SUPPORT EV JONES FOR CONGRESS

Conversations between neighbors at the grassroots is what always begins fundamental changes in the fate of nations. 

If you believe that Ev Jones's independent campaign for Congress is an important opportunity for progress in Central Washington and for America, then please be willing to talk positively to your neighbors about our ideas and Ev's independent candidacy for Congress.  

You can also help us by posting information about the campaign locally in places where free expression is welcomed. You can...

• Write a supportive Letter to the Editor or an Op-Ed article for printing in your local newspaper, your Neighborhood Patch feed, a blogspot you participate in, or a community newsletter. You don't need to say everything about the campaign or ideas to get the word out. Keep it simple because what we are proposing to do is actually quite simple (and sensible). 
• It might help to just focus on our six strategic ideas for changing Congress!
• Always refer voters in communications to our website: www.evanjones.us.
• Contact local news outlets asking that editors make sure to cover our campaign as well as they do the incumbent and  the other partisan candidates for office. (Ev is the only non-partisan Independent in this race).
• Post information on our behalf in your community: Often, local stores and coffee shops allow for postings on all sorts of things from Babysitting services to upcoming music events or art shows (and often they allow reasonable political messages as well). Please just check with the proprietor to ensure it is okay to post a positive, non-offensive campaign flyer about our campaign. 
• Please be polite and inclusive of all reasonable viewpoints when writing letters, putting up a flyer or posting on the Internet about this campaign.  
• You don't need to be an expert on every issue or each reform concept we are proposing in boosting the idea of an independent, non-partisan campaign for Congress. Just send people to our website at www.evanjones.us for more information. We have worked very hard to communicate substantively on the website about just what this new political approach is all about. It's all there...We have nothing to hide!
• Please show respect to the reasonable objections people may make to our views on national politics.  If there's one thing Ev knows, its that we don't have a monopoly on all the best answers to our nation's challenges and opportunities. (That's sort of the point!)
• Don't get sucked into a verbal or digital fight with an unreasonable antagonist or Internet troll.  One of our points in conducting this campaign is to get as far away as possible from all that fruitless partisan back and forth.  
• Yard Signs? I can't stop you from putting an "Ev Jones-Independent 2022" sign in your yard (but please don't litter). But I will say that we won't use that as one of our substantive tools for communicating.  This is about ideas, not political labels or fancy designs.
• Streetside signs: Please don't contribute to the eyesores on public roadways by posting an Ev Jones sign in the forest of politician placards you'll see sprouting up on every corner come late July.  It is just litter; and besides, what does that tell anyone about our ideas?

Flyer Templates to Print Out and Distribute in the 4th District--Because Handouts Work!

There was no TV, talk radio or Internet in the 1770s.  British money and corrupt power seemed to control all communication in Colonial America. That did not stop Colonists throughout the Eastern seaboard from changing minds one pamphlet at a time.  Americans got on board the "Independence train" by 1776 (and changed their future prosperity forever) by going door-to-door and handing out idea-based paper leaflets, pamphlets and flyers to their neighbors and local merchants.

So we are going to reach out to the 4th District the Old Fashioned way!

Click on a PDF File below for access to one of the "Ev Jones 2022 information flyers" that we have put together. If you want, you can which you can print and distribute these to friends and neighbors, and take some to post in other areas of your community where you have permission to freely express ideas.  You don't have to use these formats if you want to support the campaign...but hopefully they can be cost-efficient and helpful. 

If you do decide to create your own support materials for the Ev Jones 2022 Independent for Congress campaign, we ask that you please consider the following standards:

• Keep it positive and forward-looking!
• We are not running against anything. Talk about what we are for in terms of positively changing the way Congress works for all of us.
• Do not mention the names of our opposing candidates...or disrespect the views of one party or another specifically (unless you can prove they are flat out lying). We ourselves will be doing NO attack politics in this campaign because it is the opposite of the change we are trying to achieve in politics.   I, for one, am sick of it. (This is why we are also not casting about asking for big money in this election. Be the change you want to see.)
• Stay upbeat always as you talk about our ideas and prospects for success! Now more than ever, this kind of disciplined, non-partisan, people-oriented campaign can in fact succeed.
