Lieber on a working vacation — 2014-08-06

Progressive Democrats, Lieber supporters, take 10 minutes and 10 seconds out of your day to tell your friends about the League of Women Voters Candidates Forum, Weds., Oct 22, 7 pm, at Meramec Community College. (Map) in the student center. (Directions) Arthur will be at the podium, along with his Libertarian opponent. Ann Wagner? Haven't heard from her. For more details, please click here.

I began this campaign by not taking any campaign contributions because I abhor the current incestuous relationship between money and politics. However I have been convinced that small donations are good; they represent a way for supporters to become an active part of the campaign. Contribute to the campaign and that truly represents grass-roots democracy.
I am now accepting contributions of up to $10.10 per person. Why $10.10? Because that is the new federal minimum wage proposed by President Obama and other Democrats. If enough people contribute, it will indeed make a difference in how many mailings I can do, how many billboards I can have, and even how many TV ads I can have.
By not seeking or accepting large contributions, I can focus my time on talking with constituents, studying issues, and once elected, doing the day job of a Congressman as a representative of everyone in the district.
