OS to run all the way to DC for working families????

Nebraska at this time does not have a candidate for US Congressional District two or US Senate. I have been asked several times. I'm in a short line. I thought running to get to the convention in Denver next year would have been enough. The Nebraska primary is in May. I believe candidates must file by early March. Keep an eye on the goings on in Nebraska.

You all know I would represent the common people, the working families, etc... If I run, I won't wear a tie. You can be sure I will wear a shirt with a blue collar!!!!

3. If you run...
Simply speak from the heart and tell the story you know. Slick political types may try to foist ideas and stances and presentations of yourself on you that make you uncomfortable. Trust your gut and go with it. If you buy into their packaged blandness too much, you will start presenting yourself as things you are not, and that is something the voters grok in nothing flat.

When the freepishly-inclined start flinging fecal matter like cage-crazed monkeys on Nasty Biker Crank, fight back hard. They will start flinging. It's all they know. The indignantly uttered phrase "This. Will. Not. Stand." is your friend.

I worked on two congressional campaigns. I actually was a paid staffer on one. I learned a few things. Just a few.
