won primary in Open seat Congressional race

[james4congress]

Please consider supporting my Congressional campaign for Maryland's 4th district.

I won a four way primary race against opponents that actual spent money. I was out spent by 2.5 times by the president of the local Young Republican Club who had 10 times as many volunteers. As a Fred Thompson organizer and delegate, he collected thousands of dollars from Ron Paul supporters.

I got 39% of the vote even though another Ron Paul Candidate split the vote and took 22% of the vote. This RP candidate supported national healthcare and did not live in the district. Had he not run, I could have won a three way race with 60% of the vote.

As a Ron Paul delegate I recieved 3 times the votes of the average of other Ron Paul delegates in Maryland.

I am running against a far left progressive (socialist) Democrat in an open seat !
Because I am not facing an incumbent, I have a much better chance.

I support all of Ron Paul positions including abolishing the Federal Reserve, IRS and Department of Education, no undeclared wars, repeal the patriot Act, Real ID, etc.

My opponent has told the press she is now the "candidate elect" assuming the voters have no say in the November election.

My District borders Washington DC. Congress and the national press will sit up and take notice of the revolution when I win.

While Ron Paul was marginilized in Maryland, his message was not and can win the 4th District.

While other candidates are running in primaries, I have already past that test and am standing in the general election in an open seat.

I am very good at target marketing with direct mail and can run a very efficient campaign. I was able to deliver a powerful message for 25 cents a household about 20 cents per voter. I didn't waste money on signs, bumper stickers or radio and TV. I only mailed to the voters that actual voted which was only 20% of the registered republican voters.

I know how to identify and target the undeclared voters and the swing democrats I will need to win.

Your dollars will be well spent by my campaign.

I will be issuing JUST MONEY a interest free private local currency to teach the voters about the unjust money of the Federal Reserve.

Remember to focus on issues that resonate with voters. Abolishing the Dept. of Edu. is a goal for all of us, but I'm not sure I'd put it in broad ads, for instance, because people will think you're against education in general. Focus on how you want limited, constitutional government that will greatly cut spending and taxes, whereas your opponent will increase the size of the federal government and its spending, necessitating higher taxes. Save the specifics for when you speak at particular functions. E.g., ending the Department of Education and more freedom for homeschoolers when at a function for homeschoolers, or emphasizing your position (which I assume is the same as RP's) on greater benefits for veterans at their functions. You have to always remember to tailor your message because first impressions stay very strong in most voters' minds. Even if your view is completely different from how they first interpreted it, they'll always have it in the back of their mind and not be as sure about their support for you.


Also, I don't understand how someone can claim to be a Ron Paul Republican and support a National Socialized Healthcare System! :confused:

Good luck!

Another pointer - you'll want to work on your website a bit. Ask someone in General Discussion, we have a bunch of guys who'll make you a good webpage in under a week. The one you have now is kind of amateur, TBH.

Congratulations from a fellow Marylander! I live in district three, so I voted for Christopher Panasuk. I was wondering why there were two Ron Paul Republicans on the ballot in your district.

One suggestion - your website has a lot of neat content on it, but if you want to be taken seriously by both the media and your competitor, you should have it professionally redone. Here's your competitor's website: http://www.donnaedwardsforcongress.com/

I have limited resources and decide to put more information on the web site.

I attribute my success from my targeted direct mail campaign.

With the liberal media around here I am not sure anything will get them to take me seriously. Being currently outgunned I would prefer the my opponent doesn't take me seriously.

Someone said lead, follow or get out of the way. So you are welocm to spruce things up. Actually, I started on a .NET MSSQL for our local meetup that is what I hope to eventual move towards.

I am just waiting for a volunteer to step up.

I Figure I have just about the best chance of making in to congress among the 4 Ron Paul canidates that made it through the primaries in Maryland because I am running in an open seat. NO incumbent !

I could use an online donation feature asap.

Please feel free to make as many comments as you feel neccesary just make sure they are written on the back of your check.

Any .net programmers please apply. I would also consider redoing things in python ie. zope. and sqlite3 as the database.

Ialso need a copywriter to edit my content as I tend to produce lots of typos, as well as ill formed and run-on sentences.

Some voters as tired of slick campaigns and respond to candidates that have some meat to their message. he fellow would came is second is a professional web site designer, spent $5K on a video for his web site and tons of nice signs all over the district but his message was vague.
