meyer: I noticed in Van's INTERVIEW with Judge Napolitano the Tennessee Pubbies have pretty much ignored his candidacy. I assume in favor of a more "acceptable" candidate???

Right now, there's several candidates running for the Republican nomination in the 3rd congressional district. I'm not following the party too deeply, but they seem to favor Tim Gobble (Bradley County Sheriff) and Robin Smith (Chairman of the Tennessee State Republican Party). Gobble's a decent candidate, but Van Irion more closely matches my views. He's a strong constitutionalist, conservative, with a dash of libertarian (with a small "L").

Van is a relative newcomer to the political scene. He's a lawyer by trade, concentrating in constitutional law, contract disputes, patents, business transactions, and civil litigation. He's well spoken - I talked with him briefly last night.

Van served in the Air Force as an air traffic controller, holds a degree in Biochemestry and later earned his JD. He has quite a resume on his web page, www.van4congress.org .

There’s also a bit of confusion over the (small) administrative fee required to join after the May 31 deadline. The OCA website lists $20, but on Van’s web site it lists $10.

I’ll try to make some time to contact them later today and find out which is correct.

A crowded field eh? JMHO and with limited knowledge of Irion, he seems to be the real deal. A bona fide “Middle American” whose mentality is more in line with what our Founders envisioned as a servant of the people.

Thanks for your efforts. You’re staying more current on this than I am.

[EdReform]

You're welcome. Here's an email update I received yesterday evening (note: emphasis is Van Irion's). Would any of your pingees be interested in this update?

Subject:	Important Anti-Obamacare Case Update
Ed, We want to stop Obamacare and we want to stop it now. That is why I've decided to file a motion for preliminary injunction and serve it along with our amended complaint. A motion for preliminary injunction is a request that a court order be issued at the beginning of a case. Such orders prevent one party from acting while the case is being heard. Our motion will be requesting that the court prevent the Federal government from enforcing any aspect of Obamacare, while our case is pending. These types of orders are typically used to prevent one party from being harmed by the other party while the case is being heard. Federal cases can take years to be resolved, so a large amount of harm can be done while you’re waiting for the court to act. That is certainly the case here. To get such an injunction granted we must prove that 1) We will be irreparably harmed without the order; 2) we are likely to win our case; and 3) that the public will be better served by granting the order than by denying it. With strong legal reasoning and overwhelming public opposition to the government takeover of our health care, our case meets all three of these factors and supports granting a preliminary injunction. Such motions are sometimes denied, especially when the party requesting the injunction is also arguing that well-established precedent should be overturned. However, the logic of our arguments cannot be ignored. It really boils down to whether or not we get a judge that has the guts to uphold the clear meaning of the Constitution instead of bowing to politically motivated precedent from 70+ years ago. It comes down to whether or not we get a Judge that upholds his oath of office. Also, such a motion allows us to make our arguments in a way that grabs the attention of the government, the media, and the American people. We will be raising our voices again and making it known that we intend to win. We will not quietly sit by while dozens of new agencies are created to take away our freedom, while the IRS is empowered to become even more invasive of our privacy, nor while the the government continues to ignore the true reforms that are needed in health care. This motion for preliminary injunction has the potential to stop Obamacare in its tracks. It will be filed in conjunction with the amended complaint that adds you and the more than 32,000 of your fellow Americans that have joined to date. Let's make a much stronger statement to the court and make that number more than 100,000! Please tell everyone you know about our effort to take back our government. Please encourage them to join us. Even if you’ve told them before, please tell them again. Most people need to hear about something at least three times before they act. If we have 100,000 plaintiffs the Judge we will be more likely to follow his Oath and grant the injunction. Let's make this happen! In Liberty, Van Law Office of Van R.

Thanks for the update, EdReform! I saw Van this evening. Got a button and a tee shirt for his campaign. Also saw Sheriff Mack and Reverend Bryant. We had a great rally in support of the 10th amendment.

It was kind of interesting - I was wearing my Van Irion button and one of his competitors, Tim Gobble walked up to me. He and I had met at another event. He shook my hand. I respect him as a candidate also, but I think that Van Irion is the “real deal”. Gobble would be a good rep also, but I give the edge to Van.

Thanks for the update. I LIKE the idea of adding a request for a temporary injunction. Best I recall, both the Virginia suit and the combined States suit filed in Florida are both requesting “injunctive relief” also. I pray that one of these will find a judge with the “right stuff”.

Thanks for bumping the thread. I missed it the first couple of rounds.

You’re welcome! If you have an email list, please send the link out and ask others to do likewise. Thanks!

I haven't been following the numbers lately but new additions to the suit appear to have slowed to a crawl. I gather it's just about run its course. But Texas being beaten by Colliefoornia??? We'll NEVER live that down. SHEESH! ;^)

BURP!!!

Believe it or not, we have an extremely strong contingent of conservatives who aren’t able to help themselves but are willing to help others!

[EdReform]

LOL! Better out than in! Good beer?!!

Believe it or not, we have an extremely strong contingent of conservatives who aren’t able to help themselves but are willing to help others!

I believe it. I suspect, like most of the country, even in CA, conservatives outnumber the moonbats. The various referendums over the years that I've payed attention to almost always break for conservatives. Why this conservativism doesn't manifest itself in the elections is a curiousity.
