Also special thanks to the authors of Bleeding Heartland for promoting my diaries and the diaries of my opponents over the last few months.  We all appreciate your dedication to giving us front row.

I hope my next posting will be signed as Democratic Nominee.  

Thanks again and FORWARD MARCH!

Special thanks to the Midwest Democrat for their endorsement of me.

Below is a list of great Chicken Crossing the Road jokes.

I am sure Becky, Kevin and Kurt would rather you all poke fun at us in this manner than attacking each other.  The jokes below will serve as a good guideline.

Let's see who can come up with the best additions pertaining to ALL FOUR OF US CANDIDATES.  KEEP IT CLEAN, BUT HAVE FUN WITH IT.  ALL FOUR OF US DO HAVE GREAT SENSES OF HUMOR. 

Becky, Kurt, Kevin and myself have been through hell for the last few months and this evening ALL FOUR OF US are stressed to the max.  I am sure not a single one of you have any idea what we are going through this evening.  I guarantee Becky, Kevin and Kurt are just as awake and overwhelmed with anxiety as I am.  Not only have we stressed ourselves financially, but physically, and mentally.  All of our families have suffered through this process.  We have been through more than you could ever know in this quest for the nomination.  We have done this to make our nation BETTER FOR ALL OF YOU.

While we all appreciate having passionate supporters, the last thing we need are phone calls regarding cat fights on blogs.  It would help ALL FOUR OF US immensely for all of you to kiss and make up and instead channel your positive energy for tomorrow evening.

That being said, Steve I am glad you came here and posted under your real name to clear up that attempt to pit our families against each other.

Sue, (mom #2) I am glad you have done the same.

For those of you who have attacked my credibility, no it did not work.  I know how hard it is right now, because I am living it.  Your attacks do not make it any easier on the people you are representing, especially when you are making false accusations as a paid staffer. I don't know if you did the same thing with B's campaign, but I am sure he would have never allowed it if he knew.

Others with questions, please contact through my website: meyersforhouse.com and I would be happy to answer ANY of your questions.  I am not posting here to debate, but to introduce and inform and promote not only myself, but the agenda of our party.  If you would care to attack me, then at least have the guts to use your real names, as I have used mine.

Lastly, I would like to personally invite any of you to join my family, friends and I for a primary election gathering in Boone tomorrow evening.  We will be at the Colorado Bar and Grill, located on South Marshall Street beginning about 8 P.M.  Map below. 

Greetings from the road!

I am doing my best to type this quick message on an IPod Touch from an interstate rest area (great perk for travels in Iowa).

I am the only individual representing my campaign on this blog or any other blog.  I have posted here myself (opposed to other candidates), and have used my real name.

It is refreshing to see three other individuals on this blog who have also had the courage to use their real names.  There have been individuals who have posted and have tried posting in support of me, who I have never met and are certainly NOT working/volunteering for my campaign.

As always, there seems to be a very dirty side to this game and those of you who have attempted to tarnish another using ficticious information or identities should be ashamed of yourselves.

Please note that this evening on KCCI Channel 8, all four candidates will be presented.  2 (me) candidates at 5 PM and the other 2 at 6 PM.

Six months ago I made my first official contact with each and every Democratic County Chair, introducing myself, and my candidacy for the United States House of Representatives.  Six months later, Chairpersons in key counties still deny me access to their Democrats.  I have asked multiple times, and even done so in my email newsletters, viewed by thousands of Democrats in the fourth district.  Additionally,  my email news program allows me to track who opens the emails, the date and time they opened them, links they may have clicked on, and who they may have forwarded the emails to.

As the primary is just a week away (that went fast), I wanted to share this great trip with readers here.  The people I’ve met, and the places I’ve seen have been amazing.  It is an experience I encourage everyone to try, it’s worth it.  A special thanks to Democracy for America for their superb “Night School” training, a must for anyone considering a run at any level.  Without DFA, I would have never made it out of the starting gate.

I shall never forget the sacrifices of the men and women who served before me, with me, or after me.  May God rest your souls.

Two weeks ago in Winterset, at our 4th District Candidate Forum, I hand delivered letters to my opponents  Becky Greenwald, Kurt Meyer, and Kevin Miskell.  The subject matter of these letters was regarding an upcoming candidate forum in Ames on the 28th of May, presented by Working Families Win. 

The Madison County Democrats are leading the way with the first 4th District Congressional Candidate Forum!

This forum is open to the public.  Press and Bloggers are encouraged to attend.

I sincerely hope to meet many of you there!

Best Regards,

William J. Meyers

Since launching my exploratory committee in January of 2007, I've encountered a wide variety of people both online and in person. My exploratory committee lasted 11 months, until I turned it over to an official campaign on Veterans’ Day on the 11th of November Since the official launch, I have spent months on the road collecting signatures for ballot access and for speaking engagements. This entire experience has exposed me to people and places in Iowa that most people will never access. Frozen Wal-Mart parking lots in Mason City, smoke-filled bars in Eagle Grove, and Clint Eastwood-made-famous-cafes in Winterset.

I thought I could break myself in here with a little background info about myself and mission.  I'll do my best, time permitting, to keep up with posting on a regular basis.  I am running my campaign myself.  We cannot afford paid staffers to take care of these types of things, so I hope you will all bear with me.
