In 2018 this silly little advert I put together on Facebook actually generated $150 dollars in online donations.
DONATE to A Republican challenging a Trumplican
Why throw good money after …… Harry Welty?
You should know. You are my eight loyal readers. Why do you come here except to see what I have to say? I should be saying these things in Congress. You know Pete Stauber won’t. And I’ll tell you Quinn Nystrom, bless her insulin providing heart, won’t either.
Even if I stand little chance of defeating Pete Stauber no one will hold him to account as I have and will continue to do through the August 11th primary. For any of you who have been horrified by America under Donald Trump that ought to be worth a little thank you.
And on my campaign webpage I have outlined my long record of attacks on Donald Trump. Believe it or not it goes back 28 years to my first run for Congress in 1992.
If you live in Duluth and have driven by my snow sculptures and if they made you smile consider that. If you scroll down the page above you will see the stories behind the last four years worth of anti-Trump snow sculptures. That ought to be worth a thank you.
This campaign is mostly a one-man operation but I have poured four-years-worth of work holding Donald Trump to account into it. And my daughter is helping put together a fun little music video which I can’t wait to share. And I will have put about $1,000 of miscellaneous expenses into it starting with my $300.00 filing fee. And I’m not just spending it on me. I sent George Conway’s LincolnProject $50 in thanks for their marvelous video dissections of Donald Trump. Those of us who want to make America sane again need to stick together.
Facebook is the only place to campaign and I spent the last two campaigns figuring out how to use it. A mere $10 let’s me get in front of 700 Facebook users. With Facebook I can target the other half of the Congressional District where Duluth’s media doesn’t reach. I don’t need Pete Stauber’s million dollars from dark money contributors to reach people who disapprove of his toadying to Donald Trump. Even two years ago without doing much of anything I got 10 percent of the Republican vote. Imagine what people would say if I got 25% or more. It would certainly ding a Trumplican before he went on to the General election.
I have forty five days to reach voters who have just started sending in their mail-in ballots. Help me reach them before they put Pete Stauber’s name on their ballot. Even Democrats could vote for me because Quinn Nystrom is unopposed and will be on the November ballot automatically.
Your champion,
Harry Robb Welty
The most entertaining and enduring politician in Duluth’s history……..and a pretty prophetic one as well.
