GOOD DAY

Probably the primary reason Linden started this Blogging effort almost three months ago was to call attention to those Congressional Districts which had not fielded a Republican candidate in 2006. Yesterday, he just barely started an effort to increase his readership (and thereby attention to the problem noted above) when (like a light coming on) he realized that he should first check for any Republicans filing in the affected (or infected) Districts. He is very happy to report that there have been some.

Linden's "HELP WANTED" posting of three months ago mentioned starting salary of about $170,000.00, frequent raises, great benefits, working hours, support staff and retirement benefits. He also mentioned the qualifications his ideal candidate would possess. He also mentioned the mediocre rating The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste and The National Taxpayers Union had awarded the democrat officeholders.

Linden is happy to report that Now there is at least one Republican candidate in Alabama 5; California 20 & 33; Florida 2 & 23; Illinois 12; Maryland 5 & 7;Massachusetts 3 & 4; New York 22: and Texas 9. This means that the original 39 Districts Of Concern have been reduced to 27. This is truly a good day. Rest assured, Linden will now check the lists of candidate filings more frequently.

BUY ME?

“BOUT FIRTEEN COUNTRY CHILDERN RIMES” is a group of 20 poems written in a style reminiscent of James Whitcomb Riley and 20 accompanying illustrations. This book is little more expensive than a greeting card. Since both the author and the illustrator are now deceased, use Linden Swift as the author name when inquiring online.

“OUTSTANDING NATIONAL LEAGUE BASEBALL PITCHERS OF THE LAST 42 YEARS” Published in 1987, this book could be of interest to older baseball fans. Author: Linden Swift. Available locally at Uncommon Corner in downtown Plainfield, IN or Secondhand Stories on Raceway road. Also online:

HELP WANTED

It appears that in the last general election there were no Republican candidates in 39 districts scattered across 15 states. These positions offer much more than just good pay. Some of these districts are listed below in State, District and general location sequence. Please help find a Republican candidate in these districts. Even if these districts can reasonably be considered “lost causes,” the effected taxpayers need to have a choice.

New Jersey 1 Camden and Gloucester Counties
New Jersey 10 Essex, Hudson and Orion Counties

New York 5 Queens and Nassau Counties
New York 6 Queens
New York 9 Brooklyn and Queens
New York 22 Delaware and seven other Counties (1-24-08 WE HAVE A CANDIDATE)

North Carolina 1 Roanoke Rapids, Rocky Mount and other areas

In recent ratings, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste considered 32 of the present officeholders (democrats) to be hostile, 6 unfriendly, and 1 lukewarm to taxpayers. The National Taxpayers Union granted a grade of “F” to 36 of this group while 3 of them rose to a “D”.

WHAT IF?

Surely you believe that the liberal dominated news media is very, very selective in what “news” they will print or report. Have you noticed the absence of reporting about the improved situation in Iraq? There are, of course, other examples but Linden will assume that you can think. WHAT IF, you complained to the lackluster “news” provider and, if satisfaction is not obtained you then call those who advertise in that medium? Your message could be something like: “ I am disappointed that you choose to advertise in or on …. Who will not report…. Perhaps this approach would pay dividends in the form of less biased news coverage.
