Hello to the DailyKos community. I wrote many diaries back during the 2010 election for Democratic Congressional Candidate Jim Holbert. Now I'm back, still working hard in Southern Kentucky for the Progressive cause. Outside of my work on individual campaigns, I serve as the President of the Pulaski County Young Democrats, in a very Republican area.

Kentucky is at the center of American politics right now. Quite frankly, we've gotten used to it. We're always the home to competitive US Senate races, and this year is no different. Democrat Jack Conway is fighting off Republican Rand Paul in a battle that is sure to be one for the history books. In the background, however, there is a candidate running for the United States House of Representatives who is more Progressive than Jack Conway, and that candidate is Jim Holbert.

If I didn't, I really should have. That's what we have to show for 30 years of Hal Rogers and his failed economic and foreign policies. When it comes right down to it, Southeast Kentuckians cannot afford two more years of Hal Rogers and his failed politics and policies of the past. If we don't start to slow the growth of long term poverty and joblessness, Southeast Kentucky will become an economic wasteland with a shrinking population.

Kentucky's 5th District has a choice this November. They can choose Hal Rogers, a politican who for the last 30 years has been voting against our interests, or a Progressive Democrat who stands ready to fight to end the wars, end free trade, and create a sensible national energy plan. I'm working my butt off to get Jim Holbert elected, going door to door in my deeply Republican county. But I will fight on and I will continue my effort to "Send Hal Home". All I ask is that you help me.

When I talk to people about our candidate for Congress here in the district, I ask them a simple question, "how long do we have to wait before someone tackles the poverty issue in our region?" I have the answer: not long.

I know what you're thinking (I can read minds, you know). You're thinking "Progressives actually exist in rural Southeast Kentucky?", and my answer is "Yes, they do!" and one of them is running to represent my district in the US House of Representatives.

I was so proud when I heard that my Congressman, Kentucky Republican Harold 'King of Pork' Rogers was dubbed the August "Porker of the Month" by Citizens Against Government Waste. Why, you may ask? Is it the millions of dollars he pours into Kentucky's 5th District, which happens to be the second poorest district in the nation? Or is it the fact that he wants to steer $5 Million to an organization which employs his daughter? Well, yes and yes.

Hello again to the DailyKos community! After a month long break from posting diaries, I again take pen (or, in this case, keyboard) in hand to introduce you to a candidate I am advocating for here in Kentucky.

Most people in Kentucky's 5th Congressional District, the second poorest district in the nation, don't know about Congressman Rogers and his deplorable voting record. We must make this public knowledge, and that's why we urgently need your help.

So I've been posting for a month now on Daily Kos about our Congressional race here in Southeast Kentucky. Jim Holbert is our nominee for Congress and he is in need of your help. I hope you will be willing to help out.

Congressman Hal Rogers of Kentucky's 5th District wants you to pay $5 Million to help Cheetahs in Namibia. Oh wait, he wants to help his daughter.

In politics, it's a constant effort to raise money. But when you're the underdog, who has no connections, it's like pulling teeth raising money. That's the kind of situation I'm in.
