Sunday October 10, 2004 Brian Holtz for Congress
|
As a new U.S. citizen, I get to vote here in the United States for the first time in November. As this is all new to me, and as I live in California where they tag all of these propositions onto the official ballot, I've been trying to do my homework and find out who all the players are and understand as much as I can about each issue. |
Well I nearly fell off my seat when I read through the list of candidates for United States Representative for District 14. There was the name of somebody who I used to work with about ten years ago. Brian Holtz is the libertarian candidate. I'm sure that there are a lot of other people at Sun who remember Brian. If not, there are more details about him and his beliefs at his web site. I see that Brian is also still working on his freely available book, Human Knowledge: Foundations and Limits where he continues to thunk deep thoughts on an eclectic range of subjects.
This morning, I've been finding the reading up on all these propositions very tedious. Having a friend and ex-co-worker in the elections is going to make the November vote a whole lot more interesting.

Ex-Sun Engineer will pay you $5 not to vote for him
Forwarded from Brian Holtz: I was a software engineer at Sun from 1990 through 2001, and am running for Congress as a Libertarian in the Peninsula's 14th district. I'll pay any registered voter in my district $5 if she can pass a short quiz on my positions and still say she probably won't for me. And I'll match that payment with another $5 to the person who first referred her to me. My payouts will be capped at $5000, so act now. Rules and quiz are at http://marketliberal.org/Bet.html.
