After an extensive vetting process, the Independence Caucus has endorsed my candidacy for the US House. They support grassroots candidates that stand for limited government, fiscal responsibility, adherence to Constitutional Authority, and a commitment to representing the people and not the political establishment or special interests.



I'm pleased to announce that I've been added to LIBERTY SLATE 2010. This organization identifes those U.S. House candidates that share their dedication to the Constitutional principles of limited government, individual liberty, and personal responsibility. There aren't many candidates that make it on this list - I consider it a privilege.



I would like to recognize the man that has been leading the charge to unseat Bob Etheridge for the past few years: Dan Mansell. Dan, a successful businessman himself, ran against Etheridge despite Obama-mania during the last election. He didn't shy away from the hard fight. He knows as well as anyone about the challenges facing the 2nd District.

When I first considered a run to take back our US House seat from Etheridge, I reached out to Dan. As we got to know one another, he's offered wise counsel and I've come to have even greater respect for him. While Dan opted to not run for office, he has officially announced his endorsement for my campaign. I would like to express my thanks for that vote of confidence as well as his excellent introduction last night in Johnston County. Dan, I won't let you down.





If you've talked to me for more than a few minutes you know my disdain for business-as-usual in D.C. and career politicians like Bob Etheridge (who is campaigning for his 16th year in Congress); they are disconnected from their constituents and seek to govern us rather than represent us. I want to reform that broken system of government.

However, I've met many folks who have heard this story before. Unlike them, I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is.  I will legally obligate myself to turn over a substantial share of all of my assets to charity if I even files for more than 3 consecutive terms in the US House; this is the equivalent of 1 term in the US Senate.





On Feb 19th, 2010, Todd Gailas has made it official; he filed with the NC State Board of Elections in his bid to give the citizens of North Carolina's Second District a real voice in Washington.

Gailas: Living up to our Promises
2010-03-02



If you've talked to me for more than a few minutes you know my disdain for business-as-usual in D.C. and career politicians like Bob Etheridge (who is campaigning for his 16th year in Congress); they are disconnected from their constituents and seek to govern us rather than represent us. I want to reform that broken system of government.

However, I've met many folks who have heard this story before. Unlike them, I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is.  I will legally obligate myself to turn over a substantial share of all of my assets to charity if I even files for more than 3 consecutive terms in the US House; this is the equivalent of 1 term in the US Senate.

Further, I'm dismayed by the idea of Congressmen like Etheridge voting for automatic pay raises when American citizens are losing their jobs due to their govermental actions. To offset this sort of automatic increase, I will contribute 5% of my salary to the charity once in office. I was tempted to return it to the US Treasury but we know it would be wasted on special interest spending.

I'd like to invite you to join me for the signing ceremony this Friday. Details are in the Press Release.

I'm committed to making real reform. Are you?  If so, please support my campaign.

For more information, please check out the Press Release.
