Claytor for CongressMy name is Christopher J. Claytor and I plan to run for the office of United States Representative to Congress for the 3rd District of Texas in 2010.

Why?  There are many, many reasons. 

First and foremost is my displeasure with the way the current members of Congress are operating.


The current leaders are acting like spoiled rich children.  They have no concept of fiscal responsibility, and in their zeal to enjoy themselves, and do things in an attempt to make "friends," they spend money at an ever increasing pace, borrowing money they don't have and they can't pay back.

How does the governement keep getting someone to lend them money when most citizens are having a tough time?  They use their "parents" (all current and future U.S. income taxpayers), as co-signers. 

Enough already!   Just like a frustrated parent eventually says NO to the spoiled kid in college who keeps sending home notes "send more money,"  we (taxpayers) must do the same.

How?   Working within the democratic system we here in America have enjoyed for more than 225 years, please excercise your right to vote.  Vote every time the opportunity is presented.   And vote for anybody other than an incumbant person or party.   Its time for "real change."   The 2008 elections showed us that you can not expect that from any incumbant person or party.   We must vote differently if we are to expect a different result.   

I am different.  I am a Libertarian...

I stand for fiscal responsibility and smaller government.  Not the ever increasing deficit spending government of the current leaders in office.

I promote individual responsibility over asking our "big brother" to take care of us.

I am socially tolerant, desiring that every American should be able to live their life the way they want, (as long as they do not infringe on the rights of others to do the same).

I promise to fight to ensure you enjoy the stated freedoms in the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights, just as I did when I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution on the parade field at the United States Military Academy at West Point.

Please take the time to consider all of the candidates and their stance on the issues carefully before deciding who to vote for.

I hope that after careful deliberation you will decide that a vote for Claytor is the only option to put our nation back on a path toward being fiscally responsible!

Thank you.

Christopher J. Claytor


Prep for 2010 Campaign:

If you are ready to do something to stop the Federal Government from giving away all your hard earned tax dollars, to undeserving businesses, organizations, and /or people, please consider...

a)  Join "Downsize DC" or other lobby / interest group that seeks to reduce spending and lower taxes

b)  Write your current leaders frequently, urging them to vote NO on any spending increases or any budgets that are not ballanced.

c)  Participate in any and all elections.   When we as citizens chose to ignore what government is doing, it will grow, and put us all further and further into debt!   (Local May 2009 elections had only a 7.0% (seven percent)  turnout -- all bonds were approved -- our taxes are going up!)

d)  Donate:  If you believe as I do, and wish to assist in my campaign for 2010, please consider sending a donation.   (Contact information here.)
