iePolitics: It is that time of year again

This is one of those posts I write with great trepidation but I am apparently a glutton for punishment.  Announcements are already being made.  Attack ads are already being planned.  Dirty campaign tricks are already being discussed.  Fundraising . . . well that has no beginning and no END!  So, with the primary about a year away, it is time to start running political ads.  It’s too early for me to solicit them, but any candidate is welcome to submit them and I will post as I have time.  Also, any campaign that wants its own log-in just needs to ask.

I’ve been on the Fred Karger for President mailing list for some time now.   He is an openly gay Republican, which is unusual as half the ranking male members of the party are closeted gays, living a double life because of their fear of the extreme right.  Here is a little more information on Karger.

iePolitics: It’s Official

This has been a while in the making because my life was such a mess for so long, but I’m returning as editor of the San Bernardino County Federation of Republican Women newsletter.  This time around I am going to make it less work for myself and limit the number of articles accepted to 16 with a limit of 500 words each.  I want to get a May newsletter out in the next week, so the first 16 Republicans who send me articles will be included.  The newsletter will be sent to our 10,000+ data base as well as posted online.
