I would like advice in running for Congress against Dan Newhouse.             MAGA            
posted ago by Kitzinger1 ago by Kitzinger1 +877 / -0

I've already started the petition portion for the filing and it's looking pretty easy to get the 1000+ signatures as people are hearing that I'm serious about going after this guy and have volunteered to help me get those signatures I need to file.

I have zero clue on what I am doing though. I've never ran a campaign or been a part of one in fact. All I know is Dan Newhouse is a traitor and he needs to go.

So, I'm looking for advice, guidance, and recommendations on how to begin my campaign to unseat him.

I'm just an average middle class american tired of career politicians selling out America for their own personal greed. In fact, that is one of the things I would really like to see happen is to get term limits in for Congress.

I'm an Army Veteran (honorable discharge) and I took my oath and still do to support and defend the Constitution and seeing these Democrats purposefully whittle and erode it to serve their purposes has me spitting mad.

The 2nd Amendment states "shall not be infringed" and yet the Democrats dismiss those words as if they are not even there. It's like the battle of Athens never happened. The 2nd Amendment is the only thing keeping our Government from enacting tyrannical rule over our lives.

I firmly believe in America First policies and I do not believe our country has any reason to be conducting business with countries that are in the act of committing genocide. There is other countries that build our cheap useless crap that are not communist and actually are not committing human rights violations.

I also believe that the office of the President has too much power and that Executive Orders need to be brought in check. Congress is the Legislative branch and for too long they have deferred their responsibilities to the Executive Branch because they are too cowardly to take up any action that may threaten their chances of getting another term.

I also believe that Tech censorship is a threat to American liberties and that by conducting such censorship these companies claimed to be platforms have indeed become publishers and should then be held and seen as such.

There needs to be antitrust actions brought upon Google and the company needs to be broken apart.

My name is (removed at admin request) and I am running for congress. I would like your help, advice, and guidance to help me unseat Dan Newhouse and kick him to the curb where he belongs.

edit: I would like to say thank you for the outpouring of support, advice, and recommendations. All of it I will use in the days coming ahead. The fight will be rough. I am currently outgunned and outmanned. Financially, I know my opponent has resources that are absolutely enormous compared to mine. He is an entrenched elite career politician who has powerful friends in high places. I just can't bitch anymore. Complaining is useless. It takes good people to stand up and fight for what they believe in if there is to be any sort of positive change for the better. Dan Newhouse is part of the problem. A career politician who makes his money selling favors to corporate behemoths. As a soldier I was trained to adapt and overcome any problem that stood in my way and Dan Newhouse is a problem. He needs to go. Thank you again for your encouragement, support, and advice. I will need it all in the days coming ahead.

I ran a congressional campaign in CA. Here's what you'll find out... you have to do it all yourself. The Party will not give you any help or money.

There will be people claiming to want to help and they'll be from organizations or foundations for blah blah blah.

They are not there to help you -- they work for the other side.

Are you any good at marketing on a shoestring budget?

I don't know. Guess we'll find out.

First, get a website and write a platform. Make sure you mention you're 100% MAGA.

You'll need to buy a domain same, hosting for the site, and a WordPress Template pre-designed for a political campaign. That should cost between $200-$300 total.

Find an email newsletter service -- I always used Aweber. Use it to build a list of email subscribers and always build your list.

Once you have that, figure out a way for people to make donations on your site with a payment processor who doesn't ban conservatives.

Do some videos and syndicate to all of the video hosting sites.

Keep your blog updated with content and videos. Share everything on branded Social Media accounts.

Once it looks like you have something serious set up... then reach out to The Trump Campaign, because they'd be the only ones who count.

If you can get an endorsement, you have a shot at winning.

Feel free to message me here if you have any questions.

Every pede should get involved where they're most comfortable. Invade as much as you're willing to do. Do you want to be front and center on the world stage, or do you want to be the rich, warm undercurrent that feeds the wave? It's up to you?

Keep local copies of email lists, etc. for when they decide to cut you off.

Read the book Win Bigly by Scott Adams to understand how Trump used tactical persuasion techniques to become the most influential political figure in our life time without spending a ton of money. You can use those same techniques to great success. It’s freaky how well the work one you apply them.

I would be happy to donate a copy to your campaign if you would like. Audio or print, just Lmk where to send it.

How about a referral network of all magapedes running for office?

I have no idea about this but having campaign pages and Ballotpedia page with common word like MAGA may help track it

That would be a great idea for a specific .win site. I would volunteer to build and host something like that. Anyone can register a .win domain. Not sure if the mods would add it to the network, though.

I think all you have to do is submit your site to ballotpedia, but they generally discover you once you register as a candidate.

The GOP in CA is great for not supporting things it brings to the ballot so that they lose in the end. Gas tax repeal, etc. Watch them fuck up this recall petition opportunity against Newsom.

Yep, I'm in CA. The GOP doesn't do dick for people they don't control.
