Essek lists Williamsburg as his home address but if you want to send him a donation, you'll be sending it to a P.O. Box in Tennessee. Go figure.

Make sure and check out the earlier posting about the woman who filmed her daughter chasing down Mitch McConnell getting fired from her job.

Here's Essek's web site and some of his announcement. You may find some of it rather amusing but at least he says what he's for and against.

PRESS RELEASE
January 22, 2008
Committee to Elect Daniel Essek
Frankfort, KY

On this snowy day in Frankfort, Kentucky, Daniel Essek braves the weather, snow and ice to climb the steps of the Capitol Building today. With little fanfare, he has filed his papers, making official his bid to become United States Senator from Kentucky, in the Republican Primary on May 20, 2008, against Mr. Mitch McConnell.

Mr. Essek declares his platform to be Fiscal Responsibility, Security for the Nation, and the Preservation of the Union. He directs us to his website at http://www.essek4senate.org where he has drafted a copy of his "Contract With Kentucky."

He believes we, as a People, are in danger of losing our freedom. He has stated publicly, "We are in for some hard times, but Americans, especially Kentuckians, have a bad habit of uniting and rising to the occasion..
Mr. Essek believes in the Power of the People, the Bill of Rights, and loves Kentucky. He has been seeing the Freedom of the People being chipped away, little by little, over the recent years. He has a plan for Securing the Border, Fighting International Terrorism, and Keeping Safety and Security for the Union.
Mr. Essek has also seen the dangers that Diversion of Federal Funds poses. The Social Security Accounts have been raided, replaced with Government Bonds, and 30% of the Federal Highway Trust Funds have been diverted to other uses, such as, Public Parks, Walking Trails and Mass Transit.
Mr. Essek believes the Citizenry deserves some tax relief.. He proposes making the tax cuts currently in place to become permanant. He also acknowleges the real need for Tax Reform and promises to make that one of his priorities.
Mr. Essek has also seen the recent phenomina of Industry leaving the Union and relocating offshore. Mr. Essek promises to address the problems and motivations of Industry in an effort to bring them home. He insists our Military Equipment must be made Domestically.
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.

Mr. Essek also tells us he expects to have a mighty uphill battle and asks Kentuckians for help. He said Mr. McConnell is expected to outspend him $10 million to $1. Donations to the campaign can be made by mailing a personal check to Daniel Essek, Candidate for US Senate, PO Box 182, Jellico, TN 37762. His sincere appreciation goes to all.
