The Chris Moeller Archives

Campaign update 9/22/08

The Chris Moeller for Statehouse campaign moves forward. Just to let you know what we've been up to-- campaign literature has been printed up that includes a stunning picture of the candidate. On Saturday, I walked the East Village and the downtown areas of Des Moines distributing a few of these cards and posting them on public bulletin boards. I mailed some to Iowa City also where they'll be included in a fundraising mailing that goes out to all the registered Greens in the state. The Chris Moeller Campaign Fund is up and running and Aunt Mary's generous contribution all the way from Great Falls, Montana established the account balance.

The Iowa City/Johnson County branch of the state Greens has been doing what it can to bring presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney to Iowa for a party event before November 4th-- an exciting prospect to say the least, and there will be an opportunity to meet me, Des Moines' local Green candidate, on Sunday, October 5th. We'll have a table set up at the Capital City Pride event in the East Village that afternoon from 12-6. Come out and get your Green Party buttons and McKinney bumper stickers while they last!

These numbers are towering-- the 50 richest members of Congress and their corresponding net worths, compiled by Roll Call (and these are just the amounts they report, as the article explains.) Is it unfair to presume that these lawmakers' financial holdings put them far out of touch with the average American? Do Americans feel better about themselves when they're being led by their financial betters? The former NFL quarterback managed to come in only 35th.
