RJ Harris is publicly challenging incumbent Tom Cole to a series of debates to be held at publicly accessible venues and media outlets. One of the ethical lessons coming from the tea party movements is that the people want to interview their candidates and be able to question their representatives. Harris is issuing an open invitation to any news organization, activist group, college club or organization, who would like to host one or more of the series. Contact Jonathan Gibbons at 405-881-0951 if you have any interest in hosting the event.

Congressional Candidate Fundraiser at the Interurban Restaurant in Norman on Jan. 15th
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Congressional Candidate Fundraiser at the Interurban Restaurant in Norman on Jan. 15th
Oklahoma- January 11, 2010
Fourth District Congressional Candidate, RJ Harris, will be holding a fundraiser at the Interurban Restaurant in Norman on January 15th. The one day goal for the fundraiser is $20,000. The Harris campaign has used “money bombs”, an internet fundraising event made famous during the Ron Paul Presidential candidacy, to raise $33,000. This fundraiser will take heed of the money bomb strategy, while also making the biggest effort to reach out to local constituents, thus far. RJ Harris will be present both online and at the Interurban restaurant to meet with voters and take questions.
The central hub of the fundraiser can be found online at www.rjharrismoneybomb.com The Harris campaign will be advertising this event with local talk radio. The campaign has also utilized a video to capture the audio of the local radio advertisement. This video can be found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7247uTWa68&feature=player_embedded
RJ Harris has provided the following message regarding this event:
"Many are questioning the staying power and tenacity of the Tea Party/912/Liberty Movement currently sweeping the Nation and whether it will have the political muscle to initiate and sustain real changes in the current government. On January 15th 2010 the Citizens of Oklahoma will have an opportunity to show the world that they are ready to directly engage the ruling classes in the political establishment by donating to a Congressional Candidate who owes no political favors, who has no political "career" to protect, and who has made Constitutional Conservatism the watch-words of his campaign."

Oklahoma- January 4, 2009
"Many are questioning the staying power and tenacity of the Tea Party/912/Liberty Movement currently sweeping the Nation and whether it will have the political muscle to initiate and sustain real changes in the current government.

Until now the RJ Harris 2010 Campaign has done very well getting our message out via the internet, word-of-mouth, robo-calling, chain-emailing, youtube video blogging, and with personal campaign appearances around the district from RJ and his staff. Now we need to pump- up our ground game and open up a visible campaign HQ from which we can direct a district-wide effort to energize the Liberty Constituents and directly disseminate the Liberty Message to the entire electorate. On January 15th, we’ll be holding our biggest fundraising event yet. www.rjharrismoneybomb.com will be the central online location for the event. Further information on physical locations will be announced in the coming days.

Kicking off the New Year
Dear Patriots,
Firstly, we would like to thank everyone who has helped this campaign move forward throughout 2009 and wish you all a very Happy New Year. Without your dedication and support we would not be polling in at 31% with our opponent falling below 50%. RJ is within striking distance of defeating Tom Cole! Our message is resonating. Our trouble is not winning over the voters, but getting the message out to them. With just over $30,000 we’ve accomplished what many have called the impossible. Your money has been put to good work!
Throughout the past month we’ve engaged in some reorganization and major planning for the New Year. Some of you may have already noticed various changes on our website. We’ve designed three new websites and updated our main website. Additionally, now you can get active in debate and discussion on the RJ Harris Forums at www.harrisforoklahoma.com/forums.
Many have asked for yard signs, bumper stickers, t-shirts, banners, flyers, etc., so we’ve revamped our campaign store at www.cafepress.com/rjharris . Now you can get all of the campaign materials you could ever hope for, even bowls for your dog! We encourage everyone in the district to purchase a yard sign and get it out on your front yard ASAP.
Three new websites:
www.harrisforoklahoma.com We’ve created a companion website for the campaign. www.harrisforoklahoma.com encapsulates many of the various suggestions and requests of several thousand persons that we’ve met in person and spoken to through the web. We hope this website will consolidate many of the key characteristics of RJ Harris and his candidacy. We’ve condensed the ever-growing
www.rjharris2010.com material into more of a “brochure-like” presentation for voters just getting to know RJ.
www.harrisvscole.com We’ve created a dedicated website to explain the differences between RJ Harris and Tom Cole. Many have asked for this and there were so many differences that we felt it deserved its own home on the web.
www.rjharrismoneybomb.com Many of you may be familiar with this website already. The great patriots over at retake congress used this to put on a money bomb for us several months ago. We’ve since upgraded the site and added our latest money bomb, on January 15th.
We hope the above websites will help to grab more visitors’ attention and improve our overall internet campaign which has been crucial to our success.
Moving forward in our campaign to defeat corporatism, fiscal liberalism, and unconstitutional legislations, we are holding our biggest Money Bomb yet. On January 15th, we’ll be holding a money bomb to raise $250,000 to get us through the rest of the campaign. We are in need of a publicly visible campaign HQ’s to reach out to more voters and raise more money in the district. We have a great place picked out but need your help to secure it as our HQ’s. Please mark the date January 15th on your calendar and spread the word to everyone you know. The victory of this campaign is dependent on your continued support and financial help. As was already stated, the issue isn’t whether or not our message can win, but whether or not we are able to get it out to enough voters.
www.rjharrismoneybomb.com is the central hub for this upcoming Money Bomb.
For Liberty,
Jonathan Gibbons

“Socialism and Corporatism are taking over our government, our Republic is failing, the Constitution is being ignored and the American birthright of freedom is being sold out by the very people sworn to protect it. The time for neutrality and sunshine patriotism is over. It’s time to fight with your activism and your money and your votes; or watch your country die. It’s time to hold the representatives we elected accountable by replacing them with Constitutional Conservative Candidates from within our ranks. It is time to WAKE UP, and fight for liberty!” RJ Harris

WAKE UP AMERICA; it’s time to fight for Liberty!
Originally Posted on April 28, 2009 by RJ Harris
Unprecedented in our nations recent history, the silent liberty loving majority has begun to wake up to the “long train of abuses” being perpetrated against them by the current ruling classes. Unfortunately, many in the leadership of the many grass-roots organizations attempting to marshal the awaking body politic have asserted that they should not be politically active nor partisan- motivated. God love the Birchers, but for the last 50+ years they have attempted that exact same non-political, educational effort to no avail…for here we are watching as the Congress and the White House rip our Constitution to shreds, destroying our Republic in the process, while we stand by being non-political and non-partisan. What have the current incumbent bailout voters to fear so long as we remain non-political? They can simply wait out this current gale of anger from us and then go back to their nefarious ways when we go back to sleep. The only thing they understand, like so many tyrants before them, is political force. When we start replacing them with Constitutional Conservatives, in large numbers, THEN we will certainly have their attention.
So how do we keep these new patriots awake and in the fight? I guarantee you it’s not through being non-political and merely an educational movement. People do not stay up all night making signs to hang from freeway overpasses nor post blogs all over the net for “educational” efforts. They do not give money in record amounts, like they did for Ron Paul, for efforts that will not result in real change. They do not get back involved in their parties to rid them of the socialists (Democrats) and corporatists (Republicans) that have taken them over by staying neutral. And they do not march in the streets with the same fire and righteous anger as they did on April 15th 2009 when they are repeatedly told that their fight is going to be non-political, neutral and therefore irrelevant. However, we will do and have done all of those things for Constitutional Conservative Candidates that we KNOW will stand up and fight for US!
My fellow Americans and Oklahomans, there are Constitutional Conservative Candidates stepping forward to fight for us all over this country and they have the establishment in both major parties running scared. As a result you can bet that they will not get any financial aid or volunteer support from their respective party establishments. Furthermore, real Constitutional Conservative Candidates will refuse to solicit money from lobbyists or party officials known to be supporting bailout voters. Thus, as much as the Constitutional Conservatives are riding to our aid, we must ride to theirs and support them with donations and volunteerism.
Socialism and Corporatism are taking over our government, our Republic is failing, the Constitution is being ignored and the American birthright of freedom is being sold out by the very people sworn to protect it. The time for neutrality and sunshine patriotism is over. It’s time to fight with your activism and your money and your votes; or watch your country die. It’s time to hold the representatives we elected accountable by replacing them with Constitutional Conservative Candidates from within our ranks. It is time to WAKE UP, and fight for liberty!
The consequences of continued non-political efforts and neutrality are too heinous to even consider. But consider them we must. When the Roman Republic fell to imperialism from within itself, the western world did not know freedom again until 1776. For 1700+ years’ freedom and individual liberties were ignored by the great western powers of the world. If we let freedom and liberty fail on our watch, how long will it be, how many generations will pass, before the next George Washington or Thomas Jefferson are born?
We must fight now or freedom will fail and our children will wake up slaves in the land our fathers founded. FOR LIBERTY!
FOR LIBERTY!
