Another Ron Paul Supporter Runs For Senate - Barbara Steever
http://www.timesherald.com/articles/2009/09/07/news/doc4aa46...
Barbara Steever said her first exposure to politics came in contesting a U.S. Department of Agriculture attempt to tag all the animals on her farm.
The USDA’s proposed standards call for tagging all the animals on every farm and required her to file a report every time an animal left the farm, according to Steever.
In two recent trips to Washington, D.C., meetings with her three congressional representatives have not provided satisfaction, Steever said.
“They were very polite and listened to what I said,” she said. “But I never got a real answer.”
Steever said her three-year struggle with the USDA motivated her to run for the state’s vacant 24th Senatorial District seat.
Steever said she doesn’t expect to raise campaign money.
Except for attending the northeast regional conference of the Campaign for Liberty — a national organization founded by U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-14th District, in Valley Forge — later this month, no political events are planned, according to Steever.
“I’m going to rely heavily on media coverage,” she said.

I say why don't we help this humble patriot get a "money bomb" she deserves?...let's spread the word and get some volunteers working in her district...
If she is serious she needs a plan of action and fast.
If she is relying on media coverage she will get little if any. They might give her the time of day now, but unless she hits the streets door to door, does talks, holds rallies, and raises funds, they will ignore her as "not viable" come election time. And then she will cry "censorship" by the media. When in fact, it was her who refused to do what it takes to actually campaign.
Best of luck to her, but that strategy is no way to win office.
(I'm not saying she has to accept lobbyist donations, but she has to do the basics of campaigning)

I would guess we can and should expect more of this in the coming days, weeks and months.... potential candidates looking for support to be generated by and through this forum..... money bombs etc.
Dear Barbara.... 2 basic suggestions 2 U:
(1) why don't you introduce yourself to the forum and post.
(2) Declare yourself/beliefs/intentions by presenting a thorough issues platform so we may know more about your political agenda.
Thanks and Cheers 2U.
