RLC-Endorsed Liberty Candidate Ratowitz Wins His Primary
Submitted by Jivatman on Wed, 02/03/2010 - 20:34
I admit to not knowing about this guy until I was at the RLC website and saw him featured.
Looking at his web site, it appears that he is a true liberty candidate. He says he opposes nation building, and says we need to hold the president accountable for not restoring civil liberties, is anti-fed, pro-10th amendment, he even says he was a C4L activist.
Here is where it says he won: http://www.ratowitzforcongress.com/in-the-news/ratowitz-to-t...
Sounds GREAT to me...
"As a veteran (former Paratrooper and Army Ranger), I have experience in national defense. The federal government has a Constitutional responsibility to defend U.S. shores and sovereignty from all threats. The fact that the United States currently has hundreds of thousands of troops deployed across an estimated 135 countries stretches our military too thin and imposes unnecessary human costs on military personnel. I am confident that American security is better served by streamlining our military, concentrating our forces and avoiding futile nation building."

And this is Obama territory?
Wow!
If you wont fight for the right when you can easily win...you may...have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival [or] when there is no chance of victory...it's better to perish than to live as slaves.

5th District
I currently live in Illinois' 5th District. This is a very difficult place for a Republican to win. I think even more so than the senate race in Massachusetts. The Democrat primary is normally considered the decider for this race. I worked as an election judge for the special election when Quigley won. Voters had to ask for a Republican, Democrat, or Green party ballot to vote in the special primary. There were about 125 voters at my precint that day. There was 1 Green party, 5 Republican, and 119 Democrat ballots taken. Politics and government in Chicago is very far from liberty. This is why my wife and I have decided to move to Indiana. I did at least get to vote for Ratowitz in the primary before leaving the state and I wish him the best in November.
What state did you move to?

This is a great chance for the people to take back a seat.
The Fifth Congressional District has been a center of power for corrupt Democrats like Dan Rostenkowski (Federal Prison), Rod Blagojevich (Fed prison bound) and our "no crisis goes wasted" chief of staff, Rahm Emmanuel. It would be an important win for the Liberty movement, especially in its symbolic significance.
I support David and his candidacy and have great expectations for his chances to change the status quo.
He could use all the support possible to fight the Dems in their center of power, Illinois and the City of Chicago.
The Ratowitz for Congress team has many Ron Paul supporters working together who met on the RP campaign, proving that Dr. Paul's message is still as powerful as ever!
Please support David by getting the word out on this important race, and donating anything you can.

I'll send him congratulations
...COOL
The DP is proof that the grassroots support for Ron Paul and his peaceful message of individual liberty is large, real, and not going away!
good idea

He seems okay. I'm not sure
He seems okay. I'm not sure if he can win. His district takes in part of Chicago and the western suburbs. It would seem like Democrat territory, but who knows?

Stop looking around for excuses.
This is an opportunity, not a problem. The people are ready for a change up in government here.
What Liberty Slate says is immaterial, the race is 0 to 0 right now.
The dedicated team behind him is not looking back at our competitors, we are looking forwards to the finish line.
Excuses for what? What are you talking about?
??

Excuses for not getting behind him.
"I'm not sure if he can win though."
He's on the ballot, running on the Republican ticket in a district ready for the taking. He has a chance, unless you want to listen to the media before you get behind him.
This is an opportunity, NOT a problem DC.
Who said he didn't have a chance?
Settle down, junior, and re-read both my posts.

Junior?!
I love it how you end the discussion with abusive behavior! NOT. You sounded like a naysayer, even if you think you did not! Defeatism is the problem we have to overcome! What the other commenter wrote has some validity to it!
Chance of winning
http://libertyslate.com/candidates/candidates-by-rank/
Liberty slate gives him a relatively low 2/5 on chance of winning, though I'm not sure if that included his chance of winning this primary or not.
Hmmm, might win on a light
Hmmm, might win on a light turnout, given that I think a lot of Dems won't show at the polls.
Here's hoping.

YEP!
Time for us to get to work!
Wow, I am so proud of our
Liberty candidates I sure hope he is the real deal.
He's almost as good as Ken Buck.
Answered no to question 8 on C4L's survey: he does not want to leave the UN.
Another example of an imperfect candidate
Hopefully it's just a matter of ignorance, that he doesn't want to pull out of the U.N. From its very inception it's been a tool of the worldwide communist party, and is as corrupt today (visibly so) as it was in the 1940's and 1950's.
