It's official!
As of Friday morning, it is official. I am a candidate for US COngress in New Hampshire's first district.

Jeb Bradley has sat idle while we face the prospect of becoming the first generation in our history to fail to leave our kids and grandjids a safer and more prosperous country than the one we inherited from our parents. That's unconscionable, and I won't sit by and let it happen.

I'm ready to take the fight to Jeb. I'm ready to challenge him on his alleged strong suit of national security. Why has military readiness deteriorated on his watch? Why are nuclear and chemical anti-roliferation efforts going underfunded? Why did he oppose a measure to investigate contractor abuses against our sevicemembers in Iraq? I'll ask these questions and set down some tough and smart policies of my own.

I'm ready to fight to make sure that every NH family has the health care they need; I'm ready to invest in public education and job skills training, in scientific research that creates the jobs, products and cures of tomorrow.

I'm ready to restore integrity and a sense of service to Washington. I won't accept campaign funds from special interest groups or from lobbyists. When I go to Washington, I'll go with no strings attached.

Let's tell the truth, share some ideas, kick butt and take names!

2. Good luck to you,
I am not in your district, but did hear that The Gregg's just threw a house party for Bradley and raised $130,000 for his campaign... While
we are working to defeat Charlie over here, its very worrisome to see that these kinds of funds can be raised at a single Republican event.
I have done fund raising with a number of people and find it challenging, seeing the kinds of figures that Republican candidates bring in with
very little effort is incredibly frustrating...

6. Bragdon
Why don't you run? Is that your district? It would be a shame to let Bragdon be reelected.

7. It costs about $100,000 to run a state
senate campaign and I work more than 40 hrs a week plus volunteer all the free time I have.
If I could afford to work less I would be very interested in running for state rep, I don't
stand a chance running for state senate. Perhaps you meant that I should volunteer myself
just as a place holder but even in that case I would be a poor choice.
