Please join the Duncan Hunter group on LinkedIN.. and add a Duncan Hunter LOGO to your profile.. I have pre-approved all of my known contacts. If you are not automaticaly approved give me a day or so to get you added to the list.

Soapbox time... please hang with me...

OK FOLKS — THIS IS WHERE IT’S TIME TO STEP UP !!

We are getting very close to the PRIMARY... If we want Duncan Hunter to have a chance at winning the nomination we need to pool our collective resources.. Reach deep into our contact list.. and be willing to stand up “virtually” and say....

I SUPPORT DUNCAN HUNTER

That is the POWER of the LinkedIN network.. I know a lot of folks like to keep their “politics” separate from the “business” and there are good reasons for that.... and I respect those who feel that way.. but I think it’s time to step out of our “comfort zone” a bit..

One of the reasons the campaign is lagging in fund raising is that there is a PERCEPTION that he is not well known.. well I now KNOW that is just not the case.. rather it is an excuse.. a lot of folks don’t want to be seen by their peers as supporting a guy who “can’t win” — they think it will damage their reputation or business or whatever....

THAT is the reason I started the Duncan Hunter group on LinkedIN... this IS the 21st century folks like it or not.. virtual networking is here to stay.... and it’s only going to get bigger... I just STARTED building my virtual network and I am shocked how large it has grown in such a short time.. you can do the same.. believe me... I started with just my close personal friends and worked my way out from there.. One thing is for sure.. there is nobody that knows me personally that does not know who I support in the GOP PRIMARY.... can you say the same?

If your closest personal FRIENDS don’t even know who you support in the GOP PRIMARY than I am afraid we WILL lose this thing....

It is not too late folks.. get to work building your network.. you can do it in about 2-3 hours... trust me.... If I can do it in between combat operations than I am sure you can do it on your lunch break, or get out of bed a couple of hours early to get it done... JUST DO IT !!

Ok.. I am done ranting.. Here is the bottom line folks. if we (Duncan Hunter supporters) don’t get some serious momentum going in the next 2 weeks.. this campaign is over.. don’t here me say that I am giving up.. I am just being REAL folks.... that means time AND money... I believe if we put the TIME in first.. The money will follow...

NOW.. here is what we all need to do..

STEP 1 - Click on this link to add the Duncan Hunter logo to you linkedIN profile.. if you are not already a linkedIN member you can join from the same link.... it’s time to join the 21st century... http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/43280/032ADD6E3AB2

STEP 2 - Build your network and inivte your contacts to add the Duncan Hunter logo to THEIR profile

STEP 3 — REPEAT STEP 2

TOWARD VICTORY !!

I have a theory about Hunter's campaign. I think I've figured out what the problem is. Hunter speaks too much like a reporter or a regular guy when he is interviewing. Watch him with Laura on O'Reilly again. The man is sharp as a tack but all the other contenders have a slight one-ups-man type tone.

Fred has a fatherly type style that gives you the sense of a greater inner strength. Obama is preachy. Hillary, for lack of a better word, is b*tchy. Rudy has a hyper talking entertainer or celebrity flair. Even W had a slight arrogant tone when he campaigned which annoyed me at times.

Bottom line, your presentation has a profound effect and people want to feel(apparently whether they know it or not) slightly pushed around by their President. (Don't ask me why...maybe human nature.)

Well..there it is, for better or worse.

I would love to see some focused competition between Fred and Hunter. That would be thrilling.
