TBF Congratulates Joel Demos!

Joel Demos won the TBF "Winner's Circle" Poll. All of the candidates featured in the poll were winners in previous TBF polls.

Joel Demos is not a trust fund baby or a billionaire tycoon. He's a regular guy who works hard to bring home the bacon for his young family. But Demos knows that regular folks can no longer afford to count on the Federal Government to act in the best interests of American families. We all have to get more actively involved.

Not one to shy away from an enormous challenge, Demos is running for congress against a well-financed liberal in one of the bluest districts in the U.S.A. But Demos knows what's at stake this year, and he'd drag a truck across the country with a chain if that's what he needed to do to try to save this country for the next generation.

If we help courageous candidates like Joel Demos, future generations of Americans might be able to realize the American dream:


Demos is by all accounts just as hard working as a campaigner as he is as a family man. Ed Morrissey explains...
If elections hinged on cutting to the heart of the biggest issue in the US with clarity and brevity, as well as wit and humor, Joel Demos would win Minnesota’s 5th CD seat in a landslide. While Keith Ellison and the Democrats in Congress demand more spending, more debt, and more taxes, Demos reminds us exactly who will foot the bill for our profligate and self-absorbed policies in the long run. In his latest campaign ad, Demos tells us why he’s running in an almost-impossible race — and reminds us why it matters...

...This may be a tough race for Joel to win, but no one can say that Joel didn’t put everything he has into fighting for it, and no one in MN-05 can say that they weren’t given a clear choice on November 2nd.
TBF is proud to help introduce Joel to conservatives all over the country, and we look forward to his victory in November. If you can, please send some cash to Joel Demos!

Giving money to hard-working conservative candidates feels good. I know, because I do it every week! I just sent $10 to Joel Demos; now it's your turn:

Ten Buck Fridays: Winner's Circle


A short but very sweet "Ten Buck Fridays" poll ― short because we're starting on Tuesday, but sweet because it's a winner's circle this week. All of the candidates featured in this week's poll have won in previous TBF polls. Many were considered to be underdogs early in the election season, but now they're much more competitive. All of these candidates need our help...

(To ensure that your vote is counted, vote before you view results... and vote from home if possible.)

Bloggers: Share this poll. Results will be cumulative!

Poll closes at 7:00 A.M. Eastern on Friday, October 8

The TBF poll in a nutshell: This is a poll designed to promote rising conservative stars. At the end of the week, the winner will be promoted by a nationwide network of over 80 conservative blogs and will receive a flurry of contributions from patriots across the country.

TBF Congratulates Joel Demos!


Joel Demos is showing us how it's done. Not one to shy away from an enormous challenge, Demos is taking on a well-financed liberal in one of the bluest districts in the U.S.A. But Demos knows what's at stake this year, and he'd drag a truck across the country with a chain if that's what he needed to do to try to save this country for the next generation:


Ed Morrissey explains...

"Minnesota’s Fifth Congressional District may be one of the most liberal districts in the nation. It sent Keith Ellison to Congress in 2006 and kept him there in 2008 by a 48-point margin. It’s a D+23 district according to the Cook Report, but that almost certainly understates the Sisyphean task any Republican would have in pushing Ellison aside, even in a year like this. Instead of Sisyphus pushing the boulder up the hill, Joel Demos gives us a slightly more modern take on how this task looks — and what it will take to succeed...

"Joel has the unenviable task of door-knocking in this district, but from what I hear around the campfire, he’s taking that task and others very seriously..."

Demos also took the task of winning your TBF vote very seriously. He needs your help! As he noted in the original intro to his clever viral video, "This only works if you donate!"

TBF is proud to help introduce Joel to conservatives all over the country, and we look forward to his victory in November. If you can, please send some cash to Joel Demos!

Joel Demos Asks For Your TBF Vote!


Joel Demos has grabbed the attention of political junkies all over the country with a brilliant ad. Ed Morrissey explains...

"Minnesota’s Fifth Congressional District may be one of the most liberal districts in the nation. It sent Keith Ellison to Congress in 2006 and kept him there in 2008 by a 48-point margin. It’s a D+23 district according to the Cook Report, but that almost certainly understates the Sisyphean task any Republican would have in pushing Ellison aside, even in a year like this.

"Joel has the unenviable task of door-knocking in this district, but from what I hear around the campfire, he’s taking that task and others very seriously..."

No kidding!

Joel was included in this week's Ten Buck Fridays poll, and he's taking that very seriously too. See the URL at the top of his viral video? Yeah, that's a link to the TBF poll!

He's also been reminding his supporters to vote for him via Facebook:


"Joel Demos for U.S. Congress Go to http://www.rightklik.net/ and vote for Joel for the '10 buck friday poll' !!!"

It's early in the week, but Joel has earned a commanding lead in the TBF poll. Good luck to all of the TBF nominees!

Update: Tony Sutton, the chairman of the Minnesota GOP, is lending a hand:


"Help Joel! RT @JDemos4Congress Go to http://www.rightklik.net/ & vote for Joel in the '10 buck friday poll'! http://fb.me/yAottG5P #mn2010"

Have you voted in this week's poll? Take a hint from Lorie Byrd and go vote now!
