Bailey for U.S. Congress - Maryland, District 5

I finally discovered who is running against my congressman Steny Hoyer: Collins Bailey. It concerns me greatly that it was so hard to find him. No one that I asked knew. Several searches on Yahoo and Google for various keywords did not return any links that provided the answer. I found what I was looking for from a Yahoo search yesterday for "republican, district 5, maryland" and the first listing took me to a page at Wikipedia.

After doing my homework about Mr. Bailey, I found him to be on the same page as me with regard to government thus far.

I submited a form to find out more information to volunteer for his campaign. This is what I submitted:

"I want to do all I can to remove Steny Hoyer from office. Please let me know how I can help you defeat him.

I have learned about your positions through the material contained on your website, and find you to be precisely inline with my values, standards, and convictions.

...

I have sent several letters to Benjamin Cardin, Barbara Mikulski, & Steny Hoyer on several subjects including the fairness doctrine, drilling for oil, and the bailout of bad mortgages."
