Paul Broun Wins Congressional Seat in GA on a Ron Paul Platform

[Joe Knows]

Here are a couple of interesting articles on the special election that was held in GA. The first article is an opinion piece on what will happen in the special election which was published on Election Eve.

The second article is the results of the election that ended up with the underdog winning. He campaigned on a Ron Paul platform and ran against the GOP establishment.

I am going to look at this race closer. On the surface it seems to me to show that Ron Paul's positions have much more broad support than anyone would think.

[qednick]

Awesome. We need more politicians like this and RP.

[remaxjon]

its like reading the future!:)

[torchbearer]

I will be running for congress in 2008 on the same platform, anyone want to help? :)

[LastoftheMohicans]

I was looking on his website last night and it looked like he supported the Iraq War.

[Dan Klaus]

good read...like how the underdog didn't give up and ended up winning...kinda sounds like a scenario I would love to see with our guy..

[DAZ]

I think the margin of victory is still within 1%. That would mean an automatic recount.

[beermotor]

Yeah. The only thing that sucks about this guy is he is pro-war.

But maybe he can be reeducated.

You beat me to it, Joe!

From the American Spectator

Athens physician. His father was a state legislator for 38 years, albeit as a Democrat; however, his name endures in the Athens area, as the main highway circling the city is known as the Paul Broun Parkway. The Paul Broun running in this election, though, is light-years apart ideologically from his more liberal father. A self-described "strict constitutionalist" who is committed to "restor[ing] government according to the Constitution as our Founders intended," Broun has said that he, like Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), will "always carry a pocket Constitution" on his person while in Congress, and will "apply a four-way test to all legislation" (in essence, is each piece of legislation constitutional, moral, needed, and affordable?).

Broun is a proponent of private property rights, an opponent of illegal immigration, and a supporter of the FairTax, or national sales tax (as well as the abolition of the IRS). He is a member of the National Rifle Association and president of the local affiliate, the Georgia Sport Shooting Association. Further, he is pro-religious freedom, and is very outspoken against "the ACLU and Activist Federal Judges," who he says are "destroying America's heritage of religious freedom and religious expression."

[Bradley in DC]

from the Yahoo article

As evidence of his independence, Broun emphasized a Ron Paul-like committed to "work to restore government according to the Constitution as our Founders intended." While the Georgia appears to be a more cautious constitutionalist than the maverick Texas congressman who is making a longshot bid for the party's presidential nomination in 2008, Broun borrowed one of the most popular of Paul's principles, promising that if elected he would assess any new legislation by first asking: "Is it constitutional and a proper function of government?"

No one was going to confuse Broun with a liberal, but he did display a Paul-like libertarian streak, suggesting that the federal government ought to stay away away from issues gay marriage and legalizing marijuana -- matters that the candidate suggested are best handled at the state level.

"I believe in the 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which clearly says that all powers not specifically given to the federal government, or prohibited by the Constitution to the states, are reserved to the states and the people," Broun said. "I am not a person who believes that our lives should be controlled by politicians in Washington. I do not believe that the states are merely administrative units of the federal government, to do its bidding."

Whitehead responded by attacking Broun, using the standard anti-gay, anti-crime rhetoric of the party's congressional leadership.

It didn't work. And there is a lesson here for those who suggest that the dip in the popularity of Congress is merely a problem for Democrats. The disdain for Washington's way of doing things appears to be bipartisan.

fucking awesome dude... so now there are 2 exceptions to the gang of 535... Besides we need a constitutionalist in congress after ron paul makes it to the white house

[DAZ]

Can't win em all. I didn't follow the campaign closely, but I haven't yet seen him say verbatim "We cannot leave Iraq." He did said on his website that "retreat and defeat" is not an option against terrorism. Whether this means he's hawkish on Iraq or he was being vague enough to get elected without really being dedicated to staying there, I don' t know.

[Thom1776]

Alas, this was before the internet. I ran for Congress on the platform of The Constitution and Common Sense.

When it came to people who actually heard me speak and learned my positions, I beat my two opponents, hands down. But I was running as an independent with virtually no money nor organization against an entrenched incumbent Democrat and a well-known Republican challenger.

I am still grateful to the local television stations who held debates and asked me to participate, although the local newspaper was blatantly in the corner of the incumbent.

In the end, I managed to get 16% of the vote against 53% for the Democrat and 31% for the Republican. Money spent/votes received: Democrat: $240,000/131,215; Republican: $100,000/76,795; myself: $4,000/38,963. I believe that if I had the internet back then, I could have won.

That's why I'm so excited about Ron Paul. He is saying exactly the same things I said in '92, and I'm actually going to vote for the first time in ten years.

I'm glad to see that torchbearer is running. I started another thread that says we should have a candidate for congress in every single district in the country. It's relatively easy to get your name on the ballot if you have enough dedicated people behind you. The same people that are organizing at the grass roots for Ron Paul are also a ready-to-go congressional campaign organization, as well. This is a tremendous opportunity that SHOULD NOT be wasted!

So torchbearer, where are you running for congress?

[torchbearer]

So torchbearer, where are you running for congress?

I'm running in the 5th congressional district of louisiana against super neo-con crook Rodney Alexander. I got crushed by his million dollar special interest warchest in 2006, he flooded ever advertisment venue. i couldn't even get good ad slots on tv. this year, i'm starting way ahead of him... depending on if i can get some funding right now i was looking to do movie theatre ads... with a ron paul message and frame myself as a "Ron Paul Republican".
Hopefully my campaign will ignite the meet-up groups in the area and also generate more press for ron paul.

I was thinking about doing the same thing here in Florida. Ron Paul is going to need a lot of Congressional support when he is elected. I will probably make a decision closer to the end of the year.

Here is a little update on GA. from Robert Novak.

House 2007

Georgia-10: This battle between two Republicans proved to be a shocker for Washington observers. Dr. Paul Broun (R), exploiting Georgia Republican voters' disgust with their party establishment, appears to have come out of nowhere to upset former state Sen. Jim Whitehead (R) in the special election runoff to succeed deceased Rep. Charlie Norwood (R-Ga.). The two candidates are separated by about 400 votes, with 1,700 absentee ballots yet to be counted.

Both are strong conservatives, Broun a bit more outspoken. Still, not only did Broun reach out to Democratic voters in his native Athens -- who were fearful that their portion of the district would be ignored by Whitehead -- during the second round, but he also launched a vigorous campaign on Whitehead's turf, the more populous Augusta portion of the district. By all available early accounts, he worked much harder than Whitehead, who had topped the first round of the special election with 44 percent over Broun's 21 percent.

Whitehead's campaign was certain that he had the race in the bag. They made an insufficient effort to turn out the vote in his portion of the district, and they totally wrote off Athens. The Whitehead media plan for the runoff included some television and radio, two mailers and just a few phone calls.

Broun was far more aggressive with mail and phone calls attacking Whitehead for failing to care about the Athens area. So overconfident was Whitehead that he chose not to respond in kind, wishing to remain above the fray.

The race had been Whitehead's to lose, and he looks to have done just that.


Sincerely,

Robert D. Novak

OK. First thing, he is a Republican, although he first got elected in 2002 as a Democrat, then changed to Republican in 2004. What was THAT all about? (besides just proving that there ain't a dime's worth of difference between the two!) What did he do before 2002?

Second: Are there any strong Democratic challengers for '08?

There were no strong democratic challenger last time.. and there are none declared yet for 2008.
He switched parties in a political move... basically, he stayed democrat up to the last day of qualifying to keep any democrat from running because he was a democratic incumbent... then switched over to republican to basically steal the election. a lot of people were pissed because of that...
The only problem I will have running against him is combating his huge ass war chest... I killed him in debates. i've got an old commercial somewhere on youtube, lemme see if i can find it. i actually did the commercial myself, but it came out pretty good.

[MGS]

RP has started a movement people! We got that Turbolizard(sic) guy too.

[ChairmanMao]

Larry Kilgore aswell

[torchbearer]

here is that commercial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U279mLq-3WQ
the campaign slogan in 2006 was "Just like you" with the theme being, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.

[Thom1776]

Do you think you'd have a better chance running against him as a Republican in the primary, or as a Democrat in the general?

[torchbearer]

This time my campaign rally slogan will simply be America First.

[torchbearer]

Do you think you'd have a better chance running against him as a Republican in the primary, or as a Democrat in the general?

I may be able to get some support as a democrat... but I think politically it would make more sense to run as a ron paul republican. also, not as many people vote in the primaries in this state. i think a smaller turn-out favors me, but i could way off on that assumption.

[JasonM]

What are some of the things involved in running for office?

I just turned 23, so I still have 2-4 years to go before I can actually do this....but I would like to look into the possibility down the road of doing this as well a few years down the road when I am done with collage.

Anything I should be thinking of doing now, like joining the peace core for a couple years or something? I still have 2 years of collage left to do too. Maybe find ways of getting to know Republican insiders by working for groups like Collage Republicans?

Helping out other people's campaigns in your area is a great place to start.
Here are the other requirements:

The Constitution establishes the qualifications for members of the House of Representatives and Senate.

A Representative must be 25 years of age
a citizen of the United States for at least seven years
and a legal resident of the state which elects him.

A U.S Senator must be at least 30 years old
a citizen of the US for the past nine years
and a resident of the state which elects him.
The term of a Senator is six years. Members of the House of Representatives are elected every two years. There is no limit on the number of terms a Senator or Representative may serve.

Once elected, a Senator or Representative continues to serve until the expiration of his term, death, or resignation. The Constitution also permits the House to expell any member with a two-thirds vote.

Where did you first hear about Paul Broun?

[dicktater]

I hope this isn't too boring.

March of 2006, I took my mother (72) to a special screening of America: Freedom To Fascism. She hasn't been the same since.

I convinced my mother to attend a candidates forum several months ago consisting of all of those running, except for Jim Whitehead who skipped out claiming the town was hostile to him already. My mother was very impressed with Paul Broun. She said that saw a lot of Ron Paul in him. She gave him my phone number suggesting to him that we should talk. Amazingly to me, Paul Broun called me the next day and left a message. When we finally connected, we talked for about 90 minutes. Our conversation centered on the philosophy of liberty and how one can, by setting an example and teaching the philosophy of liberty, make a difference with many people. The key is that it really isn't that hard a thing to do if you just do it.

Ron Paul has proved that to be true. Not that he and his staff haven't worked hard. They have worked very hard. But, as Ron Paul says himself, it is those people who have heard his freedom message and have become believers in that message who are driving his campaign into the stratosphere.

Anyway, Dr. Broun and I spoke frequently after that and finally met at a young republicans forum in a small town. There were five republican candidates there. Four of them had the same message we've all heard over and over again. War, war, war, war, they're coming to get us war, war,war,war....ad nauseum. Jim Whitehead rattled off a list of people who endorsed him. They were all politicians and bureaucrats. Then Whitehead rattled off a list of groups that endorsed him. They were all special interest and political action groups. I was impressed (not!).

Dr. Broun had NO special interest group endorsing his campaign. Dr. Broun spoke eloquently of his understanding the lmitations upon federal power and authority imposed by the Constitution. He never stopped talking about the importance of individual liberty and the respect for that liberty we must demand of government, both at the federal and state level.

Here is a Dr. Broun quote of interest taken from The Nation this week:

"I believe in the 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which clearly says that all powers not specifically given to the federal government, or prohibited by the Constitution to the states, are reserved to the states and the people," Broun said. "I am not a person who believes that our lives should be controlled by politicians in Washington. I do not believe that the states are merely administrative units of the federal government, to do its bidding."

Dr. Broun, a family practitioner, may be the only medical doctor in the state of Georgia whose practice consists entirely of home visitation. He is not tethered to an office. His patients wait for his services in the comfort of their own home, rather than wait for the typical cattle call of a modern doctor's office.

Here is Dr. Broun's Four-way test for legislation:

As your Congressman, I will apply a four-way test to all legislation:
1. Is it constitutional and a proper function of government?
2. Is it morally correct?
3. Is it something that we really need?
4. Is it something that we can afford?

Dr. Broun IS a constitutionalist. That really works for me. He is a devout Christian. I admire and respect his spirituality, as I would anyone else, regardless of their faith. And, I think that we all need some type of moral compass.

By his having a home-visitation medical practice, I believe that he understatnds the difference between want and need.

By traveling and working everywhere in the community, I believe he has a better understanding of what we can afford. Certainly, he has a better understanding of the fiscal realities of most Americans than do the multi-millionaire career lawyer-politicians who rarely stray from their offices, mini-mansions, and country clubs.

Dr. Broun intends to continue his medical practice and create four offices for staff in our district to ensure close contact with his constituents. We'll see if this can realistically be done. I hope so.

Dr. Broun was requested to go to Washington today to prepare for his swearing in ceremony. The Georgia Secretary of State will not certify the election until Friday, when all absentee ballots are to have been counted.

Believe me when I say that those in Washington and Atlanta have heard the message tapped out in the sound of the footsteps of voters leaving the precincts of Georgia's 10th Congressional District this past Tuesday. And, it scared the beejeezus out of them. They are frightened and we need to keep them that way.

I am very proud of the people in my district who stood up because they are fed up.

See you in Greenville, South Carolina Saturday, July, 21st for the Ron Paul Rally! The Ron Paul Revolution is rockin' the south.

[JosephTheLibertarian]

I will be running for congress in 2008 on the same platform, anyone want to help? :)

You have to be 25, right? :( I wish I could run, but I'm too young. I'd help if you I were near you!! Which party?

The big difference is that THIS PAUL is pro-war!

he he so you are running for the Libertarian Party? I live in a heavily Democratic area, so I will run for the Democratic Party, but I will still retain my purist Libertarian views :D

How old do you have to be to run for Congress?

This Paul Braun guy is DEFINITELY not a Libertarian, he is pro-war and is PROBABLY anti-drugs.. not my kind of guy!

[JasonM]

then lets educate him!! let Ron Paul have a talk with him. lol

[NCGOPer_for_Paul]

I hope this is the first "battle" won for the Ron Paul Revolution.

Things like this is what I mean by getting involved in your local party structure. Granted Broun probably isn't against the war or against the war on drugs, he's a constitutionalist, which is a thousand times better than what we usually get.

We're seeing people from this message board get inspired to run for Congress in 2008. I'd do it too, if I wasn't represented by a pretty decent Congresswoman.

Get involved. Take our Party back to Reagan, or even better, Goldwater. The GOP IS a party of small, consititutional government and individual liberty. It's up to us to dethrone the neo-cons who have stolen the Republican Party from it's members.

Good work guys, my signature says it all.

The Ron Paul Movement now has some serious momentum, and now is the time for all those highly motivated Ron Paul supporters to step up to the plate and take the power centres back from the corrupt, psychopaths that are in power at the moment.

Check out http://www.freedomforceinternational.org/ for some good info on taking back the Power Centres of society.

[MozoVote]

It may not cost that much to just file for office. Even as paper opposition candidates, it would be very embarrasing to see the party hacks getting only 60% of the vote in "safe" primaries.

[NCGOPer_for_Paul]

Advice. Take this for what it's worth from a former LP Congressional candidate.

RUN AS A REPUBLICAN.

1. You won't be as marginalized. The press won't blow you off as a lunatic. The party will invite you to talk to members at meetings, etc. You'll get at least 20% in a primary, and party leadership will like to talk with you.

2. You will get support from people within the GOP. This will not always happen with the Libertarian party. If you happen to be less than a "purist" libertarian, there are people within than small organization that will attack you, badly.

3. You will have an easier time raising money.

4. You can't win as a Libertarian.

In my race, I ran against an incumbent uber-lib Democrat in an area where he really can't be beaten and a 26 year old Republican with no name recognition. I actually had more from running in a town commissioner's race the year before. Anyway, there was an unscientific poll out that had me at 13%, and the Republican at like 20%. The GOP "got scared" and gave the kid a bunch of money a week before the election, and hit ME rather than the Dem.

I've ran twice as a libertarian, once in 2003, once in 2006.
in 2003 i received 19% of the vote, in 2006 i recieved 2%. I will most likely run republican and challenge alexander, one on one in the primary.

[JosephTheLibertarian]

I'm going to try and run for both the DP & LP! If I don't win the nomination of the Democratic Party, just hop in on behalf of the Libertarian Party!

I was going to run for state legislature here in NJ, the LP was sponsoring me, but I guess the organization fell apart or something... Third parties are so weak. I'm more socially liberal than Ron Paul.
