That's the problem.  We should not have to do that.  Tell you this - you
come out here to this group, present your qualifications and a plan, its
likely the Internet community could get behind you and we can use people
power and shoe leather to get you elected.  Its how Joel Wachs first got
elected, same thing for Mike Feuer (who went up against the money and
power of the Yarovslasky Dynsasty with no money of his own) and Ruth
Galanter.

It can be done, we just have to do it.
