Heres a twitter test
I will be fixing a few bugs on the?http://www.firstgopblogs.com?website this weekend, please be aware of this.?Incase you ?have not registered for your county please do so.??More updates to come soon.?
You may read the entire story at?Petoskey News?? “Neither Hooper nor Goldthorpe were pleased with Casperson?s no-show.”"Hooper claimed Casperson had already received backing from the state?s Republican party and said missing a debate sends the wrong message to voters.”?You can?t ignore debates. He thinks he can be put in by the power of the party,? Hooper said. ?They should not be endorsing anyone before the primary. It?s up to the voters to find out who they want.?Goldthorpe offered a more concise swipe at Casperson for his absence. ?Tom who?? she said. ?If he wants to play ball, he should.? ?
I will be working on contacting a number of people to talk about the reason the FirstGopDebates was started in the first place. I was informed that this website was initially created to help out all three campaigns (Tom Casperson, Linda Goldthorpe, and Don Hooper). I have been told many different versions on why this website and the debate series was intitally created. The “owner” of firstgopdebates.com gave me a call eariler to ask me questions and tell me his whole point on creating the website. He stated “I created this website to help out all the candidates”.I’m waiting on a response from Tom Casperson and others. ?Facts will be placed on this blog.??Updates will follow soon.?
I would like to talk about a few problems that I have noticed with the FirstGOPDebate idea.?First of all..?I’m a fan of a FirstGOP Congressional debate series.. it would be a great idea if Linda Goldthorpe’s campaign was not running the entire show like a monopoly. ?I have found that the Goldthorpe campaign wants to call all the shots with their own moderators which would ultimately be disastrous to the other candidates because she would have the power to subconsiously attack the other?candidates?making herself look better.I have found that the domain for the debate series is under a private registration which means the people running the Goldthorpe show is trying to cover up the possible ownership link to Goldthorpes campaign.?If you take a look at the template used for the website design its very similar to the one of firstgop.com making one think that the Debate series is owned by the FirstGop.com when in fact it is more than likely owned by Goldthorpes campaign.?I may not be a lawyer [which makes me able to run for office knowing nothing] but I can surely understand when someone is trying to cover up something.?I think it’s wrong to hide that information from the public. ????? But what I have found in my research on the Goldthorpe?campaign may have you chilled I have found I will tell you that flat out right now. I have researched the owners of the domain FirstGOPDebates.com?
