From the diaries. More like this, please! — Erick
Toomey’s campaign announced that they have raised more than $1million in 60 days. That’s a great accomplishment and should show the party leadership that conservatives can raise significant money and can win elections!
Now we have to help other conservatives throughout the country raise money to defeat the Dems next year. Give what you can to the candidates of your choice. Some of my other preferences:
Adam Kinzinger for Illinois Congressional District 11. Adam will try to win the seat back from Debbie Halvorson. He is the Air Force Reserves member who saved a woman from a knife wielding attacker with his bare hands. He’s also a good young gun conservative who will make us proud.
Marco Rubio is of course running for Senate in Florida and will be battling the NRSC’s pick Charlie Crist. Marco will need all the help you can spare to get through the primary.
Texas Railroad Commissioner Michael Williams is a good conservative who has proven that he can take on a big job and do great work. Please support his run for US Senate.
Please find other deserving conservative Republicans who need your assistance and do what you can to get them elected. If you don’t know any of your own, pick one of mine and toss them some cash. 8*)

Thanks for this, Brian. Reco'd because we need to keep this stuff front & center
eburke (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 2:40PM EST (link)RS is absolutely a great place to discuss, learn, vent, and make contacts. But in the end, it’s the choir (well, except for the moby’s and trolls who wander by every once in a while).
But the bottom line is – we gotta make sure we put as much, if not more, energy outside these ‘four walls.’ Thanks Brian!
(oh, and btw, got my long awaited, long anticipated ‘fund-raising’ appeal from the NRSC today in the mail. Heh, heh. I’ve been waiting for *weeks* for this moment. Microsoft Word awaits my seething, snarky fingers upon my arrival at the eburke castle this evening.)

Even though it's "the choir" there is a ripple effect.
penguin2 (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 3:31PM EST (link)I learned about Redstate last fall, started participating in Jan. RS has been an excellent source of info for those of us who are out there, thinking like you, but not knowing there were others or what to do.
Consider monetary support for conservative candidates, people learn about them here and thus act on it. We have. In other words, RS continues to educate “the choir.”

Kasich & Portman in Ohio
Crowe (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 3:29PM EST (link)Conservative Republicans with no squishy GOP challengers with any sort of a shot.
Kasich for Governor
Rob Portman for Senate (for the seat of the retiring Voinovich)
“We sleep soundly in our beds only because
rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence upon those who would do us harmDear Leader Obama gives us leave to do so.”But with liberal Dem opponents
Crowe (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 4:03PM EST (link)I should have added that while they don’t have squishy GOP opponents they will have well-funded liberal Dem opponents in the general: Kasich trying to unseat milquetoast and tax-and-spend Gov. Strickland; and Portman up against either Lt. Gov. (and former Atty Gen) Lee Fisher or SecState Jen “Frau” Brunner (yes, that Jen Brunner). Ohio cannot afford anymore liberal Dems like them. Portman and Kasich need and deserve support.

rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence upon those who would do us harmDear Leader Obama gives us leave to do so.”Scott Walker for Wisconsin Governor
zachv (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 3:29PM EST (link)A great conservative to finally get rid of that AWFUL Doyle.
Didn't Somebody Just Post a Poll Showing Doyle Ahead?
IJB Monday, June 15th at 4:03PM EST (link)I’ve got to say, if WI reelects Doyle, I think that shows the ‘die is cast’ in WI becoming another semi-permanent ‘Blue State’. There’s simply no justification for reelecting the guy.
Thankfully Not
zachv (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 4:59PM EST (link)Some Dem. Polling Place Just Release this Today
“Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle is suffering from a poor approval rating and trails two possible 2010 opponents, the newest survey from Public Policy Polling finds.
…
In possible 2010 contests, Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker leads Doyle 48-40 and former Congressman Mark Neumann holds a 42-41 advantage.”

Rick Crawford for US Congress in Arkansas
Jonah Shumate (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 4:05PM EST (link)Rick is a Army veteran who is running against “Blue Dog Democrat” Marion Berry. The same one who underreported his home in DC by a cool $500K.
You can learn more about Rick at www.meetrickcrawford.com and he was also profiled by Moe here on Red State.
Hes a strong conservative who is NO RINO!!!
Chuck DeVore vs Barbara Boxer
Erick Brockway (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 6:09PM EST (link)Chuck is one of the good ones trying to hold the line against taxes in California.
Fighting a losing battle maybe but he’s a former Army Intel guy and would be the perfect replacement for the Boxcar.

redtillimdead (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 7:03PM EST (link)I wish Chuck could win. He may be able to, but it will take a lot of $$$. Hopefully, millionaire Carly Fiorina will get in.

A few hundred away from the initial goal of 50k. Not a good fundraiser.

Thanks for the promotion Erick.
Brian Hibbert (Diary) Tuesday, June 16th at 6:33AM EST (link)And thanks to everyone else for supporting their candidates of choice. I encourage you all to do what you can to get these people elected.
Yes, I’m preaching to the choir here, but the choir tends to put more money in the basket than the rest of the congregation. We need those contributions to keep our candidates viable and to win elections.
Unless we turn our words into action, we’re just generating rhetoric and accomplishing nothing. WE must get active and become an injdespensible portion of the party in order to get conservatives elected and get the country back on track. Without action (and money), it’s just words.
Candidate for Trustee of Illinois Central College
Socialism doesn’t work. It looks nice on paper, but it’s been tried and it’s failed miserably every time (usually accompanied by widespread death and suffering).
Proud member of the V.R.W.C.
Take back our party!
