I apologize for not sending out more frequent updates, but looking at my own habits of viewing email, the candidates that continue to send me updates every week no longer get opened. We are still early in the campaign and as we get closer, I will send out more frequent updates.

Since the last update I attended two days of training sponsored by the “Campaign for Liberty” organization. I had the opportunity to speak with Congressman Ron Paul during one of the social gatherings. It was an honor to meet him and I fully support his amendment to “Audit the FED.” On top of this, it seems every week there is a GOP event to attend – which is great!  Attendance at these events has continued to grow and I look forward to meeting more and more of the people that make up the 4th district. One of the more interesting events I attended recently was a luncheon for WWII veterans. I sat beside some truly amazing men who had equally amazing stories to tell. You may remember the movie Matthew McConaugney starred in called “U-571″ which tells the story of the capture of a German submarine and their Enigma cipher machine. It didn’t happen exactly like it did in the movie, but their acts of heroism are every bit as impressive. What was even more impressive is that the U-boat was captured off the coast of Spain and towed across the Atlantic so the Germans would not know it had fallen into enemy control. Engineers rigged the propellers onboard the boat to turn freely and generate power onboard the boat, allowing the spooks (Intelligence personnel) to continue working while the boat was towed. Onboard the three US Navy ships were over 3,000 sailors, soldiers, and marines and not one of them mentioned a word of this until well after the war had ended. These men understood the importance of what they had recovered and how it would help the cause and that leaking this information out would cause the Germans to change their machines and codes. This was a critical point in the war and no one talked. Amazing!

The month of March has several town-halls, luncheons, BBQ’s and GOP events to attend and I look forward to meeting everyone. I will also be adding more text to the “Sensible Ideas” portion of my website. Those items should be added by the end of the week so please take a minute to read them. The most important event to announce is that I will be holding a fundraiser/campaign kickoff next week on Wednesday, March 10th, at the 57th Fighter Group Restaurant (3829 Clairmont Road, Atlanta, GA) near Peachtree-DeKalb Airport (PDK). It will be from 5:30pm to 7:00pm and I’d love for you to stop by. The restaurant is a walk back in time!

Last on the agenda is to remind everyone to continue to call their representatives concerning healthcare and the economy. The administration is going to continue with its push to take over healthcare and everyone needs to stay vigilant on contacting Washington or the administration will pass it in the dead of night. We have also seen this week how the government is hiring almost one million people for the Census Bureau to assist in collecting data. This means almost a million people will come off the unemployment rolls resulting in unemployment numbers dropping. The democrats will tout this as proof their stimulus is working, but when the workers complete the census in six months and are added back to the unemployment rolls, the numbers will go right back up. This is all political posturing to take them past the elections in November. Don’t be fooled by the numbers. Anyone who has driven around the district as I have been doing during the last month can tell you more and more businesses are having to close their doors. Washington promotes tax credits, but what good are tax credits if you have to close your doors before you can take advantage of them? You and I know tax cuts are the answer, even better the Fair Tax.

In closing, I want to thank you for signing up to receive this newsletter and please pass this information on to your friends. We have added the online donations link-up to the website and I invite you donate what you can. I understand the economy has placed a huge burden on everyone’s family, but just as it takes bullets to fight a war, it takes money to run a campaign and I cannot be effective if I do this alone. An early contribution of $10, $20, $50, $100 or more ( maximum is $2,400 in case you were wondering) can be made by clicking the link below. Every bit helps as we work to take back America. Thank you in advance for you encouragement and support in helping me serve the 4th District.

Sincerely,
Larry Gause

I hope you agree and will support my campaign by making a donation today.
