Announcing: Rick Williams For US Senate In California
Hello fellow Ron Paul Forum folks. This post announces my campaign: Rick Williams For US Senate In California. All papers have been filed and my fees are paid; visit my website at www.rickwilliamsforsenate.com. I'm running as a Ron Paul Republican.
Many of you know me already, but for those who don't, here's a bit of background. My undergraduate degree was in business finance, and I graduated from UCLA Law School in 1973, where I served on the Board of Editors of the UCLA Law Review. I've been a corporate and business trial lawyer in Los Angeles for more than 30 years. My first political campaign was for Barry Goldwater in 1964 (I was 18 at the time) and I've been supporting freedom/liberty candidates ever since.
I became active in the Ron Paul grassroots in the summer of 2007 as a regular broadcaster on RonPaulRadio, and later on RonPaulRevolutionRadio. My radio shows focused on bankers and economics. In 2008 I co--founded Breakthematrix with Trevor Lyman where I acted as Chairman of the Board. At Breakthematrix I did daily streaming television shows, and we broadcast live from the RP Minneapolis Convention and a number of other RP events. My objective (then and now) was to create a meaningful, for--profit, liberty oriented broadcast network able to compete with the mainstream media. The work goes on at www.Revolutimes.com (I'm Chairman of that entity). One of these days we're going to get a competitor to Fox News off the ground-- I live and practice law right here near Hollywood; and I want to be part of the soon-to-come broadcast entity that brings freedom content to the mainstream for the first time. There is an immensely talented group of Ron Paul supporters in the Hollywood community; we can do this.
My Senate campaign has been in the works for more than two years. In 2010 I put together a "Freedomslate" of seven candidates who ran together for Central Committee seats in the Los Angeles County GOP. Two of our group won seats-- in a very close election where the rest of our slate members were within a few votes of victory. I'm quite well known among the Ron Paul grassroots activists in our local LA community-- hopefully they'll speak up about my campaign. I think you'll hear good things.
Check out my website. My core issue in the campaign is End the Fed, and I share Ron Paul's views and values on the other great issues of the day. By background, experience, expertise, skills and platform, I'm highly confident I'm the best candidate running as a Republican in the Senate race. In other words-- I'm the candidate that actually has a legitimate chance to unseat Dianne Feinstein. A Ron Paul Republican for the United States Senate in California. Quite a thought, when you ponder what that could mean for our movement. As a life long (and well known) attorney in the California community, I expect to receive significant support from people who may not support Ron Paul on all issues; and I certainly hope to earn the support of all Ron Paul voters in California. Putting it all together-- I can win. Follow my campaign; support Rick Williams For Senate; and thanks for reading.
