Terbolizzard? Are you Reptilian? From the Jaguar family of Lizzard? My God, the media is going to have a blast with your name. I'm going to donate $20 to you. I cannot wait to see what comedians do with your name. I love your message. Go TerbuLizzard Go. Now that's funny, I don't care who you are.... :)
I am way up here in Rdding CA but you definitely have my vote. I have studied economics and nutrition for the last 6 years and until my discovery of Ron Paul in September, I thought this country was done for. Good luck with your campaign, you have my support!
You're a good public speaker and you are good with video productions, are ya good at talking to the public, reading bills, and all that jazz? :) If you were in my district I'd vote for ya!
Nillok: yes, I'm good at reading. And I plan to vote 'No' on bills put up for vote in the House that do not allow adequate time for me to read through them: example being the Patriot Act, which was a lengthy volume presented just hours before a vote; there was no way to read it prior to voting.
Changing the environment and bringing honesty back to government representation is IMPERATIVE. Those in power now have skewed the rules, stacked the deck and created an uneven playing field. People like Ted and I entered this public arena because we want to CHANGE it for the better. I personally do NOT want to be a lifelong politician. I want to make the necessary changes and come back to live as a private citizen - but we need YOUR help.
you are asking me to violate FEC rules; i cannot promise a donor anything, ESPECIALLY in contract. which brings up another discussion for later; we do not have free elections in our nation at this time.
further, the house itself has rules that say they all must follow the constitution at all times, and we see how well that works. =(
let's just keep open lines of communication; the more you get to know me, the more mutual trust we'll have.
I'm not talking about A donor, I'm talking about all donors.
We've all been lied to. We have a Republican in the office that increased the national debt by 40%, has started nation building in 2 locations, and has grown Federal government by 30%.
You're saying that it's against FEC rules to have CONSEQUENCES if you break your promises?
your reaction is entirely appropriate. the FEC rules are maddening to read. go download them yourself at FEC dot gov. i said before, we do not have free elections.
there are no rules i know of that enforce keeping campaign promises, but there are many rules against making promises to donors. think about it: if someone gives me x amount of money if i promise to vote a certain way...
We feel your frustration - that's a contributing factor as to why we decided to run for public office. I love my privacy - I can be considered a 'reluctant politician'. But I want my freedoms and liberties back - and this congress will not give them to me so I must get inside and TAKE them back. We need help from people like you to do that.
Make a VERBAL contract. That's still technically legally binding.
Make a video, agree to it, and in the video, urge people to VOTE YOU OUT, if you don't follow up.
Keep a record of what you do in office, keep people updated on the bills you're signing. Explain why you vote certain ways. I'd like to see you guys with live feeds working at your desks even.
definitely - we plan to continue congressional coast to coast podcasts and youtube videos all through our tenture in office. The only way government is successful is when it is TRANSPARENT. I'm not looking to hide anything nor be a lifelong politician. I want my freedoms back!!! Being a politician means giving up your privacy. As it is now with the Patriot Act, NO ONE's PRIVACY is safe.
You make it known that THIS IS WHAT I WILL DO, and I WILL RESIGN IF I DON'T DO IT, and you advertise that, and you will get a lot of support.
I highly suggest that you swear of junkets, that you fly 2nd class everywhere, etc. It's a burden to be a representative of your constituents. Jesse Ventura realized this.
you've got our word about communicating with constituents in a manner that is consistent with our current methods. however, the house could always pass rules against this; they prohibit members of congress from saying or communicating many things, which is itself something i want to help change.
and, in honor of the late paul wellstone and jfk jr., i will never fly in a private plane of any kind while in office, coach all the way.
If you are gagged by house order, you should at least say "I've been gagged by house order, please contact your representative to complain about this if you disagree".
Ah yeah, Wellstone - a lot of people think he was murdered. I am loathe to draw conclusions, but I tend to leave open possibilities.
Good for you! The presidency isn't enough, we need a lot of Ron Paul Republicans to run for office at all levels.

They are more powerful because the Sky is the limit, not millions to billions of dollars.
The Truth is the Internet is being controlled by the Gustapo, and even here censorship.

Hey Terbo,
In all seriousness, I need to ask - how do I know I can trust you?
Do you guarentee to uphold the constitution for example? Will you sign a document that states you will resign if you betray it?
You guys do that, and you'll get my money, but every voter here has felt the sting of betrayal. We need more than integrity, how about a contract?

which gets exactly to the point of this video.
congress breaks its own rules constantly.

What's wrong with that, if the contract is public, and everybody knows that you've agreed to it?
I can see it wrong as being a PRIVATE contract, which the public isn't aware of.
I know government doesn't follow it's own laws. I know.
I am old enough to remember the Republican Contract with America. They didn't fulfill their promises.

now we're talking. i do plan on making youtube clips while in office, explaining to the best of my abilities what is going on.
i always encourage people to run for office, against me and everyone else. the more competition we have, the stronger our leaders will be.
santoro and i are planning a new fundraising effort for january that ties into a constitutional theme... stay tuned...
