I don't forget about Twana Brawely. But then maybe that is why I will never understand the advantage of being seen with Al Sharpton.

Politicians. Say anything you want but spell my name right......and often.

If you break down those approval numbers a little bit, the answer will leap off the page.

I'm starting to get my first campaign donations. I want to raise $10,000 to get yard signs, bumper stickers, business cards, tri-fold pamphlets, etc. and to have the big barbeque in the park. So far, I've got $70 in donationsl That's a long way to $10,000, but you can help.

My mailing address for checks is:

Paul T. Ireland
14506 1/2 South Vermont Avenue
Gardena, CA 90247

If you want to make a credit card donation or paypal, you can use my paypal email address:

ptireland@charter.net

or visit my still unfinished website at:

http://www.electpaulireland.com

I appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks.

Cool...now you can say that you've actually given the California Republican Party a moment of pause, and forced them to spend money. No matter what else may happen, at least you've made that much of a splash.

Now...go kick their asses, man.

Kitsune · 03-30-2006, 03:34 PM

Everyone should take a moment to review Radar's stance on issues. He'd get my vote.

xoxoxoBruce · 03-30-2006, 07:52 PM

Maybe UG will donate a knife.

warch · 04-04-2006, 03:43 PM

I salute your initiative. don't really share your platform, but I salute your initiative. Congrats for jumping in and making yourself heard. Have a good run.

Radar · 04-05-2006, 07:36 PM

Thanks for the kind words.

I've got some good news, the Republican took papers out the day before the due date but didn't turn them in on time so it's going to be...

Paul T. Ireland
Carl McGill
Gordon Mego
Maxine Waters

McGill will be eliminated after the primary in June, and then there will be 3 of us. Me, a Democrat, and a psycho.

I'm trying to scrape up the money I'll need for bumper stickers, yard signs, road signs, pamphlets, business cards, etc.

I've already gotten a pretty generous donation from one of the people here. I will as that person if it's ok to say who they are before I mention them, but I was very touched and appreciative.

I'm hoping to raise $10,000 before November half of that before 6/6/6 so I can start putting the signs all over the place and to start getting a little name recognition.

Anything you can give will help, even if it's not money. If you are good with graphics, I can use help with that. If you write well, maybe you can help me with web page content, etc.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-05-2006, 08:43 PM

Yeah, I like the status quo shaken up a little. Give the voters an alternative, a way to register their disgust without being lumped with the too lazy to vote group.

I've seen the way Radar can bring out the best in people.

Radar · 04-05-2006, 11:50 PM

I actually stand a decent chance of getting into a debate with her assuming someone is willing to host one.

Ibby · 04-20-2006, 11:01 PM

Power to you, dude. I just looked at your stances on issues, and I think i agree with every single one. I especially liked your stance on gay marriage, and I think I may have to borrow that explanation to throw in the faces of my more right-wing... 'friends'.

OnyxCougar · 04-21-2006, 07:26 AM

There is a company called ABC distributing (www.abcdistributing.com) who sell lots of personalizable pens, pins, bumperstickers, pencils, t-shirts, keychains, etc cheep.

Then I realized you're down in LA, so you can prolly find that stuff cheaper in the industrial parts of town. I think you should stay with businesses in your district if you can, maybe they'll cut you a break on price as a "contribution".

And I'd go with vietnamese on the website. IIRC, your area has a high Vietnamese population, and that would probably be one step your opponents have not thought of (although I havent visited the other sites.)

9th Engineer · 04-26-2006, 08:05 PM

Dang, I wish you running out here in Pennsylvania. I especially like your position on immigration, although I wish you good luck in trying to deny them the free handouts. The Republicans would recoil from your suggestions to allow unlimited immigration, and the Democrates would try to tar and feather you for suggesting that we don't owe these people cash on arrival. I salute you

Radar · 04-27-2006, 03:03 PM

Thanks for the kind words. I'm still trying to raise up $2,600 so anything you can give would help. I'm at almost $700 right now. I need the money to build name recognition.

A friend of mine used to be a gameshow host (Supermarket Sweep). His name is Dave Ruprecht. He said he'd be willing to help me with a fund raiser or two. But really my best bet is getting people online to help me. A lot of people dislike Maxine Waters, so I'm hoping they'll help me beat her.
