Rick Waugh for Congress

Jon Taylor vs Eric Cantor, and doing what is right!

Sunday, March 27th, 2011
We have met this month's goals in helping fund Jon Taylor's defense!  His defense team is now made of the best attorneys in the country!  For those of you who wanted to donate to my campaign, I thank you for reconsidering and donating to the right causes....whether that be Jon Taylor's defense, help for Japan, or the tragedy in Haiti.  Unlike Congressman Cantor, you know exactly how to use money that you can spare.  After all, it was Eric Cantor's security squad who violently threw Mr Taylor to the ground for wanting to ask him a question.   It has been proven that the courts have seen no proof of Mr. Taylor being disruptive, yet the prosecution still marches on against him!  So, I continue to ask for your generosity to help Jon Taylor and his family through this difficult time. 

Some have ridiculed me for going out of my way to not accept campaign funds, in favor of those funds going to the right causes, but I know in my heart, I am doing the right thing.  Mr. Taylor wanted to simply exercise his citizen's right to talk to his Congressman during an election year, and I owe it to him, his family, and the people of this District that I will do everything I can to defend that right.  Right is right, wrong is wrong and I would be doing a disservice to my community if I didn't use my power to help others rather than myself.  Of course, as you can see from Cantor's previous fundraising requests, he cares more about keeping power, rather than using that power to help others. 

So again, I ask you to donate to Mr. Taylor's defense,....not my campaign.  You have helped meet the goals I asked of you for the March winds, and I know we can do it again to help Jon through the April showers!  Lets give Jon and his family piece of mind, and mail a check to Jon Taylor's Defense fund at P.O. Box 40, Louisa Virginia 23093.  Thank you.

March 15th Press Release

 For immediate release
 3/15/2011
Eric Cantor is raising millions of his dollars using my name!  The Majority Leader of the entire Republican Party has now publicly announced that our Rick Waugh for Congress movement in the 7th District is a massive threat to him.  He announced that his supporters must prepare for an epic battle in 2012!

He reminds his supporters what we are capable of if we band together!  So in this time of need, I ask you and your readers to use my name to donate,... but not to my campaign.  Donate to a charity of your choice to help Japan in this tough situation.  Many organizations like the Red Cross and Doctors without Borders, and many others need your help more than Eric Cantor's campaign or even my campaign.  I challenge Eric Cantor to also do the same with his supporters; to use my name to raise money for good causes – not multi-million dollar campaigns.  That is the least Eric Cantor can do since he has chosen to risk lives by cutting the infrastructure here in the United States, the same infrastructure that possibly saved millions of lives in Japan this past week.  Will Eric Cantor join me to help others using my name, or will he just continue to use my name to help himself?

Below is the letter he sent to all of his supporters to help himself using my name to attack and raise money.  He obviously cannot see the big picture, as he is more worried about me as a threat to take his seat in 2012, rather than doing the right thing.  I beg you and your readers to use this letter to help others.  I worry about Japan today.  I'll worry about Cantor's bad policy and his merry band of millionaires tomorrow – Eric Cantor is not more important than those suffering.  There are bigger things going on.  Please donate to the right causes, not my campaign!  That's called character!

Thank you!

Election Results by the Washington Examiner - Cantor shows vulnerability to Waugh

The interesting omens surrounding Eric Cantor. Mr. Cantor defeated Democrat Rick Waugh ................ But Cantor's 59 percent of the vote was the lowest among Virginia's incumbent Republicans as well as the lowest of his career (even in the Democratic wave of 2008, Cantor won win 63 percent of the vote). His higher profile has brought greater scrutiny and it will only grow over the next two years.  When his district is redrawn, it’s assumed that some of his currently-represented areas will be shifted to Rep. Bob Goodlatte. That might make Cantor’s home base even more Republican.

Pulitzer Prize winners and others reviewed our commercials as a leader
in communicating good and bad legislation, not hiding from it!


This is what happens if you want to talk to the Republican Leadership!


He still refuses to debate, hold Town Hall Meetings, or talk to his constituents.  This was at the parade and event in Richmond in September, 2010.  Yes, that is me he is dissing!


From the Bayne campaign in July 2010, where he refused to debate his opponents, claiming that he didn't have time.  Yet, he has time for this little book signing?
