Continuing the optimism and “can do” theme established by his positive television ads (seen here), Tony Strickland continued his grass roots campaign this past week surrounded by dozens of campaign supporters and volunteers who took to the streets of Camarillo at six o’clock in the morning for a few hours of Burma-Shaving with Strickland campaign signs and messages about lower taxes, budget reform, renewable energy, and opposition to a proposed prison hospital facility in the city of Camarillo. “Burma-Shaving” is a term made famous by the 1920’s advertising campaign of the Burma-Shave company which used poems and slogans on small boards for display to passers-by.

The early morning Camarillo rally was the first of many appearances by an increasing number of supporters, volunteers, interns, and Tony Strickland himself. The campaign has continued the daily Burma-Shave rallies at many locations throughout the 19th SD every morning since and will continue the program through election day on Nov. 4th.

“It’s a great feeling to get up early and see voters eye to eye driving to work and school.”, said Strickland, “All of the waves, honks, thumbs up, and support we receive is a great feeling and an encouraging way to start the day.”

Tony Strickland has been renown for solid retail politics in all of his previous campaigns - walking precincts, greeting voters and asking them for their votes.

In this pivotal California State Senate race, Strickland is taking nothing for granted and working the shoe leather early and often.

And, while you are thinking about, go here and send Tony a few bucks to finance his media campaign.

It has been rumored for some time that the “disgruntled” not-reappointed former George W. Bush Secretary of State would try to stab the GOP in the back.

What will the impact be?

Minimal.

The Left will ONLY barely tolerate Powell and another former General, Wesley Clark, has already made an ass of himself for Obama.

Flap won’t mention the racial aspect in this endorsement.

This is as hard to swallow as Cheatin’ John’s story about Rielle Hunter and her baby’s father.

The Left excuses the MSM not covering the story and Edwards himself by saying he is no longer running for office. What a load of crap.

John Edwards needs to come clean especially about the child’s paternity and his expenditure of funds for Rielle Hunter.

More lies don’t cut it.
