Presidential Primaries (April 22, 2008)
Rep. Ron Paul (Republican)
Dr. Paul is a strict constitutionalist and a libertarian-leaning Republican from Texas. Dr. Paul's #1 priority entering the presidency is to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq, Afghanistan and other locations. He also pledges to practice a responsible foreign policy that truly defends this country, reduce the size and power of federal government, and attempt to abolish the IRS, income tax and Federal Reserve system of taxation. His 20-year congressional voting record consistently supports these claims.
TAKE ACTION! Support Congressman Paul by becoming a Precinct Leader. As a Precinct Leader, your goal is to win Dr. Paul a victory in your precinct, by identifying supporters, winning a few undecided voters, and reminding them get to the polls on Election Day. Go to voters.ronpaul2008.com to sign up. Also, find your local meetup at www.meetup.com. This is a closed primary. To vote for Paul, you must register Republican by March 24.
Sen. Mike Gravel (Democrat)
The former Alaska Senator Gravel is a strong critic of the Bush administration as well as his own Democratic Party. He advocates rapid withdrawl of U.S. forces from Iraq, an initiative to give Americans more power over legislation, and a replacement of the IRS and income tax with a FairTax.

Cynthia McKinney (Green)
Former Georgia Democratic Congresswoman from McKinney has been one of the boldest critics of the Bush administration. She strongly opposes aggressive foreign policy, introduced articles of impeachment against Bush and Cheney in 2002, has sought investigations of intelligence agencies, and calls for a criminal investigation into the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, an attack for which the FBI is not charging Osama bin Laden.
TAKE ACTION! Sign up to support Cynthia though her volunteer form at www.runcynthiarun.org.
Congressional District 16 (November 4, 2008)
John Murphy (Green)
Murphy ran for Congress in 2006 as an independent with the endorsement of 2 county level Green Parties, 2 county level Libertarian Parties, The Reform Party of PA and The New American Independent Party of PA. He says that he would focus on delivering secure, sustainable jobs to the people of the 16th District and the nation, eliminating the federal income tax for Americans making less than $100,000 a year, supporting universal single-payer health care, demanding the immediate return of our troops from Iraq and Afghanistan and the other 127 nations where they are stationed, and cutting the Pentagon budget in half thereby beginning to pay down our nearly 10 trillion dollar national debt. Murphy also calls for the immediate repeal of The USA Patriot Act, The Military Commissions Act and The Protect America Act. He says, "I will offer the voters in the 16th District the ability to take back the Congress from corporate America. I will take no corporate money nor any money from special interest groups".
