CAMPAIGN FINANCE
How YOU can Contribute to
a Campaign for "Liberty Under God "

But I am not accepting any campaign contributions.*

Here's why:

Campaign dollars buy lots of annoying signs to clutter up the highways, and a little over-priced exposure on TV and radio, which consists only of 4-second sound bites. Campaigns cost millions of dollars because of the price of displaying images and symbols on television. These rapid-fire media blasts have little substance, and have little educational value, but they cost a lot of money. Direct mail pieces get thrown out with other junk mail. None of this accomplishes what I want to accomplish: get Americans to do some serious thinking about the principle that made America great: "Liberty Under God." I want them to be able to find resources to answer socialist objections to the idea of Liberty Under God.

I am therefore conducting a "stealth e-Campaign" which requires no campaign expenditures (except the "KevinCraig.US" domain name).

I'm asking you to email everyone you know and tell them you believe "Liberty Under God " is the principle that made America great, and you're going to send a message to the incumbent that he needs to become a leader and not a follower. If your friends don't have email, write them a personal letter, invest 37¢, and mail it off through the US Postal Service. Or give them a phone call.

Here are the zipcodes
of voters in Missouri's 7th Congressional District.

Your email costs me nothing. An email from you is respected -- unlike slick but impersonal bulk rate mailings from a well-funded campaign. Your friends will think about the idea of "Liberty Under God " because you asked them to. They know you. They respect you.

Mathematics is Our Friend

If 50 people read this website and send a letter or email to 50 people urging them to support "Liberty Under God," who send it to 50 people who in turn send it to 50 people who send it to 50 people, 312 million people will get this message! There are less than one million people in this congressional district, and less than half of them vote.

Can you send an email to everyone in your address book or Rolodex? You can ask your friends who don't even live in Missouri to take a stand in defense of "Liberty Under God " by writing to people they know who live and vote in Missouri's 7th district. Send them the zipcode list. Many people have the poor choice of Tweedledee and Tweedledum in their own election, and would be glad to be able support a candidate who really stands on principle, even if they can't vote for that candidate.

In the last election, nearly 8 out of 10 voters voted for the incumbent. If only 3 out of 10 voters shift their vote from the "winner" to a principle, the political pundits and analysts will really sit up and take notice. Your letters and votes can send a clear and powerful message of support for the idea of "Liberty Under God."

Simply voting for the incumbent is a grain lost in a secular sand heap of big government. Your letter to a friend means much more. Becoming "the salt of the earth" begins with one grain; becoming "a light unto the world" begins with the first candle; building "a city upon a hill" requires many bricks in the hands of dedicated workers -- not one powerful politician with a big deficit. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."

We are in a war of ideas. Ideas rule the world. The ideas of those who won elections and expanded the federal government in the 1960's still rule our lives today. You can change the world of tomorrow. The Internet has given us the ability to share ideas freely in an uncontrolled manner with a mass audience.

Remember, 50 x 50 x 50 x 50 x 50 = 312,500,000

Personal and Face-to-Face

The Internet is a powerful communications tool. This website contains a fairly comprehensive defense of "Liberty Under God " and its application to the issues we face today. But many people are more easily persuaded and inspired by a dialogue or discussion, where their individual questions or doubts can be answered with some give-and-take and back-and-forth.

Many people will decide to support a candidate only after some live, face-to-face human contact where they can get a "feel" for the candidate as a person. They want an interview before they hire.

If you can invite 10 or more of your friends to your home for coffee, I will make every effort possible to be there to explain "Liberty Under God." Every person you invite will appreciate hearing this message. It will be an informative and stimulating get-together. Call me at 417.334.8927 to arrange a "Coffee with the Candidate."

Looking Ahead to 2006

• Decentralized, grass-roots Internet campaigns are the wave of the future.
• Face-to-face encouragement is a lost art from the past.

Let's use the Internet to organize a series of grass-roots meetings to educate victims of federally-controlled schools. Monthly meetings could make a real difference in the elections in 2006.

I get a natural "high" by sharing the ideas of "Liberty Under God " with others and seeing a light go on. I'm sure you know people who would enjoy learning about the principle that made America great, and that it can still work in the modern world. Let's get together!

Doctors, lawyers, and other professionals are required to take "Continuing Education" classes to remain up-to-date and fully qualified to practice their profession. We should all be professional Americans. We need classes and seminars in "Continuing American Education."

Thanks in advance for your support of "Liberty Under God."

* Yes, I know what you're thinking: "not a big sacrifice." At this point, that's true. Perhaps in the future larger events might require substantial funding. But there's plenty to do until then that doesn't cost much at all.
