TerryBJ Lawson, Congressional Candidate in North Carolina's 4th District, has 20 year incumbent David Price running scared. Volunteer today to help BJ Lawson (endorsed by Dr. Ron Paul) advocate liberty, the Constitution, free markets, and non-interventionism in the Congress.
BJ Lawson, candidate for Congress in North Carolina's 4th District, has 20 year incumbent David Price scrambling to save his political skin. Ron Paul has described BJ Lawson as "...a wonderful young candidate running for Congress in North Carolina’s Fourth Congressional District. B.J. is a medical doctor, family man, Constitutionalist and a fierce defender of individual freedom. We need B.J. Lawson in Congress to stand beside me in the fight for liberty, and against the corporate socialism that has overtaken our economy!"
In an election year where both political parties appear drifiting toward socialism and neither offers voters what they want, BJ Lawson offers more than hope - he offers a return to the principles of constitutional government, a commitment to liberty, support for sound money, He is also one of the few candidates for Congress who has endorsed the complete Downsize DC agenda, including the Read the Bills Act which would require that:
- Each bill, and every amendment, must be read in its entirety before a quorum in both the House and Senate.
- Every member of the House and Senate must sign a sworn affidavit, under penalty of perjury, that he or she has attentively either personally read, or heard read, the complete bill to be voted on.
- Every old law coming up for renewal under the sunset provisions must also be read according to the same rules that apply to new bills.
- Every bill to be voted on must be published on the Internet at least 7 days before a vote, and Congress must give public notice of the date when a vote will be held on that bill.
- Passage of a bill that does not abide by these provisions will render the measure null and void, and establish grounds for the law to be challenged in court.
- Congress cannot waive these requirements.
There is much to like about BJ Lawson's campaign. You can get a flavor by watching his recent debate with David Price.
Which leads me to the purpose of this post. BJ Lawson needs your help to make a big, final push to defeat David Price for Congress. I received the following email from Martin Avila, campaign manager for BJ Lawson, that describes the current situation.
Today was interesting...
Calls flooded in from our early voting volunteers saying that David Price now has people out in the field. Congrats to him.
One person overheard a conversation where the Price supporters said staff were pulled from Washington D.C. to come down and belatedly launch a campaign. While I can neither confirm or deny this, the fact remains – the Price campaign wasn't prepared for us and we are a threat to win this election.
However, as we approach the final election day, we desperately need more hands on deck. With your help, time, energy, and yes - your contribution, we can win this race.
The 111th Congress needs fiscal sanity, a respect for the founding documents of our nation, and above all else - transparency and honesty. BJ brings all of those things to the table.
I would appreciate it very much if you visited our new Volunteer & Donor Outreach tool and applied to make phone calls to support our campaign.
Once you apply you will get a call from our office to activate your account.
- First we need to call our supporters urging them to volunteer for activities here in the district.
- Lastly, we will need help contacting over 100,000 voters urging them to cast their ballot for BJ Lawson.
We have the tools and message on our side. Now let's get out there and do this.
In Liberty,
Martin Avila
Campaign Manager
So, we have a great opportunity to elect a candidate to stand by Ron Paul and fight for liberty and the Constitution. What is needed is a little of your time, a contribution, or both to help win the victory. After the recent bailout vote by Congress, where David Price and a host of others voted yes - despite the fact that voters overwhelmingly opposed it - the stakes could not be any higher. Not only will BJ Lawson fight for liberty and the Constitution, but I believe he will inspire even more to join the revolution and follow his example and run for office to restore the founding principles of our nation.
