In politics you often find campaigns are often driven by advertising and high level media campaigns. I've never been comfortable with those types of campaigns. I'd much rather my campaign be grassroots driven, a campaign where an honest dialogue takes place, a campaign where you can voice your concerns, offer your suggestions and be heard. I hope my campaign is one where you feel comfortable approaching me with your ideas, where we can develop a real relationship – even a partnership. I invite you to become a partner with me in promoting our shared values and ideas, and electing other like minded officials.

What does being a Partner mean to me?
One thing I've learned during my years in Congress is that you, the people I represent, are a tremendous and often untapped source of ideas, opinions and knowledge about the issues we face. Many communicate these ideas to me; many more do not, and there are not enough opportunities to bounce ideas among those who share concerns about the same issues. This site is designed to make better communication possible with you, my supporters, my friends and my "Partners" in the important work we do. One of the great opportunities this site provides is to discuss issues as they are being debated – not just after they appear in the newspaper. From my perspective, that kind of dialogue is essential. Return to top

What are the benefits becoming a Partner?
As a Partner you will be an important part of the political process. We are planning periodic "Town Call" meetings, a simple conference call, where we can gather on the phone and share ideas. You will be invited to meet with political leaders from across the nation periodically, either in person, on-line or on the phone. Join Partner advisory groups on issues important to you. Other events include Partner barbeques and other social gatherings. Return to top

What's expected of me?
There isn't a long list of expectations. I want more people to become involved in politics; this is a way to do it. You will be asked to go to your neighborhood caucus meeting and either run to be elected as a delegate or support someone else who shares our values. You will also be given the opportunity to make small contributions to the campaigns of candidates around the country who share our values. For example, take a look at this list. The amount isn't important, but the demonstration of support that even $5 from you and other Partners represents means a lot to candidates. It's also important that you visit the Partner website often, participate in my blog, and use the tools we have created by which to share your thoughts and ideas. Recruit other Partners by sending an email to your contact list, recording a short video or voice message that is sent to your neighbors, or hold a small meeting with your close friends and/or business associates.

Who does this help?
The Partner program is not just about Chris Cannon. This election is one of the most important of a generation. The stakes are high and others around the country will and do need our help. My vision is that you, together with other Partners, can help candidates across the nation. For example, take a look at this list. Periodically, I will send you an email with information about other candidates who need support. Please look at those candidates' positions on the issues and creditentials. If you agree that a candidate is deserving of our support, please make a small donation to his or her campaign. Return to top

What makes this program different than others?
