Why we all should help get AWD elected!!!!

[LynneSin]

Because if he's elected he'll be representing my brother in Washington DC. And if anyone has heard me say anything about my brother (who I still love to death), my brother is a NEO-CONSERVATIVE. I need a website so I can send in a donation!!!!

And of course AWD is one of us which is also important too!!!!

1. what is his platform?

[AWD]

3. Change

The guy in offie now is on his 32nd year...it's time for a change.

I have no single issue or platform. My opinions and campaign will run run wide, but I am an unapologetic progressive.

I am fully open to any questions you have about my candidacy or my stances on any issue.

[LynneSin]

2. I don't have his website yet

But AWD is a member of the Democratic Underground running for US Representative in the Ohio 16 district. I'm sure when AWD sees this thread he'll be happy to share. But I'm just tickled pink there is a great person who could be representing my neo-con family in Ohio

:D

4. if he needs to setup a website

tell him to check this out, we're ready to help http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=156760

6. A fellow DUer

is doing web design for me.

She's doing a killer job (can't wait to see what else she's got in store....)

[AWD]

5. My website

First...yes, I'm tickled. Thanks.

My website's home is www.jeffseemannforcongress.com (but it's not yet active). Monday will be the launch date, even if it's just a demo for DUers.

Monday, we have a protest scheduled for Bush in Richfield, Ohio
Following that, we will make an informal announcement to the media regarding my candidacy at the County Fair.
Starting at 5pm on Monday, we will have an online fundraiser, which will run 32 hours (one for each year my opponent has done nothing in Congreess). A PayPal link will be provided.

Thanks Lynne...you rock.

8. how's the funding rolling?

[AWD]

15. Only 149,000 dollars more

And I'll have my total goal.

But I haven't hit up any big names yet.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

12. I can hack you 25 or 30,000 votes if you need 'em.

"Seeman for Congress! He's not an old fart."

[AWD]

14. Well....

....No. Don't hack me any votes (cough cough).

That would be wrong (cough cough)

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

17. OK, I won't.

P.S. You really should do something about that cough!

7. This will be a tough race

Beating an incumbent is extremely hard. I wish AWD the best of luck, but we have to be realistic too.

[goobergunch]

9. Better now than when he becomes Appropriations chair...

It will be difficult, but the district didn't go overwhelming * in 2004. We'll probably need a wave, but who knows?

[jiacinto]

10. Yeah anything can happen

But let's be realistic too. AWD has a very steep hill to climb. And he will need everything to go his way to win.

[goobergunch]

11. I concur.

I'm just trying to be optimistic.

[Kahuna]

13. I don't know. Where does he stand on the issues.

}(

[AWD]

16. Ask and ye shall receive

Name your issue, I'll give you my stance.

[revcarol]

18. As a non-supporter of Dean,

I think you should be publicly for ALL Democrats, Just my humble opinion.
What you do privately, supporting Dean, is your business.

[dsc]

19. I presume that you have

given the same response to all those elected officials who have been endorsing candidates. If so, then great. Otherwise you may wish to remove the board from your eye before . . .

[AWD]

20. I do support all Democrats....

....but they are not my children. There is no rule against loving one more than another.

Also, as soon as Kerry, Kucinich, Edwards, Clark, Sharpton, Moseley-Braun, Lieberman, Gephardt, or Graham set aside time to offer me advice on my campaign, they too can get my endorsement. So far, Howard Dean is the only candidate to do that.

But thanks for the advice.

[UnapologeticLiberal]

21. Who is AWD?

???

[AWD]

23. That would be me...

...the poster formerly known as AngryWhiteDemocrat.

I turned my back on Bush at Ohio State and was nearly arrested for doing it.

[mndemocrat_29]

22. AWD's name is on D. C.'s Political Report

Here's the link!:

24. Holy f-ing poop!

That's the coolest thing I've seen in a while. I haven't been this touched since William Rivers Pitt wrote about me (and called me "friend") in "The Greatest Sedition Is Silence" (on sale now in your local bookstore)

Damn. I'm stunned.
