[Lnc-business] Request for co-sponsors for motion to support campaign of Joe Buchman

Here is more shared from Dr. Buchman - (no other candidate has been so
proactive in getting me information to support their cause - motivated
candidate!!!)

Made the WASHINGTON TIMES today - just a mention, but it will be more.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jul/12/health-
care-debated-as-candidates-vie-to-replace-c/

The feedback on the KUTV Facebook page is extraordinary and still coming in
as this video is shared - I'd encourage you to go there not only to watch
the video, but also to read at least a few random comments, there are over
650.  None were negative about me and unlike the other old party Luddites,
I've responded to every post that mentioned me with an answer to their
question and/or a link to my campaign website.

(Speaking of Luddites, I'm just off an hour-long interview with
candidates.vote, which IS conducting polls including me and will become, I
think a more important candidate venue in 2018; I am scheduled for another
radio interview on Saturday, and as you know I've declared seeking the
Libertarian Party nomination for this office in 2018 as well -- this is a
16 month long campaign with TWO opportunities for voters to vote.)

Here's a collection of some of my favorites from KUTV's site:

Joe Buchman you've got my vote.



Who is winning - Joe, imo.



Joe 2020 - for President



I'm really glad you were invited! It was great to hear your thoughts.



Joe Buchman wins. He's the smartest and most principled here and would send
a great message to Washington!



I watched the debate, and it was great to see someone consistently
supporting the rights and freedom our nation was founded on!



if everything was decided on who won the debate, you'd be Chaffetz's
replacement. That's not just my opinion, my Democrat wife who is very loyal
to her party, is going to vote for you. Part of the reason is she thinks
their candidate is an idiot, but she normally would've voted D regardless.



I really want to thank you for representing Libertarianism so well. You did
fucking great, well spoken, great answers. In the comments of the KUTV live
stream I watched you earn votes. Even democrats bitching about everyone,
saying you were the best on stage. 4 hours preparation? You're a
Libertarian, you got this!



You owned the stage buddy. Your answer on health care was dead on. This
comes from someone who's in laws are all doctors and I've listened to their
perspectives for years. You got the most smiles, hearts, and thumbs up with
your answer to energy. Clearly the man with the most knowledge and creative
ideas. The others were stooges.



Joe wins because we each own ourselves.



Joe Buchman is the only candidate on that stage who isn't regurgitating the
same crap that we have heard for years and have seen doesn't work



If I still lived in Utah, I would be proud to vote for Joe Buchman. He gave
the best answers and showed that he's a real person. Voters need to stop
voting for elephants and donkeys and vote for honest people. Joe would be a
great congressman. #JoeTheGuyRunning4Congress



Two candidates up there have already received their party's nomination and
Joe Buchman is one. I've been really impressed with him.



There's only one candidate who supports limited government, Libertarian Joe
Buchman. Vote Buchman for change.



Wow. Buchman read my mind. I was going to ask, "what is a tax increase?"
Because we have definitely seen all sorts of tax impact on citizens. ACA
was a tax reform. Taxation is constantly reformed, not only legislatively
but also through regulatory measures. Lower rate applied to a higher base
means you can actually pay more than a higher rate on a lower base. There
are all kinds of tricky ways we pay more without "raising taxes" in a way
we would more easily recognize. If you look at Provo City, you might see
some examples.



Matt Styles - In the closed GOP primary, you only vote between three of the
five candidates. Of those three, Herrod for Congress impressed me the most.
I appreciate the contributions Joe Buchman brought to the debate tonight,
also. He represented the Libertarian party well; not as a "fringe"
candidate like so many might think when they think third party.



of everyone on the stage, Joe would get my vote Utah Goes to L - the Joe
Buchman for Third District Page



Buchman will develop the best track record. Just gotta give liberty a chance



You can't legislate morality. Vote for Buchman. Personal and economic
freedom for all



Only one candidate up there is for Prosperity, liberty, and free markets. I
support Joe Buchman



End the drug war. That's a true fiscal conservative position



Joe killed it!



Get government out of the market



Joe = honesty

>> Joe has just been scheduled as the sole guest for the first hour of Coast
>> to Coast AM, a national networked late-night radio talk show with an
>> estimated *2.5 million listeners*, for *Saturday** evening, July 29th,
>> 10:05PM to 11:00PM Pacific time*.  Past show hosts Art Bell and Rollye
>> James were self-identified Libertarians, and past guests have included
>> Judge Jim Gray, Michael Badnarik, Aaron Russo, Harry Browne, Andre Marrou
>> and Dr. Buchman himself (in 2008, when he last ran for the US Congress).
>>
>>
>> See: http://www.coasttocoastam.com/search/?query=libertarian
>>
>>
>>
>> Joe will be discussing his campaign for the US Congress, his platform as
>> an expression of the NAP and Self-Ownership paradigms, will be directing
>> listeners to his website and will be requesting donations.  The Coast to
>> Coast website will also provide a link to his campaign site -
>> www.GotoL.vote
>>
>>
>>
>> This is a request for national party funding for this singularly
>> important Special Election campaign.
>>
>>
>>
>> The resignation of Representative Chaffetz has already generated
>> significant national media attention, and this race is likely to continue
>> to generate national media coverage as the replacement of Congressman
>> Chaffetz will reflect, to some degree, a measure of voter confidence in the
>> Trump administration.
>>
>>
>>
>> The Libertarian Party nationally will benefit from this election, the
>> last of 2017 to include a Libertarian candidate for federal office.
>>
>>
>>
>> If a funding agreement can be reached prior to the show, Dr. Buchman
>> would then appeal to Coast to Coast listeners with a promise that any
>> donations received during the show will be matched dollar-for-dollar.  The
>> show will be replayed and will also be available as a download from the
>> network website.
>>
>>
>>
>> Joe has been interviewed by three local papers (the Salt Lake Tribune,
>> Deseret News and City Weekly) and by KSL Radio's Doug Wright.
>>
>>
>>
>> That 9 minute radio interview can be found at:
>>
>>
>>
>> https://www.ksl.com/?nid=1388&a=11898
>>
>>
>>
>> Bottom line: Joe is experienced with media interviews, had a prior career
>> in radio (including working with Bill Redpath at WTTS radio in the 1970s),
>> is passionate about both Libertarian political pragmatism and philosophy, *and
>> is currently scheduled for one of the most visible media appearances by any
>> Libertarian Candidate this month* (and perhaps for the remainder of this
>> year).
>>
>>
>>
>> This special election creates something of a special case for funding; an
>> amount equivalent to that provided to the recent candidate in Montana would
>> seem equitable.
>>
>>
>>
>> With gratitude for your consideration of this request,
>>
>>
>>
>> Joe
>>
>>
>>
>> PS If you do choose to listen to the KSL interview and/or to review the
>> website and links to the print interviews there; ALL feedback, suggestions
>> for improvement are also welcomed.
