Are you running?

[Nate K]

Are you running for a political position in the coming years?? If not, why not?

It is your duty to your country, to either run for a position or find people in your area to run in your stead. After looking at PaulCongress.com, we have a lot of people who have won the primary, and this is in a presidential election year!! In 2 more years, the ball's in our court.

If you're not running for Senate, the least you can do is run as a Representative. If you're not running for that, the least you can do is run for State Senate. If you're not running for that, the least you can do is run for State House! And if you won't do a position under that, then you need to get others to do so and FUND THEM!

What about me, will I run? You bet. I'm 17 now and moving to Texas in a couple years, but I will still be helping out my local Libertarians until I can run myself.

Everyone should consider this, it's important.

[Agent CSL]

I'm 18 so running isn't in my near future. I may run in the next 10-20 years when I've learned a lot more and have more experience under my belt. For now I help out whomever I can.

I'd run if there was an empty seat though. Hehe. :p

[The One]

No, too many skeletons in my closet. I'd be eaten alive.

I did not have sexual relations with The One. :eek:

[RonPaulFanInGA]

The filing deadline for Georgia hasn't finished yet and I was thinking about running for state senate in my district against a democrat with no opposition.

The filing though seems like too much of a hassle, I wouldn't be able to raise any money and it's a well-populated strongly-democratic district. So I've kind of just ruled it out.

[dvictr]

once i make $10,000 per day or 4 million a year... i will consider serving this country.

[Elwar]

I'd like to but I'm not one to stay in one place for more than a few years so it makes it hard to peel off that "outsider" mentality.

[weslinder]

Unless you count Republican Party Precinct Chairman, which is technically an elected position, but is normally appointed because it's rarely contested, I have no plans for public office. I would certainly consider a run for State House, but in Texas it only pays $7200/year, so you either have to be independently wealthy or work for someone who would rather have the influence than have you their in person. I will work to get liberty-minded individuals elected at every turn.

What about the Other?

One or the Other, you've got to chose ;)

[WilliamC]

I'll get involved in my local Republican Party (since Ron Paul is staying with them) but I won't be running for any public office.

I'm not really electable what with my lack of religious beliefs and my not ever having been much of a popular person.

I have this uncomfortable habit of speaking my mind and not caring about the consenquences :)

[pinkmandy]

Lol, William.

I am when I get to NH. :) I will do whatever I need to do there. I'd like to be a state delegate if there isn't one already where I move. Otherwise, I'll find out what is needed and go for it!

[LandonCook]

I'm 19 and yes. I have and still am running. I'm going for more than just county chair, im going for district and beyond. I can then run for state rep in 2 years and Congressman in 6.

I'm agnostic in the bible belt.... so thats not an excuse.

Age really doesn't matter... In fact, I wish I was younger...

I've been known to Race cops and party alot in my town... So unless you've killed someone...

My grandfather is in the mafia, that wont help much.

[SaratogaForRonPaul]

Kidding me? This day and and age, it will probably get you elected. ;)

lol i guess you have a lot to learn. :P

i'm running for Congress this year. It's not about me. I have things in my past like everyone. I wont let the Man stop me. I've made mistakes but I'll be a damned good Congressman so people will have to chose:

me or someone who pretends to be perfect in their past.

[nullvalu]

Yep. Running for State Delegate & Precinct Committeeman.

[silverhandorder]

I think I need to be 25 to run right? So yeah by 2014 I will be ready.

[yongrel]

I won't be running in the next decade, but I will eventually.

[TXcarlosTX]

2 years i plan on running for state rep here in san antonio.

thats was i can start next year, the guy id run against is a demo that people like. plus he has a twin that ran for mayor. so there face is well known.

my face is well known around bars. haha

[virginiakid]

If you are going to run for office then be prepared. Know the local issues, know everything there is to know about your opponent, know the tactics that they will probably use, know the names you will be called, and build your base now, so when you do run, you are not scrambling to find supporters.If you plan to run in the future, start running NOW.

[nate895]

I'm running in 2010, and I'd qualify for the ballot with two weeks to spare (I'd turn 18 May 22nd, and the filing deadline is in early January).

[Acidlump]

I think I need to be 25 to run right? So yeah by 2014 I will be ready.

Depends on what you are running for. Congress is only 21, Senate is 25, President is 35. other positions various age limits

[theantirobot]

I plan on running for congress, and building a coalition of aspiring congress people to join me.

[nate895]

No, Congress is 25, Senate is 30, and President is 35.

[JosephTheLibertarian]

I can't run because Huey Long said he won't be my campaign manager :(

[Kotin]

city council 2008.

[jsgolfman]

Precinct Committeeman 2008, County Council 2010

[LandonCook]

No, State Rep is 21, Congress is 25, senate is 30

[Michael Landon]

I'd love to but I'm not allowed to. Because I'm a Federal Employee (Letter Carrier - USPS), the Hatch Act prohibits me from running for a government position. Well, I could quit my job and run but it's hard to support a family (wife and 3 children) without any income.

[nate895]

No, State Rep is 21, Congress is 25, senate is 30

In my state, it is 18 for state rep.

[LandonCook]

In my state, it is 18 for state rep.

Damn, we need to change the rules in Arkansas then... Because I want in.

[Myerz]

Yes...I am running for PCP in my precinct. Precinct Commitee Person > State Delegate > National Delegate !!!!

[dawnbt]

No, too many skeletons in my closet. I'd be eaten alive.

[ziggrl]

I'm a drunk.

[rajibo]

I'm a drunk.

So is most of Congress.:D

[d03boy]

should have made an option "in the future" because I dont know exactly when/if I will run. I hope so though

[Elijah]

A option of "Thinking about it" would be appropriate.
