This Week's Ten Buck Friday Winner is Chip Cravaack

Please support Chip Cravaack for Congress and help unseat an eighteen-term incumbent, Rep. Jim Oberstar(D-MN).   RightKlik has this video posted produced by Cravaack for Congress in order to introduce this fine candidate:



No Sheeples Here has a fine write up on benefits to removing Oberstar from Congress:

Rep. Oberstar is now in a congressional caucus made up of extreme liberals like Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Steny Hoyer (D-MD), Charles Rangel (D-NY) and Barney Frank (D-MA). These people are hardcore leftists who bear no resemblance to Hubert H. Humphrey or Henry (“Scoop”) Jackson. Today’s elected Democrats stand for very different things than their predecessors, and unfortunately Rep. Oberstar has moved to the left with them. Let’s take a look at Oberstar’s record to see how he fits the Eighth Congressional District.

Despite Congressman Oberstar’s assurances that there would be no taxpayer funding of abortion under Obamacare, it was reported that the President approved $160 million for the state of Pennsylvania to implement a new insurance program that will cover abortions.

Let's free Mr Oberstar to fulfill his dream of spending 10 years in Paris.   Sigh - the pompous Oberstar longs for the oysters of Normandy, the most delicious in the world n'est ce pas.  The last thing the country needs is another 2 years of Oberstar in Congress dining on French oysters while we pick up the tab.

Help Send Chip Cravaack to Congress instead

Ten Buck Fridays: The winner is Van Irion

Right Klik has the winner of this week's 10 Buck Friday poll and offers a bit of background information on Van Irion the candidate for Tennessee's 3rd Congressional District:

Van Irion has been married for 14 years, and he and his wife have two young daughters. A patent and Constitutional attorney with his own law firm, he's admitted to practice law before the U.S. Supreme Court. He has handled several Constitutional cases pro bono, including Obamacare Class Action.

Van is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, having served in Operation Desert Shield as an Air Traffic Controller. Van has a biochemistry degree from the University of California and founded a biotech company to research treatments for stroke and acute injury. He served many years as a volunteer fire fighter and EMT.

Van is currently seeking to serve the public again as the U.S. Congressman for Tennessee’s 3rd Congressional District.

 Van Irion's donation page

Please be sure to note Ten Buck Fridays on the donation form:

From a profile piece on The Daily Caller Van Irion explains why he carries a pitchfork to campaign events:

Where Van Irion goes, so does his pitchfork.

The Republican congressional candidate — and avid Tea Party supporter — running for east Tennessee’s 3rd District seat keeps the farm tool at his side, whether he’s giving speeches or glad handling constituents, as a reminder of what his candidacy is about. Irion, 42, practices civil law in Knoxville and is hardly a Tennessee farmer, but he said his campaign prop “represents the angry mob.”

“In these parts farmers use pitchforks to clean their manure out of their stalls,” he explained during an interview with The Daily Caller. “And I tell people everywhere I go that I’m gonna take the pitchfork to the House floor and clean the manure out of the Capitol.”

Anyone willing to clean the manure out of the Capitol and bring a lawsuit against ObamaCare has my support.

Pelosi Counting on YOU to Insure Dems Control the House

After her week-long hissy fit over Press Secretary Baghdad Bob's statement that the House was "in play" this November, Pelosi ups the ante with a guarantee Democrats will control the House after November.   She has a secret weapon up her sleeve - YOU

Here is what will happen in November. Democrats will keep control of the House. Period.

While some Washington pundits are claiming that Republicans have the momentum, I remain more confident in our chances for victory as long as we have our secret weapon -- you.

Next Sunday, July 25th, marks 100 days from the fall elections. I have set a goal of raising $1 Million in grassroots contributions to send a powerful message to the media and to the world that we will keep control of the House and we will continue America's New Direction!

Please stand with me to send an overwhelming message of grassroots strength. If you contribute today, you will receive a special invitation to join me on our National Campaign Kickoff Conference Call.

 Well who doesn't want that special invitation to join her conference call?  That this week's hissy fit is tied to a giant grassroots fundraising effort calls into question the well-publicized hysteria over Gibb's seemingly obvious statement of fact.  Of course there are enough seats in play for Democrats to lose the House.  The question was whether the Democrats' disillusioned base truly understood the stakes.  They do now, don't they?  I guess we will see whether or not the base is as unenthusiastic as we've been told repeatedly they are.

Of course setting a goal of $1,000,000 to send a "powerful message to the media and to the world that we will keep control of the House and we will continue America's New Direction" is not much of a goal.  If I recall correctly Scott Brown far exceeded his 24 hour goal of $500,000 capitalizing on David Gergen's rhetorical gift to the campaign.  Who knew the words "Ted Kennedy's Seat," would prove to be so lucrative? Was Gibbs' gift to the House Democrats his rare statement of obvious fact?  Somehow I doubt it but the Democrats certainly did their level best to call as much attention to the statement as they could.  


Fortunately conservative bloggers have antidote to Pelosi's guarantee she will keep her gavel and the same secret weapon -YOU.    "Ten Buck Fridays" channels grassroot support to the many fine candidates who can help wrestle Pelosi's gavel from her grip:

Each week, TBF participants are strongly encouraged (but not required) to rally behind the deserving conservative Republican who wins the poll...to provide that candidate with a substantial money bomb.

You'll notice there's no middleman in this process. Your money goes exactly where you want it to go. Contributors send their investment directly to the candidates.

Participants put the words "Ten Buck Fridays" in the online donation form so that recipients know what's happening and so that donation totals can be determined. As Lilac Sunday has noted, the "occupation" line on the online donation form is a handy place to indicate that you're a Ten Buck Fridays participant.

TBF participants are unified by the desire to support conservatives who need an extra boost, and we're sending a powerful message of encouragement to those who share our cherished values. As we shout together, our voices will be heard.

I will link the winner of this week's Ten Buck Friday poll tomorrow after the winner is announced.   Let's make sure Speaker Pelosi is relieved of her duties in November and elect strong conservative candidates in the process.
