Daniel Essek, a Ron Paul Republican and truck driver, has announced that he’s running for senate against Mitch McConnell. A noble but lost cause.
Check out his site here. While the site is in desperate need of the mo touch and a makeover (come on– it’s my first day almost back! let me have my gay joke), it’s filled with information. Contracts, issues, news, a blog, press releases, resume, budget information and a full welcome page. Lots to read up on.
And if you aren’t already raising an eyebrow, check this out. From a press release:
Mr. Essek also is in favor of alternate fuels, making America more energy independant, and reducing the amount of Foreign Oil. Although he does not believe Global Warming/Climate Change is a problem, he is in favor of reducing the amount of pollution generated by Carbon Based Fuels. He is against any form of Foreign Intrusion into the United States of any kind.
How exciting is that? Another Jim Gooch Republican still in denial about global warming.

I’ve read Mr. Essek’s website and like Mr. McConnell’s there are things there on which we disagree. He is big on “The Fence” which I abhor. I am admittedly far more liberal than most anyone on the immigration issue, including my congressman who is going down to the Mexico border this week to do some research.
But, it will be good for Mr. Essek to be out there talking about Senator McConnell and his failed policies.
By the way, his contact address is a PO Box at a Post Office in Jellico, Tennessee, which, admittedly is just across the border, maybe 477 feet if I remember correctly, from the Commonwealth. There are two “main” north-south corridors in Jellico – North Main and Kentucky streets, which fork apart about 125 feet north of the state line and follow south through town to 5th Street, which itself intersects about 1 mile to the southeast with I-75. When I was a kid, and we would travel from Frankfort to Chattanooga, I-75 ended in Jellico. From that point, one had to drive “the old road.” Jellico City is on both sides of the state line. I’m assuming Mr. Essek lives on the north side of town.

Actually, my land is about 800 feet north of the state line.
