My campaign for re-election to the Fyffe Town Council is in full swing. I am facing a major challenge by a former 5 term councilman and former mayoral candidate.
The campaign is low on funds but high on energy.
Anyone wishing to help in any way may contact me at
sandmountainslim@yahoo.com
The election will be held August 26th
Thank you
William Potter

Convince Ron Paul To Make A Third Party Run
While it is a little known fact, there is currently an on-going effort to convince Ron Paul to make a third party run for the White House. A petition drive online is attempting to show Dr. Paul that there are enough Americans who want an alternative to the clones of Party A and Party B. (Click here to view the petition and/or sign it.)
In recent weeks Dr. Paul has been dropping hints (despite what the media have claimed; according to the media Dr. Paul has dropped out of the race more time than George Foreman has retired from boxing) that he would consider a third party run for president. However, he needs to hear that there are Americans out there who want him to do just that. To many of us wish to complain about Hillary/Obama/McCain, but we don't do anything other than complain. Now is your chance. Sign the petition, email Dr. Paul's Congressional office, his campaign office, and write him a letter as well. Call his offices - let him know that you want to see him run for president.
We need an alternative. Can he win as a third party candidate? Of course! Will it be an uphill battle? Of course, the machine that controls our nation will fight such a move tooth and nail. But just because it will be hard doesn't mean that it cannot be done.

"Merger" Update
After viewing Mr. Whitaker's campaign site, I see no indication that he has "merged" with another party or parties. His campaign site has a banner link to our main site, JeffersonRepublicanParty.com - he is not ashamed of us. As Mr. Whitaker continues to support the rest of the JRP in good faith, we will reciprocate the same toward him in like fashion. We wish him all the best in the 2010 Tennessee gubernatorial election.
As far as the so-called "United Jeffersonian Party" goes, the website that indicated as going live "soon", still has not emerged.
The Jefferson Republican Party is here to stay, and we will continue in our struggle to restore government to its proper place. Our desire is to work from the bottom up - that is to start at the local level.

Reelecting a Jeffersonian
February 15, 2008 - Fyffe, Alabama - William Potter, chairman of the Jefferson Republican Party and the JRP-Alabama, is seeking to be the first Jefferson Republican to be reelected as a member of the Fyffe Town Council.
While many "third" parties focus too much of their attention and monies upon the Federal elections, the JRP continues to be a grassroots effort working from the ground up - that means focusing on the town, city and county elections first and foremost.
For much of the last few weeks, Mr. Potter has spent his time concentrating on his efforts to be reelected. Though Fyffe is small in comparison to more well-known cities, it still takes a lot of time, effort, and yes, money, to win an election - no matter how "insignificant" the national parties and media deem it to be.
The Jefferson Republican Party believes that all elected offices are important and vital. We also believe that the only way the average American can retake this country and turn things around is to start winning local elections. We can talk about how important retaking Washington, DC, is, or our state capitols. However, those places will never return to the people, unless the people first take responisbility in their own backyard first.

No Merger With Anyone
There is to be no merger of the Jefferson Republican Party. The allegations of such taking place are complete fabrications. None of the members of the JRP, including the party leadership, had even heard of this until the JRP-Arkansas chairman read the interview with Angelo Cobrasci on Third Party Watch.
The Jefferson Republican Party has no intentions of merging with anyone. The JRP is an independent political party. Though "Republican" is a part of our name, we are in no way affiliated with the so-called Republican Party of today. We are republican because we espouse the republican views of the founders of our once great Republic. We would never even consider merging with another party without giving deliberate, careful consideration. We will not compromise, or give opportunity to compromise our convictions and ideals.
The Jefferson Republican Party would never make a major move without notifying all of our members well in advance. In the past we have entered into alliances with other like-minded parties, such as the Constitution Party of New York. In those cases we carefully considered the alliance, and all the members were allowed to vote on the matter. We do not want to suprise the public or the members of the Jefferson Republican Party.
Regarding Mr. Cobrasci and his "United Jeffersonian Party", we have very little information on who he is, or where he believes he has received the authority to make the claims he has made in the last few days. Mr. Cobrasci mentions that he has been in contact with Mr. Carl Whitaker of the JRP-Tennessee. As of yet, we have received no confirmation or denial of this claim from Mr. Whitaker and our members in Tennessee.
Future updates on this situation will continue to be made as the information comes available.

JRP to merge?
Third Party Watch is reporting that the JRP has merged with another third party to form the United Jeffersonian Party. To the extent of my knowledge, as the Communications Director for the Jefferson Republican Party, these rumors are false and completely inaccurate. There has been no mention to me of a potential or even possible merger. Neither has there been any discussion of such among the members of the JRP. Such a decision would have to be voted upon, and we have not done so.
I have not spoken with Mr. Potter in the last couple of days, and I am awaiting word from him regarding said rumors.
I will make future updates on this as information comes available.

Killing the Opposition
Yesterday morning headlines around the world blared with the news that former Pakistani prime Minister Bhutto had been assassinated. While not the most exemplary person, Bhutto had long stood against the corrupt and sadistic government of Pakistan. Bhutto was perhaps President Musharraf's most severe critic, hence it is no surprise that she has met an untimely end.
However, it is quite interesting to note that Musharraf and the Pakistani government has wasted no time in pinning the blame upon terrosists - Al-Qaeda, no less.
This foolish action of killing an opposition leader has taken Pakistan to the brink of civil war, according to the Canadian and Australian media. Pakistan is a nation with nuclear weapons and such a conflict could prove to be devastating to that entire region.
The Jefferson Republican Party condemns the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. The killing of an opponent, despite whoever is truly responsible for the action, is deplorable. Further more this action shows that man has reached such a despicable state that not only are men targeted in their murderous designs, but also are women in children murdered without impunity.
