Thank you, thank you, thank you all!
Due in LARGE part to the efforts of Freepers, we have cleared the first two hurdles of securing the 56th Assembly District for FREEDOM and the CONSTITUTION!
I just now returned from filing both the required number of signatures we needed to collect from Registered Voters, and the (unreasonably large) filing fee in order to secure a place on the ballot for my campaign.
I feel honored that so many patriots, both locally here in Southern California, and those whom I only know through the 'net on FreeRepublic, have shown us so much support both in financial contributions and in time invested as volunteers for our campaign.
While there are 3 liberal Democrats who will be slugging it out amongst themselves to win the Democrat nomination in the March 2002 Primary Election (wasting their time, money and effort - don't you just love it when your enemies fight amongst themselves?), I am the only Republican who will be on the Primary Ballot - making me the defacto Republican Nominee. This means that we can now begin to strategize, stockpile funds and materials, carefully craft and hone our message, etc., etc. in preparation to WIN the General Election in November, 2002 without having to waste even one cent in the Primary Election!
Again, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, and I promise you that I will not let you, nor our cause, down!
Please continue to spread the word about my candidacy and OUR campaign (we are in this together, aren't we?) so that we can build a huge "war chest" to use to not just defeat, but totally annihilate our opposition!
Now, LET'S ROLL!!!!!
With my deepest gratitude,
