Through the 84 days remaining it will be my &#8220;campaign&#8221; diary. If you check the link you will find at the bottom of it all the posts since 2006 that I&#8217;ve tucked there. Its 20 posts times 63 or just under 1260 days of the roughly 5,840 days since 2006.<\/p>\n<p>I got a lot of hits on my posts yesterday 10,000 page views. If they grow it will be a sign that my blog is being noticed but that high number may simply be an anomaly. I haven&#8217;t figured out how to check stats on visits to www.weltyforcongress.com site. My Spotify podcast site is getting noticed by its no great shakes yet. <\/p>\n<p>I am still a one man band campaign although today I added two more helpers. One is taking on the leadership of my northern St.Louis County campaign. I sent him off with my petitions to pass around starting in Ely. BUT NOTE. After thinking about what I would have to do to personally find 1,000 signatures I&#8217;ve decided to ease off on that effort. I&#8217;ll still do it but I expect to drive down to St. Paul with a $300.00 check to add my name to the ballot. My northern friend thinks asking for petition signers will help him approach people&#8230;..and I gave him lots of my cards to pass out and my piece on the Environment. A second helper said he&#8217;d pass them out at <a href=\"https:\/\/duluthdylanfest.com\/duluth-dylan-fest-2022\/\">Dylan Fest in Duluth<\/a>. I will join him. I think my campaign will be appreciated by folks to love Dylan&#8217;s music. I&#8217;m one of them &#8220;How many roads must a man walk down, Before you call him a man?  Damn good question for Republicans today if you ask me.<\/p>\n<p>My internet work is a constant. For instance, I discovered one of my recent podcasts got switched and had to revert it back to the story under its title on Spotify. <a href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/dashboard\/episode\/e1hefrh\">No Business like snow business<\/a> had 13 listeners but it was actually my first podcast with my grandson called Ya Wanna Fight. I&#8217;ve fixed it but I don&#8217;t know where the first one is.<\/p>\n<p>So my petitioning has been downgraded and I&#8217;ve got to make use of the next two weeks to work on making my campaign viral.  I also have to prepare for my first fundraising letter. If it goes well I&#8217;ll try to get all of Duluth covered and then all 20 or so counties of the 8th District in turn; hopefully before the Primary.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry fussy people&#8230;..no time to proof read this.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I&#8217;ve had a chat with my partner and she&#8217;s cool with me spending a little more than I thought I was going to be able to do&#8230;&#8230;It won&#8217;t be a lot more but it will be enough until the Koch brothers come in and corrupt me&#8230;..For my thoughts on the Kochs look <a href=\"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/?s=Koch+brothers\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every few weeks or months since I began this blog I put in diary entries in a category simply called Harry&#8217;s Diary.
