Electing Jim will send the strongest possible message to our elected officials.

He's a great man, and will make a great candidate, in my opinion.

This special election is going to be a wide open affair...it's ready-made for someone like Jim Gilchrist.

[Bombardier]

This could be very cool.....

[Youngman442002]

He could be elected tomorrow....then watch the fireworks...hes a very good speaker also

[EternalVigilance]

...hes a very good speaker also

He is.

People really like the man.

I sure do.

[EternalVigilance]

This could be very cool.....

Oh, yeah! ;-)

[RedRover]

I didn't see a lot of specifics on the site about party affiliation, organization, etc. Do you know if he'd run as a Republican or Independent or Third Party?

[Steven W.]

Forget it - John Campbell is the man for this seat.

[Not now, Not ever!]

Best idea I've heard all summer! go Jim!

[ncountylee]

Orange County very Republican, Cox's area even more so, but big bucks needed to win.

For people outside CA, how about some background info? It's kind of frustrating to be told he's great etc. with no explanation.

[EternalVigilance]

FYI...

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Whoops, now I see he's the Minutemen founder. I get it!

[EternalVigilance]

Served 13 months in Vietnam as a Marine.

Been one of the main figures behind the Minutemen project.

Retired accountant.

Charismatic. Smart. Very likable.

[The Capitalist Avenger]

Run Jim Run!!

[TheBigB]

Isn't B-1 Bob running for this seat?

[EternalVigilance]

Forget it - John Campbell is the man for this seat.

Campbell voted aye on AB 540....which allows for in-state tuition for illegals:

Do you support that??

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Thanks. Clearly it would send a very strong message about one of our most pressing issues.

Great screen name, by the way. Liberals seem to think that freedom was just something that fell from the sky like manna and that we can just take it for granted.

[EternalVigilance]

Isn't B-1 Bob running for this seat?

It's entirely possible.

I've known Bob for many years...have a ton of respect for the man.

But I'm supporting Jim Gilchrist.

'Nuff said.

[trubluolyguy]

But if Jim goes to Congress, who will protest our borders? I am being bitchy here, I really wanna know because our government sure as s--t refuses to do it.

[EternalVigilance]

Thanks! I like it...and you're right. :-)
