BJ Lawson at the Rally for the Republic

September 11, 2008

While at the Rally for the Republic, I got the chance to meet BJ Lawson, the republican nominee for North Carolina’s 4th District. I’ve followed his campaign online for sometime now. I’ve written about him previously here, here and here. Face to face, BJ is just like he is cyberspace: down to earth, bright and personable. But more importantly, he understands the challenges our country is facing, and bases his political principles on the Constitution. I admire his unflinching verve in taking on the 22-year democratic incumbent, David Price, in a mostly democratic state. However, BJ isn’t running a partisan campaign, which is drawing him significant support from both sides. In fact, I think he actually has a pretty good shot at winning. David Price represents the status quo, while BJ challenges it at its core—something the majority of Americans are hungry for during these unsettling times.

His supporters are organizing a money bomb for BJ on Sep 17th at LawsonLibertyFund.com. They’re asking for patriotically inspired pledges of $17.76. So for the price of a DVD, you can make a stand for liberty (and forgo having to peel off those annoying, impossible-to-remove, sticky, plastic security seals that hold the dang DVD case shut).
