MORE CAMPAIGN
Monday, after blog posting and having a spot of breakfast (instant oatmeal and coffee,) Linden drove to Brownsburg on a campaign related mission and, on the way back home, dropped by Secondhand Stories to solidify a book and CD signing event scheduled for May 3. More about that in the days to come.

Mr. Neilson and the senior government class at Danville Community High School have scheduled a candidate forum for tonight at the high school. Linden had been expecting some campaign related items to arrive and they did not. Stressful!!! Plan B was put into effect and, thanks to wonderful help, the needed items were produced just in time to rush to the forum. It lasted about three hours with candidates for various offices present. Lloyd, my trusty Campaign Manager, was busy with the "THINK SWIFT" message and Joyce, who will assist in Danville on election day, was in the audience. It was a well attended event.

Linden's pass out brochure lists probably 25 or 30 items in the "membership, former activities, background and present activities" areas. Of course "THINK SWIFT" , integrity, experience, stewardship are mentioned along with he being a Republican and asking for the vote on May 6. This blog address is also given.

In the five minute speech, Linden mentioned the availability of all pertinent information in the brochure, his pilgrimage in Spain three years ago, his mission trip to Austria one year ago and his first election many years ago. In that election (won) daughter, Julie, then a high school cheerleader, brought her cheerleading team to the election site and produced the necessary oomph to produce the win. Linden closed his speech by leading a "THINK SWIFT, THINK SWIFT, THINK SWIFT" cheer. It is possible that a few attendees joined in.

This posting can not properly illustrate what a busy, productive and stressful day this had been. It was good when, after handling some correspondence, it was time for bed.

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.

California 20 Fresno area – One Found?
California 31 Los Angeles County
California 33 Los Angeles County – One Found?

Georgia 5 Atlanta area

Maryland 5 Calvert, Charles & St. Mary’s Counties – Three Found?
Maryland 7 Baltimore & adjacent Counties – Two Found?

Michigan 13 Wayne County area
Michigan 15 Detroit area

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.
