[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [QUOTE]"Police use of tasers should be thoroughly examined." Shouldn't this be a state and local issue?[/QUOTE]Arguably, but there are federal police officers as well. There are also those that argue that taser misuse can qualify as torture, in which case it's more likely a federal affair. [QUOTE] Interesting: "NASA should focus on things that can not be done by commercial spaceflight industries, especially the detection and deflection of earth-threatening asteroids." [/QUOTE]Any particular reason you find that interesting? [QUOTE]Have you considered running for a local office first? Is your heart really into running a grueling campaign for yourself and your family? Can you be willing to give up time from work or family to run for office? [/QUOTE]Local office holds no appeal to me. These are the issues I care about, so I'm running on them. As for the time this will take, well, that's my problem. I can handle it. :) [QUOTE]Have you done research on the voting patterns of your district (party demographics breakdown, age and gender, who are frequent voters each election, etc)?[/QUOTE]Only briefly, and I didn't find much. I should probably dig harder. [QUOTE]How is your fundraising going and do you have a strategy for short term and long term fundraising?[/QUOTE]I'm just starting to get donation offers, and I'm in the process of setting up Paypal and Google donation portals on my site. Aside from that, I'm not gonna go begging for money. [QUOTE]Who has so far endorsed you? Are you actively seeking endorsements and speaking to groups and organizations as to why you are running and why they should support you?[/QUOTE]I'm the Libertarian candidate, and I've been endorsed by the Pirate Party of the US. I have high hopes of being endorsed by the Modern Whig party, and some chance of a Green endorsement as well. The Constitution party hasn't responded to any of my e-mails, but they probably wouldn't touch me. I've e-mailed a few other organizations, but no response there either. [QUOTE] Have you identified a base of support to help you run the election (canvassing, volunteer outreach, PR/Marketing)?[/QUOTE]I've got a few people. Some of them even live in my district. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
