A different kind of campaign
My campaign for U.S. Congress is about America reaching its potential by moving beyond business as usual. This goal means not only proposing new ideas, but practicing innovation in the campaign.
This is a low-budget campaign, asking citizens not to contribute money but rather their brainpower and commitment to solving issues. The internet has been used quite effectively in recent years to help candidates raise money. There is a certain irony in this development, because the web makes campaigning so much less expensive. For $4.95 a month, I can host this site and provide you with considerably more information than you would receive from a slew of one-minute commercials or a mile-high stack of bumper stickers, buttons, and yard signs.
You will find that my views on most issues are progressive, from economic development and regulation, to education reform, improving our health care system, and the protection of basic human rights and civil liberties. Central to my philosophy is the idea that the federal government is the only level of government with current resources and potential additional resources in the future to address our nation’s needs.
I plan to make my the campaign shorter and more serious, as is done in many other countries. I began to interactively campaign following the August 3 primary and we have already initiated a robust exchange of ideas on our forum. I have posted ideas on a number of specific issues and will be expanding these thoughts throughout the campaign. If you would like to respond to these ideas or share other thoughts with me, you can e-mail me at alieber@lieberforcongress.com. Collaboratively, we can work on addressing important issues facing America and the Second District. So, I’m not asking you for money; rather I am asking you to engage in the issues we face and to pass the word around to others that there is an exciting, new kind of campaign in the Second District.
