William Lawson, also known as BJ Lawson needs campaign funds to help unseat his longtime incumbent opponent David Price. Today is the Lawson Liberty Fund Money Bomb, Ron Paul style. Lawson hands out pocket Constitutions as he campaigns in his 4th District of North Carolina and beyond. His truly strict adherence to the Constitution was immediately evident in the first interview segment he did with us at Liberty Maven.
We fully and officially support and endorse BJ Lawson For Congress in North Carolina’s 4th District. We urge you to dig into your purses and wallets and find a way to donate money to his campaign today. No amount is too small or too large… well thanks to McCain there is an amount too large, but you get the point. Donate for the Constitution. Donate for liberty because “liberty is priceless”.
Ron Paul has inspired many citizens from coast to coast to become more active in politics. Some of these citizens have chosen to run for office. All of these office seekers for liberty deserve praise, but BJ Lawson is not your average citizen candidate. He has already won his primary in North Carolina’s 4th District and now faces the toughest challenge yet: Beating the incumbent Democrat in a Democratic district.
What gives BJ Lawson a great chance is that he is a true “old right” conservative who echoes Ron Paul on the issues. That means the Democrat cannot paint Lawson as a Bush twin. That means there can be no criticism for him “supporting the failed Iraq war”. If any Republican has a chance in North Carolina’s 4th district it is BJ Lawson.
Liberty Maven has sent along a request for an interview to the Lawson campaign. Hopefully, in the coming weeks the interview will come to fruition and you’ll see it posted here and on our interview page.
In the meantime, BJ Lawson needs campaign funds. A Ron Paul style money bomb is scheduled for June 29th, 2008. If you believe in true liberty in our lifetime… If you believe in sending another Ron Paul style unequivocally limited government conservative to Congress to fight for freedom…. then you need to head over to http://www.lawsonlibertyfund.com/ and pledge your support now and then donate on June 29th.
Bob Barr discusses the issues with the Washington Post’s Eric Pianin in this video. This is another in what has become a fairly standard interview for Bob Barr on the campaign trail. He keeps on preaching that lovely Ron Paul liberty message giving people who are unhappy with both McCain and Obama a choice in November.
Bob Barr appeared on FOX News today with Neil Cavuto. He discusses his relationship with Ron Paul and his recruitment of Ron Paul supporters to help his campaign. They then go on to discuss polling numbers and ballot access.
It’s interesting how much Cavuto was pushing the Ron Paul angle in this short interview while Barr seemed to be downplaying it a bit.
There are two candidates left in the Presidential race who have the ability to spread Ron Paul’s liberty message far and wide. Which of these two candidates has the best chance to spread that glorious message to the most people? Which candidate has more “reach” with voters?
The candidates for liberty are Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin and Libertarian Candidate Bob Barr. Like Ron Paul both are preaching to bring the troops home from Iraq and switching to a non-interventionist foreign policy. They are advocating getting rid of the Federal Reserve. They are both advocating privacy rights and an adherence to the Constitution. They are both preaching a federalist approach on abortion and drug policy. They are the only liberty candidates left in the race.
Ignoring media attention and the potential for more media attention for now let’s look at hard numbers where we can. The hard numbers we will look at are fund raising and meetup group support via meetup.com.
Some Ron Paul supporters are putting together a Ron Paul style Money Bomb for Bob Barr. There have been other efforts for something like this for Barr, but this one is the real deal. I really like the web site designed for this one. More so than any of the others even those for Ron Paul.
The big day will be on July 2nd, which also happens to be my very own birthday. I’ll be donating on the big day. I hope you will too. Here is the text from the site:
On July 2, 1776 the Continental Congress adopted a resolution establishing the independence of the United States. Help us celebrate that legacy with a donation to the independent and liberty-minded presidential candidate, Bob Barr. Send a message to the status-quo that Liberty will not be ignored, Freedom cannot be defeated and the American people WILL have a choice on Nov. 5th.
Many people think that Trevor Lyman was the man behind the Ron Paul “Money Bomb” idea due to him being in the media following the November 5th event. The fact is that James Sugra is the man who came up with the idea, and he let Trevor create the web site and promote it.
The cause is not the affect it is the reason. This is my 26th video for the Ron Paul movement. To think it all started 8 months ago back in October. I thought of an idea it was pretty simple. I proposed the first mass donation video for Ron Paul on a controversial day November 5th. I didn’t know how many supporters would actually donate and I had no clue how much to make the donation. After reviewing all the various sites the numbers came to mind. 100,000 patriots donating 100 dollars a piece. It was a long shot to say the least. I was so broke I couldn’t even afford to donate myself. I am ashamed to admit that but it’s true.
All my credit cards had been maxed out I just started a new job that was 100% commission. I thought if I couldn’t donate maybe there was someone out there that could and that was my driving force. I only needed to reach one person and if that person believed in my idea they could take it to the next level. I met someone by the name of Ronpaulmeetupvideos on YouTube AKA Trevor Lyman.
He said he created a website for the idea. I knew it needed something more because many people were posting on the original video asking; I am in but who else is going to donate? Trevor Lyman became the general of this idea and I respect him for all his efforts even if some people don’t give him the credit he deserves. His site built so much excitement and was an awesome grassroots effort from so many people.
Big news from the Amit Singh For Congress campaign. In conjunction with an endorsement from Ron Paul they announce a money bomb. They’re calling it the Lunch Bomb and have a fun and horribly acted video to go along with the money bomb and endorsement. Amit isn’t running for Hollywood, and we all know Ron Paul is nothing but genuine so seeing this pair try to act just adds to the charm.
To check out the video and pledge for the “lunch bomb” on May 15th, check out the lunch bomb web site. You can even choose what they (Ron and Amit) will have for lunch, because apparently, they can’t agree.
Tomorrow Thursday, May 1st, 2008 is the Mayday Mckinley Money Bomb. If you haven’t already done so, sign up and pledge a few or a few hundred dollars. He is who I call the first Ron Paul Republican because he decided to run for Congress before Ron Paul decided to run for President. Both share many views on the issues.
Two promotional videos have been created for the upcoming Vern McKinley money bomb on Thursday May 1st, 2008. We have endorsed McKinley for Congress in the 10th District of Virginia. We also encourage those of you with the means to participate in his money bomb on May 1st no matter where you live. The more Ron Pauls we have in the U.S. Congress the better our country will be. Check out the videos below and pledge for the money bomb at: MaydayMcKinley.com
