 My husband Jim’s diverse experiences in military, business, and academics have instilled in him a deep love of this country, a fierce passion to defend and renew the principles for which it stands, and the leadership and knowledge to get it done. His deep concern over our faltering economy, runaway government growth, and our weakened defense have him motivated to run for U.S. Congress. He wants to defend our country and our families, our freedoms and our pocketbooks. Please help our family make this decision by donating to Jim’s Congressional Exploratory Committee. Your thoughts and comments are most welcome at jim@jimforsythe.com. -Sue Forsythe www.jimforsythe.com/

John DiStaso's Granite Status: Paul backer enters GOP 1st District raceBy JOHN DISTASOSenior Political Reporter Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2008 Ron Paul received only 8 percent of the vote in the New Hampshire primary, but he may have spawned a new generation of Republican candidates. The first to emerge is Jim Forsythe of Strafford. A relative unknown despite being the local town GOP committee chair, he is the third candidate in the Republican 1st District U.S. House primary race that also includes Jeb Bradley and John Stephen. Forsythe, 39, is a businessman, former pilot who flew in Somalia, Bosnia and Iraq, a former associate professor at the Air Force Academy and the owner of a doctorate degree in aerospace engineering. According to libertarian commentator and former Paul chief-of-staff Lew Rockwell's Web site, Forsythe is one of several " Ron Pauls" running for the House or Senate across the country this year. Will the little-known Forsythe be just an after-thought in the Bradley-Stephen primary? Maybe. But before you write him off, consider this: Forsythe and his supporters have organized a Paul-style "money bomb" for him tonight with a goal of getting 400 people to contribute $1,000. That's $400,000, which would be quite a start. Forsythe and his money bomb have received lots of attention on Paul supporters' blogs. And you'll remember that Paul supporters banned together to raise $6 million in a one-day "bomb" in December. So, we'll see. Forsythe was away this week, but friend and adviser Andy Demers said Forsythe was inspired to run less by Paul than by "concern about where the country is going, the representation we have in Washington right now and the fact that he is more qualified than the other running." Demers said that although Forsythe does not shy away from his support for, and by, Paul, "I think he will be endorsed by all different kinds of folks once they hear more about him."
