"The voices of the free market are going to stand up and fight for what it takes to preserve what this Republic is all about." -- John Dennis, Republican candidate for Congress, California CD 5

From Eric Dondero:

John Dennis is the the Republican nominee for US Congress against Nancy Pelosi. In over two decades in Congress, Pelosi has not yet faced a serious challenger. But in an increasingly favorable GOP year, even Pelosi's seat is starting to look a little soft for the Democrats.

So far, Dennis has been running a largely grass-roots oriented "stealth" campaign. But his extensive precinct walking, and door knocking maybe be eginning to have an impact.

Incredibly, over the weekend this news broke, from ABC News (via Memeo):

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she has much in common with the Tea Party. The speaker now says she shares views with movement she dismissed last summer as being “Astroturf” -- her suggestion that the grassroots of the Tea Party were a creation of the Republican Party.

In a “This Week” interview with ABC’s Elizabeth Vargas, Pelosi said, “We share some of the views of the Tea Partiers in terms of the role of special interest in Washington, D.C., as -- it just has to stop. And that's why I've fought the special interest, whether it's on energy, whether it's on health insurance, whether it's on pharmaceuticals and the rest.”

In a recent interview with Roger Hedgecok, Dennis said:

When we first started this I have to admit my goals and objectives were more modest than victory in a conventional sense. But back in December we all starting talking in the campaign, ya know, maybe we can do this, maybe we can pull this off. And then, then Scott Brown happened, and um, everything's changed since then.

We have a forumula as to what it's gonna take to defeat Nancy Pelosi, and we're gonna try to execute it.

Editor's Comment - John Dennis does not share many of the foreign policy objectives of this website, nor of the Pro-Defense Libertarian movement on the whole. (We agree with him 100% on domestic matters!) However, Ms. Pelosi supports pro-defense even less. Given that this is San Francisco, we're willing to put our foreign policy differences aside and fully support Dennis for Congress!
