[QUOTE]Originally posted by Blue387: [QB] I've been thinking of running for office myself as a liberal Democrat who seeks to reform the system. The Tennessee fifth is a heavily Democratic district and you're running against Jim Cooper, a Democratic incumbent. Try to distinguish yourself from him on issues but try not to go ad hominem negative; no personal attacks. When talking about debt, talk more about statistics and mention David Walker and the Concord Coalition where entitlements like Social Security will assume a massive amount of government spending. On the tactical end of campaigns, get some more pictures of yourself on the campaign trail. Get some stuff you can hand out like buttons or literature. Campaign hard everywhere from fairs to parades to schools. Have at least one person as a campaign manager working for you to coordinate volunteers, press and fundraising. Try to get into local news, write editorials, set up interviews and a YouTube channel, issue press releases. As an underdog campaign, make it look like you're punching above your weight. Please spell check your issue page. I spot a few errors. I disagree with you on FairTax and the balanced budget proposal, which will never pass. The congressional stuff will probably not happen as there are vested interests involved. Try to add more stuff on military stuff and foreign relations. Where do you stand on the bank bailout? The ongoing federal involvement in the auto industry? Campaign finance? Torture? Wiretapping? Do you support or oppose the idea of a carbon tax? "All sessions of congress must be a matter of public record." Doesn't that already exist in the publicly available Congressional Record? "Police use of tasers should be thoroughly examined." Shouldn't this be a state and local issue? Interesting: "NASA should focus on things that can not be done by commercial spaceflight industries, especially the detection and deflection of earth-threatening asteroids." [/QB][/QUOTE]
