Thanks for the Support!

I've gotten some positive telephone calls and e-mails regarding the article in Sunday's News-Topic, wherein I reiterated my stand against incentives, especially in light of the bonuses paid out to Jeff Cook and other executives at Furniture Brands. Thanks for letting me know some of you agree with me.

I'm Not Dead Yet

I'm still plugging away, trying to advocate and vote for what's right. I appreciate those of you who have been checking in here and at www.electtjrohr.com. I welcome any e-mails asking about the issues.

A Creepy Story and a Funny Comment

Creepy Story:

One of my supporters went to Hudson Town Hall to vote, whereupon someone came up to her, handed her some literature, and said, "I'm T.J. Rohr and I'd appreciate your vote." She said, "No, you're not." He said "Sh. They don't know that," perhaps referring to the other pollworkers.

The guy wasn't me. I didn't have anyone (that I knew of!) working Hudson Town Hall at that time.

Funny Comment:

Another supporter came up to me today and said, "You got 2,300+ votes?!? That's about 2,000 more than I expected you to get." I wasn't sure if that was a compliment or not!

I love politics. :)

Oh, well.

Thanks to all the folks who worked the polls for me today. It was a lot of fun. I ended up with 8% of the vote, and met a bunch of nice people. Congrats to Edgar Starnes, who beat me and John Forlines. I'll post some cellphone pix and more thanks later.

VOTE Tomorrow!

We're at the finish line. Help me cross it ahead of my opponents! Don't forget to vote tomorrow, for both me and Mike. On the ballot, it's easy to find me: on the front, lower right hand corner. And thanks for your support.

"What are you going to get for us?"

I get this question a lot. My basic answer is, I'm not running to "get stuff" for the people of the 87th. That kind of politics is what has gotten us into the mess we're in, on both the state and federal level of government. It leads to wasteful pork barrel spending and corruption.

I'm running to let you keep what you've earned. I'm running for you to keep your right to express yourself, the fruits of your labor, your right to bear arms, your right to privacy, and your land. I'm running to help you keep your freedom, your property, and your life.

Munger 'n' Me, Part Deux

Dr. Munger, Libertarian gubernatorial candidate, will be doing a Murphy-to-Manteo run leading up to the election on Tuesday, and he'll be in our very own Caldwell County on Friday! He and I will be at Piccolo's in downtown Lenoir Friday at 6:30 pm. Please come meet him and me as we head into the final stages of what I hope and expect, with your help, will be an historic election on Tuesday.

Please volunteer and contribute if you can!
