Duncan Hunter: Welcome to Free Republic ("Virtual Press Conference" to be held with Freepers)
Posted on 07/03/2007 11:25:59 AM PDT by Ultra Sonic 007
You heard right.
Freeper "pissant" has been in a discussion recently with Sam Hunter, Duncan Hunter's youngest son and a Freeper with the username "Duncan Hunter Ambassador". He was, for a short time, answering questions on behalf of Freepers for a month or so earlier this year until work at the main campaign office became supremely hectic (also, since Hunter's other son returned to active duty, his workload was shifted to Sam).
However, in lieu of the Weekly Answers Thread, Sam Hunter and pissant have managed to arrange something fantastic, with the support of the Jimrob.
In a couple of weeks, a "virtual press conference" will be held here on Free Republic. Before then, Freepers will be able to ask questions for Duncan Hunter to answer. Hunter will answer 15 questions and will relay the answers to Sam or pissant. This will be before the virtual press conference.
pissant will announce the date of the press conference a few days in advance. On the day of the press conference, the 15 questions and Hunter's answers will be posted in a brand new thread.
Here's the best part: Duncan Hunter will remain anywhere from an hour to 90 minutes to chat and converse with Freepers, answering any additional questions they might have. The full details of the press conference are still in the works, but they'll gel together over the next several days.
Any follow-up questions that aren't answered will be answered by Sam in the following days/weeks. They will posted in the same thread as the virtual press conference.
Let's make sure to give them a warm welcome for taking the time to come here and talk with We The People!

Oh, okay. Then here is my question:
Mr. Hunter: A few weeks ago I heard you mention, in a radio interview, examining legal channels to enforce the enactment of the funding and building of our border wall. I got the impression you were speaking about a civil lawsuit, such as a Writ of Mandamus or some other injunctive relief.
Is this indeed being looked at, and, if so, what is the current status?

"Sam: Rep. Hunter voted against the Shays-Meehan (aka McCain-Feingold) Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act in the 105th, 106th and 107th Congresses (It finally passed in the 107th Congress P.L. 107-155). During the 109th Congress, Rep. Hunter did vote in favor of H.R. 513, the 527 Reform Act, which would subject 527 political organizations involved in federal elections to regulation under the Federal Election Campaign Act. 527 organizations were operating outside the regulatory framework of the federal election law, thereby allowing such organizations to raise and spend an unlimited amount on behalf of a single candidate. H.R. 513 helped reform this loophole and Rep. Hunter supported the reform. Rep. Hunter believes in free speech, which is why he opposed the Bipartisan Capaign Finance Reform Act, however, if speech in the form of money is going to be regulated for some, it should be done so for all."
IMO, we might need to know more about what the "loophole" was. Opposition people in favor of unregulated trade with antagonist nations are already misrepresenting "527" against Congressman Hunter.
I'll give card-carrying members of and outstanding contributors to Congressman Hunter's campaign (which I am not and am not known to Hunter's people) the honor of asking.
As for the Virtual Press Conference, I will probably not need to be asking any questions but will read with interest.

You don’t need to be known to Hunter’s people. The only reason I’m known is because Sam has been kind enough to become a freeper. :o)

Those 2 either Fred Thompson or Duncan Hunter are the only 2 ( if either is nominated ) that I would bother to vote for.
Another question that we could ask Sam Hunter to his dad is ? would Duncan Hunter accept if Fred Thompson asks him to be his V.P. in 2008 ?

It’s not a full list. But it gets teh idea across. :o)

In light of the fact that the DOE hasn’t educated a single child and Dep’t of energy hasn’t produced a single drop of oil and Dep’t of Ariculture hasn’t raised a single ear of corn, would you consider eliminating any of the Dept’s?

I think we should all follow Tancredo's lead and mail a head to Chertoff weekly until the fence is up :))

Mr Hunter,
When congress passes a law, is it just a suggestion? If our government does not have to follow our laws, why do we? Someone asked, “what would happen if we told IRS that paying taxes wasn’t workable and that we weren’t going to contribute any more”? How will you manage LE when you are president?

What is laughable is ? I saw Bill Clinton on TV yesterday at a campaign rally for Hilary and said that she has more experience than anyone else out there to be POTUS ( he sure fooled the sheeple and brain dead ).

Question:
Do you agree with the White House position on Kosovo becoming an independent Muslim Albanian state, which will effectively finish the ethnic cleansing/invasion of what was a Serbian Christian country only a few years ago? I realize that at the time you supported NATO rather than the Clinton policy for the invasion of Kosovo and aid to radical muslims. Do you still feel it was/is the proper action?
