Congressional Candidate Richard P. Matthews [R-2] Announces 24 Hour GOTV Effort
Pasadena, MD, October 24, 2008 -- Congressional Candidate Richard P. Matthews announced today that he and his team of supporters will be campaigning for a complete 24 hours. This effort will begin Saturday, October 25 at 10:00 a.m. and end on Sunday, October 26 at 10:00 a.m. “I hope that this event will show those that are voting for me and those that are dissatisfied with Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger’s nonchalant attitude that I will never stop working for Marylanders. No matter if it is 2 in the morning or 2 in the afternoon, it is my objective to listen and get things done while serving in the House of Representatives,” stated Matthews.
Matthews has posted information on his website in regards to this campaign initiative. His staff has also sent e-mail blasts and talked to a number of team volunteers. Matthews states, "This will be the biggest event of my campaign so far. I am positive that it will be highly successful and reach out to many voters".
Gary Collins, stated, “I have been overwhelmed by the amount responses I have received from those located in Havre de Grace, to concerned residents in Dundalk filled with excited about this event. They are excited to see a politician dedicate his entire weekend to further his cause and spread his message of liberty, peace, and prosperity.” Collins serves as the campaign’s Director of Operations.
This 24 hour ‘Get Out The Vote” initiative will begin with a sign waving event at the intersections of York Road and Padonia Road in Timonium, Maryland at 10:00 a.m. Matthews will draw this project to a close during a scheduled rally in the same community as Ruppersberger’s district office the following morning at 9:30 a.m.
A detailed schedule of events can be obtain through the “Press Release” section of the website later today or via the url: www.richardmatthews.org/press.

Ron Paul to Publicly Endorse Maryland Republican Congressional Candidates
|
|
|
05 October, 2008 - 7:19 PM

Congressman Ron Paul will headline a rally and fundraiser this Thursday night, October 9th, at the Comcast Center at the University of Maryland in College Park. General admission to the event is $25 ($5 with student ID), with doors opening at 7:30pm. A VIP event with Ron Paul will begin at 6:30pm and will cost $150. The event will be sponsored by Maryland Students for Liberty and Liberty PAC. All the Maryland Republican Congressional candidates have been invited to participate and speak. Those confirmed so far are: Richard Matthews (MD-2), Peter James (MD-4), Collins Bailey (MD-5), and Mike Hargadon (MD-7). All four Congressional candidates believe in limited Constitutional government, fiscal responsibility, sound money, individual responsibility, economic and personal liberty, American independence and national sovereignty. The Maryland candidates have indicated that the enthusiasm surrounding their campaigns has picked up in the past week, especially after Congress passed a controversial $700 billion bailout last week. The four candidates are uniformly opposed to any form of bailout, and they believe the public supports that view as well.

The Matthews campaign has been working hard to spread the message of Liberty, Peace, & Prosperity. Many of our friends who supported Congressman Ron Paul’s Presidential run have joined in our efforts. We are extremely proud to announce that Congressman Ron Paul has endorsed my our for Congress.
Richard shares my interest in lowering taxes, reducing the size of the federal government, bringing our troops home, and protecting the civil liberties of Americans. Richard will work to strengthen the power and independence of State and Local Governments by reducing the federal stranglehold over them. Richard will work hard for the citizens of Maryland. He will bring a fresh voice to the House of Representatives. I encourage all Marylanders of the Second Congressional District to vote for Liberty, Peace, & Prosperity; vote for Richard Matthews.
- Congressman Ron Paul

On August 9th Richard and his wife Wendy welcomed supporters, volunteers, and donors to their home to take part in the favorite past time of Marylanders. A good ole fashioned Crab Feast! The crabs were great, the beer was cold, and the camaraderie was superb. With the money raised we will continue spreading our message of Liberty, Peace, & Prosperity.

Republican Matthews calls for troops to come home in 2009
|

13 February, 2008 - 9:38 PM

February 14th, 2008
Baltimore, MD – Republican candidate for Congress Richard Matthews calls for a safe and swift withdraw of U.S. Forces stationed in the Middle East in 2009. Matthews states as a campaign promise, “If I gain the trust of the voters of Maryland to serve in 2009, I will not vote for any bill that extends the presence of the U.S. military in Iraq. Any bill that includes spending for the continuation of U.S. military operations in Iraq, I will commit myself to vote against.”
Candidate Matthews thinks that the mission(s) in Iraq have been accomplished. “We have verified that there are no weapons that are threatening the security of the United States, we have toppled a dictator, and now is the time for us to step out of the way and let Iraq become a sovereign, independent nation.”
The Matthews campaign feels that the Democratic incumbent in Maryland’s Second District C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger can be commended for voting against the “surge” in Iraq in early 2007. However, his stated position of a “Perimeter Plan” does not help protect the security of the United States. As quoted by Ruppersberger on his Congressional website from January 10th of 2007 –
“Changing the mission of U.S. forces, redeploying them to perimeter areas, and lowering the profile of the U.S. forces in urban areas will break the dependency the Iraqi military has on U.S. forces. Our ultimate goal is to bring our men and women in uniform home. I believe this change in strategy will help us do that.”
Matthews states, “A plan to move troops to perimeter areas does nothing for the security of the United States. With our goals accomplished in Iraq our presence on their soil can only be seen as an occupying force, no matter how benevolent our intent may be. Active military occupation will, of course, cause radical elements of any society to target their occupiers. To only move our forces into safe compounds on the outside of urban areas is a move that would yield little, if any, positive result.
“Complete removal of our forces from Iraq as soon as safely feasible, and neighboring countries shortly following, is the plan of action I advocate. I plan to vote only in this fashion upon my election to Congress in 2009. Six years of war is enough, 3960 U.S. Solders dead is too much. Redeployment of many of these units to protect our own borders rather than inside Iraq’s is what I support.
