You do realize this is only the beginning.
People are feeling frustrated and hopeless...remember..
"..and then there were 50"
I've put myself up as one of those 50 Ron Paul Republicans who will be seeking a congressional seat... and I have the experience and know-how to do it.

I've been organizing with all the main Ron Paul hubs to put together a congressional moneybomb for my campaign, and since we did so well in the caucus people know Louisiana as Ron Paul territory. And look at what a team we have here!

Check out the early build of my money bomb site: http://www.moneybomb1.com
Check out my completed campaign site: http://www.joinsanders.com

I've been keeping low key so we could all focus on Ron Paul, but I think its time we take this message even further and I'm starting to get a lot of support from all the forums.

Question is.... will you rally around me too?

There is hope... and our grassroots online will play a big part in the reclamation of congress.

I hope we keep this message alive. I am carrying the flag forward. Who's with me?

That's exactly what I was thinking yesterday. We need all the "Ron Pauls" we can muster to run for and get INTO congress. That's the best way to start making change.

I will definitely be a supporter and keep up with "the movement".

Kudos!!

I'm with you. Like I've said and have been saying, this is just the beginning. This revolution doesn't end with this presidential election, it's the opposite.

I am so happy that there are people who haven't been defeated and understood what we are up against.

Thank you and everyone else who has not given up!

Hi Brent, I visited your website. I read about your illegal immigration stance and notice you exempted emergency medical service from your list of services which should be denied illegal immigrants. Do you really think we the people should be forced to pay for the emergency medical treatment of people who have invaded our country?

Thank you.

I've gotten word from the northern part of my district that some heavy hitters (like Lee Fletcher who likes Ron Paul) may be willing to take position as campaign manager.
The only thing in the way of me getting started is the funds...
So bare with me, you will be hearing from me everyday on the progress of our upcoming moneybomb...
I don't want to take away from other candidates, but We can win this district in louisiana and I have the know-how to get it done.

Save me some pennys, looks like my major online push for funds will be around March 3rd.
be sure to bookmark the money bomb site: http://www.moneybomb1.com
It will keep you updated on the battle plan.
Also- I need someone who knows how to set up a pledge/email system similar to the ones used before on other sites. (though i'd rather avoid feedburner)
PM me or even better, the guy I put in charge of the site: stardreamer (here on the forums)

The emails I'm getting from my district, and the team I already have on the ground gives me great hope.
Stay with me, and be prepared for a great '08.

Dilios: And so my king died, and my brothers died; barely a year ago. Long I pondered my king's cryptic talk of victory. But time has proven him wise, for from free Greek to free Greek, the word was spread that bold Leonidas and his 300, so far from home, laid down their lives. Not just for Sparta, but for all Greece and the promise this country holds.
Now, here on this ragged patch of earth called Plateaea, Xerxes's hordes face obliteration!

Just there the barbarians huddle, sheer terror gripping tight their hearts with icy fingers... knowing full well what merciless horrors they suffered at the swords and spears of 300. Yet they stare now across the plain at *10,000* Spartans commanding *30,000* free Greeks! HA-OOH!

The enemy outnumber us a paltry three-to-one, good odds for any Greek. This day we rescue a world from mysticism and tyranny and usher in a world brighter than anything we can imagine.

I will have to look at why that was up on the site, I have had several webmasters, and my instructions was my platform is the same as Ron's.. and in fact, at one point, they were exactly the same because the webmaster just ripped it straight from Ron's old website before they updated.

To answer your question- no i don't think anyone illegally here should get anything for free... in fact, they shouldn't be here period.

All I know is what cnn told me --that huckabee and mccain won the state.

No one won because no one get 50%.
We will have a wide-open, anyone's guess state convention.
Out of trully committed delegates, we lead.
8- Ron
7 McCain
5 Romney
2 Huck

with 83 state delegates who have not made a firm committment to vote for any particular candidate as of yet(as far as they will say to anyone)

The Ron Paul delegation will be there in suits and evening gowns, with bright smiles and warm hugs...
My District will already have produced at least 2 national delegates for Ron, but we will also be voting on 20 more at the state convention, they may be putting my name up for nomation in that regard. I'm waiting to see what info Jen our local organizer has for me.

This may be why the lawsuit hasn't gone through yet, they may be waiting to see how the convention turns out before they pull the trigger. We are actually well recieved at these GOP gatherings.. except for those very few who feel threatened by our numbers..

Mr. Sanders also feels the problem of illegal immigration and the burden it places on our country must be addressed, but he points out that immigrants have always had a role to play in our country. “I welcome immigrants who desire to improve both their own lives and the prosperity of this nation, but they must do so in accordance with our laws,” he says. While he opposes using the military to patrol our borders with Mexico, Sanders strongly advocates increasing the size and training of our Border Patrol to curb illegal immigration. With regards to the use of tax dollars for illegal immigrants, Sanders says, “Our school systems should not be required to educate people who are here illegally. Our hospitals should not be required to provide services, except in cases of emergency, to illegal immigrants at the expense of American citizens and immigrants who have come here legally. This charity to illegals must stop now before it completely drains our resources.”

Well Torchbearer, I'd be with you, but I gotta fluff my resume first. I'm a mid 30's supporter... But only have GED and 7 years military experience. (Dropping out of high school may seem like a not so great idea, but if I decided to run, especially local elections, I'm 99% sure I can use this to my benefit.. Long story, but I went to school where I still live).

But, they run some pretty heavy hitters around here, and I'm going to have to get a degree and possibly some other resume fluff to even make a scratch. I'm working on that now, got me a 4.0 average and kicking ass.. just will take some time.

In the meantime, I don't have alot to donate to your campaign. But I'll scrape together what I can for you. You've been one of the most impressive ones around these forums in my opinion and a great patriot we need fighting for us in DC.

Thank you for finding that for me... in that context...
I don't believe illegals should get any free medical care... but if anyone is brought into the ER with near-fatal wounds... gunshot to the head... etc. I don't want the ER trying to figure out if the person is legal or not before they treat someone... such a government mandate could even delay treatment for people like yourself.
So that is the extreme exception and should not be construed as meaning I think illegals should get free medical care.... does that make sense now?

Hospitals as private organizations routinely check for insurance coverage. If an illegal has insurance should they get treated? If a freeborn does not have insurance do they get treated? I think you may agree the government should not be prohibiting medical care or enforcing medical care and that would keep them out of the hospitals altogether. That would be consistent with allowing the free market to operate as it sees fit.

I know of a woman in labor who was refused medical service and the baby was born in the waiting room and subsequently died. Should the government demand emergency medical treatment for anyone ever?

Just throwing some ideas out there for you to hone your position on, thanks.

If an illegal can pay for services, why should a business not take there money?
I can't find a reason to say to any private business you can't take someone's money.
When it comes to medical treatment, and let me rephrase that... extreme medical/ life or death emergencies... hospitals should treat first, verify later.
I don't think a federal mandate requiring all hospitals to adopt this policy is necesary.
I believe in humanity enough to know that if government gets out of the way... private charity will take over.
Can't afford the private hospital, try the Methodist hospital, or the Baptist hospital, or the Catholic Hospital, or the local Goodwill hospital etc.

Did you know if you can't afford medication, most private companies offer programs for you to get your medicine anyway? http://www.pparx.com

I don't see the federal government role as having anything to do with the above topics. The federal government shouldn't be in the business of regulate hospitals. That is up to the states and the people of the states.

Now i can talk about my personal feelings on the subject, but knowing that I respect the above statement on federalism, all these other questions just become my personal feelings.

I think we should provide emergency health care for everyone. HOWEVER, just because you can't check legal status checking them in doesn't mean you can't check it while they are getting treated. I don't think we should kick any seriously injured/dying person to the curb because they are illegal. But, I think that should be their last hospital trip. It should be the equivelant of turning yourself over to ICE once you are on your feet again.

We have a problem in this area because the emergency room cannot deny treatment. From what I've heard, many of the doctors are denying treatment at their offices, etc because of no insurance and inability to pay. But since they can't be turned away from the emergency room, they use it as a doctors office and can't pay. Everytime I go in there it's filled with illegal families, nobody appearing even remotely like they are on the verge of death.

Life saving treatment is the sole call of the ER staff and the golden hour rule. NO paper is shuffled at that time. After the emergengy is over, then the paperwork and who owes what is sorted out.

First, do no harm.

Carole
02-10-2008, 11:45 AM
I would define emergency as life or limb threatening. Just my personal thoughts.

While I believe it goes against humanity to deny that person treatment, I am thoroughly opposed to anything other than life or limb threatening.

The Hippocratic oath would seem to require any doctor to treat a real emergency. Otherwise would he not be in opposition to that oath?

I agree, but how do you stop nonpaying illegals from using it as a 24/7 free clinic? Here, they bring kids to the emergency room for colds and the like, knowing they cannot be turned away because they cannot pay. It's like a free clinic.

I'm not in health care, so I don't have the answer. However, it's not hard for someone to spend an hour or so around our ER waiting room and see the problem.

Alexmerced is making good headway in this area, PM him and see what he has cooking...

at this point in time there are about 20 sites vying for top spot as the one stop shop for our grassroots to find all our candidates.

I'm going ahead with my own moneybomb because my foundation is already set, I already have a large organization on the ground ready to go(ron paul meet-ups now are ready to campaign for me)

I am hoping to be the model by which all our candidates can be successful, but that is also my fear... we get this moneybomb together and it duds.
Kind of takes the air out of the ballon and would make us question if we really can do this.... that is why you will get tired of reading my post daily about my moneybomb.
It has to be a success. I need everyone to spread the word.. myspace, facebook etc. We have to do this...so that our members know that there are enough of us with enough resolve to truly keep this movement alive.
It is our test... and I'm setting it out before us.

Everything I am developing right now, can be retooled for all our future candidates. We are working on the model for success.
This is why everyone reading this right now is so important. Without you... I'm just another "kook" in a failed revolution that will be discarded by the local media etc.
But with a warchest and a campaign manager like Lee Fletcher, I'm the upset special of the year.

I'm pumped.... I think we can do this....
We raised 6 million in one day for Ron Paul, we could fund 24 congressional campaigns with that much money. We can do this!

I will have banners like this:

<a href="http://www.joinsanders.com/index.html"><img src="http://billakanodoodahs.com/wp-content/uploads/brentsanders2.png"/></a>

that can be put up on all the networking sites and blog sites, and whn the moneybomb banners are ready, you won't need to do anything, the banner will update itself. Thanks to forum member Bill AKA NoDoodahs for the help!

I feel confident that the people running the ER can determine emergency from non-emergency. If federal policies were out of the way.. I don't see why the ER could tell someone their "cold" or "upset" stomach should be taken care of at another facility that in non emergency.
But of course, I'm talking about letting the hospitals decide.
I have to be careful, I don't want you to think my personal feelings are the same as my governmental policies. I want the federal government out of the business of regulating anything medical.
We should have 50 competing systems between the 50 states to find in a free market of ideas which policies work best for which states.

Here is a vague budget i'm looking at for my campaign, this is based off of my previous run in 2006 along with a schedule of how the organization needs to flow:

First(early feb.)- settling a date. March 3rd is ok?

Second(mid to late feb), need promotion and pushers for that date on a daily basis on every main ron paul site. everyone needs to know about it... start today.

Third(march3rd), raise the funds.

Fourth(march) put together the committee, campaign manager, treasurer, vice-chair, communications director, at least one office in the district that is visible. begin planning.
(I already have most of the plans for these areas, but i can't offer the spots until funds are available)

Fifth(april), production of new commercials, new radio ads, booking of air time, setting up future local fundraisiers(if i raise $300,000 online i already have commitments for large donors to join in the funding- in their eyes i need to prove my organization)

Sixth- May-Sept. start press releases, schedule public appearances, visit civic groups, etc.

October, win the primary

November win the election.

December move to DC and bring all of you with me.

I'd come up with a mock budget, but the numbers could easily change:
treasurer and campaign manager may take up $75,000
Commercial productions should be less than $10,000.
Office rentals one or two: $10,000 to $20,000
Air Time: $150,000- $200,000
Transpotation, fuel, misc $5000

This budget covering all 2008 expenses. Air time buys being the larger chunk. My district cover 1/4 the state and two major cities.

I am very hesitant to just support anyone claiming to be on the Ron Paul platform. It would be like supporting McCain just because he claims to be conservative. That said, I have read your positions and support them. I have also read many of your posts on this forum and I find you to think before you act. Very important. Some minor questions I would like to ask. If I may quote your website,

Mr. Brent Sanders of Alexandria has formally announced his candidacy for 5th District Congressional Representative. Sanders graduated high school from Holy Savior Menard High School and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology from Louisiana College. Mr. Sanders is very concerned by the direction of many of the policies being followed by our government in Washington, D.C and by those who claim to represent the citizens of Louisiana. After much deliberation, he has resolved that the best remedy for this problem is to ask the constituents of Louisiana’s 5th Congressional District to support him in working for better, more intelligent government. there is lacking information on your experience.

Could you go into greater detail on your work, political, and real life experience. Only thing listed is educational experience.
Also, who is your competition why do you think you can do a better job then them?


Where is the 5th district? I know two members of the military who are still home stated in Louisiana (Baton Rouge) who would be interested in your positions. I applaud your effort sir and wish you the best of luck in the great state of Louisiana.

Good Luck,
Jason

in case you have somewhere you can put it to help promote the site, hopefully we will have our pledge/email part finished for the night. webmaster is out of pocket right now, but he's probably recharging his batteries... maybe i should take a few hours just to get some fresh air and clear my mind...
I have much to do tonight with both my campaign and ron paul's campaign with our upcoming state convention.

I agree that there needs to be more 'liberty' politicans in office. But they have to be smart and rational people, not crazed ideologues which seem to make up 90% of the people on this forum.

I'm not saying that you are one of those people, but honestly at this point if a congressional candidate said they are a ron paul supporter, that would be a red flag to me.

Thanks for the updates. Not meant as a slight in anyway, but I hope you don't dig into his personal life unless it has something to do with him abusing his power as 5th district congressional representative.

Opinion warning: I could care less what someone does in their own house as long as it is legal and ethical and they aren't abusing their power. I honestly don't think that you are bringing up personal subjects, but items where he abused his power. Which is good. Just thought it needed to be said. (Not like it matters two puffs since I live in Colorado).

End the war of drugs period. No DEA, zip nada zero.
The federal government has no authority to regulate what you choose as an adult to put in your body.

It is collectivism of the brand like the USSR that believed, if its worth doing, its worth forcing someone to do it under threat of imprisonment.
And this line of thinking is not compatible with freedom.

To put in focus how important my moneybomb is on March 2-3rd...
There are big time players in the state who have told me, if I can prove myself, they will join my team....
There are also some big time donors who have stated the same...
So, if we can reach my goal of $300,000 are at least get really close... I can raise a lot more locally from very generous donors, and I will have the backing of some prominent Republicans in the area...
but that all hinges on how well I can fund raise by March 3rd.

People are feeling frustrated and hopeless...remember..
"..and then there were 50"
I've put myself up as one of those 50 Ron Paul Republicans who will be seeking a congressional seat... and I have the experience and know-how to do it.

I've been organizing with all the main Ron Paul hubs to put together a congressional moneybomb for my campaign, and since we did so well in the caucus people know Louisiana as Ron Paul territory. And look at what a team we have here!

Check out the early build of my money bomb site: http://www.moneybomb1.com
Check out my completed campaign site: http://www.joinsanders.com

I've been keeping low key so we could all focus on Ron Paul, but I think its time we take this message even further and I'm starting to get a lot of support from all the forums.

Question is.... will you rally around me too?

There is hope... and our grassroots online will play a big part in the reclamation of congress.

Before, it would spit out some error message after donations, we fixed the error message, but i wonder if that broke something else...

If you see DrKnows lurking on the board, tell him i'm looking for him for his help in making sure the widget is working properly, it was working as of the 8th.

How does it work for districts? Is there one Republican candidate and one Democrat candidate, with various independants/people from smaller parties running as well?
My honest opinion - if you are able to become the sole Republican candidate for your district, then you are taking the same approach Ron Paul is. But if you are running as an independant against already nominated Republican and Democrat candidates, you are an extreme longshot and you ought to first win the nomination of either party to be taken seriously. Otherwise you are wasting other people's precious time and diverting their limited funds.
I'm all for the Revolution and taking the country back district by district and state by state. But just as Ron Paul chooses to work from within the party (because that is the only realistic way of achieving anything), so should you. Otherwise you are just a diversion. But if you get the nod from the party to be the official candidate, then you have accomplished something, you have proven that you can be recognized favorably by your peers and you are much more worthy of support from others.
That's what I think.

Spread the word.
3000 people at $100 dollars each would make the goal easily.
All I have to do is prove viability to the local affluent and I could easily raise another $200,000 locally, plus have some big name republicans on my team.

I'm anxious.. excited... because i know this is a goal we can accomplish!

When I win, I will take my oath of office seriously... my intentions are clear, to reinstate the U.S. Constitution and to see to it that government is once again bound by its chains.

Just like Ron says.. This isn't about me... I just have the vehicle to get us all there.

Have you thought about getting ronpaulgraphs to maybe get a graph setup of money coming in that day, to sort of add to the excitement? People donating love watching those graphs...

Here is an awesome email I recieved from one of meet-up members....


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. Brent Sanders(who is running for congress 5 th Dist) is lobbying them 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. Please listen to this.

I'm running as a republican and i've been on phone calls all day with prominent republicans in my area who want alexander out.
They are just waiting for me to prove my viability before committing to endorsing me.
That is where all of you come in... help me raise the funds to prove viability and I'm in... the rest of the money will flow from the local power brokers.

Excellent! Then you are doing everything right. You are at the forefront of this Revolutionary change.
I visited your website and I have 2 suggestions: Put the date of the vote and any other important dates in a prominent place. Mention that you are a member of the Republican party and that your goal is to be nominated as the Republican candidate.
You are an excellent example Brent and I would be delighted to see you in Congress with R.P.!

I will definitely be a supporter and keep up with "the movement".

Congress is important, but I think we need to focus on the local and state level as well, maybe even more so. That is why I am running for a State House Seat... we need to restore the base first, before we can lift up the Federal Candidates. Heck, lets try to do both... We need State and Federal Senators, Reps, Governors, and especially Judges. <---- Judges are extra important.

Section 2 - The House

The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature.

No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.

(Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.) (The previous sentence in parentheses was modified by the 14th Amendment, section 2.) The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five and Georgia three.

When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies.

The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.

Way to go Brent, this is awesome!!


I've been talking about this for a while now. Getting individuals with Ron Paul's platform into congress is JUST AS IMPORTANT as a Ron Paul nomination.

Imagine a team of Ron Paul congressmen and women moving our ideals forward.

Ron Paul's bills may have some staying power. Not only that, but a lot of other people in congress agree with Ron Paul, but they are SCARED to be the only vote with him.

If there is a voting bloc going Ron Paul's way every time, it can bring others already in congress over the fence and onto our side!

Technically yes, but i would not expect him to do such.. each of us, as a candidate, need to be able to raise money by proving ourselves to the grassroots.
A free market approach to funding the more desirable candidates.. because each individual will make a vote of confidence with a donation.

That is why I ask.. who is with me?

Have you been in contact with the campaign at all? Getting an endorsement I think would be huge in your district and give you the legitimacy your looking for.

I know a couple others have gotten the endorsement.


I know Dean Santoro should have one, he's just waiting for it in writing before he announces it. He said RP and the campaign have been real busy, but RP is following Dean's campaign and is supporting him. I know Dean and RP keep in touch.

I thought my own efforts in this movement would have earned the respect of my fellow patriots without a seal of approval from Dr. Paul.
I can ask if it really makes that much of a difference, but I would hope my own actions speak on my behalf, not Dr. Paul.

I assume he's a very busy man, and to seek his endorsement at this time would be rude. I am willing to prove myself... as my own man.

I don't think it hurts, and I don't think it's a demand either.

I do think once Ron Paul's situation settles down, and he's available to speak with you, it only helps. It's kind of like the icing on the cake, but I wouldn't say it's necessary.

Dean got involved because every time Ron Paul came to South Florida, Dean was one of the main people to organize everything and help raise money for Ron Paul and do so much to put together events and speaking engagements etc. That's where that came from.

I think it's easier to raise money on a national level with an endorsement. But from a district perspective probably not as necessary.

On the forums, you've been here forever and I remember the work you put into getting things done for the Ames Straw Poll...I think you won't have a problem finding supporters from this forum.

I don't know much about the nascar situation, but I was wondering about that myself.

However, I'm sure a lot of people devoted so much energy into a project like that, they want to see it come to fruition no matter it's relevance anymore. I still wish them the best of luck.

Hopefully as a few more primaries come to a close we can start focusing more and more on the congressional races. I truly believe these races can take back the republican party the neocons hijacked over the lat 10+ years.

I like non-traditional ideas.. its just the timing is off.

If only I knew the magic words to say to bring to conciousness like a virus... the ideas expressed in this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6015291679758430958

Brent, I'm asking for donations to run educational ads through my 501(c)3 Religious Organization.

The donations are tax deductible for U.S. Citizens, and the amount that can be donated are NOT limited in any manner.

Also, if you know any people outside of the U.S., non U.S. Citizens can donate unlimited amounts as well.

What I plan on doing is running Educational ads that lay out the issues, and allow people to come to their own conclusion as to who to vote for.

For example, like the issue comparison chart here: TheConservativeAlternative.com (http://TheConservativeAlternative.com)

Here's a link to the thread I started about it:

Non U.S. Citizens - Maxed Out Donors - U.S. Tax Deductible Donation Idea for Ads

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?p=1249069


I have Google Checkout, PayPal, and ChipIn accounts ready. I'll gather the links and post them in the thread.

If I can get any financial support for the Voter Educational Ad Campaign,
perhaps we can work together to determine how to best make use of the ads in your race as well.

I'm also looking for grassroots support in designing ads, websites, ect.

This is an all volunteer effort, all donations will be completely transparent, and used 100% on the ad campaign.

You do realize this is only the beginning.
People are feeling frustrated and hopeless...remember..
"..and then there were 50"
I've put myself up as one of those 50 Ron Paul Republicans who will be seeking a congressional seat... and I have the experience and know-how to do it.

I've been organizing with all the main Ron Paul hubs to put together a congressional moneybomb for my campaign, and since we did so well in the caucus people know Louisiana as Ron Paul territory. And look at what a team we have here!

Check out the early build of my money bomb site: http://www.moneybomb1.com
Check out my completed campaign site: http://www.joinsanders.com

I've been keeping low key so we could all focus on Ron Paul, but I think its time we take this message even further and I'm starting to get a lot of support from all the forums.

Question is.... will you rally around me too?

There is hope... and our grassroots online will play a big part in the reclamation of congress.

I hope we keep this message alive. I am carrying the flag forward. Who's with me?

-Brent

Best of luck with your money bomb, Brent.

Hopefully the 14th will be a big day too.

Everyone go to libertywarchest.com and sign up to take part on the money bomb that will take place on Feb. 14th that will benefit RP's Congressional Campaign & RPR's running for Congress, like Brent & BJ Lawson.

And if you do take part in it I strongly recommend that you make BJ Lawson and Brent two of the candidates you donate to that day.

Sanders,

Your campaign's website is very professional. My compliments to your designer. I see no mention of religious beliefs though. Do you have any religious beliefs?
