I need your help in this fight

2008 August 9

On Wednesday i sat down with the republican candidate running for the U.S. Congress for the 5th district in Missouri. His name is Jacob Turk.

I gotta say that I have met many politicians and can’t stand most. I think if you look back at the archives on this blog you’ll agree that I take a rather stand off ish approach to politics and especially politicians. Mr. Turk is unlike many I’ve met. He is an honest to God good man, and could help actually get things done for the 5th District.

The incumbent Emanuel Clever II, is not only the former mayor of Kansas City, but has most big money, and public media outlets paid off to make himself look good. He even has a deal with Republican Missouri Senator Kit Bond. (notice Kit never endorses Clever, but also never endorses anyone run against him.) The obstacles to get a good man into Washington are great.

As much as I like Turk, he is not very internet savvy or You Tube savvy. So I’m helping him get it together!!

I NEED YOUR HELP! I need 2 things:

1. Help me with questions. what are some things you want to ask someone running for congress.

2. I need you to post the interview with him either on your blog, or e-mail the link to people who live in Kansas City Missouri.

I’m excited to see what happens, and excited to see how much of a help I can be to this guy, because he is a wonderful, honest, and God fearing man.

so help me!

    Zach, one of the biggest problems we face is the loss of jobs, not only due to illegal immigration, but from Nafta and our extremely high taxes. Our companies are “leaving” but who is coming in?

    We need breaks for businesses. We are becoming a service-industry driven country and overall, it’s not healthy for our economy.

    How can we not let our desire for all men and women to pursue happiness not turn into political correctness and socialism. What changes can he see that we need as a country.

    While I can’t vote for this man, once he or his opponent is in office, my life can be effected.

    I found at the last minute a VERY sound minded young black man Daniel Baker was running against J Turk. Why is he not a better choice, a black conservative running against a black liberal? He has been a volunteer in Alan Keyes & other conservatives races with great success & a degree in political science… why does Jacob T think he would be better for the black community??
