UPDATE FROM SHEPARD FOR CONGRESS 2008 
http://www.shepard2008.com/
  _____  

Greetings Friends, Family and Supporters!

This message is going out to a great many more people than the last one!  So
far our campaign is going better than we could have hoped going into this.
We have gotten lots of support from not only Libertarians but many
Republicans and Democrats as well.  Several precinct committeemen from other
parties have contacted us to offer support.

COMMENTS AFTER THE LAST DEBATE

"Shepard can eloquently and intelligently address any issue...  he is
well-studied on all the issues" - Gary Welsh of Advance Indiana.

"...he's got an amazing command of issues which I did not expect." - posted
at the Democrat run Taking Down Words BLOG.

"acknowledges that our elected leaders in DC aren't taking us in the right
direction. He alluded to the fact that we shouldn't send the same
Republicans and the same Democrats to Washington when they are part of the
problem." - Hoosier Access

ANOTHER ON-LINE POLL!

We are continuing to do much better than expected in on-line polls and here
is another one that has two days left to go.  Please take a quick moment to
go and cast a vote for me:  <http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/>

WTHR (Channel 13) HAS CHANGE OF HEART

After the Indiana Equality debate, numerous calls and e-mails from
supporters and possibly polling information that shows us doing much better
than expected WTHR has now extended an invitation for me to participate in
the February 24 (Sunday) forum starting at 9:00 AM.  This is great news.

FOOD, FUN AND FUND-RAISER!

It takes money to get our message of smaller government, lower taxes, humble
foreign policy, fiscal stability, school choice and lower cost healthcare.
With no straight party voting in this election we have an excellent
opportunity to really compete but since we are not beholden to special
interests and big money lobbyists, we depend on individual supporters who
agree with our message.  Radio and TV advertising, bumper stickers, yard
signs, flyers, mailings, polls and phone banks all cost money unfortunately.

We're currently planning to hold a dinner/fund raiser on Thursday, February
28th near downtown Indianapolis.  We're planning a special guest, will be
inviting the media and hope you'll be able to join us.  Stay tuned for
details!!

And in the event you just can't wait to help us out, please feel free to
contribute on-line at  <http://shepard2008.com/contribute/>

Getting the message out is very important!  My Republican opponent who acts
like he doesn't even want to be in this race is neither fiscally nor
socially conservative and has already picked up one of my policy points
related to getting government out of the marriage business and adopted it as
his own.   My Democrat opponent wouldn't even be in this race if not for
having the right last name.

MARCH 6th DEBATE AT IUPUI

We received word today that the debate at IUPUI will be on Thursday, March
6th at 7:30 PM.  We will have 50 tickets to give to supporters.  The event
will be held in the 350 seat University Place Auditorium.  WISH's Jim Shella
and WTLC's Amos Brown will be moderating the discussion. 

DON'T WANT CAMPAIGN UPDATES OR GOT IT TWICE?

We've been limiting these to only every couple or few days, but if you
really prefer not get an update on how the campaign is going and what events
are scheduled, absolutely just reply back and ask to be dropped from the
list.  If you got this message twice, let us know also it just means your on
two different lists and we need to get you off of one of them!  

As always, thank you to everyone for their support and good wishes!  March
11th is going to be a landmark day in Indiana!

U.S. House of Representatives
