Here is what he posted in another thread. Lets give him our support and get Issa out!!!

I'm running as a Democrat against Issa in 2014, and would love the support of anyone reading this thread. The race is winnable.

1. Bring a big stick and swing it hard, Dave. Issa should be in jail.

His 'investigations' always come after he sets up his target with charges he caused. The old-fashioned description would be he sets up a frame. Like by telling the inspector to ONLY report back on IRS scrutiny of RW groups and to ignore all other scrutiny, thereby trying to FRAME the WH for the targeting of political enemies that never happened. Lazy media let him do it and helped push his frame.

There are a good number of us here who will get your back.

[Berlum]

56. The media, inc. have been remarkably "lazy" with Issa's poisonous perfidy

His pernicious bullshit (R) is so thin it is transparent to the point of occultation.

[belltower]

58. Suggestion: focus on ethics

Please contrast Republican policies with common religious ethics, and hang it loudly and proudly around the neck of the richest member of Congress, Mr Darrell Issa. This can be done with class, the essential underlying message being the hypocrisy of proclaiming what a Judeo-Christian nation we are, in the face of narcissistic and greedy laws and policies the Republicans support.

Pope Francis is about to issue what I hope will be the strongest language heard with regard to private industries' and Western nations' insistence on a fundamental right to pollute the environment however they wish. Use Pope Francis' words and give 'em hell -- call them out for giving us hell on earth, drought in California.

Contrast and compare: be a gentleman, don't mention how unethical he is, rather proclaim your own ethics time and again. As the Christie affair demonstrates, people are finally fed up with bullies.

Good luck.

71. Issa came to town with a shady past, why not

add that to the mix as well?

[Egalitarian Thug]

2. K&R #5 & welcome to him. n/t

[okaawhatever]

3. You had me at "running against Issa" nt

[riqster]

8. Me, too!

[renate]

14. that should be a campaign slogan!

Issa is such a disgusting item. Nice eyelashes, I will grant him that, but not nice enough to redeem him.

[PCIntern]

4. Well, if Peiser's car disappears, we can all surmise what happened to it.

Issa to Peiser in their first debate: Is it true that you picked your feet in Poughkeepsie?

[riqster]

9. He'd best have good insurance on everything he owns.

Issa's a firebug as well as a car thief.

[RGinNJ]

5. Welcome to DU and the best of fortune to you in congress.

[broiles]

6. I'll be sending a donation.

[calimary]

7. I just did, too.

This campaign, and - if she runs - Sandra Fluke's. My congressman, Henry Waxman, just announced his retirement. DAYUM would I love to have HER replacing him. She'd represent me even better than he has, and I didn't think that was possible.

[daleanime]

16. +1

[riqster]

10. Best of luck Mr. Peiser!

[octoberlib]

11. Awesome! I wish I didn't live in NC

so I could vote for you!

[noiretextatique]

12. you have my support

And I will spread the word. Issa is an odious thug...unfit for office.

[radhika]

13. Notify Real Time with Bill Maher....per last night's challenge....

He asked viewers to contact the show if their incumbent Congress critter just has to go. One of the nominees will be selected by his show, the show will get involved unseating him/her. Guess this means incumbents only. Not sure of how they will get involved.

BTW: Issa was a panel guest on this show.

[okaawhatever]

19. I think Bill Maher promised Issa it wouldn't be him. There was a story on here somewhere. nt

[daleanime]

15. K&R....

[RainDog]

17. Wishing him all success getting rid of Issa

that would be a good thing for this nation.

[olegramps]

18. Be careful this guy is dangerous.

How can I contribute to your campaign? I hope everyone on this board supports him.

[tblue]

53. You mean Issa.

Yeah. He is not to be trusted. Go Peiser!!!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

66. thanks yuiyoshida. :)

[okaawhatever]

23. Mr. Peiser has a blog and has posted on Daily Kos. It seems he hasn't posted in a while unless

it's because his writings have moved elsewhere. He's an amateur musician. He holds a Masters in Business Admin with undergrad in biomedical engineering. He's started two businesses and is on the board of the non-profit Microloans for Mothers.

24. It's great to be here

Thank you everyone for the overwhelming welcome to DU! I appreciate it very much.

I would love to hear from you. Our website and FB page are in the previous post. It would also be great if you could follow me on twitter @dpeiser. We're over 2000 followers at this point and looking to build our online community. We've started a hashtag #FIF for Fire Issa Friday. Would be great if we could get that to trend on Fridays.

Let's stay in touch.

There are links on the website for volunteering and contributions.

Hit them hard from the left and you will succeed

[PoliticalPothead]

67. I'd like to see this too.

As someone who lives in his district, it'd be nice to know his position on these issues before I vote for him.

[grahamhgreen]

69. I support my Dems but I like to hold their feet to the fire too:) These are the solutions!!!

[Brother Buzz]

38. Any communication with DCCC regarding their Red to Blue program?

[Nanjing to Seoul]

41. As one who keeps track of everything these clowns do for the Top Ten article,

And since Issa is a usual target. . .kick his monkey ass! Send him back.

If I may give one word of advice. . .never back down. make him howl until the moon is tired of hearing it. Control the language of the debate and make sure all your ducks are in a row.

Finally, use us here as a resource for opposition research. Issa is a person we want out of Congress.

You're not alone.

[hfojvt]

43. Tetalman did pretty good

but it looks like a tough district, and an opponent with very deep pockets.

Quickly perusing your site, seems to me that your discussion of issues reads kinda jargonesque to me. Doesn't excite me. But I am not all that excited about immigration "reform" either. Your district may vary.

I think it would be important to focus on Issa's record and show people how they are poorly served by him.

[CK_John]

48. Cyber-era productivity problem which can not create enough jobs for the population calls for

reducing the SocSec age to 50yr. IMO, our next great challenge. Good Luck.

A good issue to get national attention by bring it up.

[Plucketeer]

62. Dave, you represent a beacon of hope

Issa's a grinning cancer on the face of humanity. We'd dearly love to see him sent packing with his ill-gotten millions.

[Javaman]

72. Glad to have you here! Good luck! nt

[SoapBox]

25. Yay!

Good luck Dave!

We will all be keeping fingers crossed for you.

[zappaman]

26. Kick and rec!

And I am certainly sending a check!

[Todays_Illusion]

27. Thank you Dave Peiser for daring to run against a Koch darling, It will be hard

and they have all the money. You have California going for you.


I want to caution everyone, in every state. The libertarians are on a stealth game to run libertarians as Democratic.

Be very vigilant in examining any candidate's ideas on economic and civil rights and please watch for ideas on education, taxes, social programs, and civil rights issues.

Do not be fooled by libertarian's liberalism on strictly social/cultural issues, drugs, abortion, religion and LGBT rights.

[Rex]

29. Anything to help get the crook Issa out of office!

It is LONG past time that crook was gone from the halls of Congress.

[AzDar]

32. Welcome!

[rocktivity]

35. Welcome, and good luck! Is there anything we out-of-state types can do?

Can we donate money, and if so, how much?

[nadinbrzezinski]

36. And looking at the map

With redistricting it is no longer arterial red.

[flamingdem]

37. Best of luck to Dave!

Keep us informed please.

[Dopers_Greed]

39. Go Dave!

I'm pulling for you here in Texas (even though I won't be able to vote for you). Take down that asshole!

[JDPriestly]

40. Good luck to Dave Peiser.

[dorkzilla]

42. Best of luck Dave! Your campaign only needs to tell the truth about Issa! n/t

[ReRe]

44. I challenge everyone to....

... add Dave Peiser's webpage to their sig line. I'm doing it right now. Go Dave Peiser!

[trublu992]

45. Sooo many Republican Assholes to oust soo little time

Full support here!

[spanone]

46. k&r...

[Iwillnevergiveup]

47. Welcome, Dave!

Issa used to be tied with Michelle Bachman in my mind as the top 2 to be voted out of the House. Now that she's leaving (and Iowa probably has something to do with that), it's an easy call. I'm not in your district, but am in California and am sick and tired of being outraged by all of Issa's shenanigans. You have my full support and I will spread the word.

Hip, Hip, Hooray - please stay in touch with DU and let us know what you need.

[Liberty Belle]

49. Have him pm me. Working on an investigative story on a new Issa scandal in the making.

Would love to have Peiser's comments...

[Hekate]

50. Shout-out from the Central Coast: Best of luck beating Issa, Mr. Peiser!

[pablo_marmol]

51. Issa currently (mis)represents me.

Am I pulling for Mr. Peiser? You betta believe it!

[Beaverhausen]

52. Kick

[Berlum]

54. Best wishes for decency, integrity, honesty, and democracy

Good luck Dave Peiser!

[emsimon33]

55. I live on the Central Coast but will help any way that I can

[another_liberal]

57. Welcome to DU, Mr. Peiser.

You will find support here aplenty!

[Walk away]

59. I was just thinking that someone should kick Issa'a ass....

now I feel like I helped! That was a fun donation!

[1StrongBlackMan]

60. Went to his site ...

seems like someone I could vote for and support.

[hue]

61. Thanks 4 running & joining!! We need You & greatly appreciate You!!!

[Iwillnevergiveup]

63. Nice background on Mr. Peiser

Went to his website, donated and signed up to volunteer making phone calls last night. Already heard back this morning by e-mail that someone would contact me. Watching Issa on Bill Maher (again) make a fool out of himself gave me all the motivation I need to help oust him.

GO, DAVE PEISER 'cause we have had enough!

[CottonBear]

65. K&R

Campaign on ethics and the TRUTH.

Be a Big D Liberal Democrat!

Best of luck!

[treestar]

68. That rocks!

Issa needs to be out of Congress!

[mstinamotorcity2]

70. Consider it

DONE!!!!!! Issa is a rotten piece of work. where do I send my $10.00??????
