AWD's campaign...an update!

[AWD]

So, here's the latest on my campaign for US House Of Representatives, for those of you wondering.

My petition to appear on the ballot is complete, and I've now filed officially. They haven't yet verified all the signatures, but I only need 50 valid ones, so I'm in. I went to all my friends and fellow peace activists, so I'm certain that all the signatures are good.

As far as the Board Of Elections are concerned, I have nothing left to do but wait for the primaries.

My campaign is a different story. I have an appointment later today to open up an account at my credit union. Once that is complete, I will assign a PayPal account to it so online contributions can be made. Also, I will have a P.O. Box by the end of the day for anybody who wishes to donate through regular mail (I had a few people ask about that).

Today, I begin building my web page (unless anybody out there wants to contribute by helping me build a kick-butt website???).

I'm looking for the perfect URL too. I wanted to use jeff4congress.com (borrowing a page from Vince4Congress.com, a fellow DUers significant other who is running), but that is registered from the 2002 elections and doesn't expire until June next year. Maybe I'll write the guy and ask him to give it up???

I'll post a generic version of the website in the next day or two so people can donate early if they like (I got a LOT of people from here asking for a place to donate....again, thank you).

Tonight, my campaign manager and a few close friends will meet at my house to discuss strategy and a few key items. If anybody wishes to offer up ideas, feel free to do so. A LOT of you were extremely helpful right off the bat (goobergunch's research is going to go a LONG way), so keep it up.

My e-mail icon does work, so you can send directly to me there, or PM me if you like. I'll now be able to answer everybody who writes to me, so go right ahead!

DUers are the best. I'll do my best to see that we are represented!
