Candidates advertised on this site joining VoterswithChange

The concept is simple, once a week a group of 5,000 individuals give $5 to a selected candidate running for Congress, for about 50 weeks until the 2010 election. Just $5 a week, for the candidate of the week.

Qualifications are fairly simple, like following Constitution and promising to vote NO on bills that are un Contitutional. Basically a bunch of Ron Pauls!

It is a Facebook group, Voters with Change over 1,200 strong, soon to be a website, that is trying to gather non incumbant candidates around the country and get 5,000 serious people to join the group who will actually give the $5 a week.

Here is list so far.

Timothy Delasandro: Texas - 17th District
Donald Strong: Tennessee - 4th District
Freddie John Wieder Jr.: Texas 22nd District
Howard Houchen: Oklahoma - 2nd District
RJ Harris: Oklahoma - 4th District Advertised on here
Anthony Gentile: Louisiana - Senator
John Faulk: Texas - 18th District
Jaynee Germond: Oregon - 4th District Advertised on here
Joe Petronis: Texas - 10th District
Jake Towne: Pennsylvania - 15th District Advertised on here
Brian Oerther: Kentucky - Senate
Rick Flanigan: Oklahoma - 5th District
Donn Janes: Tennessee - 8th District
John Dennis: California - 8th District Advertised on here
Bob Parker: Missouri - 8th District
Doug Hutchison: Virginia - 2nd District member of DailyPaul
David Ryon: Ohio - 15th District C4L member
David Ratowitz: Illinois - 5th District C4L member
Paul Lambert: Alabama - 6th District C4L member
Chris Lewis: Maryland - 1st District
Robin Smith: Tennessee - 3rd District
Bradley Beauchamp: Arizona - 1st District
Bill Randall: North Carolina - 13th District
Steve Favis: California - 3rd District
Edward Lynch: Florida - 19th District
Michael Frisbee: Georgia - 13th District
Chris Simcox: Arizona - Senate ThisNovember5th Candidate
Alex Snitker: Florida - Senate
Paul Welday: Michigan - 9th District
David Smith: Texas - 2nd District
Patrick Miranda: Tennessee - 5th District

Having a organization the gives our candidates a nice sized start up fund is very important. In districts around the country $25,000 is all that is needed to start a good anti incumbant campaign to get it off the ground so they become the frontrunner.

I joined, and think it is worth a look. I have zero affiliation with the group, just passing it along. Be sure to check out the details at Voters with Change on Facebook.

This is a great idea, and when our guys are the candidate for the week I will promo around our circles.

There are some really good Ron Paul and C4L member out there running. Ratowitz, Lambert,

Can't stand them & will not join them. Is there a mailing list that the updates can be sent out to?

This is only a facebook group list now. So all you would have to do is unjoin the group on the facebook page.

I hope the actual candidates wouldn't be allowed to send messages to group, if so, I would not like it either.

Hello Voter With Change!

I am encouraged and pleased to tell you that we just went over the 1300 Member mark!

Some of you have missed the link to our candidate this week, and it would be nice to see all 1305 members give at least $5. Though you are only required to give if you see the candidate posting when it first goes up, we won't hold back new members from jumping right into the fray!

Remember, if you have donated to Jaynee Germond already, you don't have to donate again...this is just a reminder for those who haven't done so yet.

Here is her information:

====================
Jaynee Germond
Oregon District 4
http://www.germond2010.com/donate
====================

Remember, our web site is up with some skeletal information while we build the real one. From there you can follow us on Twitter, Come check it out...and if you know Web 2.0 web design let me know...we could always use some more heads in the game getting this thing going!

http://www.voterswithchange.com

One last thing - we have some 28 candidates in the vetting process...and I was contacted today by a candidate for the presidency in 2012! If every candidate from Voters With Change, you will have changed 5.2% of Congress...and it only takes a committed 5% to change anything!

Thanks for all your support!

(Remember: No candidate presented tomorrow, Monday the 5th, so we can work out the kinks from our first candidate presented.)

John Dennis is candidate

Be sure to let any Ron Paul Republicans know about this group. Jaynee Germond was first to go. I donated, don't know the total.

Please keep spreading the word. Many of the Liberty Candidates, myself included, are maintaining full time jobs while spooling up a campaign. Please , please, please keep spreading the word!

I did not find anything on foreign policy on your page. Noninterventionalist, or was Iraq war a good idea.

I am not employed right now, but if I was I would definitely consider joining this. This should be on the front page. It has immense potential if it keeps growing.

Why i posted it

Submitted by tajitj on Mon, 09/21/2009 - 15:01.

Although some of the candidates on there are not to my complete liking, we need to tell any Ron Paul Republicans who are running in districts to see if they can get on the list.

This is some so simple, if it goes well could be the way we fund our candidates in the future. Instead of these random money bombs we need to somehow get everyone of our candidates $50,000 per Congessional race.

I put together a list of candidates I think are qualified to receive my a donation.
http://teapartyslate.blogspot.com/
I sent an email to all of them suggesting they become a candidate for Voters with Change.

Some are vague on foreign policy, if running for Gov I will give them a pass, for Congress if they dont get more specific I might take them off.

They are growing

Now 1,124 this has the chance to really go viral. I see a them hitting 5,000 soon.

If you got a candidate in your area who is running tell them about it.

Or a dollar a day

Submitted by The Granger on Tue, 09/15/2009 - 10:51.

I think you have a really good idea bundling groups, but I think the amounts people can make should be open. A nickle a day may not seem like much, but its'a nickle a day more you would not get if the limit was set at $5.

Also... when RP ran, like many people, I overspent. I learned something about myself in the process, and so, I have to budget myself knowing 2012 is not that far away and the rEVOLution will be bigger than ever, more things to do, places to go, people to meet... can't do it all.

That is why l like the idea. $5 a week. Less than a lunch, once a week could help fund 50 or more good constitutional candidates. This is broken down nice and cheap. Instead of asking for $100 bucks at a time.

It makes people consider it seeing the $5

Going to email all the congressional candidates at RetakeCongress telling them about VoterswithChange. I think they have a better simpler idea there and it would be better for them to look into joining.
