There are three big moneybombs tomorrow to celebrate Constitution Day, September 17th. I'll briefly sum up what is going on for each candidate raising money and let you make your own decision on who to support.
Glen Bradley: Vice-chairman of the Franklin County GOP in North Carolina, you may know him better on ronpaulforums as "GunnyFreedom". Him and Jacque have been single-handedly campaigning for a State House seat recently vacated by a long-time Democratic incumbent. A PPP poll has Glen with a solid lead in the race over his opponent, but the district still leans Democratic. In order to hand out literature and host major events, Glen needs a pretty decent chunk of funding. Luckily, House races are much cheaper than Congressional races. You can donate here (http://glenbradley.net/node/17).
BJ Lawson: The other libertarian-leaning doctor running for Congress. In 2008, BJ was probably the best-funded Ron Paul Republican running. He finished with 35% of the vote against entrenched incumbent David Price. Nevertheless, BJ seems to be closing the gap this year, with the Tea Party wave predicted in 2010 and increasing name recognition in the district. A recent internal poll had the race as a statistical dead-heat, and the incumbent has done little fundraising or campaigning in the race. The shocker? BJ has raised less money than he did in 2008. With more money to blanket the airwaves, Ron Paul Republicans could pull off one of the biggest upsets in 2010. Donate to BJ here (https://www.lawsonforcongress.com/contribute).
Justin Amash: An elected politican who is actually on our side. After a stint in the Michigan House of Representatives for two years [where he became famous for posting all of his votes there on Facebook], Justin Amash is running for Congress. He won a hotly contested primary in a landslide in his relatively safe Republican district. Nevertheless, he does have a fairly well-funded Democratic challenger. Justin hasn't asked for much since the start of the general election campaign, so it may be time to give a boost to his campaign coffers. Donate here.
