EDITOR OF REDSTATE

Joe the Plumber Will be at the RedState Gathering. Will You?

RESIZE: AAA

Talk about a guy in the right place at the right time. An American in fly over country just happened to get caught on tape asking a question about tax policy on small businesses to then candidate Barack Obama. Without a teleprompter to help him, Barack Obama spoke to the Ohio plumber off the cuff and from his heart.

Candidate Obama said, “When you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

The question and the comeback made Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher a household name as “Joe the Plumber.”

He’s now a candidate for Congress in Ohio. He’ll be at the RedState Gathering in Jacksonville, FL. The Gathering takes place August 2nd to August 5th. Joe and I would love to see you there, but time is running out. We’re about a week away from winding down registration.

If you want to be a part of the RedState Gathering, go to http://www.redstategathering.com and register now.

I hope I’ll see you there.

    Nobody can forget Joe the Plumber!

    It’s great to hear what he’s doing, and I wish him the very best in his run for Congress.

    of getting behind candidates like Joe the Plumber. To me, this is like the liberal housewife of some shooting victim deciding to run for office on the sole issue of taking guns away from people. We have to do better than this.

    He had the guts to tell candidate Obama what he thought 2010 and the guts to run for Congress against an entrenched entitled incumbent Marcy Kaptur, in office since 1983.

    When Scott Brown ran in a special against Martha Coakley MA voters were excited that they had a choice a real choice January 2011. Al those years of Ted Kennedy deprived them of a fresh face with guts. and a following. Its much like that in the CD in Ohio.

    Shining the light on Sam’s’ limited government issues, fixing the broken finance system and US debt all need to be front and center and not taken for granted as inevitable.

    He has quite an agenda to take to voters that they have not heard in a long time.
    Sam is a winner!
