After raising or\u00c2\u00a0spending $5,000\u00c2\u00a0congressional candidates\u00c2\u00a0have fifteen days to disclose\u00c2\u00a0their financial conflicts of interest to the Clerk of the House of Representatives.\u00c2\u00a0I just\u00c2\u00a0deposited $2,500 into the bank so I’ve crossed that threshold.<\/p>\n
Would that I could deposit $200,000. It would help\u00c2\u00a0boost my Quixotic campaign to a new level. Fortunately Chris will be getting my first serious fundraising letter out in the\u00c2\u00a0next week or so and place some radio ads. he might even be able to get a couple of lawnsigns up.<\/p>\n
Mel will order a\u00c2\u00a0some magnetic signs for my car which I will put to good use when I get back from Denmark. I’ll be resting while\u00c2\u00a0our Congressman\u00c2\u00a0are having anxiety attacks about getting their do nothing 109th Congress over with. I know\u00c2\u00a0they are eager to get back to their districts to talk about all their accomplishments.<\/p>\n
I hope that in my absence Mel and Chris feel free to kvetch about the hassles I’ve left them with and share some of their opinions. I hope they have some outlandish ones to keep readers coming back. To the extent I can find the time and internet access I’ll\u00c2\u00a0make a few appearances myself. Maybe I’ll even upload a photo of the little mermaid<\/em> in Tivoli. She’s as slippery as Grams and Oberstar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After raising or\u00c2\u00a0spending $5,000\u00c2\u00a0congressional candidates\u00c2\u00a0have fifteen days to disclose\u00c2\u00a0their financial conflicts of interest to the Clerk of the House of Representatives.\u00c2\u00a0I just\u00c2\u00a0deposited $2,500 into…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-645","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-harrys-diary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=645"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
