As an OB/GYN for more than twenty-five years, I have been fortunate to deliver more than 9,000 babies and in 2010 I was asked to review and give a declaratory statement of North Carolina’s Women’s Right to Know Act by the North Carolina House Majority Leader.

Can we get him a wiki page? There's enough information including public polls, news reports, his website and the fact that he's running to consider him a public figure worthy of one.

Jmdrake can maybe write him one although I'm sure he may need more information about his background than we have in the public domain at this moment in time.

As a Christian, I believe marriage is between one man and one woman.

For years, activists have been attempting to use the federal government to force individual states and citizens to accept their view of same-sex marriage.

Unfortunately, the Obama Administration stopped enforcing the Defense of Marriage Act.

The Defense of Marriage Act was enacted in 1996 to stop Big Government in Washington from re-defining marriage and forcing its definition on the States. The Defense of Marriage Act prevents places like San Francisco and New York City from imposing their definition of marriage on North Carolina.

The Obama Administration’s actions are not only an assault on traditional marriage, but show a profound lack of respect for the Constitution and the Rule of Law.

If elected to the U.S. Senate, I pledge to do everything I can to stop bureaucrats and unelected judges from imposing their definition of marriage on the people of North Carolina.

That's the biggest pile of shit I have ever heard. No thank you. Unless his position is government OUT of the definition of marriage then, no. I'm tired of this shit. He is FOR government definition of something that is not governments role.

He doesn't pass the test. Better than Hagan? Yeah. But not enough that I care.

Stop the shit already. He is functioning ON a DEFINITION of marriage as one man/one woman. Defined by government. Benefits. He is fine with the current definitions and the benefits granted by government to men AND women by marriage. His post shows he is FINE with the current definition and that he will endeavor to block any change to this.

No. I'm just a no shitter. It's kinda funny. The gay marriage issue is not of terrible import to me. I'm straight. But I knew that, even before I had clicked on the marriag link, where he would stand. I don't care for him.

So you want him to say that he supports same-sex marriage in a state that just passed a marriage amendment defining marriage between one man/one woman? I agree with him personally, but even if you disagree with him, this is such a small issue that will almost never be debated in the near future. We need him in the senate to fight on issues like the debt, against the NDAA and the Patriot Act, and for lower taxes.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks. That would make sense from Jack's point.

Unfortunately, marriage is an issue wrapped up in federal AND state government.

Brannon it would seem then is fine with taking it to a state level, But on the state level he wants to define it as a man and woman and keep the distraction well within the bonds of government.

Yes, and knowing Greg Brannon personally I know we hold the same position on marriage. There is a reason that Ron Paul, brave as he is to stand in opposition to all the powers, also thought this way but articulated the position identically to Brannon. And NC is worse than Texas in this regard.

With a little decoration tossed in to assure the irrationals that he's not about to run around NC performing seam sex marriage ceremonies.

Because the State level position is 1000% irrelevant to what Brannon is running for.

Try and learn the lessons from Rand's campaign in Kentucky. Hopefully we can help Greg with cash and try help the campaign along. Outside endorsements would be nice since it's an open seat they shouldn't be too hard to get.

I really think Brannon has a great chance and it's very similar to Rand in Kentucky, you just need to reach out and convince the primary electorate across the state with his bio, his positions and his activist background. I can't see it being too much of a difficult sell. Remember Rand railed against "career politicians"

You don't need to worry about them that much, just look at how Rand did. The key period for him was between July-December, he took the lead in December and never looked back. I dont even think he was using paid media by then either... he was just attending lots of meetings and reaching out to the groups and and had a lot of free media coverage.

That's also a key, getting the local TV stations and newspapers to cover him. The recent poll will help, for example the TV networks in the state should now be running pieces like "So who is Dr. Greg Brannon and how is he polling better than the House speaker?" and if they're not you need to be calling them and insisting they get a crew to his office and do it.

Obviously he's not going to ignore the base, and he has been attending all kinds of meetings. We just know which demog we have to break into.

I'm not his campaign manager, so my input is a bit limited. I'm running for State Vice Chair instead. He has picked Reilly O'Niel as his campaign manager.

Well, PPP are based in NC and they're a political polling organization. If they don't know who he is then how do we expect everyone else to?

He needs to reach out to political insiders. Journalists from the network news and state newspapers need to start profiling him and that poll is a good excuse to get the ball rolling. He can then run with it all the way to the nomination .

Gunny, are you an unofficial adviser to his campaign? Have you got a plan to move swiftly up in the polls and unite Tea party groups in N.C?

Try and learn the lessons from Rand's campaign in Kentucky. Hopefully we can help Greg with cash and try help the campaign along. Outside endorsements would be nice since it's an open seat they shouldn't be too hard to get.

I really think Brannon has a great chance and it's very similar to Rand in Kentucky, you just need to reach out and convince the primary electorate across the state with his bio, his positions and his activist background. I can't see it being too much of a difficult sell. Remember Rand railed against "career politicians"
And putting 20k miles on his vehicle crisscrossing the state. Speak true and speak often; Brannon can win this.

Tom Woods would call them the "no gazebo" crowd.

"We love the free house and the 6000 sq. feet, but no gazebo?!?"

Which is why *I* am the one who recommended he take up Ron Paul's rhetoric on the matter even though he agreed with me. Because the State level position is 1000% irrelevant to what Brannon is running for. It's not smart to hemorrhage electoral support based on a completely irrelevant issue to your potential office that straight up 60% of the voters will NOT comprehend anyway no matter how well you articulate it.
Gunny understands the way this game is played.

No time to research right now. WHo is this guy? Is he a serious candidate? Any prior political experience? Any bad associations like neocons/conpsiracytards?

Edit: His website looks really good.

Take Ron's principles, Rand's rhetoric, and my stubbornness and blend until homogenized.

Apparently he was partly inspired to activism by what I was doing in the House, and I'm the one who encouraged him to run.

The Daily Paulers would rather support more Dennis Kucinich's for political office than support the kind of right-leaning libertarians that we support.

Daily Paulers seem to have a lot of lunatics among them. That site has gone crazy. Maybe the saner folks leave after elections.

Very few of the active members actually post anything and I suppose that's similar to here. But, they get somewhere north of 115k guests a day and that could really help in terms of fundraising for activist ventures if they had a mind to use it more effectively. However, between all the banner ads, expensive and cheap, added up with the biannual DP fundraiser it's obvious that Nystrom is in it for the $$$$$ and not to use his audience for effective action to institute change.

If only we cared as much about people like Greg Brannon getting elected as we did about whether or not Glenn Beck is good for liberty... Brannon would probably be our best Senator if we just got him in there, and he also can appeal to teocons and socons, so this is a fight we can win.

Rand needs help in the Senate and Brannon would be huge in that regard.

Actually, I will contact Beck so he can give this man some airtime. Beck helped Cruz emerge from obscurity and he could help Brannon by merely getting his name out.
