My Jobs and Economic Speech

I just finished giving a speech at the AFSCME in Huron. They were pleased to find out I wanted to bring jobs to South Dakota and America. The room got a little tense when I mentioned most of the jobs I were bringing were burger-flippers and cashiers. I think I won them over when I talked about my plan for minimum wage.

For too long, minimum wage has been a set number. It is currently at $5.15 an hour. It will soon go up to $5.75. But even that is not enough to maintain a living. My plan sets minimum wage as the total of the following: A week’s worth of rent for a one-bedroom apartment, a week’s worth of food, a week’s worth of transportation, plus a week’s worth of utilities.

We have the resources. We can make this plan happen.

Nothing in Oregon Either

I didn’t receive any delegates in Kentucky or Oregon tonight.  There’s still Montana, South Dakota, and Puerto Rico.  The campaign and the numbers have been stagnant since the infamous brownie incident in Louisville.

Campaigning will resume tomorrow.  I will head up to Virginia and campaign for the General Election.  I might hit Tennessee  by Knoxville late tomorrow afternoon before heading home.

Come on Oregon!

It looks like I will not be getting any delegates from Kentucky. I am hoping that I can get some from Oregon. It doesn’t matter which party. If you’re in Oregon and you haven’t voted yet, please go vote now and write in “Ahmnodt Heare” in either the Democratic or Republican Primary.

Schedule – May 17 and 18

I am trying something different this weekend.  I am staying in Lexington tonight and relaxing with some supporters.  Tomorrow and Sunday, I will travel through Kentucky where the wind takes me.  I will stop in places to talk with people about the issues.  Whether it is a customer in a diner wondering about jobs or a stripper in a dance club wondering where her next fix is going to come from, I will be there to listen.  I will give the best advice I can give and offer encouragement.

Ahmnodt Heare gets 7% in Democratic Write-In Campaign!

Election Center 2008: Primary Results for West Virginia – Elections & Politics news from CNN.com

Independent Write-In Candidate has claimed the 7% of the votes not cast to either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.  This means that Heare will receive a delegate for the Democratic Primary.

THANK YOU WEST VIRGINIA!

Second in Both West Virginia Primaries

It will not be easy, bit I think I can finish second in both primaries tomorrow.  I can finish second in the Democratic Primary because they just don’t like Barack Obama for some reason.  Hillary Clinton will win big (unless her supporters decide not to show up, that would be my only chance to win.)

The Republicans have John McCain expecting to win big.  If his margin of victory is large enough, I could sneak past Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, and Albert Howard and take second.

My hardest obstacle is overcoming the misinterpretation of my blog yesterday.  It is about family values and nothing more.
