What do you all think?....I don't know too many other KC area freepers, but I'm hoping you do.

[Aussie Dasher]

If finances allow in four years, I'll come over and help you!

Pinging Congressman Billybob:

Any advice for Missouri Conservative who is contemplating a run at the Mo HofR?

[calenel]

Go for it.

[KSCITYBOY]

What area does the 44th dist cover?

[marmar]

Well...put something down on your bio page about who you are and what your values are. Let us know about yourself, so we can give you sound advice..

[Question Liberal Authority]

Good luck with that!

We need good people in local governments.

[atari]

sounds great, Im not in anyway near there, but would make a donation to your run for office.

[RandallFlagg]

Go for it.

((unless it means a pay cut))

Put your views out for people to see -


Top Issues of this year - and your view on each - please -

[July 4th]

Get in touch with your local Republican organizations, because you'll need their endorsement and help to get anywhere. I'd first contact your county party chair.

It is an experience you will never forget. I speak from experience. In 2000, I ran against a Democrat in a heavily dem dominated district. He had gone unopposed for 24 years prior to my race.

I lost the race, but managed to garner 31% of the vote. More importantly, I showed other would be candidates that it can be done.

Let me know when you do, and I will at least contribute financially.

[K1avg]

Absolutely!

Watch out, though. The incumbent rule applies doubly in state legislature. Turnover is very rare, so you'll have to be a very good, very active candidate.

Don't go all negative, either.

The Republican candidate for my local state House seat made both mistakes, and lost by a 2-to-1 margin.

Otherwise, go for it! Political office-seeking is likely in my future, too, and I'd be glad to help you out any way I can!

I myself am running for pushup bra inspector.

[Radix]

I voted in my District here in Massachusetts on Tuesday, and the only Republican on the entire ballot was the Bush/Cheney ticket for President.

Other than the one vote for the Prez, I turned in an empty ballot.

[WFTR]

The big question is whether your job would allow you to serve. If I had a job that allowed me to serve in a state legislature, I'd run someday. Unfortunately, engineering just doesn't allow me that luxury. No company wants an engineer who can't be at work very much during the legislative session. If your job would allow you to do this, I think it's great.

"We cannot let a democrat run unopposed, no matter how democratic the district may be."

I have to agree.

[Asphalt]

Go for it. There should never only be one name on the ballot. Post another thread about 3 months before the '06 election and alot of people will give you donations, and people in your area will probabley help. Who can say? You just might get lucky and win. It never hurts to try.

[badpacifist]

I not only need the physical help, but a lot of prayers and spiritual guidance.

You bet!! Go for it. All that is needed is common sense and a passion for doing what is right, just, and fair. My friend was at the voting booth and saw only democrats for Sheriff and Jackson County prosecutor so he wrote in Idi Amin for sheriff and me his good friend for prosecutor. So in this election "W" got 59 million and I got one vote too!

[RoseofTexas]

Good for you!!!
