My run for Congress

a reply to: CriticalStinker

Now it's a shame that a party would take it upon themselves to eat one of their own, and such a gorgeous one I may add....

"History doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes."

Best wishes!

Skipping over much to say, i have often wondered why you didn't run for office and so glad to hear you are. You are articulat and informed. Just don't write your speeches because you are known for 'fat fingers'. Still ATS loves you.

hopefully Pa will want someone who doesn't want to dip into the life time congressional kitty.

have always wondered why they called these congressional people 'in service to our country' when they are paid more and get a lifetime retirement more than majority of Americans.

Nice! Keep us up to date, I appreciate your voice of reason around here and your willingness to view the whole story before jumping to conclusions. As such, you'll stick out like a sore thumb in congress. If I was in PA you'd have my vote.

You should post a donation link, I'd donate a few bucks to your campaign and I've never donated to ANY political campaign.

Sorry to be that guy, but you'll never make it.

You're too honest and likely not to pay much lip-service. Open to conspiracies that land at the feet of government and allow yourself to not only listen but understand the other side of the argument.

Doomed to fail.

Although I wish you the best of luck and will continue to support ya here and on the youtoob!

ETA: OH, and most importantly, you don't want other peoples money, especially from corporate interests.

Certainly my integrity will make it hard to win.

It would be much easier to obfuscate difficult issues and pander, but I will not do that.

I know my chances are slim, but I love being an underdog, and will do everything I can to win.

And if I lose, at least I know I treid, and I will have learned a lot.

I will be anxiously anticipating the threads on what you learned.

Best of luck man, genuinely.

The odds are against you (money wise), but damn I hope you win. Much respect.

COngrats buddy and all the best luck to you, im sure you can do it.....

If you get elected, maybe another run for office you can go 3rd party.........

Youve got some good stuff man and a sound head on your shoulders , as Glenn Beck says if you get there, dont let DC ruin your soul....make sure you have all that sorted firmly.....

message me and you can add me to facebook so i can keep up with everything!

Oh boy, Grambler is going to get sucked into politics and if he wins, he will move to DC where the worst deceivers in the world will try to convince him to make a deal with the devil everyday. They will set him up with prostitutes to get him under their control. They will bring him out to the bars and get him drunk so they can use it against him to blackmail him into voting on bills they want to get passed. They will spoil him with expensive donuts and coffee from the best places in the world.

Boy, is he going to have fun. I'm a little jealous.

RUN

Good luck my friend from Congressional District:
PA-14
State Senate District:
PA-42
State House District:
PA-45
You have my support and wishing you the very best.

If I am nominated and seconded at the convention, then I will get 5 minutes to speak. Then the top ten advance to the next round, and so on. 

You should have no problem filling 5 minutes. Let me repeat; you should have NO PROBLEM KEEPING A SPEECH UNDER 5 MINUTES RIGHT???
Save the debate stuff for the right time..... and let'r rip! You certainly know how to debate.

If I could say one serious thing, it would be this./ More people on ATS should run. Some of the people on this site seem more genuine and have a better knowledge of many political issues than many of our elected officials, even the ones I disagree with. Sure there are some we wouldnt want running (probably me to many people) but we need more regular people running for office, regardless of what country you are from.

This is why you should run. And you see things from more than one view. I've seen you exhibit patience here on this site on many occasions. You have brought thought to your threads, and clearly have studied much materials which you bring to ATS. You are direct and teach others your ideals in an easy understandable manner. You have taken great pains to try and understand others.

You Grambler ( and a real name I know of )
Are perfect for this job for the people.


Sincerely,
Bigburgh
Tim B.

Edit: shave the beard and keep that hair nicely cut.

Go get 'em Grambler. You'll do great as I know you to be an honest and straightforward man, that alone puts you at the head of the pack in my eyes.

Oh K..

Good job, friend. It’s really inspiring to see you do this.

As for your posting history, who cares? Don’t be apologetic to something that isn’t anything to be sorry about. Do not acquiesce to their smears. I have a feeling you have a thick skin.

Hmmmmmm, Freedom of Information, Above Top Secret, UFO's, what do they wear under Kilts... Those 11 herbs and spices.... it boggles the mind...

I’m gonna come over the border via Mexico and vote for you.

It’s a long way from Australia, but it’s worth it!

I have not seen a Springer post in a long while.
That is a huge endorsement for this site.
Sounds like overall ATS has your back.

Most respondents are not in your area, but you have greater appeal. I hope things work in your favor.

Good luck to you Grambler!

One day when when you'll be mr. President Grambler I will boast to my grandchildren :"he he, we've been on ATS together!"
So this post is a future proof lol
Joke aside, congratulation and much luck!
And if you get in I wish you the all the strength in the world to bear the burden!

How cute.

a reply to: Grambler

hey man congrats for this decision and all the best luck to you, I am sure you will do just great!

I have not read the whole thread so my apologies if this has been asked already, but when you win (see, I didn't write 'if' ), as a congressman will you be able to still freely post and debate political issues on ATS and keep your YT channel without heavy censoring from your team?
