So why where you standing on the street corner holding a sign saying "Vote Today" rather than spending your time on your campaign?

Brandon, thanks for the picture. Being a member of Congress is about public service; putting ones personal interests in the backseat in order to do some good for constituents in the 22nd district. Thats what yesterday afternoon was all about for me. I felt that the best way I could serve the public yesterday was by reminding them to vote. While I could have spend those hours going door to door, or with a big sign advertising me, I wanted to do something for the good of the community and our country. Voter turnout is poor, political apathy is high... we need to fix this! What makes our country great is that we have the right to have an opinion on what our government does and express that opinion through voting.

Want me to address something?

Alan,
I thought that you were a legitimate candidate and I was excited to see such a young man running for higher office, however when I searched the FEC data base for a F1-Statement of organization form, there was none. Isn’t it illegal to accept money or and inkind contributions over the amount of $2000 (even if they are from your self/family for things like gas or hotel rooms) without declaring this status with the Federal Government? Can’t you get in big trouble for this?

John, rather than assume, why not just ask? The FEC limit is $5000 before you have to file, and I have not spent nor accepted over that amount to date. Amazing that I can do all that I have done without this spending, is it not? It is obscene how much money is typically involved in a campaign, and I have no intention of taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from the public or spending it on self promotion!
