This one is coming sooner than later as a result of DC’s actions over the last few weeks. It seems they are now in high gear to get the Healthcare bill passed not to mention the horrendous new Omnibus bill that just went through (can only hope the Pres has the sense to veto it), then there is Cap & Trade on the horizon along with many others.

So we have established what an ambush is, if you forgot go back to the Philosophy page and read up. Are you planning on running for office? Do you know someone planning to run for office? If so, this will be tough for many because of campaign funding issues,...

you must start campaigning NOW.

Whether you are planning on running or you know someone that will be where you will be there working on the campaign, support etc you must start asap. The individuals in DC know their political days are numbered, so they are now trying to ram as many bills they can down Americas “throat” as possible. Don’t forget we are hearing repeatedly now of the amount of pork being jammed into these bills and also about deals being made left and right on both sides. Don’t be fooled by sitting politicians and those announcing they won’t be running again, those they are doing favors for and providing funding for could very well have positions waiting for them in the private sector.

DC is focused right now on getting their bills through and it will continue after the holiday break because they will be on a roll. This is your opportunity to ambush them and start campaigning. They will be caught off guard and more than likely not take any new candidates seriously, remember they have contempt for you and are not listening to Americans that are speaking up. What was is Mrs. Pelosi called you... astroturf? That’s okay fact is you have time on your side to win voters over while they continue to give America the shaft! This is to your advantage because all the news and attention will be on the bills. Do you think its better to capture angry voters months after horrible bills are passed or to pursue them when the anger is fresh in their minds? Go after those voters NOW, because if you wait those in DC will work their magic and do what they can to convince the voters they did it for their best interests, the political spin will come out of the woodwork. If you or your candidate are strapped for funds take a page from folks like Peter Schiff who have had online web funding events called “money bombs”. Network with people you may find individuals who can cut deals for signs posters, banners etc. or those who will volunteer and start working and spreading the word. The sooner you make you mark in the political arena the better, and possibly the financial support will come too. The wealthy in the US are being targeted as the ones to fund DC’s out of control spending, there will be more than a few prepared to back a new candidate.. go find them NOW!

No one in DC will be prepared to fight an election that is practically a year away. Start gathering the signatures you need to get on the ballot for the primaries NOW. Yes, it’s a bad time of year to do this but time is not on your side or those you know who will be running when the special interest groups step in. Don’t forget you/ your candidate will be running against people with a lot of money and resources (remember its one of the reasons the bills have the amount of pork in them). The sooner new candidates act the sooner they can capture voters and rest assured those that you or your candidate will be running against will not be happy. It’s the last thing they need right now is hearing that people are already campaigning against them. Use the internet to your advantage there are many inexpensive and free services available.

You can get a domain name for a few dollars now where many of the sites provide free web space for start up websites. Website development software is getting more and more easier to use and there is probably a youngster in your circle of connections that can put a site together for you easily. Create your own videos and post them on popular video, social and networking sites. Put a link to that video in your signature in emails or if you’re a member of discussion boards many have space available for signatures after you post. Have a friend that is in marketing or sales ask them what angles to use, campaigning is selling..

Do you drive a lot or have friends that do a lot of driving that will support a campaign? Get a decal made for car windows. You have probably lost count of all the cars and trucks you have seen where something was written across the back window. Use your imagination of anything and everything possible to get the word out that you are going after so and so’s seat. Literally start beating the street, carrying a sign that your running or that your in support of someone that is running for office. The key goal here is to catch politicians off guard, who in their right mind campaigns during the holidays or a year away from midterms, primaries and general elections! Tap every resource possible in your community and network of contacts but again this cannot be stressed enough you or that person you know planning on running for office must start right now there are no excuses.

So what are you waiting for get on the phone start making calls, start emailing people, post your platform on whatever discussion/forums you are a member of etc. Start your campaign ambush TODAY!
