it's a losing battle if started at the top with a third party.

How about Ross Perot? He could have won if he had stuck with the battle. There are a lot of people out there that are sick and tired of "politicians" trying to do nothing but gain and retain power. The reason I am offering to run is because I am in a position to do things that most can't or won't do. After we explore the basic idea a little more, I will get into the specifics of how we could win and how we can solve some of the problems.

Ross had his own money to play with, but didn't stick with it. I don't know why he didn't stick with it.

You sound like you'll stick with it but do you have his money?

You'll be depending on contributions that will be split between you and the Pubs runner.

FR's past quarter $$ drive took a long time to achieve. And the FR members didn't contribute a whole lot of $$ to Diana Irey's run against Murtha. And that contest was a come from behind winnable one.

So there is a lot to over come without a track record.

I think a viable third party first needs to get other members voted into different positions nationwide.

I would contribute to that type of third party operation.
