If it wasn’t so absurd, one could call it nonsensical. But one writer seems to think that it is something Rep. Corrine Brown should consider.

From blogger and Conservative writer Yosim Postelnik we garnered this gem of wisdom regarding Ms. Brown dropping out of the U.S. Senate race:

“Still, one cannot help but wonder why Corrine Brown has stopped there. Running for US House and Senate simultaneously allowed her to skirt campaign contribution limits. But a run for the presidency would open up new doors altogether. And judging by Obama’s rating trend, at the end of the day she’d at least come in ahead of the incumbent. I can hear Hillary’s 2012 campaign cry already: “No way, no how, no crazy congresswoman.”

Earlier, we reported that Rep. Brown was “gaming the system” in order to double her donations for her U.S. House bid. Again, Mr. Postelnik states it plainly:

“Back to her Senate bid. Did the scheme work? Well, to quote the Florida Times Union’s reporter David Hunt: “The possible Senate run did build some fundraising momentum. Spokesman David Heller said Brown generated about $445,000 in the last quarter. The money was split between her congressional and Senate exploratory funds, but can all be used to finance the House campaign.”

Now, more than ever, Mike needs your help. He is running a race that Mr. Postelnik, and many other Conservatives throughout Florida, knows he can win. In his article, he even states further:

“While Brown was off ostensibly running for both House and Senate (yes, for the purposes of brevity we dare to leave out President, Queen of England and Heiress to Napoleon), someone else managed to launch a campaign to actually take care of the needs of her district. In a welcome change to the politics as usual that until now has been offered as the only choice to the people of her district, that person is proposing real solutions. And he is none other than common sense conservative Mike Yost.

Mike Yost is a man whose caliber we haven’t seen the likes of since Dick Armey. He proposes real solutions for real people. He’s a principled moral and economic conservative who also believes in common sense national security. More importantly, he’s got great ideas and is running for all of the right reasons.”

We thank Mr. Postelnik and many others for their kind words. If you to, agree, then consider what your donation can mean to Mike in his efforts to bring real leadership to this District. If you support his “3 Point Pledge”, then help him have the tools he needs to bring that message to every single person in this District. Help Mike win!

Recently, we were made aware of a little known, little used “loophole” in the Federal Campaign Finance Laws. In summary, a U.S. House incumbent can declare a run for a different Federal seat (U.S. Senate), raise campaign funds for that seat and at the same time, raise money for their incumbent seat. But here is where the “gaming” of the system comes into play.

Federal Election Commission (FEC) rules sets maximum donation amounts on a candidates campaign. However, when this loophole is used, that candidate can literally, “double dip”. Let’s say Rep. Brown approaches a Union PAC (Political Action Committee) and they make a $5,000 donation to her House campaign. They can ALSO make the same contribution to her Senate “Exploratory” Committee for a grand total of $10,000. This would exceed the limits imposed on a candidate, but is allowed by the “loophole” in the laws.

Now, here is the “rub” of the loophole- she has so many days prior to the Primary election date to declare which office she is seeking for election. At that time, she can then COMBINE the funds into one massive election/re-election campaign fund.

Realistic Chances for Senate Election

When you look at how Rep. Corrine Brown would fair in a Senate race, something painfully obvious happens. In a recent poll, she would only receive 24% of the vote in a Senate election against a Republican. To add insult to injury, she would only receive 9% of the vote in a Primary election against Kendall Meek, one of the Democratic challengers. MOST voters view Ms. Brown as “unfavorable”or “unknown”in another poll.

The real issue is not whether Rep. Brown is running for Senate, but rather doing what Rep. Corrine Brown has been doing for years- using the system to do whatever benefits Corrine Brown! Many I speak with tell us that there is no way Corrine Brown will make a Senate run, but is using this loophole to make sure she has “double money” to defend our challenge to her seat.

Our Dilemma in Meeting the Challenge

Our campaign is facing a massive obstacle in raising the kind of money Rep. Corrine Brown will raise, and use, by “gaming” the system. There are NO provisions for a challenger to “double dip” donations to offset her antics in claiming a U.S. Senate run. We are forced to comply with the FEC campaign finance laws as Rep. Corrine Brown uses them to her advantage.

It doesn’t have to be that way at all when you and I begin working together. There are countless Americans who know about the corruption, the deceit, and the antics of Rep. Corrine Brown. If you don’t, simply “Google” her name and you can discover a treasure trove of information. Many feel she is an embarrassment to the State of Florida, yet making a challenge to her seat has been difficult to do.

I believe that YOU and I can do more than “make a challenge”. I believe that working together WE CAN AND WILL WIN this seat for the people of this District. It doesn’t take a few people doing a lot to win, but it takes a lot of people willing to do a little to make Rep. Corrine Brown’s retirement party a memorable one.

So how “little” do you have to do? Make a small, $25 donation the the Yost for Congress campaign. Then encourage others you know to do the same. You, and 10 others who will tell 10 others that will do the same means one thing- Rep. Corrine Brown will not be able to raise enough money to win. If you are able to contribute more, then let me thank you in advance for your belief in America and our vision for the future.

I ask you to consider what the alternatives are. First, with healthcare bills threatening to raise your taxes, Cap and Trade bringing higher energy costs, Card Check forcing unionization of the workplace with thug tactics, and one can only imagine what is next on the Liberal agenda that will bring “equal poverty” to America, you WILL have even less than what you have now. If you are like everyone else, you find that unacceptable and not what the American dream is all about.

Our goal is simple- to bring WE THE PEOPLE back to Washington with accountability to the American people we represent, respect to the Office of the U.S. House unlike Rep. Corrine Brown has done, results by taking Bold action to bring about less government and prosperity to all Americans, and oversight to the countless trillions of dollars our government spends without regard to the taxpayer.

Make your voice heard by making a contribution today and then “tell others” what you did and why. “Let’s Take it Back”…in 2010 and put the American PEOPLE first, not the Special Interest groups like ACORN at the head of the class. Let’s work together and show Rep. Corrine Brown that her days of “gaming the system” are going to end. It only take a lot of people willing to do a little to make that difference.
