I would like to announce that B.J. Lawson, the Triangle Meetup Coordinator in North Carolina, has officially launched his Congressional Campaign in District 4 in North Carolina. This is currently the district of Democratic Congressman David Price, an entrenched establishment figure. The district comprises of Chapel Hill and Durham and parts of Raleigh/Wake County, and it contains a very high university and young professional population, making it a hot ground for a libertarian-leaning candidate like Mr. Lawson. Please visit his website today: http://www.lawsonforcongress.com

We are going to be involved in a big time battle. After the NCGOP found out that BJ was a Ron Paul supporter, they recruited the Orange County GOP Chair to run, so we do have a primary opponent who is backed by the establishment.

We are going to make a major fundraising push online within the Ron Paul network. But suffice it to say: BJ Is a truly outstanding candidate. He has a grasp of the issues that is simply unmatched by any candidate I have ever met, and this includes Ron Paul himself. He has a background as an engineer and a MD, the latter career he left to start a health care software company. We have a real shot to win this district: we've assembled a terrific staff, we've got a population that has a lot of libertarians and a hugely anti-war and pro-civil liberties liberals, and we have a dynamic candidate. With the Ron Paul internet network and an awesome website on our side, we have the ability to not only quash our primary opponent, but also to match or beat Congressman Price.
