 We can't outspend Jesse Jackson, Jr. But we can outsmart him. Jesse Jackson, Jr. has millions of dollars at his disposal and access to daddy's high-powered backers. JJJ receives hundreds of thousands of dollars in PACs.* So what? The Stephanie Kennedy Sailor campaign team doesn't let our $0 budget get in the way of great ideas. With brilliant ideas, we always win. Okay, maybe the only thing JJJ will win is a car race. We can't stand up against his 5 BMWs. But if we had just one BMW, we'd surely beat him. Anyway, there are many reasons why this isn't politics as usual. Here's what makes the Stephanie Kennedy Sailor campaign so revolutionary: -- With the web as Stephanie's war chest, the cyber campaign is run on $0. -- The congressional website is written, designed, and coded by the candidate herself. -- Despite her Kennedy name, Stephanie Kennedy Sailor is not a career politician. She's an everyday citizen -- just like you. -- Speaking of her name, "Kennedy" is her nickname. All her campaign materials incorporate her nickname. (See FAQ for more). -- Nowhere on her website, in her ads, or fliers, does Stephanie mention her political party. This reinforces that it's the ideas that count, not the party label. -- Stephanie Kennedy Sailor isn't the typical candidate. She's young (31), female (obviously), pro-gun, and not a lawyer. -- Stephanie doesn't accept campaign contributions. Instead, she encourages donors to contribute towards The Jessica Fund. -- If elected, Stephanie plans to give her Congressional paycheck back to the people. -- If elected, Stephanie aims to maintain her job in the private sector, while serving as Congresswoman. An unrealistic goal? Perhaps. But with today's technology, a telecommuting/remote elected official isn't out of the question. -- Stephanie doesn't want to get into office to increase government's power, but to reduce it. She seeks to trim the Leviathan State, giving power back to the people. -------------------------- *Shakedown: Exposing the Real Jesse Jackson, Kenneth R.
