To everyone concerned…
We, Jeff and I, are very busy people and are doing what time allows us to do at the moment. We would like nothing more than to have a full staff at our beckon call to help with all things concerned. But right now, this is not possible.
We have a new layout/design but have not launched it yet as we are still thumbing through the thousands of “volunteer” emails, not to mention the other thousands that need replying to also. And again, this is ONLY done by Jeff and myself. This site was not meant to be for this upcoming election but for the next one (2010).
Be patient…and better yet…Be NICE!
Your friendly,

I hope this note finds you well. We've completed all of our planning sessions and are accelerating towards the September 1, 2008 launch date of blowoutcongress.com. As promised, we've compiled a list of tasks where we need help. If you have expertise in a given area, please reply via email at volunteer@blowoutcongress.com and we'll coordinate by phone. These help requests are a Wiki type collaborative effort, and we need to be factually correct in all that we do or we lose our credibility. Keep that in mind -- research, confirm and confirm again.
The Help List:
- Internet\Web\Graphic designer: We need intense graphics expertise for the build out of the website, and periodic project help. Must be able to view some sample works.
- Co-author: We need a person to assist Jeff (who is an accomplished writer, so you're not starting from scratch) in quickly writing the book about Blowoutcongress.com.
- Congressional news web crawlers: We need people to gather, analyze and post Congressional news items to BOC.com each day of the week.
- Merchandise Operations: We need a person to research, analyze and make recommendations on merchandise and fulfillment.
- Congressional profiles: We need one volunteer from each state to complete individual Congressional member profiles for each of their members.
- State profiles: We need one volunteer from each state to moderate the individual state discussion boards and to assist in coordinating volunteer efforts.
Stay tuned -- more news to follow soon. Remember: email to volunteer@blowoutcongress.com if you want to assist with the projects listed above and be sure to include your phone number.
Thanks for your devotion.
Best Regards,
JEFF

You knew it would happen. My private phone rings and on the other end is a member of Congress wanting to know why we've launched this effort...so,yes, we're already on the radar in the halls of Congress even before we're fully operational on the web.
Thanks for your patience....and here's the plan: we intend to have the website fully operational by September 1, 2008. To meet that date we'll need you're help, particularly with research. I'm thankful for the many of you who have volunteered your time and expertise -- look for a list of research projects that I'll post next week, the week of July 21.
Hang in there with us, and I'll have additional information shortly.
Best,
JEFF

So many of you -- Americans from all regions in the nation -- are overwhelmingly supporting our efforts here at blowoutcongress.com and I'm grateful to you. I'm also grateful for your patience...our founders work both full and part-time jobs and are continuing to build the site in spare moments. Soon, with your support, we'll have a completed, comprehensive website that will be a useful tool to help you take back your country -- wherever you are in America. One new addition: sign up for the blowoutcongress.com newsletter and we'll give you regular updates on our activities and how you can help.
Kind Regards,
JEFF
Welcome To The Future...
I love our country, but not in some sappy, false, emotional way that is so often seen in the re-election commercials of our Congressional politicians. I love America as an ideal...because we are an empire of ideals, not an empire of conquest.
The ideals of liberty, freedom and fortitude live in each one of us if we allow them to, and are guided by the thoughts and actions of our dear forefathers -- men of courage, integrity and commitment. I believe the same qualities and character exists in American men and women today -- people of great personal honor who want to make a better tomorrow for our nation and our children...mine are 13 and 11 years old. Thank goodness for what will be a better tomorrow with your help: the future we face now, one that has been dictated by a small fraction of our votes, has enabled a seemingly endless series of corrupt Congresses to flourish. Our nation will not survive another round of Congressional inaction, malfeasance and corruption.
So here's the deal. We start over in Congress. From scratch, no exceptions, not one. Every single member of Congress, all incumbents in both the House and Senate, must be blown out of office in their next election cycle. Every one, even the good ones. Don't laugh, there are a small number of patriotic people serving in Congress, but unfortunately they have been overwhelmed by the many others in Congress who have fallen into a sea of ethical and moral confusion. By now you may be wondering if this is a Republican, Independent or Democratic effort -- good news: none of the above. This is an American effort, non-partisan. If you want the America that our fathers, grandfathers and forefathers fought, bled and died for, then you're welcome in the tent. In the coming weeks we'll be adding content with specific plans and calls to action so check back often.
One final note, and I hope this demonstrates our collective commitment to this cause, if we're smart enough to blow out the incumbents in Congress, then we're smart enough to pick a new batch of Americans to serve our new America. Therefore, we will not endorse any candidate, party or position in this effort. The power to think, reason and honor our nation beats within each of us...only by being individuals committed to liberty can we assemble and together make a new America. I'll be back with updates as soon as possible.
Kind Regards,
JEFF BOLTON
