HELP WANTED 2: HI thru MD

When Linden started this blogging effort last October it was primarily because he was absolutely amazed and disappointed to learn that 39 of the congressional districts (almost 9%) had not fielded a Republican candidate in 2006. What a sorry effort by the affected national, state, district and local Republican leadership. They, through lack of effort, allowed potential Republican voters to be denied the opportunity. It does not matter if there are few of these voters in those districts – the other side needs to know that not every person they represent approves of the, often poor, effort they make.
Linden will use the five days this week to advise you of his present concerns in this regard. Naturally, he cannot be totally confident of the accuracy of the information and some states have not yet had their primary elections. But, regardless, this will give you an opportunity to attempt to ensure that adequate representation is provided. So, the listing will show what he believes to be those districts within each state that have no Republican candidate and will just show a question mark in those instances where the lineup is as yet uncertain. This should change from time to time and we should all hope that the Republicans are better represented than they were in 2006. It would be nice if all of our candidates were rock-ribbed conservatives but a less than perfect candidate at is better than none at all.

LINDEN'S LIFE
Received the welcome news that my Wisconsin friend, Katia, and her two children had passed their U.S. citizenship test! At a time when most of the news regarding immigration is about illegals, it is particularly nice to hear of those who are doing it the right way.
Posted the first in this series of calling attention to the need for Republican candidates and then, because of lack of skill and having a dial-up connection, spent a great deal of time trying to disseminate this message to some within the affected states. This will be a continuing message.
Jack and Helen invited Paul and me to there house for dinner last night. Paul's wife, Judy, is out of town. It was a great meal accompanied by sparkling conversation.
