Candidacy Announcement

[bugslsu9]

On Sunday, August 7th, I will officially announce my candidacy for the United States House of Representatives. All of you on DU, are cordially invited, and please, bring friends. The more the merrier! The announcement will be held at Janesville PArker High School at 2:00 PM. If you want more information, pm me, and I will fill you in on the rest of the details.

Together we can take back Congress, one seat at a time!

12. Great news, Justin

I'm a long ways from Janesville and the only relatives I have in your district are very backward-thinking pukes. Keep us DUers posted on your campaign and I'll see if I can't help you out somehow.

17. Way to go!

Sorry I have to work that day or I would try to make it. I live in blissful hopefulness here in Tammy Baldwin's district where I get regular updates about her votes and quick replies to my phone calls and emails.

Go get 'em!

18. Just because you cannot attend

Doesn't mean you can't be there in spirit. I hope that you would pass the information along to those you know, who live in the district, who would have an interest. All of the information is on my website, http://www.sowaforcongress.com It is also available from http://www.wispolitics.com

21. Heard you announcement on WPR this morning

Great press! Keep up the good work.

[bugslsu9]

22. I've made it to WPR!!!

Did they just read it, or did they have something else?

[sybylla]

24. It was a brief on you that they read just after talking about Mark Green

strongly supporting *'s war in Iraq in spite of his and his war's plummeting popularity.

They didn't read your release. They said you had announced and then they did a bit of a bio (age, hometown, background, etc) and then finished with a statement by you (probably from your press release) about why you're running. It was really well done and more than the average quick statistical blurb.

I know it's early, but you may want to start recruiting media watchers for your campaign. Go to your county party meetings and get people across the district to watch newspapers, tv and radio for what is being said about you and your opponent so you can either build on it or react to it in a timely and appropriate fashion.

23. Congratulations, Bugs!!

I'd be there if I could, but I have a prior obligation. Just know that I'm with you in spirit!!

Here's to a big victory in the WI 1st!!

Never Give Up, my friend.

25. Posted Your Info To My Blog...

I also listed the address where people can send contributions. Good luck Sunday with the official announcement. I'd love to see this guy go down. Every time he has the chance he votes against workers and for big corporations.
