as the "not Ron Paul" candidate and doesn't care about the issues instead he's just attacking and smearing RP

Dont email him, he doesn't care, his attacks aren't even sincere, they're all designed to just get him elected

Eevn though their are some intentional misquotes on the add, it atleast gets Pauls message out about being anti-war and pulling the troops out right now. that may work against this chris guy.

[PaulTriumph]

I just read this on wonkette.com's coverage of RP's announcement:

"Ron Paul is a genius. He amassed a war chest of 30 million dollars, spent almost none of it, and now goes back to Congress. He can use that campaign money to guarantee his reelection to the House for the rest of his life, or probably even get himself a Senate seat. Genius, I tell you. 99% of those people would not have donated a single Amero to help he retain his seat in Congress or for a Senate run and he knew it. Now he's flush and sitting pretty."

This couldn't be true- could it?:(

[margomaps]

This couldn't be true- could it?:(

I don't think so. Not a dime of his money raised to secure the nomination can be used for his congressional race. I think he can use some/all of the money he raises for the general election campaign, but I don't think he's raising money for that yet.

can ron sue for libel on any of this stuff? blaming america?

In a victory for personal property rights, I voted to limit the city’s power of eminent domain to traditional uses and not for purely economic development reasons; in Texas a family’s home is their castle and it deserves to be protected from government bureaucrats.

umm... Still pro-taking peoples houses away... for ANY reason this is wrong. there is no good reason... time for the "Peden steals your home" smear campaign

[thoughtbombing]

*If* he should unseat Ron Paul, we should mobilize the meetup groups in the district to vote democrat. :D

BOTH TX CONGRESSIONAL AND TX PRES. PRIMARIES ARE ON SAME DAY--MARCH 4TH.

RP NOW HAS 2 FRONT BATTLE-


RP nor the Revolution can't afford to lose congressional seat nor the TX pres. primary---BOTH MARCH 4.

Take a look at the work RP has done in the House FOR ALL OF US

--from congressional web site.

EXAMPLE:

February 7, 2008: Congressman Paul Takes Aim at DC Gun Ban
"Congressman Ron Paul has signed on to a letter to the President asking that an amicus curiae brief filed by U.S Solicitor General Paul D. Clement on DC v. Heller, otherwise known as the DC Gun Ban Case, be withdrawn on the basis that the reasoning within, were it to be accepted by the Supreme Court, leaves open the door for more encroachments on individuals’ Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms."

* * *

Now, more for you naysayers on DP, go to Dr. Paul's Congressional web site and read Dr. Paul's work:

These are just a few...

Congressman Paul Takes Aim at DC Gun Ban

Congressman Paul Cosponsors "Combat Veterans Debt Elimination Act"

Congressman Paul Fights to Block Congressional Pay Raises

House Says Paul Again Set to Return Thousands to Treasury

Congressman Paul Introduces the Property Tax Deduction for All Act

Congressman Ron Paul Cosponsors a Tax Relief Bill

Statement on Federal Reserve Rate Cut

Congressman Paul Supports Moratorium on Internet Taxation

Congressman Paul Cosponsors "Taxpayer Choice Act"

Congressman Ron Paul Cosponsors "The Mortgage Cancellation Relief Act"

Paul Honored as "Taxpayers' Friend" for Tenth Consecutive Year

Paul Named to Top Post on Influential Subcommittee

Congress Extends Sales Tax Deduction Through 2007

http://www.house.gov/paul...

PS: RP's work above (and much more--got weary of copy/past) was done in congress WHILE CONDUCTING THIS PRES. CAMPAIGN!!

Not to mention, RP is defending the TX 'trans corridor' down there.

**** RP NOW HAS 2 FRONT BATTLE- BOTH MARCH 4****

My reply to that article - Should we have a Viva La Revolution website or something???? -

As an avid admirer of the good Dr. Ron Paul and a contributer to his Presidential Campaign - I for one would not be the LEAST BIT OFFENDED if he used my contributions to augment his Congressional Campaign - there is NO DISHONOR and certainly NO DISGRACE in using what ever funds have been sent to him to allow him to remain in Washington in what ever capacity the Lord will allow. It is now also my lifelong ambition to replace each and every member of the Whitehouse with simialrly minded individuals - thus turning the whole of congress and the senate into a majority of Freedom Fighting, Liberty Loving, Constitutionalists!

Here is a great article I found on Chris Peden's fund raising ability...

http://countyseat.blogspot.com/2008/02/chris-pedens-cash-redux.html

(sorry if anyone else has already linked)

Sounds like he's another Romney, trying to just buy an office with his own $.

134,000 dollars of his own money. Paul's republican primary opponent in 2006, Cynthia Sinatra, spent 150,000 of her own money trying to unseat Paul. She lost by 56 percentage points.

Those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it....

[Live Free or Die]

Just left a voicemail for Mr. Peden. I left my name & number, told him I was calling from New Hampshire and that even though I am not a resident of his district, I just donated $100.00 to Dr. Paul's congressional campaign. I said that the information on Peden's own website spurred me to donate to Dr. Paul (esp. the blame America for 9/11 statement), as I could never believe Peden was trustworthy after what he wrote on his own site.

I was very polite until perhaps my last line: "Mr. Peden, at this point, I believe you're toast."

Well, I actually donated the $100.00 4 days ago... but still, I hadn't thought to let Peden know why until this thread. So thanks, OP and thanks for the impetus for me to contact Peden. :)

[tpreitzel]

Strictly from some of the chatter here, Peden sounds like a basically "good" man. But, genteel and naive candidates are always promoted by the powers supporting them. This country is in a mess, because naive men are willing to run for office, and must then serve their masters once elected. We need principled candidates like Ron Paul that stand on constitutional principle and can NOT be bought and sold. Someone explain the latter issue to Peden, because I don't think he understands. Has Peden ever run for office before seeking Ron's seat?

Sorry, but right now we are in the middle of a Presidential election campaign for the nomination.

Please stop with these posts, we have work to do that is far greater then his Congressional seat. After he is President, it wont matter, and he cant have both jobs...

So, Peden was the mayor of a town. Geez. These clowns at FR and Redstate make one want to gag. :)

Sorry, but right now we are in the middle of a Presidential election campaign for the nomination. Trying to bring this Congressional crap here in the midst of this, is nothing more then a distraction. Please stop with these posts, we have work to do that is far greater then his Congressional seat. After he is President, it wont matter, and he cant have both jobs...

Thanks.

Mods: Can we please lock this thread?


Not true on multiple counts!

1) This forum is bigger than one presidential race. It's about spreading the message of Freedom, Peace, and Prosperity; Liberty; handing over a better country to the next generation.

RP has told us multiple times that the movement is bigger than himself - that he's merely a part of a revolution.

2) Money spent on the congressional campaign raises awareness and publicity in the 14th district of TX. People who go to the polls intending to vote RP for congress imo will have a greater likelihood of intending to vote RP for president.

3) If you win your own congressional district, you gain credibility as a presidential candidate.

RP is the champion of the constitution, and one way or the other, we need him to continue fighting to uphold the constitution.

I don't think this is a "distraction" at all. If Ron's supporters have maxed out on his presidential campaign, then they have every right to donate to his congressional campaign and those of other "Paulian" candidates. The blimp is grounded now, and I think there are far too many grassroots projects out there siphoning money away from the Big Picture. I donated to the Blimp, and also to Operation Live Free or Die (as did my children). But like many others here, I have no "disposable" income. I own no XBox/Wii/HD-PlasmaTV/New-fangled gadgets- my home is paid for, I have no credit card debts. I have always lived within my means.

But because we believe so strongly in Ron Paul and his message, both my spouse and I took on extra jobs to make a little more money. We use coupons and buy store brand foods, cut back on red meat (honestly this has been great for us!) all so we could both afford to max out. And we will continue to support Ron Paul AND his message, no matter who is delivering it. In my state, that is Jim Forsythe, and we are also donating to his congressional campaign. We are putting our money where our mouths are, because Ron's MESSAGE will help ensure that he will no longer be the "Lone Vote" in Congress.

So if anyone has maxed out on donations for Ron's presidential campaign, please consider donating to his congressional campaign, as well as the campaigns of other "Paulian" candidates in your state.

Also, working to get the word out about Peden (need not cost anything) will show him and others like him that We, the People have had enough, and we're not going to take it any more!

Look what the fascists at redstate say:

---
Ron Paul is racing back to his district to battle back against Chris Peden, the Mayor Pro Temp of Friendswood, Texas.

You know, having spent the past year bashing Jews, Republicans, the military, and the United States, it's great to see Ron Paul forced to flee the field.

I think Chris Peden might could use some money to keep up the fight against the anti-war movement's favorite Martian

and on freerepublic:

---
If any FReeper wants to send Rep. Ron Paul into retirement, please go to his able Republican Primary opponent, Chris Peden's website and donate as generously as you can.

* For full disclosure, I'm working on Chris' campaign. If you have questions about Chris' background or position on an issue that are not apparent on his website, FReep mail me and I'll try to get back to you with an answer or forward it on to Chris, if I can't answer it myself. I can assure you that Chris is solid on issues that most FReepers care deeply about. We are all working hard to unseat Rep. Ron Paul this Primary, as there is no Democrat that has filed. So our November is in March, less than a month away and we will be Paulbot free in TX CD 14.

Maybe you fail to understand, so since I'm seeing quite a few of these whiney posts, I'll explain how this works. If Dr. Paul fails to keep his congressional seat, it will pretty much doom any further presidential aspirations. So, yes, this is a presidential campaign themed forum, but we need to keep the congressional campaign afloat so we can have a presidential campaign to work on. Got it?

Even Dr. Paul's letter mentioned that this comes first.
