Oh wow! He has an A+ rating from the NRA?!?! Well that changes everything!!

Except that it doesn't. You know who else has an A+ rating from the NRA? The governor of Montana, who just vetoed Constitutional Carry. You know who the NRA supported in the 2010 elections? 13 of Nancy Pelosi's "most protected" Democrats, along with the always-awesome Harry Reid.

Gee, that NRA rating means a lot!

Still in. 

Awaiting notification from Secretary of State if we made the ballot.  Calling today about the status.  Turned signatures in Dec 7 and heard nothing yet.  Videos in the making.  Cutting office and surgery schedule in half. Getting interns from KSU early January.  Need help with County Volunteers.  

I am still here Danny.  Sorry about the lull.  I had to fight to get enough signatures to make the ballot.  I turned in  1613 signatures to make the required 1000 for the ballot on December 7, 2011. that was not an easy task.  Everywhere I went, I was dismayed at the huge numbers of Republicans who admitted to me they are registered Republicans but are dumping the Party.  Headlines in the paper discuss how members of both parties are terminating their membership and becoming Independent.  If you remember, I ran as an Independent last election.  I learned quite a lesson about politics in Ohio.  The roadblocks to candidacy as an Independent or a third party candidate are monumental.  A year ago, only 15% of the registered voters had Republican Party affiliation.  22% of the voters declared themselves Democrats, but recent evidence indicates their numbers are dropping.  I was contacted by one person who did fail to get the required numbers of signatures and he threw his support behind me.  Once I surrendered my petitions to the Secretary of State, I started gearing up for the election.  Shortly thereafter, my wife was admitted to a hospital and she has been recovering and it took a lot of my time to be around when she needed me.  She is better now and I can resume my activities.  Over the holidays, I have been working on position videos and soon they will be published on the web site.  Thanks for your concern.  I am alive and well. Please don't give up the ship because we hit some bad weather for a time.   To be honest, with the holidays and the constant barrage of Presidential politics over the Republican Presidential race, there has been little interest in other elections.  With 2 months to go, I expect that to change.  We are getting requests to appear and the surveys are coming in daily.  Thanks for your input.  To win this election, I will need the Independents to step up.  The Republicans had the Primary elections split for a while and I was really worried that the Independents would not show up until May.  Now that the Primary is combined once again, it raises our chances.  I have a big following in 2nd Amendment Supporters.  In the last 2 years, I have attended 16 gun shows to show my support for the right of Ameericans to bear arms.  I am one of those people who clings to my guns and my bible.  I was dismayed that the only thing that the Republicans and Democrats could agree upon was the NDAA which Obbama signed into law "with reservations."  That is to placate the 2nd Amendment Supporters.  HHis real aim is to take over the weapons from private citizens just like the National Socialists did in Germany.  In the past 2 years I never saw another candidate at a gun show.  There is a lot of lip service being paid to the 2nd Amendment, but this candidate is rock solid.  Once the election fever starts to rise, I will be there right with you, Danny.  There are a lot of people who have nevver had the courage to place their name on a ballot, but spend a lot of time criticizing those that do.  join the campaign.  Help us raise the money we need to get our message out to those that still havee not heard of me.  Mike Pryce
