Big week: day trip to Phoenix to record a 5-minute stump speech for the ABC News affiliate; online advertising targeted in Arizona starts on the Pajamas Media <http://pajamasmedia.com/> network of blogs (see the ad following my signature, below); an email blast (see the message following the online ad) to 30,000 people on an opt-in list of liberty-agenda advocates; an online survey tool goes live (more on that later); and, I booked production time for television commercials next week.
First, the survey. You can find it here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=947042343520 You're the first to see it, so I'd appreciate it if you gave me any feedback you've got, but didn't forward it to anyone. I want to fine-tune it a little, based on your feedback, but I will ask you to distribute it to your network shortly. This survey isn't like a horse-race poll - it's more about understanding what people think is important and why. Ultimately, I'm going to use this to promote my campaign in a variety of ways, both when it goes live and when we analyze the results. Last <http://www.schlosserforcongress.com/media-press/op-ed/060712_Entangling_tap e.php> week's op-ed column was on the cost of regulation and what I'd do about it, and it got picked up by The <http://www.jeffersonreview.com/> Jefferson Review online. Watch for this week's op-ed tomorrow. I'm glad that the ABC News recording made me write a 5-minute stump speech, because I'll be delivering it to the combined chambers of commerce of the district's biggest population center - Prescott, Prescott Valley, and Chino Valley - next week. I'll get that posted to the Web site in the next day or two, after I work out some technical glitch between .wav and .mp3.

C 2006, Schlosser for Congress Authorized and paid for by Schlosser for Congress, Scott Gude, Treasurer <http://www.schlosserforcongress.com/> I need to tell you about some exciting developments in Arizona <http://www.schlosserforcongress.com/> 's First Congressional District and seek your <http://www.schlosserforcongress.com/get_involved/default.php> support as an advocate of the liberty agenda. Arizona is fertile ground for Libertarian candidates. We have a heritage of independence and fair Congressional districts. Combined with a weak, non-resident Republican <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Renzi> incumbent in a plurality-Democratic district, and a splintered <http://www.mikecforcongress.com/press/pr071006.pdf> Democratic party led by a <http://www.ellensimonforcongress.com/> fatally wounded candidate, our race is emerging as one of the best opportunities in the country for Libertarians to make a decisive difference in the outcome. After more than a decade <http://www.schlosserforcongress.com/about/default.php> of managing national, state, and local political campaigns for candidates who share my dedication to freedom and responsibility, I <http://www.schlosserforcongress.com/media-press/media_speeches/default.php> started running for US Congress less than two months ago. Since then, we've enjoyed great successes: - We've broken AZ1 fund-raising <http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/can_detail/H6AZ01165/> records and earned <http://www.schlosserforcongress.com/media-press/news_coverage.php> favorable attention from local and national news media. - I qualified <http://www.silverbelt.com/articles/2006/07/06/news/news02.txt> for the ballot and attended the Libertarian National Convention, speaking in front of activists from around the nation. - We've established a strong presence in the district <http://www.azredistricting.org/final/cong_places_byplace.pdf> 's population centers and are constantly adding to our team of passionate supporters. - Targeted online advertising <http://pajamasmedia.com/> begins this week. - We're planning TV and radio advertising starting before the primary and continuing through the November election. Support from people like you is critical for us to extend our success. As an advocate of our shared beliefs in freedom and responsibility, you have the unique ability to support a campaign where we can have a tremendous impact. Begin by visiting www.SchlosserForCongress.com <http://www.schlosserforcongress.com/> . Direct your Libertarian friends there, too. Our Web site is generating support from around the country - indeed, around the world - in the form of links, blog mentions, media attention, email <http://www.schlosserforcongress.com/get_involved/default.php> subscriptions, publishing of op-ed <http://www.schlosserforcongress.com/media-press/op-ed/default.php> columns, and financial <http://www.schlosserforcongress.com/contribute.php> contributions. Those contributions <http://www.schlosserforcongress.com/contribute.php> are essential and affordable in this rural, sparsely populated district. We can buy TV, cable, and radio commercials for $5-10. Your contribution <http://www.schlosserforcongress.com/contribute.php> of $250, $100, or even $50 goes a long way in AZ1. In Jesse Ventura's 1998 Minnesota upset, voters chose the candidate who talked about issues while the R and the D eviscerated each other with personal attacks. In 2006, that upset will occur in Arizona <http://www.schlosserforcongress.com/index.php> 's First Congressional District. I've started the process. Now, my supporters and I need your help <http://www.schlosserforcongress.com/get_involved/default.php> to promote our campaign for freedom, responsibility, and accountability. We've got a great opportunity to promote the liberty agenda. With your help, I can show strongly in the surveys leading up to the primary on September 12th. In this year of dissatisfaction with the major-party incumbents, that will shine a national spotlight on the three-way race in AZ1. That creates a platform for a strong, credible Libertarian candidate to share our positive Libertarian message of freedom and responsibility with the entire country. Please take just a moment to demonstrate <http://www.schlosserforcongress.com/get_involved/default.php> your support for the ideals we share.
