Dear Brigade,

"Bob Conley is not publicly endorsing Obama. That's his personal
business, he said, adding that his dream ticket would be led by Pat
Buchanan, with Ron Paul as vice president..."

Brigade, I have written to you before about one of our own --
conservative Democrat Bob Conley from South Carolina. He's running
for the U.S. Senate seat held by neocon Lindsey Graham.

Bob is closing the gap with Graham. A private poll shows Bob at
40% -- an increase of 8 points since I last wrote you about him.
Graham remains unchanged at just over 50%. Bob can win this race.

A former Brigader who helped Pat in his presidential campaigns and
a Ron Paul supporter, Bob needs some financial help now.

Before you send Bob any money, there are 10 things
I want you to "NO" about him...

-- No to Wall Street bailouts

-- No to "earmarks" and wasteful spending

-- No to "Free Trade" agreements

-- No to the importation of workers who take our jobs

-- No to special interest influence in Washington

-- No to amnesty and illegal immigration

-- No to the continued occupation of Iraq

-- No to global military adventurism

-- No to the expansion of Executive power

-- No to the erosion of our civil liberties

If we can't stand up for Bob, who can we stand up for?

Brigade, please pass this email on to fellow patriots across the
USA.

Bob is fighting on the front line for our issues. He won the
SC primary almost completely on his own dime. A little bit of
support from all of us in every state will give us a "Ron Paul/Pat
Buchanan" Senator this November.

As always, For the Cause, Linda

PS -- The SC Dems are not giving him much support. See two columns

There Are Some Things Bob Conley Doesn't Want to Understand...

The hits on Bob Conley from the state Democratic Party leadership
are coming fast and furious. The mildest criticism comes from State
Democratic Party Chairwoman Carol Fowler, who has called Bob Conley
"an inexperienced campaigner and possibly there are some things
about politics he doesn't understand."

Fowler has a point. There are some things about politics Bob Conley
doesn't understand.

* He doesn't understand why the Democratic Leadership, after
promising to end the occupation in Iraq, failed to follow through
on their promise after winning majority status in Congress.

* He doesn't understand why the Democratic Leadership will not
stand strong for the middle class by coming up with a sound energy
policy that would end our dependence on foreign oil through
development of alternatives that would reduce costs.

* He doesn't understand why the Democratic Leadership has
colluded with the Bush Administration in eroding the civil
liberties of American citizens.

* He doesn't understand why the Democratic Leadership wants to
grant amnesty to illegal immigrants, who are leaving Americans
unemployed and underemployed; who are driving up medical costs for
all Americans; sapping our schools of resources that should be
devoted to American children; overtaxing our social services; and
spreading crime -- all paid for by the shrinking middle class.

* He doesn't understand why the Democratic Leadership is
selling out Americans for the benefit of corporations and espousing
policies which will spawn a new, and even larger, wave of illegal
entry across our border with Mexico.

* He doesn't understand why the Democratic Leadership favors
the importation of foreign skilled labor in the tech sector, while
qualified American citizens continue to lose these jobs, experience
stagnant wages and a lowering of working conditions, and have
trouble seeking new employment.

* He doesn't understand why the Democratic Leadership would
cede the Constitutional powers of Congress to the Executive Branch.

Yes, there is a lot Bob Conley doesn't understand about politics.
If this is the kind of experience the Democratic Party Leadership
brings to the table, it should outrage all South Carolinians. Is it
any wonder why there is only a single Democrat elected to a
statewide office these days?

Graham's Senate Challenger a Candidate Without a Party
By Jim Davenport
Associated Press
Monday, September 15, 2008

CAYCE -- On a recent Thursday evening, the South Carolina Democrat
sharing the top of state ballots with Sen. Barack Obama strode
through a restaurant parking lot where the bumper stickers featured
the presidential candidacies of Ron Paul, Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin.
Bob Conley

Inside the family eatery just outside Columbia, a mix of
independents, Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians and Constitution
Party members waited. A smattering of members of Southern heritage
groups were in attendance. Copies of "Free the South: A Blueprint
for Peaceful and Legal Secession," rested on a couple of tables.

In a year when South Carolina voter registration shot up because of
Obama's candidacy, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Bob Conley is a
decidedly odd fit.

It's a role the 43-year-old engineer and flight instructor seems to
relish.

"The job of a U.S. senator is to represent his state and the
interests of his state and that means the people of the state,"
said Conley, sporting his trademark flattop haircut and a striped
tie.

"And that means we go around and we talk to folks of all different
strata and philosophy because my job in January is to represent
these folks in Washington."

For all his talk of diverse backers, Conley is a man without a base.

He once ran as a Republican for an Indiana state House seat, then
bolted for the Reform Party. After moving to North Myrtle Beach, he
joined his local GOP committee and backed Ron Paul in this year's
South Carolina presidential primary.

Five months later, he won a lackluster contest to become the
Democratic pick to face powerhouse Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham
in November.

"He is naive and inexperienced," state Democratic Party Chairwoman
Carol Fowler said last week.

"I'm not sure where his votes are coming from."

Conley is not publicly endorsing Obama. That's his personal
business, he said, adding that his dream ticket would be led by Pat
Buchanan, with Paul as vice president.

When he's asked where he thinks he'll draw support considering his
party's leaders don't appear to like him, Conley shoots back,
"Democrats, Republican, Libertarians and vegetarians."

"I think the American people and the people of South Carolina are
recognizing there's a certain strata in the political class that
doesn't represent them," Conley said.
