(the Senator wasn't on board)

Drat!

IG- thanks for the suggestions - they all make perfect sense. Every single bit of advice I get will be greatly appreciated.

Can I put in my two cents? I would love to give you all the help and advice that I can. Having just gone through a campaign I figured out a bunch of stuff.

You need MONEY, and lots of it. Lots and lots and lots.

You need backing and volunteers.

You need a solid message.

I am really good friends with the president of the Susan B Anthony Foundation. It's the republican woman's group that helps republican women candidates.I will put you in touch with Jane Abraham, the wife of Spence Abraham, the Sec. of Energy. She will be happy to help you through the foundation.

Almost all the money for women canidates comes from liberal groups, so you won't see a dime of it. That's the super frustrating part, all that money available, but you can't get your hands on it if you are conservative.

If you need anything just holler, I just went through a year of this and I would love to help. You will be a great candidate. I have faith in you and everyone here who can support you.
